Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40

A little heavier and firmer than what I would ideally like. Not as comfortable as the previous version(39). Still

The Pegasus 40 is the Honda Accord of shoes. It does everything well, nothing outstanding, and will give you many trouble free miles. At a time when there are many exciting shoes using crazy stack heights and midsole compounds, the Pegasus doesn’t get the praise it deserves. I like to keep an exciting shoe in the mix to spice up my runs sometimes, but for day-in day-out running at a variety of paces and conditions, the Pegasus just gets it done.

I've been training in Pegasus/Air Zoom Pegasus for decades since the beginning and they're now up to #40. By far best shoe ever made. Perfect combination of cushioning in forefoot/heel, great side to side stability, arch size & support and super comfortable inner liner. But maybe best of all is, this shoe is absolutely perfect in the way it lets the foot "strike, plant, and roll" on every single step exactly the way it should. In perfect harmony with the foot and body

not sure if it’s the shoe or changes in my running, but most runs I get a numb/tingling feeling in my planter fascia Area in my right foot. This is a new development since training in these new shoes.

Most neutral trainers today have switched to forefoot rocker, even traditional favorites like the Nimbus, Cumulus, and Ride (and the pseudo-minimalist Kinvara)! But the Pegasus endures. The Peg 40 is my first Pegasus- in the past I liked the aforementioned trainers from other brands. I don't like forefoot rockers (I know what I'm talking about- I've run hundreds of miles in Hoka Cliftons and newer Saucony Rides- it just feels muted to me) so the Pegasus is the shoe for me.

I used to be afraid of heel-toe drops above 8mm, but I find the 10mm Pegasus is pretty good. Minimalist rhetoric appeals to me, but I find solace in the fact that many very fast people have run a lot of their mileage in the Pegasus or shoes like it.

I like the forefoot air pad. It makes the ride feel much more cushioned. Although it is a little weird because I can distinctly feel the forefoot air pad when I am standing or walking. Also, the heel cushioning is very good. I think I usually mostly midfoot strike, but sometimes when I'm running down a hill slowly I heel strike and these feel fine with that.

React foam is outdated and extremely comfortable. The whole entire geometry of the shoe is just awful. I feel like the minute I go out for a run in it, I'm going to get injured

I have worn many versions of this show and it delivers consistent cushioning and it durable.

Been using pairs of these for about five years now for all my standard mileage. You can also do some workouts in them as they're pretty light. Usually last me 3 months, or about 500-600 miles while still feeling good.

Very cushioned, poor durability already breaking down <200 miles. Expensive.

I love this shoe. I wear them every time I run now. Last month, I took these shoes with me on a hike in Colorado. Held up then too. Mostly I just use them for running. A bit expensive, but 100% worth it.
