Pegasus 42 Trainers

Too small in my usual size, too narrow toe box and thus rubs my toes, too soft sole, meant only for asphalt, colour looks orange, not coral/pink. Have to return.

I dread having to purchase running shoes, as there are so many to choose from, and each pair fits differently. I love these shoes! I was a huge fan of the Pegasus 38, purchased two pairs. I tried the Pegasus 41 and didn't feel like they had enough cushion on the soles for running, and they just felt hard and cheap on my feet. I saw that the Pegasus 42 was going to be released so I patiently waiting for them- and boy am I glad I did! They are great! They have a tad bit wider toe box compared to the 38, so they aren't as narrow which I love. They have great cushion on the soles so they absorb impact as expected. My legs & feet feel great after brisk walks and jog/runs. I'm normally a size 8 in athletic shoes, but for Nike running shoes I always purchase a size 8.5. These fit great. I purchased the white with green and they look lovely- very sporty. Kinda wish they had more colors to choose from. Will be back for a second pair just to have as backup.

I really like the Pegasus 42. It’s comfortable right away and I can wear it all day without my feet hurting. I’ve used it for walking, lifting and running and it feels lightweight but still supportive. The cushioning is a nice balance; not too soft, not too stiff. Honestly it’s a great everyday shoe for me.

These shoes are *chef’s kiss* - was running in Pegasus Premiums for several weeks before 42’s release and was so nervous to run a race in my 42s having only ran 2.5 miles in them prior to it but BOY did I make the right decision!! The comfortability yet snug fit, the padding yet total control, the weightlessness - this shoe is the total package. Brought me a race PR and no foot aches. You know you’re in a good shoe when you can’t hear your feet slap the pavement. These are it! Thank you Nike!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are amazinggggg. Am in love. These shoes have a snug fit. The feeling of comfort soft bouncy insole bring aches and discomfort to and end. There’s some type of elevation these shoes gives. These shoes may be listed as runners but I believe people who stand on feet for long period will enjoy wearing these. The fabric is breathable, some type of stretch but yet still snug. Can wait to see how it up keep.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These sneakers fit true to size and feel great! Great cushion in the heel and moderate arch support. I am a heavy heel striker when I walk and these handle the impact and support my heels and knees. Sleek design with a breathable yet sturdy fabric. The shoe looks good with both workout wear and on athleisure days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have an amazing amount of squish for walks! The front of the shoe is wider for a good toe spread and the ankle support feels good. I can wear these to the gym for upper body and cardio and they work well. I love this colorway too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the moment I saw the shoes, I loved the silhouette and the color scheme. They’re incredibly light, and that feeling stays even once you put them on. The materials make the shoe comfortable and easy to wear for long periods. While running, the foam throughout the heel provides soft cushioning that reduces impact and makes each stride feel smooth. It honestly feels like running on pillows. The fit is true to size, and overall it’s a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable running shoe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great shoes for regular recovery runs. It did not take any time for my feet to get used to them and they are comfortable, light, and supportive. I also love the way they look so I can see myself using them for everyday life as well. They felt a little too cushiony for speed runs and I would not use them on very long runs or race day either. However, I will use them consistently for my shorter recovery runs outside as they felt perfect during these runs. One thing I would improve is the laces, which came undone during my run and don’t feel very secure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike zoom Pegasus 42 are the best version of Pegasus yet! The fit through the whole shoes is incredible. Support and stability without feeling clunky. Enough cushion to feel like I could run for miles. The ventilation keeps my feet cool and the laces stay tied for no trip ups. Great great shoe. I would love to see more color ways.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a seasoned runner and recently recovered from an ankle fracture. These Pegasus 42s are the best version yet! I love the full zoom unit cushioning and feel like I can wear them all day. They got true to size; not too wide or too long. The upper feels soft and breathable as Pegasus do. The transition is also smooth and not slappy. My heels also feel locked in and doesn't slip. I just love the cushioning on these and I think it should be the new standard for Pegasus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Air Zoom Pegasus 42s for running/exercise, but have found myself constantly grabbing them to wear out and about/casually as well. From running, to running errands, these shoes have kept my feet feeling so comfortable and supported. They are also extremely stylish, which is important to me! The responsive cushioning feels luxurious, and I honestly have a hard time taking these shoes off. They really feel great on your feet. The stretchy material of the shoe makes them really breathable as well, so my feet aren’t getting sweaty! I love these - consider this your sign to GET THEM!! <3

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pegasus has always been a great shoe but haven’t bought a new pair in years but still after years it did not disappoint. Still one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve had. Very light shoe to walk and workout with still a great cushion. The black and white color goes perfect with everything. This shoe works great for workouts, running and standing long periods of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 continues its legacy as the "workhorse with wings," and after putting serious miles into this latest iteration, it’s clear why this line remains a staple for runners. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality trainer that balances performance with long-term durability, this is it. From the first mile to the double digits, the comfort level is exceptional. The updated foam and Zoom Air units provide a responsive, cushioned ride. When I first stepped into the shoe, I noticed a distinctly snug fit across the midfoot and toe box. If you have a slightly wider foot, it might feel a bit restrictive right out of the box. However, don't let that initial tightness deter you. The engineered mesh upper is designed to be adaptive. After about two or three runs, the material eased significantly, molding to the shape of my foot for a secure, "locked-in" feel that provided stability without the initial squeeze.
