Then, as we move around to the side of the shoe, you can see that they continue with the perforations up to about where the heel counter is. So, all the way from my heel strike through to my toe-off, I felt natural, flexible, and smooth and I never felt restricted by the upper. I never felt like it was inhibiting my gait at all. But it’s very comfortable and it’s very flexible. For me, the upper on the Pegasus 37 felt a little bit plasticky.Īlso, the Pegasus 38 has a couple of layers of material on the upper, which, consequently, does make the shoe run a bit warm underfoot. It’s softer to the touch than it was with the Pegasus 37. The first thing you’re going to notice is that this feels more cloth-like. Let’s take a real close look at the material that they made this upper out of. You’re going to feel locked in and secure all the way back to the heel cup. They maintained that solid lockdown feeling across the midfoot, which is awesome. Up in the toe box, we’ve got just a little bit more room than what we had in the Pegasus 37 in order to be able to splay our toes and that feels terrific.

However, it is light enough if you want to pick up the pace a little bit. So, I like to use it more for those easy-run days where I’m not necessarily trying to set a best PB kind of a thing. The Pegasus is not the lightest daily trainer that’s out there. It’s soft, it’s cushioned, and it’s responsive.

The Pegasus is accommodating if you’re a heel striker because it does have a nice bevel on the heel, which aids in that transition from the heel to the toe. It’s a natural feeling smooth transition through your gait cycle from your footstrike all the way through to your toe-off.

In terms of performance, I found the shoe to be fun to run in.

So, whether you’re new to running or you’re an advanced runner, I think this shoe has a lot to offer for both of you. I think the Pegasus is a shoe that fits a lot of different runners and running styles. The Pegasus and the Nike Invincible are two of Nike’s most comfortable sneakers.
