NikeWomen's Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Running Shoes

I love running, and I love long distances (favorite racing distances are 10K, 12K, 15K, and half marathons). Back in my high school track-and-field days, I was fitted and told I need to use a specific line of Brooks for support. Eventually I evolved to like Saucony; mainly because they were cheaper but also because the fit...worked? After I started triathlons and Ironmans a few years ago, my miles grew exponentially so I decided to get refitted for a better sneaker once more. I found the Brooks Ghost at that point and was very pleased for nearly 9-ish months. They were a comfortable shoe that fit me well, however I found over time, the lack of ankle support really started to take it's toll. FYI, I change out my shoes roughly every 3-4 months depending on the amount of miles ran. By about last December, I started to get right foot pain after each run. Instead of looking elsewhere, I bought the next generation of Brooks Ghost. This seemed to only worsen the lack of ankle support and regular foot pain after longer distances. Finally, in search of another shoe, I found myself drawn to Nike even though I've never owned a pair of Nikes in my life. RunnersWorld and Triathlon articles have many suggested brands, and I never thought I'd see the day Nike was in their top 10. I must've missed how much Nike has changed their line of runners over the past decade; suggesting that their shoes are now more comfortable and faster. I decided to take a chance with the Air Zoom Pegasus 36. The moment I put these on, they felt AMAZING! Typically any pair of new running shoes needs some time doing low miles to really break them in, however these adorable lime green Pegasus felt like they were made for my feet from day one! I should advise, I do have normal to narrower feet and these fit like a glove. The Pegasus is like a cloud supporting all the right places, springing comfortably with each stride, and VERY lightweight! I was so surprised at the light feel that I put these on an ounce/gram scale to compare with my Ghosts. The Pegasus 36 pair weighed in at 478 grams and the Ghost 12 pair weighed in at 568... a 90g difference! That may not sound like much but when you add miles or do the distance after 90K of biking, shaving off a few grams can make all the difference. On my first run with these I took them to the track and did 8.5 miles, 6.25 of which at race pace. I got some of my fastest times recorded in a long time on the track that day. And bonus, no ankle or foot pain! I also did not need to stretch regularly between splits, because my legs felt amazing! Time will really tell how the Pegasus will hold up against the elements, but to be honest, even if these don't make it as my new, forever running brand, I would be happy to keep these as an everyday walking shoe. They are OH SO COMFORTABLE! Today after my run I actually put them back on to wear at work for a 12-hour shift. I can honestly say I never did that with my Ghosts 11s or 12s. :-)I'll report back in a few months to advise how these are holding up. ...maybe by then I'll actually get to run a race in these?!?!?! *hopes* That is, if Covid-19 ever calms the fudge down!!!!Hope y'all stay safe and healthy out there! Cheers!***5 month update***** I still love the Nike Pegasus 36. Since July I purchased a 2nd pair in pink/black in order to alternate wear. The shoes still feel as comfortable as ever. I have even been able to run two Covid-approved races since October (a 10K and Half Marathon) where I placed 1st place overall female in both! However, I discovered that while I love the light-weight and energy transfer from the Pegasus, I am a greater fan of them with in shorter distances. When reaching the 13 mile mark, my joints feel as those they could use more stability. In a 10K, the Pegasus worked fantastic! I compared a half marathon solo run with the Pegasus then did the same with my old Brooks Ghost. While the Brooks still caused a few blisters and foot pain, my knees and poster kept better than with the Pegasus. I've learned that sometimes too much cushion with less structure can cause more work for the body to maneuver between stride (for me at least). I am still a complete fan of the Pegasus and will continue to use them in training and DEFINITELY for any races shorter than 13.1 miles. However, I am now on the hunt for another shoe that'll go the distance with the same lightness and bounce as the Pegasus but with stability to keep my form in check when I reach those "greater fatigue miles".Thanks for listening! Happy running! :-D

These are my third pair of Nike Pegasus 36. This green color is super cute. I’ve tried the new models, but none of them can compare with this one in terms of style and fit. They fit well and comfortable, I felt supported during running. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find this model now, possibly these are my last pair of Pegasus 36.

I have a job working on my feet for most of the day and these are the best. They are comfy and breathable. I don't like shoes that are too tight and these are light and feel great on my foot.

The shoes fit fine very comfortable

These Nike's are the real deal! They have a unique heel style which I didn't notice when I purchased, so I was pleasantly surprised when I took them out of the box (look closely at the ad pics). Normally, I wear an 8W but they didn't carry that size so I ordered a regular 8. When I first put it on, it seemed snug and I thought maybe I should have ordered an 8.5. BUT, after wearing them for about an hour, they conformed to my foot and it was like wearing slippers. I didn't want to take them off. I've worn them several times since then and the fit remains great. Excellent arch support! Think I'm going to get new laces though to make them tieless. Thumbs up!

Are right to size. I wear a 6-6.5 medium shoe. Bought size 7 and fit perfectly. Best walking shoe ever. Really supports the arch and foot bottom. I have worn running shoes to walk forever thinking running shoes would provide more foot support. Recently, i rethought this thinking maybe i should refocus on what i am actually using the shoes for and bought these walking shoes! Huge difference. I can walk farther and longer and the bottom of my feet don't hurt. It's a pleasure to walk through stores now and my knees get a cushion. Great shoes. i bought pink. Have gotten lots of compliments.

I wear these every day! They are true to size, breathable, comfortable, look just like the picture. I will definitely buy this shoe again!

I purchased these shoes awhile back. I started walking this spring rotating through my various athletic shoes for comfort as I have arthritis in my feet and my feet swell and ache after beijf on them all day. I dont have any discomfort after wearing these shoes. I love them!

Son hermosos, se sienten muy cómodos pero me temo que son para corredores/as muy fuertes o con una pisada muy sana. Quedan muy bajitas en el tobillo y éste queda muy libre.

Muy bueno

Chaussures très confortables et esthétiques . A porter sans modérationTrès heureuse de mon choix.

Son perfectas, muy cómodas con mucha y preciosas pero tallas un poquito más, son media talla más que Pegasus 35

Top Schuh in Nike Qualität, angenehme Sohle, nicht zu hart und durch das "structure" hat man einen guten Halt! -Nur sehr schade, dass es diesen Schuh nicht in Goretex Ausführung gibt....
