FAQs
Is the Pegasus Plus 2 suitable for trail running?
These shoes are designed primarily for tarmac and pavement. The outsole is not built with the deep lugs or protection required for uneven or rocky trail terrain.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?
The Nike Pegasus Plus 2 features a 10 mm heel drop, which is standard for traditional running footwear.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual weight.
Can I use custom insoles with these shoes?
Yes, the provided sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert most custom orthotics if needed.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through if you step in puddles or run in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch or midfoot
Adjust the tension on the laces to loosen the midfoot containment band and ensure you are wearing the correct size.
Outer sole shows premature wear on one side
This may indicate a natural gait pattern; consider evaluating your running form or consulting a professional for gait analysis.
Shoes feel tight after a long run
It is normal for feet to swell during exercise. Ensure you have the proper fit, or consider loosening the laces slightly as you progress into longer distances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Pegasus Plus 2, proper care and setup are essential:
- Lacing: Utilize the midfoot containment band by ensuring laces are snug—but not tight—to maintain a secure hold without restricting circulation.
- Break-in Period: While ready to use immediately, a few short walks or light runs will allow the foam to adapt to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt after runs with a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the midsole foam from degrading.
- Rotation: To extend the life of the cushioning, rotate these with another pair of trainers to give the foam 24-48 hours to decompress between runs.
