Product Information
Full details
The Nike Pegasus 42 trainers are designed for active kids who need reliable, bouncy support for both athletic training and daily play. Featuring signature Air Zoom technology, these shoes provide a responsive feel that helps with a smooth toe-off during running; however, users should note that the mesh-focused construction is optimized for performance and breathability rather than heavy-duty wet-weather protection.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Pegasus 42 is designed for everyday play, practice, and short-to-moderate running, offering excellent support for kids on the move.
How do I determine the right size?
The Nike Pegasus 42 follows standard UK children's sizing; it is recommended to leave about a thumb's width of space at the toe for optimal comfort.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the specialized foam and Air Zoom unit. Hand cleaning is best.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, this model is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for both boys and girls.
What is the primary benefit of the Air Zoom unit?
The Air Zoom unit provides a responsive, springy feel that helps reduce impact stress on the joints and improves efficiency during running.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the top of the foot
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-thread to ensure even tension across the eyelets.
The mesh upper is showing signs of dirt
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild mixture of water and gentle detergent applied with a soft sponge.
Foot slipping during high-intensity activity
Check that the heel is properly seated in the back of the shoe and use a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Pegasus 42 trainers maintain their performance, follow these care steps:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are tightened to provide a secure lockdown across the midfoot without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud or dirt from the outsole. Wipe the upper mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them fully in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them directly on radiators or in a tumble dryer, as heat can deform the foam and damage the adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the colors and the integrity of the materials.
