FAQs

How does the Pegasus 42 differ from the 41?

The 42 model introduces a full-length Air Zoom unit, whereas the 41 used separate units, and features a new silhouette with more toe spring.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The Nike Pegasus 42 has a standard 10mm heel-to-toe drop.

Is this shoe suitable for trail running?

The Pegasus 42 is specifically engineered for everyday road runs and does not offer the traction or stability required for technical trail terrain.

How much do the shoes weigh?

A women's size 6 shoe weighs approximately 243g.

Can I use custom insoles with this trainer?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort in the arch after long runs

Ensure your lacing is not too tight; the Pegasus 42 has a redesigned fit that may require a looser lace tension than older models.

Visible dirt on the mesh upper

Use a soft, damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent, gently patting the fabric rather than scrubbing it to preserve the material fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return from the full-length Air Zoom unit
  • Roomier toe box for increased comfort
  • Lightweight design suitable for daily mileage
  • Smooth transition thanks to improved toe spring

Cons

  • Updated fit may require an adjustment period for loyalists of older models
  • Specific to road running, not intended for technical trails
  • Only available in specific size increments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure you verify your UK sizing before purchase, as the Pegasus 42 features an updated silhouette. For care, keep your trainers away from direct heat sources to prevent the foam from degrading prematurely. If they become wet, stuff the insides with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap; avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity of the Air Zoom unit.
