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.

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.
