FAQs
Are these suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the cushioning and energy return are designed to handle the high-mileage demands of marathon training on road surfaces.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While intended for running, the stable base makes them suitable for light gym use, though they are not designed for heavy weightlifting.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The Pegasus 42 features an adaptive fit; it is recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through, so they are not recommended for heavy rain.
How often should I replace them?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points during runs
Try adjusting your lacing pattern to relieve tension over the top of the foot while maintaining a secure heel lock.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the bottom of the shoes to remove debris and oils, which can accumulate and reduce grip on smooth surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Pegasus 42 trainers last throughout your training cycle, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Wear the shoes with your preferred running socks to test the volume and arch support before your first long run.
- Cleaning: Avoid submerging the trainers in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation.
- Rotation: Allow the foam to recover its shape by rotating your shoes if you run daily. This prevents the midsole from compressing permanently.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and structural integrity of the mesh upper.
