FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the Pegasus 42 is designed with responsive cushioning and energy return features, making it well-suited for track activities and youth distance running.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap is the best way to maintain the structural integrity of the foam and Air unit.
What is the difference between this and previous Pegasus models?
The Pegasus 42 features an updated silhouette with targeted cushioning and an improved toe-off design to provide better energy return compared to earlier versions.
Are these trainers true to size?
Nike trainers generally follow standard sizing; however, it is recommended to leave a small amount of space in the toe box for comfort during physical activity.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Pegasus 42 uses a breathable mesh upper that allows air to flow through; they will not keep feet dry in wet or rainy conditions.
What age group is this shoe intended for?
This model is designed specifically for children, focusing on supportive cushioning suitable for their growing feet and high energy levels.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the instep
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets and adjust the tongue for better distribution of pressure.
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft brush and lukewarm water with mild detergent to gently scrub the affected area, then air dry.
Pros and Cons

- Light-colored mesh may show dirt easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is essential for the Pegasus 42 to perform correctly. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly but not so much that they restrict blood flow. To maintain the shoes, avoid putting them in the washing machine, as this can damage the foam and the Air unit. Instead, spot clean the mesh upper with a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or degrading.
