Just got over 100 miles today in this exact same colourway of the Peg 40. I got on OK with the 39 and TBH the 40 feels pretty much the same so it feels like I just bought the same shoe again but in a colour I liked the look of. Agree it is not very exciting but I have struggled a bit in ultra soft shoes like the Invincible so the fact the Pegs are firmer is sort of helpful to me and way cheaper of course. I think you can get them 25% off right now. Back in my mind there is also an element of doing easy “daily training” runs in standard shoes and then it makes slipping into faster ones on faster days seems more easier.
Yeah I think we all get spoiled by the super stacked shoes , in the 80 and 90’s we got along well with low cushion shoe that were comfortable . I’m still a big fan of the Pegasus for almost every run accept maybe a race👍
I love the Pegasus line. I have other shoes in my rotation but for easy runs with some strides I often go with the Pegasus. It has good grip in the rain. I like its outsole even on some gravel roads. It has never disappointed. I agree that it is not good for any speed work or marathons, but I still enjoy having them in my rotation. Great review Ben!

I got the Pegasus 39’s just over 2 weeks ago, my first investment into more serious shoes… gonna run a half marathon soon, and I’ve just noticed how comfortable they are compared to some of the generic Nike shoes you find at a $50-70 price point. I like them a lot; they’re solid and comfy shoes for me. Will be with me for many runs.
Pegasus for myself is what all other daily trainers are compared against. I typically by the previous year models and they seem to work great in all conditions.
I'm def happy with the consistency in the Pegasus range, knowing that I can pick-up a new version (at the Nike outlet) and don't need to worry that it's going to be totally different. And I'm def a bargain runner, who wants to get that 1000k out of a shoe. Will be popping by the Nike outlet at the weekend, to see what bargains I can get on the 38s and 39s :)
They're not very propulsive or snappy. In fact they have zero propulsion or bounce. Also too firm for me in the forefoot for me for anything over 13km. Just a boring but hard-wearing shoe. The fit and heel lockdown is very good. I got a pair of Hoka mach 5s and was blown away at the difference in responsiveness
Been a big fan of Pegasus since the 37s. Unlike most commenters here I didn’t enjoy the 38s. On my third pair of 39s now and feel nervous to try the 40s as have loved my 39s so much. I used to be loyal to Asics but compared to Nike Pegasus I don’t feel they have durability. I’m an overpronator and change my shoes every 500-600k to avoid injury and I like the reliability of the Pegasus shoe.
Big Peg fan here, since the 36s. My faves have been the 39s - my first pair lasted well over 500 miles. After seeing barely any change in the 40s I got myself another pair of 39s, at a much reduced price.
My saucony ride 15s do the same job and I got them for about £60 discounted. At first not a fan but I've really started to get used to them. Great fit and looks like they'll last.
Got the 38 for the cool look and for dressing with work clothes, and discovered they are the most comfortable shoes for walking I've ever owned. Feet never gets tired! My go to for holiday shoe now. Versatile, robust and comfy. Will replace with another Peg when this one dies. But not the same for running, they are a dog to run in.. much prefer my Asics novablast/glideride, Hoka Mach, Puma Deviate, NB Rebel for a lot more pop and speed.
I find the New Balance Propel v4 better cheaper and the ride is way more enjoyable. The price is way to high when you see the price you can find some Reebok Energy 4 and Puma velocity nitro 2
I had 5 pairs of the 34s and loved them. Went on to multiple other brands since but I do have a pair of 40s headed my way and I'm excited to try them out. Thanks for the video they cant get here fast enough!
The one thing I love about the Pegasus that is disappointingly rare in most training shoes is the well-designed outsole. It lets you dip on to some unpaved trails without feeling like you're taking your life in your hands if there's a damp patch. It's my standard for outsoles and it's ridiculous how few training shoes measure up to it (*cough* non-TR Novablast). It doesn't bother me if the Pegasus is heavier than other shoes and not as springy. No one's giving out medals for going fast on training runs, so speed just isn't important. The most important quality of a training shoe is that it is comfortable to run in and the Pegasus fits that bill for me.
Yes agree with you.. it's a quality outsole, durable and grippy. As Owen says here the Puma shoes are very good too.. but you don't see many offerings as it does add weight.
I really enjoyed my 38's, 39's were average and I was a bit disappointed... I recently got the 37's at the Nike factory outlet for like $50... interested to see what they are like to run in. Not sure I'll continue in the pegasus line if I'm honest.
Nike definitely have to work on their daily trainers, other companies have a ton better trainers. I think the peg is pretty versatile and comfortable, but it's not the best for like road runs, maybe for daily walking and when you go on trials/forest! :)
I have probably ten pairs at the moment of all versions. I keep the older ones for speedwork because they are lighter, but I’m becoming more aware that they are not helping my aging body on the long Sunday runs. Ben said it. There’s just no response. I buy them because I can count on them always being the same.
I never believed in soo called youtube "shoe reviewer" - the shoes are very much subjective to your running style n leg structure. Best to try n see for yourself
I bought a pair of Peg 39s last winter and used them to train for a couple 10ks. When I was running 20-25 mpw, the Peg 39 felt fine to me. The step in comfort was really nice and I loved the upper, but I wasn't a big fan of the air pods, which I could 'feel' under my forefoot. When I started training for a half marathon and needed to safely build mileage to ~40mpw, I opted for a much more fun max cushion shoe plus a speed/tempo shoe. Love the channel Ben.
I have two pairs of the 39s and am a pretty big fan. They’re great everyday shoes for running around town, they’re not spectacular at anything but I enjoy the ride and I think they have a sharp, classic look and profile.
August 2024.. It's HALF the cost of a 41.... Need i; say more??😁👍 Get a pair for casual wear... Even training.. At the end of the day it's just a short.. Won't fix your bad form bad stamina rtc
I have the 39 and its a dull ride, Ok for easy paces. Just bought a used pair of the Infinity React 1. Its way better, more cushioning and better for up-tempo work
i found the pegasus 5 years ago. and i cant get enough. ive wore them at 300 pounds all the way to 220 pounds and damn these shoes are the best. I bought a long side of this some hokka shoes. and let me tell you each one of those weighs like 1 pound, im not tyring to add any more weight to my self. Hands down the best non trail shoes. please let me know if you know or anynone of better.
I was hoping it was going to be improvement but saw the same foam and lost interest in it. On the look out for a new shoe that has some pop in it but not a carbon. One you can do a race (not a goal race) in but also has some life in it. Was thinking new balance rebel but reports life isn’t great. Using the 1080 currently something with gives you that little more.
Just bought these on sale for my wife and I, we are barely getting into running and want something reliable that can withstand many scenarios. Hopefully these will last me 5 months and I can get some Alphaflys for my first marathon in October! Great channel btw ❤
@@ReelSocialize mines are still holding on! Lol I alternate them with another pair of adidas but they are okay so far. I like the grip on the road. The toe box does feel like its getting looser though
Maybe it was you? Not sure how you can know it's the shoe. When I used to run 10k's, my time could fluctuate plus or minus 2mins easily depending on weather or simply how I was feeling, morning vs afternoon, winter vs summer. Longer distances even more so.
Could not agree with your assessment more. I had the 39's. Dull, lifeless, like running directly on concrete. Sold them after 50 miles. The Puma Velocity Nitro 2 is such a far superior shoe and you can get it for £50 at start fitness. No brainer.
I just tried the Peg 40 and they feel really nice. Went just about 7 miles with no issues. They will be in my rotation for sure. Along with the Peg GTX trails. Just try them yourself and stop listening to useless youtuber nonsense. ;)
It's not nonsense lol. I have the 40s too and enjoy them. But before buying everyone should know to watch multiple reviews to gain different perspectives. He even said if you like the pegasus you will like it, so he acknowledges that some people may like it, it's all personal preference.
Hi there! Bought a pair of Pegasus 39 for 85€ (93$/74£) and run the marathon in them. Got few injuries, but at least had finished. Can you suggest something neutral & bouncy for 10 - 20 km runs?
@@viktorisakov9698 that's a totally different kind of running shoe. Better is a personal thing. Kinvara is light and low stack. Pegasus is a much more durable shoe. I don't think the Pegasus is a great shoe by any stretch of the imagination but for the price, durability and general comfort. They are hard to beat.
@@elophostia not saying you can’t run a marathon in the peg 39. But there are better shoes out there in the same price range that would be better for a 26.2mi run. The peg 39 is just a tried a true every day boring but reliable running shoe. I couldn’t see myself choosing these for anything more than a 10k. I had to force myself to run in them 3 days ago. It wasn’t horrible or bad, they’re just so…. Boring. Know what I mean? Kinda like a cup noodle when you’re hungry
I love them! Unfortunately the cushioning doesnt translate as well to the wide fit . The regular fit feel very bouncy for me, but wide fit just feels...flat??
I was absolutely in love with the pegasus turbo version 1 and had 3 Asics Novablasts vers 1. Turbo isn't produced anymore, Novablast 3 gives me ankle blisters - so I'm looking for a new daily trainer... I don't think the Pegasus will be springy enough for me. Thanks for your review!
I had the 38s I don’t really use them anymore not enough padding for a daily trainer for me. You can get better shoes for the same money example ASICS NovaBlast 3
I have a pair of Peg 35 with close to 1000 km, and it’s still going strong. I got it from an outlet for a very affordable price, and while I do think it’s a very solid shoe, I just don’t plan to get an updated version. Like you said, it’s a very boring shoe that is in dire need of some innovation.
I prefer the Adidas Boston 10`s to the Pegasus range. Saying that, neither of them are particularly exciting, but they do the job for everyday running.
Have had the 37 and the 38. I didn't like the feel of the pods in the shoe at all, and then one day after about 6 months (of not much wear) one of the pods burst! Tried (unsuccessfully) to get my money back and just had to stick them in the bin !
I know others have said it, but i was expecting the 40 to be the time when they seriously decided to go out on a limb and update it in an exhilarating way. Maybe finally use Zoom X as a midsole?!!! But no. Instead they just whacked out a mild upper update, held out their hand and asked for 150 notes in return.
The Pegasus turbo already has zoom x so they have already made the shoe you are waiting for. You can get them for $90 here in the U.S. at running warehouse.
Had the Pegasus 32 till 38 and then finally gave up. So, so boring. Dreaded going out for a run in them in the end. I bought the Asics Novablast 3 late last year and use them now for easy runs a couple of times a week. 600 kilometres so far and really enjoy them: lots of comfort, versatility and fun! 😊
I ran about 50 miles in the 39s and struggled to keep a good pace. It felt like work. Went to the novablast 3's and it was a world of difference. I don't think I can go back to the nikes
I was a bog fan of the pegasus line, until I was a 6 min /km runner, now trying my wings around 4:30 it is holding me back, as you said, it is slow. What could be a good, durable, well-priced but faster alternative for me?
It's the only running shoe out of the 6 different running shoes I have bought in the last 2 years that I dont really like. As you say it just feels dull compared to most shoes out there now. I bought some for my wife too at the same time and she doesnt like them much either.
First time buying a proper running shoe since I was in the high school track team and they are amazing for standing all day at work! Now I can finally do math without worrying about the pain in my legs! 🙂
Thanks for the review Ben. In terms of your comment about the Pegasus 40 lacking any noteworthy innovation, is there any particular running shoe out there that you think has acheived this over the last few years?
Pretty much everyone else has a solid daily shoe, using some engaging responsive foam in them.. but Nike stick with their react foam which is so old now and behind the times.. Asics Novablast 3, Hoka Mach 5, Puma Velocity Nitro are much better shoes that have come in recently and really make people notice them!
Just bought a pair. I loved my 38's and used them into oblivion, more than 3M steps in those, and I still use them for jump rope. The 41's just got released and I think they're pretty ugly.
Thanks for the Video Ben and for struggling through the likes but the dislikes are really all we need to listen to for this one. Another lazy boring don’t care about the everyday runner offering from Nike. Buy the Reebok energy float ride 5 instead already discounted down to £60ish 100% better shoe.
Nike being very lazy! I put 500+ miles into my 39's on easy and long run days but would like bit more innovation. Still have two old pairs of the 32's and they were a better shoe than 39
Ben, rather than selling on eBay you should return them to Nike. Nike’s return policy “We design our shoes and gear to help you perform at peak level, so if they're not working exactly right for you, we've got you covered. We give you 30 days to take your Nike purchases for a trial run, confidently knowing you can return items (some exceptions apply) for any reason within those 30 days. “ For your reviews do a trial run within 39 days and if they aren’t going into your rotation return them to Nike. Well done to Nike for this policy
Is the tongue really short? My Peg 38 has ok tongue length. And where is yours made? Just bought this off sale, the all-black, made in indonesia. And i’m disappointed, the left tongue seems shorter than the right. Also with the 38 as soon as i wear it, i feel it hugging my feet right away even when not laced up. With this 40, i don’t get that nice feel right away, and the heel part of the upper material, it seems stiff. Lacing up the 38 would give a nice snug fit, this one doesn’t. And the left shoe, something does not feel right.
Pegasus is like iphone . They don’t change that much to the pegasus line up as they know people would still buy the shoe . Pegasus was never a bad shoe it is just people expect more from Nike to improve the pegasus. I have never purchase any pegasus show before.
Thanks for the review. Nike still using old mid form, adding weight and removal of flywire is a mistake. Also the design looks so boring. I will move to buy Novablast 3 for a tryout as heard good reviews of much lighter shoe and much exciting ride .
for me the outsole didn’t last 1000k, at400-500k its treads are mostly gone. and i relegated the shoe to walking and hiking at 550k. im median weight with low cadence btw
Someone help me out here. I have always worn these kinds of trainers. However after a big injury ACL KNEE I am doing rehab are these kind of shoes good to use through excercise etc or should I get a flat shoe like converse ? Always hear the bounce shoes like this are no good. These would be my shoes to wear everywhere also
Just got over 100 miles today in this exact same colourway of the Peg 40. I got on OK with the 39 and TBH the 40 feels pretty much the same so it feels like I just bought the same shoe again but in a colour I liked the look of. Agree it is not very exciting but I have struggled a bit in ultra soft shoes like the Invincible so the fact the Pegs are firmer is sort of helpful to me and way cheaper of course. I think you can get them 25% off right now. Back in my mind there is also an element of doing easy “daily training” runs in standard shoes and then it makes slipping into faster ones on faster days seems more easier.

If it works for you then defiantly try and find some of the 38 or 39 on sale!
40 is my first Pegasus and love it. Could feel the bounce if you run hard/speed.
Way better than my Structure and Air Ghost Racer.
How is the traction with the 40s?
They're not very propulsive or snappy. In fact they have zero propulsion or bounce. Also too firm for me in the forefoot for me for anything over 13km.
Just a boring but hard-wearing shoe. The fit and heel lockdown is very good.
I got a pair of Hoka mach 5s and was blown away at the difference in responsiveness
Similar story here, Pegasus felt super flat with zero bounce then I got the Clifton 9s…

actually you after about 100 km of wear, the 'feel' disappears.
Ok for a half marathon?
Yes
Saw a guy at Newport marathon last month running in Pegasus 39. Came home in 2:42 🤯
At the end of the day, the runner still matters more than the shoes he wears ;)

Have the 39. Was fine for a long time. Nowadays get tintling feeling in my left food after 12k or so.
Guess it's probably me though 😋
Just bought the pegasus 39 in a green Ekiden colourway for £55 in an outlet Nike store😊

Looks good and relatively cheap but otherwise React foam still a bit dead
Pegasus line has been boring for awhile. Needs an update
I have this one. As a beginner I’m satisfied with the performance.

Shaved a full minute off my 10K time with the TriNoosa15 compared to this shoe. Nike needs to step up its affordable shoe game.........
Maybe it was you? Not sure how you can know it's the shoe.
When I used to run 10k's, my time could fluctuate plus or minus 2mins easily depending on weather or simply how I was feeling, morning vs afternoon, winter vs summer. Longer distances even more so.
Got this from academy’s sale and clearance for $49 and tbh I think thats the only reason I even considered it.
I just got the 40’s today at a Nike outlet store for £60 so a no brainer really.
Got the 35s and 38s but looking to get something faster maybe the vapourfly or streakfly
great vid!
Can there be such a thing as a soft brick? Apparently Nike keeps trying with the Pegasus.
I’m here for the Lofi girl in the background!

I still haven’t found a replacement for the turbo 35s and turbo 2s. Those were my all time favorite trainers
@@jaceypoo350mine too. I tried the next natures but they just aren’t the same :(. Hopefully they come out with a Turbo 3.
Love my brooks glycerin but maybe I’ll consider Nike next time 🤔 great video 👍 thanks Ben 😊
I had the 38s I don’t really use them anymore not enough padding for a daily trainer for me. You can get better shoes for the same money example ASICS NovaBlast 3
yes the novablast 3 is a much more engaging shoe to run in!
I love your reviews Ben
I have a pair of Peg 35 with close to 1000 km, and it’s still going strong. I got it from an outlet for a very affordable price, and while I do think it’s a very solid shoe, I just don’t plan to get an updated version. Like you said, it’s a very boring shoe that is in dire need of some innovation.
Pegasus means durability
I prefer the Adidas Boston 10`s to the Pegasus range. Saying that, neither of them are particularly exciting, but they do the job for everyday running.
Yes, they get the job done.. just not very fun as you say!
Have had the 37 and the 38. I didn't like the feel of the pods in the shoe at all, and then one day after about 6 months (of not much wear) one of the pods burst! Tried (unsuccessfully) to get my money back and just had to stick them in the bin !
Unless you get them from Nike online direct then most retailers are unlikely to help.
I know others have said it, but i was expecting the 40 to be the time when they seriously decided to go out on a limb and update it in an exhilarating way. Maybe finally use Zoom X as a midsole?!!!
But no. Instead they just whacked out a mild upper update, held out their hand and asked for 150 notes in return.
The Pegasus turbo already has zoom x so they have already made the shoe you are waiting for. You can get them for $90 here in the U.S. at running warehouse.
£115 is so cheap these days!
I'm still waiting for the Turbo 3s, an update to the greatest all-round running shoe I've ever had.
Had the Pegasus 32 till 38 and then finally gave up. So, so boring. Dreaded going out for a run in them in the end. I bought the Asics Novablast 3 late last year and use them now for easy runs a couple of times a week. 600 kilometres so far and really enjoy them: lots of comfort, versatility and fun! 😊
I was like... Thats what women say... Looked at the profile yup woman... Shoe is okay you got bored nothing to do with the shoe
I ran about 50 miles in the 39s and struggled to keep a good pace. It felt like work. Went to the novablast 3's and it was a world of difference. I don't think I can go back to the nikes
Much better running shoe for sure!
Great review, Ben! When my Peg 39's are dead I think it's time to look at something else for a daily trainer. What would you recommend checking out?
Hoka Mach 5, Asics Novablast 3, Puma Velocity Nitro.
Are you watching Tom & Jerry back there?
haha.. it's a UA-cam channel called lofi girl
HEYRRROOOEEEBAAAADEEEE 😂
I was a bog fan of the pegasus line, until I was a 6 min /km runner, now trying my wings around 4:30 it is holding me back, as you said, it is slow. What could be a good, durable, well-priced but faster alternative for me?
Asics Novablast 3 or Hoka Mach 5
@@BenParkes Thanks Ben!
It's the only running shoe out of the 6 different running shoes I have bought in the last 2 years that I dont really like. As you say it just feels dull compared to most shoes out there now. I bought some for my wife too at the same time and she doesnt like them much either.
Sorry nike...
No more pegsus again for me....
1 cm heel drop and loss air pocket feel after 200 km is the reason...🙏
First time buying a proper running shoe since I was in the high school track team and they are amazing for standing all day at work! Now I can finally do math without worrying about the pain in my legs! 🙂
I am a beginner in running, weigh 98 kilos and bought the Pegasus 38. I hope it is not a bad investment, after that I will test the Asics Gel Nimbus.
Just hit the 900km of my 37 pegasus. Probably I will continue with the 40s..
Thanks for the review Ben. In terms of your comment about the Pegasus 40 lacking any noteworthy innovation, is there any particular running shoe out there that you think has acheived this over the last few years?
Pretty much everyone else has a solid daily shoe, using some engaging responsive foam in them.. but Nike stick with their react foam which is so old now and behind the times.. Asics Novablast 3, Hoka Mach 5, Puma Velocity Nitro are much better shoes that have come in recently and really make people notice them!
I really like what Puma have been doing over the last couple of years! I got myself a pair of Deviate Nitro Elites and I love them!
Just picked these up for £85. Looking forward to giving them a blast as my normal everyday shoe. Good review though Ben.
Just bought a pair. I loved my 38's and used them into oblivion, more than 3M steps in those, and I still use them for jump rope. The 41's just got released and I think they're pretty ugly.
Thanks for the Video Ben and for struggling through the likes but the dislikes are really all we need to listen to for this one. Another lazy boring don’t care about the everyday runner offering from Nike.
Buy the Reebok energy float ride 5 instead already discounted down to £60ish 100% better shoe.
Running through all that water in white shoes hurts my soul 😅
Nike being very lazy! I put 500+ miles into my 39's on easy and long run days but would like bit more innovation. Still have two old pairs of the 32's and they were a better shoe than 39
Got the multi coloured pair for 29% off. Then Nike gave me a free £20 gift card….
So ended up paying £60… amazing.
still my favourite running shoe because it feels like im walking on my foots dynamics rather then the shoes. And it has ground contact.
I wonder what has happened to Nike? Love the Alphafly and Vaporfly. Brilliant. Not much else in their lineup. At all.
Ben, rather than selling on eBay you should return them to Nike.
Nike’s return policy “We design our shoes and gear to help you perform at peak level, so if they're not working exactly right for you, we've got you covered. We give you 30 days to take your Nike purchases for a trial run, confidently knowing you can return items (some exceptions apply) for any reason within those 30 days. “
For your reviews do a trial run within 39 days and if they aren’t going into your rotation return them to Nike. Well done to Nike for this policy
Is the tongue really short? My Peg 38 has ok tongue length. And where is yours made? Just bought this off sale, the all-black, made in indonesia. And i’m disappointed, the left tongue seems shorter than the right. Also with the 38 as soon as i wear it, i feel it hugging my feet right away even when not laced up. With this 40, i don’t get that nice feel right away, and the heel part of the upper material, it seems stiff. Lacing up the 38 would give a nice snug fit, this one doesn’t. And the left shoe, something does not feel right.
Got them on sale and they're lovely. But I just run a 5k and 10k weekly purely for my cardio, in the gym I only lift and wear my good old Vans.
Pegasus is like iphone . They don’t change that much to the pegasus line up as they know people would still buy the shoe . Pegasus was never a bad shoe it is just people expect more from Nike to improve the pegasus.
I have never purchase any pegasus show before.
Thanks for the review. Nike still using old mid form, adding weight and removal of flywire is a mistake. Also the design looks so boring. I will move to buy Novablast 3 for a tryout as heard good reviews of much lighter shoe and much exciting ride .
Which best shoe daily 5km India road running nike invincible3 Vs adidas adizero sl Vs nike pegasus 40
for me the outsole didn’t last 1000k, at400-500k its treads are mostly gone. and i relegated the shoe to walking and hiking at 550k. im median weight with low cadence btw
Someone help me out here. I have always worn these kinds of trainers. However after a big injury ACL KNEE I am doing rehab are these kind of shoes good to use through excercise etc or should I get a flat shoe like converse ? Always hear the bounce shoes like this are no good. These would be my shoes to wear everywhere also
Pegasus and Ultraboost are year after year just updating the number at the name! 😔They become the shoes my mom would buy! 😂😂😂
Ben. where's my first time buyer discount code.... I never receive it !!!!!!
The underside of my feet starts to burn after 2 km when using this shoe, anyone having similar experiences?
