Even with a heel lift, the shoe fits as my 9s do. Contrary, I wear a men’s size 9 (US) without exception. I read another review where the writer indicated that the shoes fit small. Various sizes will obviously weigh different from each other and the heel to toe drop can be affected.
I have worn the shoe on asphalt, concrete, gravel and soft trail as well as rough, rocky, rooted and somewhat nasty vertical up and down. I pronate enough that by far the greatest wear is on the outside edge, so much so, that the rest of the sole will appear unscathed, when it is time to toss the shoe into the trash. Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38, the same colour and model tested, here.Īfter 200kms, I often begin to see some light wear on the outside of the sole, mid-foot. I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 is well made and will last as long as just about any shoe on the market under typical road, trail and track running conditions and usage. And I still hear it during the commercials loud and clear - the reviewers take the responsibility of quality and reliability and place it tidily right back onto the manufacturer’s docket. The auto industry reviewers nipped the issue in the bud by referring to “quality” or “reliability” as “initial quality” or “initial reliability.”Īs a writer, who also copy edits for other brands, I heard the phrase “initial quality” and immediately bristled at it.
Should a shoe be given to reviewers six months in advance of the release to accurately report the mileages that the model will withstand, say after 300 miles (500kms)? That is a high risk/high reward scenario to engage in. The mind wanders over to the question of longevity when testing shoes. They should always be improving, right to fulfil the manifest destiny? There is also a 38 Flyease model with the no-tie lacing system, not sampled here. Those familiar with the 36 and the 37, will find the refinements to the 38 borrows from both predecessors as well as incorporates changes in line with typical evolutionary advancements. The 38s, in addition to all regular training, happen to be useful for road time trialling, tempo runs, progression runs and even not-too-serious racing from 5km to the half-marathon. As technology has advanced so much over the past few years, it turns out that these cushioned shoes are not your old heavy and clunky trainers (remember that ancient history?). The 38 at $120 to $160 (CDN/USD) is more than fair value for the trainer. Regardless, they have a winner here in the Air Zoom Pegasus 38. Nike of course is a Greek goddess who personified victory the giant corporation’s manifest destiny, if you will. In keeping with Greek mythology, Nike’s Pegasus model of shoe is named after the white-winged horse, the alleged son of Poseidon and Medusa. © Copyright – 2021 – Athletics Illustrated
