As someone in my 30s who runs 4–5 times a week, these shoes hit the sweet spot. Snug but not tight. Great support around the heel and midfoot, and just enough cushioning without feeling bulky. No break-in period needed they are comfy right out of the box. The colorways are modern but still wearable with everyday gear. Love the subtle reflective accents for early runs and the small embossed wing for a cute detail. Breathable mesh upper keeps my feet cool, even on hot runs. It’s lightweight and doesn’t trap moisture. I loved the smooth ride and how responsive they felt on both short sprints and long runs. It feels like they push back just enough to keep me going. The tongue tends to shift a little on longer runs. It’s not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. Handles pavement and light trails easily. Solid grip, stable landings, and zero foot fatigue after miles. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable, all-around running shoe that works hard without screaming for attention or breaking the bank. This is it!!

These shoes are everything you would expect and more coming from the higher price tag. For starters, while I did not weigh them, I can confidently tell you that the Pegasus Plus is noticably lighter than the 51. This is likely due to the cushioning setup and the Flyknit upper. With that in mind, the upper is extremely breathable, which prevented me from having a lot of sweat trapped in the shoe after long runs. The tongue was also not a bother to my foot during runs and walks. As for the midsole, the full length Zoom-X foam is extremely bouncy and responsive. While they do not feel quite like carbon plate shoes, they feel tremendously faster than many of my other daily trainers. They make running a 5k much more comfortable and allowed me to shave a few seconds off of my typical time. Even for low intensity walks, the midsole was extremely cushy and made walking effortless. With this squishiness though, the shoes are not the most stable. They are great in that respect for running and walking, but doing plyometric exercises like jumping seemed to highlight some instability. In terms of sizing, the Pegasus Plus fits true to size, although, please note the shoe fits narrower than most neutral shoes I've used. I by no means have a wide foot, but these shoes fit very snug in the toe box and on the sides. Overall, I am a big fan of this installation of the Nike Pegasus line and I highly recommend them to someone who is looking to pay the extra money for a higher quality, more performance based pair of runners.

Wow!!! When I opened the box I was beyond excited to see how bright these shoes were!! Perfect summer running shoes, they are so fun and bright that I am excited to put them on to go for a run on the tread. These shoes are extremely comfortable and super light weight with just enough cushion for my landing. I’ve owned other Pegasus running shoes and they were a little odd fitting where the laces started but not these and I believe that’s because of the flyknit material. Thanks to flyknit I won’t have to break these in, they fit like a glove! This is now my all time favorite running shoe!
