What Reviewers Say
Praised for exceptional cushioning and lightweight comfort, these shoes deliver a responsive, bouncy feel that works well for running, walking, and all-day wear. The updated wider toe box accommodates various foot shapes, though fit runs slightly snug initially and may require a brief break-in. Fit is generally true to size, with occasional feedback suggesting sizing up for a roomier feel. The breathable mesh upper and sleek design transition easily from workouts to casual wear.

FAQ (9)
Who is the Pegasus 42 best suited for?
The Pegasus 42 is best suited for runners who want one shoe that can do it all. Built for everyday road running, it balances responsiveness with comfort and versatility.
What cushioning technology does the Pegasus 42 use?
The Pegasus 42 pairs ReactX foam with a curved, full-length Air Zoom unit for soft landings, smooth transitions and a ride that feels responsive and energized.
What is ReactX foam?
ReactX foam is a high-performance foam designed to feel soft, durable and 13% more responsive than previous React technology. It compresses on impact, rebounds quickly and helps keep the ride feeling energized underfoot.
How does the Pegasus 42 compare to earlier Pegasus models?
The Pegasus 42 delivers a smoother, more energized ride than the Pegasus 41 thanks to its curved, full-length Air Zoom unit and responsive ReactX foam. We also updated the fit, so there’s more room at the toes and forefoot compared to the 41.
How does the Pegasus 42 fit compare to earlier Pegasus models?
We made the Pegasus 42 using a different last, also known as a foot-shaped form, than the Pegasus 41. This updated last allows for more room in the forefoot and toe box, helping the Pegasus 42 feel more accommodating while still offering a secure fit through the midfoot.
How versatile is the Pegasus 42 across different run types and paces?
Responsive cushioning in the Pegasus 42 helps energize every run, from easy miles to daily training.
How does the Pegasus 42 create a more propulsive feel at toe-off?
We sculpted our full-length Air Zoom unit to give it a slight curve. This helps create a springy, forward-moving sensation at toe-off. We also increased the curve of the toe box compared to the Pegasus 41, which allows for greater toe spring.
How breathable is the Pegasus 42 upper?
Lightweight mesh helps air circulate, creating a cool, comfortable feel when runs heat up or the miles start to stack.
How durable is the Pegasus 42 for consistent road use?
High-abrasion rubber on the outsole helps the Pegasus 42 deliver durable traction designed to withstand daily road running.
