On the website Nike notes that these have a wider toe box than previous models, but if that’s true, I didn’t notice it. The collar of this sneaker (the part that hugs your Achilles heel) is nicely cushioned, so I didn’t have to worry about any blisters or chafing. There’s a smooth, breathable mesh upper that also provided a cooling sensation as I ran-meaning these will be great for logging summer miles. It’s a feeling that encouraged me to run faster (and maybe a little too hot out of the gate during each testing run). There’s a nice bounciness to the midfoot and a breezy, energetic feel each time you push off your step. Though these sneakers are not specifically intended for cross-training, I also wore them for a few bodyweight workouts just to see how they’d hold up in a gym setting. To test this shoe for the 2021 SELF Certified Sneaker Awards, I followed the criteria set by our experts, and then ran in these shoes for three to five miles a few times per week, for about a month. This shoe ticks a lot of boxes and feels like the perfect middle ground between a cushioned training shoe and a speedy racing shoe. The workhorse trainer-which was first introduced in 1983-continues to be a shoe that any runner, at any level, can use and love. It’s on those tough days that I’m especially thankful for shoes like the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38. Blame it on dehydration, lack of sleep, muscle soreness from another workout, or just having a bad day-sometimes running still feels really challenging. I’ve considered myself a runner for well over a decade now, but that doesn’t mean that every run is a fun-filled jaunt around my neighborhood. You can see the rest of our award winners here. Aside from that, the Pegasus 38 FlyEase is an incrediby fun shoe to run in, and blends comfort and performance perfectly.This Nike Pegasus 38 review is part of our 2021 SELF Certified Sneaker Awards, where the shoe won Best Marathon Training Sneaker.
There are definitely a few concerns that I have about how well that will work, but time will tell. The Nike Pegasus 38 FlyEase brings all the benefits of the base Peg38s to a more accessible product. It’s one of the most energetic shoes I’ve tested. The Peg 38 FlyEase is still energetic and responsiveĪ mixture of Nike React Foam, the profile of the midsole, and the Zoom Unit air pocket in the forefoot, running in the Pegasus 38 FlyEase is a really really fun experience. With a nice amount of arch support and cushioning, the Pegasus 38 FlyEase absorbs a lot of the impact on runs. With a durometer (hardness) of 19.5HA at room temperature, that React Foam is super-soft compared to the average (26.9N). Nike’s React midsole has always been fantastically comfortable and it’s no different here. The Nike Pegasus 38 FlyEase is super comfyĪs I said, the fit is really comfortable once you’re n the shoe, especially underfoot. Once in I find the snug fit actually to be incredibly comfortable, but I can’t overlook this problem for putting it on. You can totally loosen the lacing and that makes it easier, but I would have thought Nike could have foreseen this being an issue.

This makes it difficult to close the zip if you have slightly wider feet, which is ironic. The base Pegasus 38 was narrow and the same is true for the FlyEase version. Heavier shoes are more energy-draining than carrying the same extra weight, but thanks to the design and shape of the midsole, I hardly noticed the extra grams.Ī bit narrow, which makes it difficult to close It’s not the lightest, but that’s not a problemĬoming in at 10.3oz (291g) the Pegasus 38 FlyEase isn’t race-ready weight and comes in a bit above the average. Check out the Air Zoom Tempo Next% FlyEaseif you want a true race shoe. You’re expecting this to be an ultra-lightweight race-day shoe.
Nikes still tend to run a bit narrow in my opinion, and although the Peg 38 is wider than past iterations it’s still not an excessively roomy shoe. The Peg 38 FlyEase mixes a bunch of Nike tech to create a well-cushioned shoe that’s got a great amount of energy return so it can be great for speed work and longer training runs alike.
