Customer Reviews Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35

I got these in the rose color and they are so cute! I really wanted to like them but they didn’t have much arch support and didn’t feel cushioned enough. They also ran about one size too small. They may be good for someone with a lower arch who is looking for an adorable lightweight shoe. Unfortunately I am returning them.

I am really disappointed that Nike has changed the Pegasus so that the tongue is completely sewn in on both sides. This wasn't noted in the description. I have high arches and have worn the Pegasus for years, but with the sewn-in tongue, it is completely unadjustable and very tight. I wear orthotics and take out the Nike insole. Previous years' Pegasus have always fit well. Very, very disappointed!

I wanted to like these. I was hopeful that the Pegasus35 would be my go-to running shoe. But they just didn’t cut it. As others have commented, it was too narrow, and felt entirely unsupportive for running. I would say you could possibly make these walking shoes, but I don’t see them as good running shoes.

I found these shoes were too narrow in the toe area. The arch was too high for my foot. The tongue was long compared to other Nikes I have owned. I returned them and went with the Nike Tanjun.

My mom and I have the same size feet, usually a size 8 but a size 8.5 in Nikes. We loved the old Pegasus and bought so many pairs. The Pegasus 35 fits way differently. The 8.5 was too small and the 9 was too big where the back flips off a little when you walk. Returned them.

I have been wearing these since the 33. Sadly these are going back due to being WAY too tight, narrow, just smaller overall!

The arch in this shoes felt as if it went all the way across the middle, not just the arch area. Very weird as if I could rock back and forth. I haven't work NIke's for years, I guess I know why. Back to Brooks.

I loved these shoes at first. I stand on my feet at work all day and I have a knee replacement so comfort and support are key. At first they were amazing. And then six months after wearing them they wore out. After six months these really expensive shoes no longer were worth it.

These will do. Ive had much much better. So I’m disappointed but like the style. Having the tongue sown in makes it very hard to put shoe on. Also the shoelaces enclosed are very short.

Very small and tight - will need to size up by at least half, but possibly full size. I have other Nike Air styles that have never been a tight fit.

I’ve been buying the Nike Pegasus for years!!! I’ve probably had at least 15 pair. These are too narrow. They feel tight and uncomfortable. I don’t love the pointed heel either. So sad. I was going to try another pair just to see if i got a bad pair, but from reading the reviews it sound like Nike changed them!

Unfortately I need to return these shoes because they are too shallow for my orthotic shoe inserts. I keep stepping out of them and they feel unstable to me. It also feels as if there is less support at the front of the shoe compared to previous models I have had.

I had the Pegasus 34 and loved them. This shoe slips on my heel and the heel is too pointed on the back. It just felt and looked weird on my foot. I know it would have rubbed a blister in a short time.

Wow. I have a (way too old) pair of the older version of the Zoom Pegasus, which I love -- comfy, cute, supportive, lightweight, and .... way too old to exercise in. I ordered these hoping they'd be as comfy as my old ones. The only color available in my (in fact, in most) sizes was black, which wasn't my preference. But I liked the first pair so much I ordered anyway. NOPE. These shoes were weird. That bevel thing on the back was just plain ugly. The tongue is sewn in place and hit in an uncomfortable spot on my ankle. And, these were Wides, as are my previous pair, and they were a bit snug on my foot. Not comfortable, stiff, and weird. Wish they'd worked. Now, on to find a more comfortable, less awkward shoe.

I've been running in Pegasus for 5+ years, and with the 35, Nike has ruined everything I liked about it. The old Pegasus was lightweight and flexible, and the sole had just the right thickness in the heel for my foot. The new Pegasus feels much heavier and less flexible, and the heel is so high that it puts an uncomfortable amount of pressure on the ball of my foot.

For $120 I expected more. The shoe is super flimsy, feels like there is hardly any support and forces you to pronate more than you should. I am a size 12 and they felt super small without socks on. With socks they were super uncomfortable. Love the color, hate the shoe.

I’m very disappointed that this shoe didn’t fit—it is extremely narrow, even in wide and a half size larger than my usual size.

I was so excited when I opened the box-I purchased the particle rose pattern - and they are GORGEOUS. I ordered size 6 and my toe went right to the tip of the shoe (I'm a size 6). I was afraid to return and reorder a half size larger because I'm too busy to deal with this. I really wanted these shoes because the color and style are different and attractive. I have found that NIKE shoes are not true to size. I bought them for light jogging. I returned them. I found a pair of Brooks in a purple/pink/teal size 6 - and absolutely love these!

I always wear Nike and often the Pegasus model. I ordered this shoe in my usual perfect size of womens 9.5 and was shocked to find that my toes smashed against the end of the shoe as though I was trying on one size too small. Also the quality did not seem up to the usual. And that new elf shoe pointed heel has got to go! Returned the shoes and still looking for new. I do not recommend this shoe.

Huge disappointment. I've been running in the Pegasus for several years now and they had become my favorite. This model is markedly different from the 34 in that the toe box is not only narrower, but it has less depth as well. The material over the toes now hits the top of my big toe and hugs my toes making it very uncomfortable. I don't know why they had to go and change a good shoe!! I guess I will no longer be purchasing Nikes and will have to move on to a different brand.

I won the same pair in grey/white which are made in China feel great. The black ones which were made in Vietnam are completely uncomfortable. My foot is cramping and the shoes are not wearable. Both are the same size only different colors made in two different countries. Extremely disappointed in the comfort.

I ordered the WIDE as I have a somewhat wide foot - this sneaker wasn't WIDE at all, my toes felt pinched and after wearing them for just 30 minutes I experienced pins and needles in my toes and feet.

The fit is perfect however the tongue of the shoe is very unusually long compared to my Pegasus 33’s.?!?! It comes above my ankle bones and uncomfortably rubs over my tibialis anterior tendon (ugh). I have to return them- this issue would cause too much chaffing if I were running miles and miles.

I have worn Pegasus running shoes for years. Love the rose color, however, very disappointed in this shoe. It runs very narrow, is tight all over and I have a narrow foot! The tongue is not a separate piece so there is no way to make it roomier. Sadly, the wide width is only available in black. Returning.
