I am on my feet all day. I am a real estate investor. I can't dress up because I'm going in and out construction sites, hardware stores and running errands. I prefer to wear stylish activewear and sneakers. This shoes are VERY comfortable and offer great support. I am overweight and prone to knee pain. After wearing these shoes for a few days of work, my knee pain has faded. I am ordering more colors.

Ordered these because I love the Pegasus 35. This new style runs bigger and doesn't have as much arch support as the previous style.

I love the look of this new Pegasus 36 but the fit is horrible.. I have a very narrow foot and only buy Nike Pegasus because of the fit. This one is wider than the previous models and my heel pops out at the back no matter HOW tight I do the laces. My foot is literally marked due to laces being so tight and my heel still pops out. The back/heel support with the 'pointy' back is horrible. Terrible design.

I was in love with the 35s, but something is different about these even with the minor redesign. The arch support feels bulkier on the inner arch. Also the tongue was redesigned to be thinner and now is a bit sloppy/overhangs as a result. I managed to find 35s in my size other than on zappos (sadly, since I try to be loyal to zappos), so I returned these to get the last of the better ones!

Fabulous running shoes for this recreational runner (3-5 miles several times per week, suburban sidewalks and trails). I haven't bought a pair of Air Pegasus since the early '90s but I will definitely stick with this model for a while. Perfect fit right out of the box. Not 100 percent crazy about the fabric style (mine are black and white) -- also there's some small print on the inner white side of each shoe that just looks weird -- but the support, comfort and versatility of the shoe outweighs those very minor issues. I plan to use them as my go-to running and walking shoes on an upcoming European trip and I'm SO glad I found them. Good job, Nike!

Fit was Very good for 13 y/o girl. You can’t tell from stock photos but the black fabric in the toes area is actually lace-like and the glo-orange color peeks out from underneath. These were a home run for school sneakers.

I love Air Zoom Pegasus! However, when I opened the box of my new pink Nike’s I was almost blinded by the hot glare! These are not cute pink like the photo. They are hot, neon pink. Ouch!

I couldn't get this shoe to fit. I wore 8.5 W in my 34's. In these 36's the 8.5 W was too long, the 8.0 W was too short, and the 8.0 M was too narrow. This shoe is not for me. Fortunately Zappos let me return them after trying. Am disappointed.

I really love this shoe! I am very hard on my feet as a dance fitness instructor--lots of jumping and turning--and these have a great balance of cushion, stability, and flexibility. Even better than earlier Pegasus versions.

Love the look and feel of these. I’ve already tried them on the treadmill and on an outdoor run. They feel super light and airy just like all the Nike Air Zoom Pegasuses I’ve owned in the past. The best part of the 36 update in my opinion is the shorter tongue. Makes them very comfortable on the top of my foot.

These new versions of Nike’s Pegasus are really cute and comfortable! The older versions, on me at least, didn’t fit right and the shoe itself didn’t feel comfortable at all. But this shoe is completely different. It’s has a great feel in the heel, arch and toe regions, it honestly feels like you’re walking on a cloud. It’s so nice and the arch support is amazing. It hugs your feet and gives it support at the same time. This pair of shoes is great for me because I’m a college student, and my school has a lot of hills and walking and hiking involved. So the grooves on the bottom are really good at keeping me grounded and grips the ground more than any of my other sneakers. I can’t wait to wear these to school. So happy I bought these! 100% worth the price! :)

Looks great but feels meh, going back. When I first tried them on, I thought "that's some serious support" because you literally are bouncing on all the cushioning and having no feet issues, I thought it was a done deal. But I wore them twice for my normal gym cardio routine - elliptical and spinning - and all that support felt more like pressure, not comfort. In fact, they leave the sole of my foot feeling sore, like I've been walking for hours which is the opposite of my prior Nikes. They look hot, giving 80's vibes, but in this case, looks are sadly deceiving. Thrilled that Zappos gives 30 days to wear and return because I don't have that buyer's remorse going.

These are not mine. I bought them for my wife. She’s working on her feet all day and wanted something comfortable and sturdy. Thinking the women’s version of my favorite Wolverines would do the trick, I decided to surprise her with a pair from my shoe store. ZAPPOS. She would t even try them on... After a few runs to the UPS store during a pandemic; donned in PPE, I’m happy to report that after $400 on 3 pair she settled on, these made her smile. Soon as she put them on her face lit up. (That makes me happy!) She made two comments: 1. Wow I can barely feel them (lightweight) 2. OMG this arch is so nice. I gave 5 stars except style. Have style 4 stars because she didn’t smile until she got them on her feet. Great shoe! PEACE

Not very comfortable for me. The shoe would push my foot into an inward position even though there is a good arch support in the insole. Not much bounce when walking. Thought I would like it because I used to purchase Pegasus sneakers often years ago but this is a very different shoe..

I have been buying this Nike shoe for decades and this is either a fake Nike or the quality has gone way down. I noticed right away that the tongue was thinner and made with cheaper material. I soon realized that the outer material was inferior too. I already have a hole in the material portion of shoe (see picture) and I've been wearing it for three weeks. Disappointing!

I won't buy Pegasus again until they remove the ridiculous tapered fin in the back. It is such a comical look, meant to be aerodynamic I guess but really how much does that silly-looking fin at the back really do?? It just makes you look ridiculous.

I originally got these in a 6.5, knowing that with Nike you usually have to go up a size, but my heel kept slipping out. I exchanged them for a 6 but they were way too tight and my heel still slipped out. I guess that’s just how this shoe is made. I couldn’t even walk without my heel coming out, let alone run. It’s too bad because I loved the look, but it wouldn’t be safe to wear them. Also, the arch is extremely firm and it kind of feels like there’s a big rock in the shoe. Zappos was, of course, super helpful in returning them.

Nope. Much less cushion-y than the Air Zoom Pegusus 35s. I went for a run and my knees are aching; it’s like they have 200 miles on them already. I’ll probably switch back to Brooks or just run in my Hokas. Bummer, I loved the old model. Not recommended for high-mileage running if you like a soft ride.

Had to order a half size larger than other brands. Usually order narrow width shoes, but that was not necessary with these. Not as happy with the shorter tongue on this year’s version, but overall the zoom Pegasus is a miracle of comfort and support for my feet. If you have high arches that need support these may be the miracle you are looking for as well!

I have a wide foot with a small bunion. The shoe has a lot of give up front with adjustable laces, and to my surprise, they not only fit fine but are super comfortable. I am on my second pair now.

I usually use a size 10, but in these a size 9.5 felt best. I love the fit and appearance of these shoes. Perfect for zumba, weights, and simply walking at the gym. More expensive than I'd usually pay, but it's been very much worth the investment!
