Customer Reviews Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36

I love these! The most comfortable sneakers I have ever owned.

Love these shoes! I have a narrow foot and these fit beautifully. I am a larger lady so good foot support is crucial, wore these shoes right out of the box for 8 hours and felt like I was walking on air.

Nike has been my go-to brand for sneakers since junior high as they fit my foot (narrow in the heel wide in the toe) best. In the past, I've used them primarily for exercise classes and working out at the gym (I'm not a runner). Over the past four months (in the midst of the pandemic) I've been going on daily walks lasting several miles and started looking for a new sneaker. I bought these based on good experience with a pair of Pegasus 28s. I agree with other reviewers that the quality has declined. While lightweight and attractive, the Pegasus 36 looks and feels more like a "fashion" sneaker than a serious exercise shoe. It lacks the support of the 28s and leather detailing that prolonged their life. I bought these on sale and will probably keep them but am disappointed.

Perfect fit in length and width but toe area from sole of shoe to top of shoe isn't deep enough and puts pressure on my toes. I wore these for several days hoping the fabric would stretch but it doesn't. As a result of the tight fit my feet get hot too.. and since it's cooler weather and not warmer I certainly don't want to see how hot my feet get later in the year. Plenty of width though so I'm disappointed. Also I need good arch support. While these start off of the day feeling great, they quickly feel flatter at the end of the day. Just shows me it's all cushion and no real support built in. I don't look for the arch support in these to last long term. Good cushion all over footbed though so no worries on any hard areas. If you aren't suffering from Plantar Fasciitis these may work very well for you.

These are pretty comfortable, but I found the tongue to come up a little too high onto the top of my foot for my liking. Got slightly uncomfortable when walking around because there was pressure right where my foot wanted to bend.

I originally purchased a smaller size based on the reviews but had to return for my normal size 6. I recently returned to Nike shoe for running after years with Asics and Hoka. I have a small foot and had issues with too much room in the toe box (causing blisters) with these running shoes. The Nike Pegasus 36 is the perfect shoe: cushioning (like the Hoka), arch support and a narrower toe box. I've run around 40 miles in my new shoes and love them.

It fits like a standard Nike, which means it runs a little small. Has more support than some of the other lightweight Nike running shoes.

I love NIKE shoes, and I liked the look of this shoe, but I didn't like how I felt too high up in the shoe. I kept walking out of the shoe. Not good support for walking or running.

I loved the Pegasus 35, but these are not nearly as comfortable. I tried running in them for a few weeks, but they just aren’t good enough. Not enough cushion and the laces come untied on the regular. Sorry Nike, they must go back. On the upside, Zappos has the very best customer service around! They simply cannot be beat! I will always order my running shoes (and other shoes) from Zappos. You are fabulous, Zappos! Thank you!

Shoe fit okay but the hell is VERY low in the back. If you wanted to wear these without socks it might be okay but if you wanted these for running shoes or even every day walk-around shoes it would be hard to wear without your socks getting pushed down at the heel. I loved the overall look and really wanted these to fit better but they didn't work out for me.

True to size but the inside lacing/tongue of the shoe hurt the top sides of my feet. I also felt like foot was slipping out at the heel even though it never actually happened. I tried walking a mile in them I got used to heel slippage but I did not the pain from the lacing so these are unfortunately going going. Overall I liked the style but just not for me.

Meh ..cute shoe but sizing off

This had a weird feeling area in the ball of the foot that made me feel like I had a rock stuck in my shoes all the time. Returned

I love the look of these shoes, but they definitely aren’t as comfy as my Pegasus 34’s, which I’m sad about. Won’t be wearing these to the gym, but I love the color so much keeping them for “athleisure” wear. ?

The shoe felt a little big overall. The heal is weird and has a pad at the back which makes it slip. The green color is ok, but is so pale it looks faded.

I have been buying the Pegasus for years. This new model has very little cushion on the ball of the toe. The tongue is thin and far less comfortable than previous versions.

So wish Nike would go back to the way the Zoom Pegasus 35 was made. This style is doesn't have the support and the tongue is too short and cuts into the skin, it needs so be thicker so it's more comfortable when you tighten the shoe strings.

After running in the shoes for about a month, the inter cushion started to wear out. I have run in Nike shoes for years from marathons to 5 k's and this particular shoe wore out faster than usual - very disappointing.

I wouldn’t know how the size and fit is because Zappos cancelled my order without notifying me. Is this normal? I have always heard such good things about this company. But no communication and just a cancellation is really frustrating.

The looks of the black with colored accents beautiful, but the quality of materials cheap and thinner. The tongue very thin. The width of front wide and bulged. After trying on, I immediately returned them. A big disappointment for the same shoe the air zoom Pegasus 33, far superior quality.

These are not real Nike!! Nike would never sell a sneaker where the swoosh was different on both shoes. These are knock offs Poor quality !!!!!!

Bought these as a gift for my daughter. She loved the look and feel of them. However after just 3 weeks of very normal wear (to school, etc). the mesh above the ball of the foot started ripping (see pics). It happened on both shoes in the same spot. I think this is a bit defective and a disappointing product from Nike. HOWEVER, Zappos was awesome about it as always and fixed our issue.

Terrible. I have alwasy worn Pegasus and this model is the cheap expensive version.

This new Pegasus 36 is a MAJOR FAIL. Why did Nike take a perfectly good shoe (Pegasus 34 & 35) and make this model? The pointy heel is ugly and the non-exsistent tongue (no padding) offers NO comfort against the lacing system. I will be searching the internet for the Pegasus 34 & 35 model since Zappos does not carry them anymore. Nike-go back to the drawing board!!!

I have worn air Pegasus for years and years. Nike continues to try to derail this brand by making it less and less a shoe. Maybe because this is Air Pegasus Zoom, there is a difference. Wish I could find my favorite shoe again! I walk 2-3 miles a day in this shoe and it matters a lot that it not slip on heel ,etc.
