Nike - Pegasus 39

Nike. Specifically the Pegasus 39 Shield as these were incredible shoes, still wearing them nearly 700km later as walking shoes. Also Vaporflys obviously..

Seconding everyone recommending a running shoe store! They will be able to help you the best.  Personally, I always recommend Nike Pegasus as a solid neutral running shoe- the 39s have a wider toe box and a normal height. Since they are an older model they should be in your price range as well!

Hello, I've recently started running (3months) and have Nike pegasus 39 shield which I've used as a daily trainer as well as for my 10k marathon. Any shoe recommendations in budget around 5-8k which would help my shoe rotation & training. Any brand is fine for me. I was researching a bit and found that adidas sl2 are a good buy since they can be used for my race day as well as recovery runs if I'm not wrong

When the temp drops and slimy leaves are out I’ve been using Nike Pegasus 39 Shield. Those claiming the Pegasus trail are good for slippy tarmac don’t know what they’re talking about. The Sole compound is different on those and designed for light gravel/ roots and is actually pretty and on wet tarmac I find (i run Pegasus trail 4 for off road). For context dry/ summer i’m using NB 1080v12

I have a GT 2000 -13, Kayano 31, Nimbus 23 and Pegasus 39 (Shield). Nimbus 23 I use for training/outdoor walks as cushioning has reduced GT 2000-13 is my daily trainer + runner Nike takes the same place as GT2000 when I'm alternating. However I couldn't hit the sweet spot with Kayano, It's feel heavy for runs, too cushioned for training. How'd you suggest using the Kayano 31? I was actually planning to simply use Kayano as a sneaker/outdoor shoe. Bought it for 4.9k that's the only thing stopping me for using it as outdoor shoe.

Only difference between shield and normal is that shield is weatherized, Itll have water repellent coating, hence will have less ventilation and feels warmer. Soles will support trails, so more grippy Other than that everything else is similar. Pegasus 39 is old though, you could check other options!

Pegasus 39, bought it for $60 and will last 700+ miles

I’ve run over 1000km on 3 different Pegasus range. I’ve been anywhere from 95-105kg

I am using Pegasus 39 and Dynablast 5. Which one out of these do you recommend for a half marathon distance?

For the last 3500 miles, I have run in only 1 pair of shoes at a time (including races) - 1000 on Pegasus 38s, retired - 1000 on Pegasus 38s, retired - 1000 on Pegasus 39s, retired - 500 on Pegasus 39s (any guesses on when I’ll retire them?) The theory is different shoes put different stress on different parts of your feet and help with injury prevention. Up to you on what ever works best for you, just be mindful, some people have found success having a shoe rotation. Given you’ve already run a marathon, I wouldn’t consider you new to this, and you likely know what works for you.

I tried the Peg 39 and just couldn't force myself to run in such a dead feeling shoe, not sure if the 41 is better? IMO if I want to run shoe that gives me no assistance and forces me to do all the work I would just run in old school flats rather than a dead feeling daily trainer, since those don't get in my way at least.

If you compare Pegasus 41 with today's trending sneakers, they will be considered dull. But I like them a lot. I have two pairs of the pegasus 39, a pair of the pegasus 41 and a pair of the mizuno wave rider 28. Next year I will acquire two pairs of the new wave rider 29 and I will probably alternate my whole life between this line of shoes pegasus - wave rider. They give me everything I need, without freshness, without perfumery. They are cheaper than most and last more than a thousand kilometers. Why more than that? I would never find myself running around in these hyped and often soft sneakers like gelatin, they just don't work well for me. Maximum respect for classic daily coaches, do everything without perfumery and give you the necessary support for any type of training.

I also find the 39 model very aggressive, and I left them to use in faster races, the 41 I made it my model for more normal riding and long distances, alternating with the wave rider 28. As I weigh 66 kg, the pegasus 41 provides adequate cushioning for me. even for more than longer 15+ km runs.

I have two pairs of the pegasus edition 39 and I love them. I paid something around 60 dollars in a big promotion, at that price, they are worth every penny. At first I felt some adjustment pain in the first kilometer... but then my feet got used to it and I never felt anything again. I liked it so much that I bought a pair of Pegasus 41, also on sale for 70 dollars, they feel a little more cushioned, I'm going to use them for long runs too, as I'm light and weigh just over 65kg. Now on Black Friday I bought two pairs of Wave Rider 28 on sale, they cost 60 dollars too each par. I'm also really enjoying it. I like lower sneakers, with regular cushioning, in which I can feel the ground, in addition to being flexible sneakers. I'm very satisfied, Now, I have 5 brand-new pairs (three pegasus and two wave riders) and now I have reliable equipment to run many kilometers for next 2 years at least. They keep me running 30-40 km a week without getting injured, so I don't have to look for other, much more expensive products. In my country, shoes like NB 1080, Novablasts, Neo vistas, Evo SL are expensive and not for daily trainning. I need reliable daily trainers for all terrains, with stability and many important, durability. my wife have 2 pairs of adizero sl2, and its feel too much soft in my experience, I feel my legs heavy, I dont know why, but, its not my best experience. same with nb 1080 v14.
