Pegasus Premium are cool looking. 210 bucks though.

The only shoe I get comments on.

The stack height was great. I’ve had Invincibles before as well. The premiums felt unstable and uneven because of the placement of the air zoom units. The Pegasus premium are great because it’s one single air zoom that feels even imo

I tried the Peg Premium this morning. It's heavy and hard, but aesthetically pleasing and very comfortable for walking...or as an all-purpose sneaker. The Vomero Plus is another planet, very comfortable and fun at a leisurely pace.

I had this same issue with Nike Pegasus Premium. Switched to Vomero Plus and they’re way more stable. I’d look for a more stable shoe due to your over pronation.

I bought them and loved them immediately. They were so comfy. They’re by far, my comfiest shoe. And I don’t run in them, but I walk in them a lot. They were so spongy and plushy, compared to the regular Pegasus. But I use them more as walking shoes as opposed to running. I do 4-5 miles a day at work

I have super narrow feet too. I like the puma velocity 3 and the new fast-r 3. From Nike, Pegasus esp the premium version and the Vaporfly. I can’t really do hoka much because of the lack of a pointy toe box, but their lasts tend to run narrow through the midfoot. The adidas sl2, Takumi sen, and adios 9 are good too. A lot of high stack shoes are also made really wide so that they are more stable, so you have to be really careful with those.

I’m fairly new to running, and as my intro shoe I got the Nike Pegasus Premium and at first it was okay but with time I realized how bad it hurt my toes during my runs. I usually run anywhere from 3-5 miles although I am trying to up my mileage. I am now stuck between the Nike Vomero Plus or the Adidas Evo SL. For someone like me that runs at a 7:30 pace and wants to run anywhere from 5-10 miles soon, which should would be best?

The Asics Megablast has a more powerful and better placed pop feedback and above all more stable than the Vomero Plus. I think the runner's weight is important... I weigh 95kg and the Vomero Plus, despite excellent cushioning, doesn't propel me. I walk with the vomero plus and I run with the megablast. I have not tested the Vomero Premium but I tested the Pegasus Premium which certainly offers more feedback (pop) but which is dangerously unstable on heel impact..(the Vomero Premium seems more stable but not tested).
