The first Pegasus turbos were my favorite shoe. I absolutely loved them. The second gen turbos were decent. Second gen was better for mid distance shoes. Anything over 10k on second gen was not it.
Peg Turbo (OG), Superblast 2. Probably adding the Rad UFO to that list.
Been rotating between Salomon Sense Ride for trails and Nike Pegasus for road runs. Nothing super exciting, but both just work. The Sense Ride feels like a nice middle ground - enough grip for most trails without feeling too heavy. Pegasus is just my “don’t think, just run” shoe. Been thinking about trying something with a wider toe box next (maybe Topo or Altra again), but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Literally any modern shoe you buy is probably going to feel like a Cadillac on your feet compared to Nike Frees. If you like that lower stack kinda ground feel I’d look at something like the Pegasus or the brooks hyperion. If you want something with a little bit more underfoot without being bulky I’d look at the asics Novablast 5, Vomero Plus, Saucony ride or Saucony Triumph.
Wouldn't recommend the evo sl mostly due to grip and stability both being well below average. Can't speak on the other two but the vomero does have great coverage and aside from the heel (which is unfortunatly an important spot) it's fairly stable. My experience with other Pegasus models makes me say they are just not worth it. Of the ones you listed I'd say go with the Vomero
My exact thoughts as well. Train in Pegasus, race in Alphaflys.
I've just moved from Brooks Adrenaline to Nike Pegasus and wow. Straight out of the box 6 mile run with no issues.
I used to get the same on 1 foot. Always taped it before long runs. Changed from Brooks Adrenaline to Nike Pegasus and I don't blister anymore.
I’ve run over 1000km on 3 different Pegasus range. I’ve been anywhere from 95-105kg
