NikeWomen's Air Zoom Pegasus 38 Running Sneakers from Finish Line

Love these shoes.

I bought 3 pairs! I love them. The white with the black heel went with everything. Too bad they don’t have my size or I’d reorder!

Visible damage

The shoes fit well, but I will be returning them due to black marks in white areas on the side of one of the shoes.

True Comfort!

The very best Nike shoe in my opinion for comfort and cushioning. I have several pair of Pegasus 38. I've tried Pegasus 39 which I found disappointing. I have a couple pair of Pegasus 40. Hands down I would recommend Pegasus 38 for comfort above all other Nike designs I have tried as well.

To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. I have been running in Nike Pegasus for 20 years. They are my go-to running shoe. I buy my next pair and keep them in my closet so I'm ready to go as I wear out the previous pair. For the first time in 2 decades, I can't run without pain in my Nike Pegasus 38s. The problem seems to be that the upper in the 38 doesn't wrap the foot as much as the 37 and all previous versions. This means that the sides of the shoe between the sole and the laces are shorter, the laces are farther apart, and the tongue is wider. Unfortunately, this results in a pressure point on the top of my foot that causes the ball of my foot becoming numb, tingly, and painful. I can't get more than 2 miles into a run before the discomfort starts. I have tried lacing the shoes in a way to completely skip the third from bottom eyelet. This helps a little, but then my foot doesn't feel secure. I sincerely hope that the design of the upper will return to how it was fitted in the Pegasus 37 and early versions, or I am going to have to find a new go-to shoe for the first time in 20 years.

Squeaky

The shoes are very comfortable, but I've had them for about 6 months now and every time I walk they're squeaking. I have no clue how to fix this, and it's honestly driving me nuts.

good quality

Well made, nice and light! Would like to give 4 and half stars, but none such option :)

Major heel slippage

I love the overall look and style of these shoes, as well as the incredibly cushy soles; however my huge issue is that the heel depth is too shallow. With almost every step it feels as though it is sliding off and on, which over time would cause major chaffing and blistering. I'm exchanging for Pegasus 39 in hopes this issue was resolved!

weird back

The back of these sneakers come together in a point. They make the shoes longer than necessary and can cause tripping with certain activities. Very unhappy with this purchase.
