FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the Pegasus 42 series is specifically designed for athletic use, including running, thanks to the responsive cushioning.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the foam and adhesives. Stick to hand cleaning.
What is the primary difference in the midsole?
The ReactX foam is designed to be more responsive and durable than standard foams, providing better bounce.
Are these good for wide feet?
The Pegasus 42 features a wider toe box compared to previous models, which often accommodates various foot shapes more comfortably.
How often should I replace these trainers?
For active children, performance trainers should typically be inspected every 3 to 6 months for wear patterns on the outsole or signs of foam compression.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lace tension by loosening the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to relieve pressure.
Outsole collecting debris in tread
Use a soft plastic tool or brush to dislodge small stones or mud from the rubber grooves to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Pegasus 42 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth.
- Lacing: Use the classic lace-up system to achieve a secure fit that matches the child's foot arch.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a mild soap and a damp cloth to spot-clean the upper mesh. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators or inside a clothes dryer, as this can damage the foam and adhesive materials.
