FAQs
What is the main difference between these and standard Pegasus trainers?
The Air Zoom Pegasus Premium features a triple-layered midsole combining ZoomX, Air Zoom, and ReactX foams for enhanced cushioning and responsiveness, whereas standard Pegasus models typically use React foam or a combination without ZoomX at this level.
Are these suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the high level of cushioning and responsive feel makes them a good option for marathon running, especially for those who benefit from plush landings and energy return over long distances.
How do I clean my Pegasus Premium trainers?
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on these shoes?
The heel-to-toe drop is 10 mm.
What type of runs are these best suited for?
They are best suited for daily training, tempo runs, and long-distance road running due to their balanced cushioning and responsiveness.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they offer comfort, they are primarily designed for running. For gym workouts, especially those involving significant lateral movements, shoes with more inherent stability might be more appropriate.
What is the weight of these trainers?
The approximate weight is 275 grams (9.7 oz) for a Women's US size 8.
Troubleshooting
Uneven cushioning feel
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly and the foot is positioned properly within the shoe. The unique combination of foams may feel different initially; allow a break-in period.
Upper feels too loose or restrictive
Adjust the lacing pattern. The stretchy knit upper can be secured by tightening the laces in specific areas. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a personalized fit.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The modified waffle outsole provides good traction, but grip on very wet surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution on wet roads and consider alternative shoes for extremely wet conditions.
Shoes feel excessively soft
This is a characteristic of the cushioning technology. If a firmer ride is preferred, these may not be the ideal shoe. Consider a model with less emphasis on plush cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up and they are ready for use. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first run.
Compatibility:
Designed for road running. While the durable outsole offers good grip, they are not intended for technical trail running or heavy gym workouts that require significant lateral support.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud. For stubborn stains, a mild soap can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid cramming them into tight spaces to maintain their shape.
