After 600 miles each, the SolarBoost 5's midsole has held up better than the Pegasus 40's, and its great outsole makes it their pick for slippery, snowy days.

“I've now run 600 miles in the Nike Pegasus 40, and another 600 miles in the Adidas SolarBoost 5.”

The Solarboost 5, bought for about $60, is nice: next to it their Pegasus 40 feels firmer, and they're enjoying running in it.

“The SB 5 is nice, now I feel my Pegasus 40 feels firmer”

About 200 miles in the Solarboost 5: not a favourite but it improves with time, feels clunky until 2–3 miles in, and needs a runner's loop.

“I've run about 200 miles in a pair of them. They're definitely not my favorite, but they do get better over time.”
