Blog · Believe in the Run – Robbe, Thomas · summarized
PositiveRobbe and Thomas call it a blue-collar workhorse daily trainer, with a secure upper, softer React than v38 and excellent grip. They note a narrow toe box, less pop from the forefoot Zoom unit and dull colorways.
Blog · Doctors of Running – Nathan Brown, Bach Pham · summarized
PositiveA versatile, reliable neutral trainer with a more stable heel than v37/38. Both found it narrow with a low-volume toe box, and one tester had to lace-lock it. Overall A-.

PositiveHas run at least 300 km in the Pegasus 39 from short runs to 20 km+; excellent and very durable if it fits, but it is narrow and soaks up water like a sponge in rain.
