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-.
Blog · Hebereke no Hashiru Sekai – hebereke555 · summarized
PositiveHebereke reports exceptional durability: at 2,000 km the upper has only small splits and most outsole rubber remains intact. The midsole is tired, but the Air units still cushion, making it a strong value.

PositiveAfter 370 miles, a 130 lb forefoot-striking middle-distance runner finds the Pegasus 39 fixes the 38's problems: durable, stable, good traction and true to size, but boring and not very responsive.
Reddit · r/RunningShoeGeeks · Mar 6, 2023 · summarized
PositiveReally likes the Pegasus 39 as an all-rounder for long runs, tempo and light trails: stable, durable, light and breathable enough, though its forefoot Air units irritate their metatarsals beyond about 6 miles.

PositiveA 6'4", 200 lb runner set an outdoor 5K PR on the first run in the Pegasus 39 and calls it the most comfortable run they've had: good grip, energy transfer and stability.
Runners mostly find the Pegasus 39 a durable, comfortable everyday trainer, with an upper that fits well and an outsole that often passes 400 miles. The ride leans firm, and some find it clunky at slow paces or tiring past 10 km. A few find it narrow.
Of the 79 reviews with a clear verdict, 53% are positive, 27% mixed and 20% negative. The praise mentioned most is durable. The most common complaint is narrow fit.
The complaints reviewers mention most: narrow fit (5 reviews), wears out fast (3 reviews) and heavy (2 reviews).
