PositiveHas run over 1,000 miles in several pairs of the Pegasus 41 in Pacific Northwest weather year-round, on gravel trails and asphalt. Would have sworn its traction is better than the Gel Nimbus 26's.

PositiveA Pegasus 41 owner says it fits perfectly with no issues after 400 miles.

PositiveScore 7. Very 'democratic': no extreme strengths or obvious flaws. It suits newer runners who need one trainer for slow runs through workouts. The new ReactX doesn't change the familiar feel. Wear after 150 km only at his usual spots, with 600-700 km expected for runners up to ~75 kg.

PositiveA versatile jogging shoe that also handles race pace in build-up runs. Light-feeling despite its weight, breathable, with a durable-looking outsole. Replacing his 900 km Ghost 15, he was very satisfied and recommends it to anyone stuck choosing a jog shoe.

PositiveHis main training shoe: ReactX cushion and rebound make running fun, and at nearly 400 km it is still going strong with only some sole wear. The downside: runners who dislike soft, squishy modern foam should try it first.

PositiveA classic that holds steady: still feels good after 300 miles thanks to its durable build, and is a reliable daily trainer if you liked the 40. Few changes, so don't expect the older feel of the line. Narrow like most Nikes, with no wide option noted.

PositiveOver 100 miles of running plus some walking, at 195 lb. The upper has no rips or real wear and the fit got better as it broke in, and the cushioning still feels pleasant. The softer outsole rubber wears down faster than they would like, though they call it average for a daily trainer, and the Zoom units and ground feel become more noticeable with use. They find it best for easy runs up to about a half marathon.
Many runners find the Nike Pegasus 41 a reliable, comfortable and very durable daily shoe, with several logging a lot of miles in it. Fit is the main split, as some find the toe box roomy while others find the forefoot too narrow. A few found it heavy, lackluster or unresponsive.

The complaints reviewers mention most: narrow fit (1 review). For example: A runner finds the Pegasus 41 toe box wider but the ball of the foot narrower, with their foot spilling over in the same size as the Peg 39/40.
