PositiveIt surprises again: the perfect single shoe for runners up to the half marathon, at its best for easy 8-10 km runs, with a responsive midsole for some pickups. He wouldn't use it for marathon long runs, especially if you weigh over 75 kg.

PositiveHis 'partner' for a sub-4: jogs, 5:40/km pace runs, 20 km runs and a 3-hour LSD, ending in a 3:57 at the Kumamoto Castle Marathon. Soft but propulsive and stable when legs tire. Light enough for the first 100 km of use, but he raced in the EVO SL.

MixedTwo testers, on runs from about 3 to 10 miles. The upper is comfortable and true to size with no hot spots, and one of them with a wider foot found it roomy; the ride felt bouncy at first. Both found the forefoot cushioning too thin on runs over about an hour, and one developed pain under the foot. The outsole rubber feels waxy, though the coverage should last, so they see it as a shoe for shorter, easier runs.
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.
