Mixed

They like their Pegasus Plus a lot, but at 400 miles the outsole tread is badly worn at about 155 lbs and they notice slipping during intervals.

Mixed

They loved their Pegasus Plus but felt it lost its pop after roughly 150 miles at about 210 lbs body weight.

Positive

After 1,000 km: no quirks, easy to use for everything from jogs to pace runs, and strong value on sale. Cushioning has clearly dropped, the outsole is worn on the outer edge and the upper is starting to tear. Now a backup shoe, but he would wear it again.

Blog · Runshu – Shuichi Hibino · summarized

Negative

Durability is 'poor, critically so for a daily trainer'. The midsole was heavily creased and the cushioning gone by 400 km, the upper holed at ~300 km, and the shoe felt tilted. It also rides firm and heavy. He retired it and never bought a second pair.

Blog · Doctors of Running – Matt Klein, Andrea Myers (DPTs) · summarized

Negative

Grades mostly B to C. One tester found the ZoomX only moderately responsive, with a clunky heel and lugs worn by 30 miles. Another tester got burning hot spots from the high-volume upper on every run and won't run in it again.
