The firm yet forgiving cushioning drew many comparisons to New Balance’s line of Fresh Foam shoes, especially the recently released Beacon.Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Women’s Running Shoe is the latest in the line of this iconic shoe. The first run in the 36 felt like sliding on a new pair of 35s.Ī big factor in the enjoyment of the ride is the full-length layer of Zoom Air. I logged over 250 miles in the Pegasus 35, including two full marathon training cycles and one 26-mile run. “Just like any human relationship, as I progressed in run-testing, we learned how to work together.” “I felt looseness, likely due to the lacing system,” said one tester. Of the dozen-plus categories used as the basis for each review, the lacing was the only part of the shoe to only receive a “good” rating testers wished they were thicker, stating they had to tighten and re-tie them throughout their run. Some felt the redesigned upper was slightly larger and looser compared to the 35, while others didn’t notice any differences. With a few minor exceptions, testers gave the Pegasus 36 high marks across the board. Despite the improved upper, some found difficulty tightening the lacing.
