"I've purchased the Pegasus for the last four years, and the +26 is a great immprovement on a sound product. It is lightweight, and perfect for us runners with high arches and boney feet. I am also a supinator, and I find its support is exceptional. I took advice from a friend who had purchased the latest model, and got the 1/2 size up, only to go back and get my true size. I felt the 1/2 size larger was too loose, and I noticed the heel/ankle support rubbing too much. I don't have that problem at all with my true size. The Pegasus is truly the best running shoe. I have worn Sauconys, Asics, Mizunos, Brooks and other Nikes, and I always go back to the Pegasus. I currently run 2-3 miles daily during the week, a 3.5 one day and a longer (4-8) miler on the weekend, and I can usually stretch mine for a year. Even training hard-core for a full marathon, so averaging 30-mile weeks, they've lasted nearly a year! Perfect shoe."

"Running is a part of my job, I have to run between 3 and 5 miles every other day, I have been doing this for 15 years. When it was time to buy another pair of shoes I decided on the Nike Air Pegasus. I bought this shoe because it was the number one rated running shoe by runner's world in 2009. When I first tried my new shoes out they seemed to be great. The first week I ran 2-3 miles a day for five days. On the second week I did not run at all, because I noticed pain in my knees, hips, and lower back which are typically caused from running. On the third week I tried running in the shoe again and had the same results with an additional pain which was located in the arch of my foot. This is strange to me since I wear arch supports and have never had this problem with any other running shoe I have owned. This shoe is great for holding your arch support in place and next to your foot but I don't think it has enough cushioning for road running or tread machines. I am very disappointed in this shoe and currently looking for another shoe that is better. I might recommend this shoe to someone who doesn't have foot problems, and has a smaller build."

"I play a lot of tennis and jog outdoors as often as possible. These Nike Air Pegasus +26 shoes are very comfortable and breathable especially when it comes to running. Using them for tennis, they are also quite comfortable for all the lateral movements on the court and they have very good traction. I can't think about anything bad to say about these shoes. They were worth every penny."
