To any shoe gurus out there; Wondering how similar the two models are. If I've had a fair amount of success with the Pegs how do you think I'd like the Structures? I do like the somewhat plush ride of the Pegs but I've had similar success with much stiffer shoes (Mizuno Sayonara, Elixir). And what's the arch like? I can't do a shoe with a high arch.
Thanks.

You do realize that the Structure is a stability shoe, and like most stability shoes has a medial wedge, right? Depending on how your arches are, you may only feel it slightly or it may bother the holy hell out of you. I don't know. To me, the Prgs are really plush and squishy, where as the the structures are squishy laterally and firmer medically. I didn't like either, so go figure.
Maybe you could buy some from a store that lets you return them after trying them out. If you don't like them, you can return them and get something you do like.
As the poster above me mentioned, the Structure is a completely different shoe than the Pegasus. I've known a few people that have been able to switch between a neutral shoe and a support shoe, but my feet notice the difference after a few steps. You may be wasting $120 on a pair of Structures if its too much support for your arch.
I'd recommend going to a local running store and trying out a pair on the treadmill before you make the investment.
As others have said, those are completely different shoes.
Go to your local running shoe store (not a big box store, an actual running store). Get fitted appropriately.

The pegs are way diffrent than the structures. Totally diffrent ride.
Had both and while everybody does say they are different shoes, both could potentially work for you. If you overpronate, nothing says you have to have stability shoes, but I find they help me a little. The pegasus felt pretty comfortable, but after about 500 miles they are pretty much done. I had to stop wearing them, as my peroneal tendon was bugging me a bit everytime I ran in them. Structures are fine, I have a low arched foot and found they were kinda harsh on that for like the first 20 miles. Now they feel awesome. The structures feel great if you forefoot strike, as the zoom air in the forefoot is really nice. Try them both out and see what you like better.
