Wanted to know if anybody else is having this issue. Been running in Pegs for a while, and the same size I've always used is absolutely shredding my toes (black toenails, blisters, etc) after a few weeks of ~110 mpw in the Peg 37s.
That said, I do really like the feel of this gen otherwise. Can others relate? Would going up a half size help? Any advice?
I don't have the exact same issues, but my toes feel jammed into the shoes for the duration of my runs. It gets really uncomfortable. I never had these issues with other Pegs or the Vomeros.

This is a question you have to ask? Rhetorical question: Is it the air space (gas) or the physical material (solid) making up the interior of the shoes smashing your toes?

I used to just get the Brooks Ghost but at about #11 onward they seemed to be so segmented in heel versus forefoot that I was always getting an odd tendon problem. I picked up team issued Pegasus 34, 36 and they felt very runnable from heel to toe and after 20 miles seemed to mold to the foot. The Brooks Ghost while only having a 2mm more heel to toe offset felt so disproportionate.
Just looking at the Pegasus 37 it seems to taper on the medial side moreso than 34, 36 and the volume with that tighter weave material has little give. I recently picked up Brooks Glycerin 18s and while a little heavier(.6oz) those have a great natural feel for a workhorse.
Brooks uses different lasts I'm sure this Pegasus 37 is on a different last and it doesn't work for some
Your shoes don’t fit and you made a thread about it? Just get a new shoe.
I had this issue with the Turbo 2s. I think poor midfoot lockdown was the problem. Once I broke the shoes in properly, they were fine.
