Pegasus 36 - Heel slippage

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

3 years ago 06/30/2020 2:06pm EDT

I bought the shoe and at first I was very happy whit the running shoes. But on my right foot ive noticed a slight heel slippage. Whit normal walking it's much worse. I heard more people complaining about it. Another thing is that it doesn't feel like my heel is very snug in the back. And strange thing is that rest of the shoe is very snug around my feet.

I got OCD so I am constantly focusing on it during my run. I don't want to use other lacing techniques. Don't like the sensation and feeling of it.

This is my 3rd different pair running shoes and I have the same whit freedom ISO 2 but a little bit less. Should I stick whit the running shoes?

If they're size 11 I'll buy them off you. Let me know your price if so.

I said this last month and everyone ignored my topic. The same thing happens in the pegasus 36 because of the heel flair. The only way to solve it is to buy longer laces and lace the top eyelet, but the design of the shoe is fundamentally wrong.

These shoes messed my feet up, possibly permanently because they gave me a spur on the top of my foot. It was the result of tying them tight enough to attempt to get heal lockdown, with the flimsy tongue offering no protection from the lacing if you do the runner’s knot. I didn’t have an issue with the 35s.

I' m afraid of having damaged my peroneal and anterior tibialis tendons on my left foot with the design of pegasus 35 and 36.

My left foot is about 1/2 point smaller than the right one and I need to tighten the shoe a lot more and make runners knot to avoid heel slippage. That put a lot of pressure on the top of my foot and the heel collar digs into the side of my ankle.

I'm now running with the React Infinity (which are strangely known for their heel slippage) with thicker socks and the Zoom Fly Flyknit for my workouts and I have no problem. I'm afraid to go back to my Pegasus 36 and Turbo.

I have been wearing Pegasus for the last 10 years or so. I've liked them, except with the 36, they seem too big for my feet, despite being the same size as prior versions.

Had the same problem out of the box, but I just used the extra top lace hole and tied them, with some adjusting they work perfectly fine now.

Same experience. Ran in the Pegs all through college but the 36 sucks. My foot slips constantly, not to mention they wore down incredibly quickly. Come on Nike

re: Heel slippage

I sold them, I were totally fed up whit it. Never gonna buy a Nike running shoe again.

I bought the Asics Cumulus 22, very sleek design and lightweight. Enough room at the front and excellent heel lockdown. I always run in Asics in the past. I heard so many good things about the great Pegasus. I thought by myself, let's try something different. But it's definitely not a shoe for me.
