The 36s and 37s felt like fast all-round shoes good for easy miles, tempos, pavement and dirt trails. Now the 38s are back to the old extra cushion in the tongue with a clunky feel (even thought they are lightweight). Why Nike? Why?
Now I need to find a new easy run/tempo shoe. All the fancy vapourflys and next%s are too freakin expensive and unstable on anything other than straight flat paved roads.
Send shoe suggestions A$AP! or send some peg 36s
Ex-college runner here.
Loved the 37’s and trained in those. Just bought a pair of 38’s and not sure what to think quite yet. Not bad so far walking around in them, will see what run feels like. I hated the 36’s but loved the 37’s.
I work at a Fleet Feet and have tried on pretty much every running shoe now and have found the Peg to be one of the better, from a competitive standpoint. Can’t do Hoka’s, I’m not a hospital worker that loves the cush or the low drop on top.
Try the Saucony Ride, very comfy moderate cushion shoe for everyday training. I think they did an outstanding job with the form fit tech.
But shoes are so subjective so up to you to find the best
The 36s were my first pair of Pegs and i hated them. How is itpossible for a shoe to be even clunkier and in what universe are the 36s fast
Man, and here I was liking them! But I'm a hobbyjogger dad.
I also have the 37 and I prefer the thin tongue to the one on the 38s. However, the comfort due to the react foam on the 38s is a game changer. The guy that posted this probably doesn't run enough because once you break in the pegs its a different game. I'd have to admit though, I can get up to speed on the Clifton 7s than the Pegs.

I feel this is the same for every Pegasus model. I used to use Pegasus, owning the 35's and 36's for a couple years, and then I switched to Adidas Boston, which was a game-changer for me. Injuries went away in no time. Then again, it's different for everyone.
Can't remember if I had the 34s or 35s but they were one of my favorite runners of all time. Got the 36s next and man they were awful so that was the last iteration I tried. What clunky feeling shoe
Hyperion tempo, there's no other answer.
