Running Times states the heel toe drop on the Nike Pegasus 31 is 14mm....Running Warehouse and Nikes web site have it at 10mm. Does anyone know what it really is? If you are currently running in the Pegasus 31 and previously ran in the 30 do you notice a difference in stack height?
I find the ride of the Pegasus 31 to be a little lower to the ground than past versions, and the shoe is lighter and more flexible than the Pegasus 30. I've never concerned myself with stack height, but I didn't notice any achilles pain or anything going to the 31 from the 30. To me, there's less cushion in the 31, but that's not always a bad thing.
If you're a longtime wearer of the Pegasus you'll probably be fine in the 31. You're probably used to slight variations between different versions. If the Pegasus 30 was your first Pegasus and you fell in love with it, you might not like the 31 so much.
In the continuum of running shoes, the 31 is more like lightweight cushioned shoes like the Brooks Launch and Adidas Boston and the 30 is more like mid-range cushioned shoes like the Asics Cumulus or Adidas Supernova Glide.
I'd love to tell you but they made the toe box so bizzarly narrow, I cant get my foot in.
The last ones I had (29s) were nearly too roomy, these are completely too small.
True, that's why I left Pegasus.

I just ordered a pair from east bay in narrow width. I found the 29s wide but now I'm thinking they might be too narrow.
Nikes used to be narrow then they started getting wide about ten years ago.

Running Times measures with the insole included.
These are great shoes.

This.
Also, they are narrower than the 30 and 29, but for me that is a good thing. The 31 fit me better, so its a matter of foot shape and size.

I've been wearing Pegasus from Model 26 through 31, and I really didn't notice any difference in drop.
When I first got the 31s, I kept getting a hot spot on top of my foot, near the ankle, but I think it was from lacing too tight.
Toe box seems the same to me too.
I've been running in Pegasus for a few years, and these seem to ride lower than the 30. Not bad a thing, just a little different. They're still very comfortable and smooth. A little more flexible, and a little less heel cushion. I bled through the heels in my first long run in them, but now that they're broken in they've been great.
I started in the 31s a month ago and developed a really bad case of medial tibial stress syndrome. I didn't get injured in the 30s at all, so I wonder why the 31s caused it.
They lower in the heel but same at the toes. So runningwarehouse has it right as usual.

I can confirm this as well. It is 10mm, and that includes the sock liner.
cushioned, high heeled trainers are a scam
I was wearing Brooks Ghost 6 and was having terrible calf and shin issues - switched to the pegasus 31 and they went away. I wore Kinvaras a while back and loved those too.
I love this shoe and never have worn Nikes before.
I also wear a 9.5 EE and they fit wonderfully and have plenty of toe box room.
A++ review
Worst update in recent memory.
I was averaging 80 mpw in Pegasus 28,29,30's. I got the 31's and while they didn't feel great I figured I'd give them a chance, after about 200 miles I realized I made a big mistake. In the few weeks I ran in the 31's I developed several lower leg/ankle/achilles/foot issues. At this point I'm down to 30 mpw trying to figure out what to wear. Currently rehabbing in Altra's, goofy looking shoes but I am improving. Really not sure where to go next.
It's made out of people?

Possibly try the more cushioned Vomero or even possibly try the lightweight and not as bulky looking Huaka by Hoka.
