    Absolutely my favorite shoe of all time. I have run in 8+ pairs of these shoes and would recommend them for anyone who runs, all the way from hobby-jogging to hardcore 70+ m/w with speed training. I have NEVER in my 8+ pairs of these had a tear in the material, and I really beat them up. I have a bit wider feet and they accommodate me just fine, have never had any foot problems with them. Finally, they look good! No complaints about the design except MAYBE a little more cushion in the forefoot. 10/10 shoe.

    This is my review of the pegasus 33 running shoes. I haven't been running that long like a lot of people I know and I've only had around 3 pairs of running shoes, so I've been able to run in these shoes for a good amount of time and I love the way they grip the road and have that nice spring to them just gotta get something so they don't smell after my runs. I don't have a lot of money to spend on shoes so I try not to damage them but when you have almost 400km in a shoe over the course of less than a year they tend to wear pretty quick but considering that the shoes hold up very good and I don't think ill be tearing them up any time soon.

    Been running in these since Peg 32's, two pairs of 33's and will be moving on to 34's. Have no problem staying a couple of generations back because nowadays my miles are greatly reduced and 80%+ on relatively non-technical trails. Always comfortable for my high-arched feet, no break-in, no blisters. They just Do IT!

    I have ran my first marathon and my first ultra marathon in these shoes. Needless to say - we have a special bond! Will definitely stick with Nike from now on.

    For me this has been a perfect shoe as I come back from a year-long battle with lower leg injuries. So far this shoe has helped me ease back into running again. I have a pretty neutral gait and am a mid-foot striker. I also have somewhat narrow feet, but this shoe fits me perfectly. It has the right amount, for me, cushion and stiffness. I haven't tried the newer versions of the Pegasus as my mileage is low and I have yet to burn through the two pairs I currently own.

    Been wearing the Pegasus for yeas and years. Good cushioning, not too heavy and a great value.

    Shoe does exactly what it needs to for a neutral running shoe. Nice and comfortable.

    Very good all around shoe. Shoe is firm enough to have good responsiveness. Cushioning is fair but a little firm. Fit is comfortable but not cushy. Outsole is very durable. This shoe is a jack of all trades shoe. It has enough cushioning for most training runs but enough responsiveness for a little faster runs.

    Awesome lightweight upper. Good addition having the air in forefoot and heel. All around great shoe but prefer the vomero for LRs.
