Nike Pegasus 39 Full Review

[@mattycmbs]

In my experience pegs always come into their own on light trails through the warmer months. They also make for perfect walking shoes once they’re past their best, great value for money

[@justcotchin1539]

Great vid as always. For those heavier runners (80kg +) I find the 39s - and react foam in general - to be both soft and snappy even at slower paces. Ben and the other KZbinrs don’t generally talk to how much runner weight can impact the feel of a foam so just one to bare in mind.

[@kokainakralj]

which one from Nike in that case u would recommend ?

[@008jes]

is this a good thing or bad thinng?

[@Richard_Johnson69]

Agreed with your comments about youtubers......however Kofuzi review of this shoe is far more through than Ben's

[@thememedealer5301]

​@@008jes ik its an old comment but in case you still dont know, its a good thing since heavier people have heavier legs ofc so a snappier shoe helps them run easier

[@maxaandesson]

Great video! The fact that you always stay true and pay for shoes with your own pocket makes us take your opinion and reviews more serious!

[@laurainthehaute918]

💯! Couldn’t agree more❤️

[@MiracleWarriors]

I'm extremely satisfied with my Pegasus 39 FlyEase . It is much better then the normal Pegasus 38 in every aspect : it is quite a lot lighter weight, more stable, no overheating, looks better , more comfortable for running and casual uses too.

[@michaelbland1982]

Great review Ben. I’ve run many miles in the peg 34,36,37 and 38. I preferred the peg37 simply because of the less-plush tongue. They are great value daily trainers. I can’t wait to try the new 39s!

[@lauraf5390]

My first running shoe was the Pegasus 36, loved them! As I ran more , the toe box proved to be just too narrow for me.

[@bilalkhodari4123]

My favorite pegasus model ever is the pegasus turbo 2 followed by the 37 that serves so well as an all around shoe

[@ericreese20]

Ben, you've been killing it on youtube lately. Keep it up. If possible, do a video on your cycling training and your thoughts about doing solely cycling as a substitute for running and how you could supplement cycling to increase running fitness. Love to hear your thoughts on it

[@BenParkes]

It’s coming up! Nearly finishing writing the script.. hopefully get it recorded for next weekend. Thank you! 😀

[@priscilliaippersiel3700]

Love my Pegasus 33 and 34 they've helped me train and enjoy the back of the shoe and the width. Been reliable.

[@daydreambeliever7611]

I can remember my dad buying his first nike pegasus back in the very early 80s and holding them aloft and saying I will knock minutes of my PB lad with this new show. Before the nike pegasus they was not a running shoe it was the first one a ture classic

[@toby9999]

I had one of those. Now wondering how the latest compare? From reviews, not so good?

[@jeremywienert5129]

Had the Pegs since 34. Reliable for me in Australia for a general every day run shoe along with fairly good durability from weather. Good value for money

[@F35TAR]

Been using pegasus 37 shield for nearly a year since Jan 2022 running roughly 4k a day and they been amazing . Ordered peg 39 and vaporfly today as they was on offer can't wait to try them

[@freddiebrown9488]

Just an observation: if it's less comfortable at your recovery pace, but fine at your easy pace, it's quite possible that for the majority of us it still won't be comfortable at our easy pace. Our easy pace is probably not as fast as yours...Maybe I speak for myself, but it's a consideration.

[@jamesadamson7821]

Loving the fact the tune at the end has been brought back!!!! 😊

[@ml3609]

i have only run in the 37 (both regular and shield model). I do not like the regular 37, but the 37 shield is really really good when there snow out and all during the winter or during wet conditions and keeps my feet dry and fits better than the regular 37.

[@pallavi8388]

Great review Ben,My first running shoe was peg 38, watched your review and ordered them on the spot, got 500k on them still looks in perfect condition although got hotspots on that shoe. Totally agree on shat you said that pegs don’t provide that extra speed. Will jump to brooks or NB.

[@SharukhSaifi]

Bro are you talking about your car mileage?

[@runningwithdr.andrewdpt9177]

Great video!! I have only ran in the 37 and 38. I liked the 38s better. It has more room for my toes. Both shoes were good. I put 1,000 miles in the 37s and 950 in the 38s. I agree the zoom x would be great in the Pegasus.

[@80sruler]

Those are my go to daily shoes - I find the taller stack, squishy models to be sort of unstable feeling. This are pretty low to the ground, not much drop and still cushioned

[@assordante2205]

I have worn the 38's for the last 6 months. I noticed that I have to be meticulous with the way I lace them up. My right foot specifically, the heel with slide to the left inside the shoe. I have figured out to take my time to ensure that my heel is locked down and ensure the tightness of the laces is tight and uniform between the two shoes.

[@dallan7740]

Last Pegasus I had were the 37s and I didn't get on with them at all. Could really feel the pod at the front and didn't like it. And then about 100 miles in, it popped! Had to bin them after that. I looked for an alternative and found the Puma Velocity Nitro which I absolutely loved. Have nearly worn them through and will be getting the updated version next.

[@victorc2520]

I love the Pegs 37 (and still use them in my rotation) and don’t like the Velocity Nitro 2 which feels like a brick, no responsiveness and a bit heavy.

[@joelmead]

I've only had the Pegasus 37 shield. It was a big dissapointment and dropped out of my rotation quickly. The upper was so tight fitting (even for my narrow feet) and the heel was so poor with tonnes of slipping. My mach 4s were and are my absolute favourites and between these shoes it is night and day. This peg looks great for a muddy winter parkrun though. Thanks for the review Ben!

[@kmilou2244]

I think the 28 was the best personally, the fit and stability under foot. I tried more pegasus over the years but none really great, just good. That's until Peg turbo 2 came out, which renewed my love for running.

[@garethmaccauley3507]

I’m impressed they created colours to match your top

[@Zzyzx-]

Only tried Peg35. Love them for their vertasility. Great allrounder, and I love that they can be used on light trails aswell. The grip is great both in terrain and on wet/slippery surfaces. In trail runs that does not demand trails shoes the pegasus is preffered. Also I can use them in the snow when I dont need ice spikes. Comfortable and reasonably priced shoes aswell. They can be used for racing and intervalls also, but I prefer faster shoes for that kind of jogs. :)

[@Zzyzx-]

I still use my 35s with 700kms (soon to be retired I think) and my second pair of 35s has around 50km (bought on sale but started to use them this season).

[@skobodabaws8946]

35 was a jol👌

[@Andrew-AllGood]

I loved the Peg 30+ (the pink Mo Farah version). Probably being sentimental because that was my first proper running shoe. Having said that, other brands have outshined the Pegs in recent years. Nike's Vomero is the new Peg for me since v13.

[@percrunner1433]

I wish they’d bring the 30 back. That was the last Peg I truly loved, though this is a nice 2nd.

[@jjames1949]

I love these review videos, keep up the great work Ben!

[@ajtam05]

I agree. I have the wide version for my feet. It's not soft enough slow, not light or springy enough for tempo/fast, but for moderate pace (stacking the mileage per week) it does its job well. I have Pegasus 39 for everyday easy-to-moderate pace runs, Asics Tri 14 Noosa's for tempo/fast (LOVE them) & getting the New Balance Rebel v4 for max cushion easy/recovery & long runs. I think that'll serve me well! Now...time to figure out which race day shoe to get! :D

[@pauldelaney4186]

Great everyday shoe feels lighter and better than the 38. Lots of shoes in this category though and many with more cushioning and probably a bit more versatile. A solid work horse though. Especially for the price.

[@jorgecastillo8289]

I absolutely love my Nike Pegasus 36 I’ve had for over two years and they have 375 miles and still work great for me when I want to go little bit hard on a long run bottom tread still look like they have another 200+ miles to go on them

[@feezee82]

Last time I bought a Pegasus was around 15 years ago. I use Vaporfly for racing, but prefer to run in Altra shoes on the daily basis.

[@bizzij7305]

Really enjoy the reviews Ben. I have to say though, I am not a fan of these shoes. I find them very uncomfortable and definitely not enough padding, (6'2 and 95k). I found they were particularly thin on cushioning around the ball of my foot and had hotspots and pain for most of the run and it was only an slow 5k. I have decided to upgrade to the Invincible 3, so lets see how much difference it makes.

[@daniels8429]

I had the 38, it was okay - had SOME fun runs in them but on the whole it wasn't the greatest. Didn't find it all that responsive, I'm very tempted by the 39 with all the tweaks they've made and more response.

[@Denverdude7]

I tried the 37's. Definitely needed heal support. May have to give this another try.

[@iammarcjoyce]

Turbo 2 is by far the best version of the Pegasus in my opinion. Gutted when they stopped it 😞

[@stephenrobinson4449]

Completed my third run in the Peg 39. At least I can run in this shoe...the 37 and 38 were unusable for me.The 39 is sooo.. much better. Added to my rotation. Having run in the original Pegasus many decades ago I am glad that Nike has improved the shoe.

[@Вељко-э6с]

Is it good for wide feet?

[@samuelray1777]

@@Вељко-э6сthey make a wide model but color selection is super limited

[@aidanslinn2267]

I've just ordered this shoe! Have to say was a little nervous to watch this.. but now I'm excited! Was happy with he 38, sounds like a decent upgrade!

I like the changes. Let us know how you get on!

What's your thoughts on peg 39?

[@Adam-xx2tz]

Really appreciate and enjoy the shoe reviews 👍

[@neilmahalanobis2051]

Ive ran in the peg 33's. I tried the 34, 35, and 36 but I didnt like how the transition to the forefoot was less aggressive in the newer models

[@rob.gr.1377]

Absolutely right Ben.. comfortable eat miles looks fantastic and all just for £109.. I'm brake 100miles and looks like foam "set" for running.. first 30-60miles hard and stiff.. but now just crusing miles..

[@rachelee31]

Pegasus 36 is still my favorite!!! 37 is not bad... 38 i discovered hotspot in certain areas of my foot :(

[@hummuswithpitta]

blimey Greenwich looks nice this time of year

[@hamoudalnasser]

I agree with your major take here: the Peg is great and versatile because it suits a pace 3/4 of runners are looking for: the Mid range between all out speed work and recovery, to me the sweet spot is always bw 5:30/km to 4:30/km. These new ones run a little faster than the last two versions, but you'll need a dedicated tempo/race shoe for faster paces. They are also the most durable shoes on the market, and can withstand different surfaces better than any other daily runners I've used.

[@Hello-i8h]

Buddy m not a runner can i use it as all day shoe or it will make my feets tired after some hours

[@penphenrin14616]

Still enjoying my 38, vs Next % my feet is comfortable with Peg38

[@frankducett9]

I have been running in all 39 of the issues and by far this is the best. This is the best half marathon choice for this 145 lb. 75 year old in no hurry.

[@ronanvandervaart232]

Well done 100k subs🥳🥳🥳

[@jinlin721]

Great Ben. My favorite is model 34. I use for training even half marathon race for over 1k. I love it. Currently, I also wear a pair of 36 for over 600km. A bit of soft vs 34 but good for daily training runs.

[@carlosblank6629]

We got zoom x in the pegasus already, the Turbo. Then they got rid of it because we liked it so much.

[@Ross_the_Boss_5869]

I used the 38's, and although they look great, I ended up getting Brooks for running. I'm probably going to get a pair of these for day-to-day wear, because they look great and they are comfortable!

[@smokahontas-rex]

Great endorsement in light of returning to running after your ankle fracture, which I hope to do soon also. Thanks!

[@OmahaTonyG]

I like the Pegasus 38, it is a very comfortable shoe and great for training, but it’s heavy.

[@BenParkes]

This one is noticeably lighter.. a welcome change!

[@GAd-x4q]

Hi, my friend, I am not good at speaking your language. Would you allow me to ask simple questions? What do you think of the shoes? Is it comfortable for the feet, for walking exercises for an hour and a half for two days, and also for gym exercises?

[@ABucc]

I would like to see Zoom X foam for version 40.

[@ndi5670]

Great review Ben. New subscriber here. Cheers from the U.S.!

[@Nickswolves]

Hi Ben, you should check out the Puma Velocity Nitro 2, smooth as butter bargain daily with nitro foam 👌🏼

[@isidorusa5322]

I like my pegasus 36. Bought 2 pairs and have 700 km on each pair. Used it on any kind of runs. Looking for a replacement, this pegasus 39 might be it. Had they still sold pegasus 36, I'd have bought my third pair

[@edword7195]

The TC Pegasus was my favourite

[@jonathanweatherill1029]

I used to wear pegasus but just couldn't get away with 37s they caused soles of my feet to burn. I've just exchanged tempo% for zoom fly 4s after bursting the airpods for a second time. Im still undecided on the zoom flys so thinking I might get these pegs in a wide fit. Would be using as a tempo/threshold shoe.

[@ozstriker1984]

The Pegasus turbo 2’s were the greatest shoe ever made! RIP

[@BenParkes]

there are rumours they'll be coming back soon!

[@ozstriker1984]

@@BenParkes don’t tease me Ben. I don’t want to get my hopes up.

[@sray486]

I dont run but I walk 5-6 kms and cycle 8-10kms alternatively. I think it will serve those purpose for me.

[@rafehsaleh]

Thanks for the detailed review.. Why's the premium cheaper than the regular pegasus 39?

[@teng029]

I disagree that the Pegasus needs Zoom X. I don't get why the shoe reviewers think React is outdated. It's not perfect, but it works just fine.

[@tommyfield8449]

Just a question,is this shoes great for long walking distance,for someone who intended to walk long distance(not a hiker,but a walker). Another question,is this good for people with wide feet? Good review & will watch the next one.

[@nishantkadian]

[@nolitamacht1189]

I've been buying Pegs since 2007 but I wish the offset was 6 or 8mm and not 10...

[@tawfeeqismail9279]

I guess I'm one of the few that thinks the pegs are just not that great. They feel heavy and quite flat. I would take the NB1080's over the pegs any day, though it's a bit pricier.

[@BenParkes]

Yes so would I.. just a shame they are so much more expensive! For the price, I feel the Nikes offer good value. These 39’s didn’t feel heavy to me.. and while they are much more responsive than before.. they are still no match for the rivals.

[@Andrew-AllGood]

The 1080 since v10 is just a way better shoe than the Pegs. The premium is totally justifiable in my opinion. The Pegs feels so outdated compared to Asics Novablast, Puma Velocity, Saucony Kinvara, Skechers Ride, etc. Nike's Vomero is the new Peg for me.

[@hes1shot671]

It was perfect, down to the last minute detail. -Homelander

[@QronoZ713]

Eh, the 1080 feels way more sluggish to me. Soft without bounce, and heavier by far!

Great video! The pros and cons are most helpful. I’m no athlete, looking for a comfortable shoe to support my daily HIIT training and occasional jog/walk with friends. I tried them…they’re super comfy and supportive. Thanks! 😊

[@foxbatzehro]

Great video! Just a quick question, I am training for an ultra, what daily trainer would you suggest for my long easy training runs(roughly around 45k to 50k@ slow easy pace around 6:30/km). I have the nova blast and peg 39 for training as of now. Thanks a lot!

You could look at the Nike Invincible or Hoka Bondi if you're looking for something super cushioned. Good luck!
