Stack Height: 23mm (forefoot) / 33mm (heel), 10mm offsetĪvailable now in many colors and also in wide. Weighing in at 8.9 ounces, these shoes are a bit heavier, and after four miles or so, I was feeling that added weight.Estimated Weight: men's 9.92 oz / 281g (US9) / women's / (US8) One other catch: They’re actually not as lightweight as you might expect. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but if you know you have wider feet, consider the wide option and sizing up. As I mentioned earlier, I still think these shoes are relatively narrow and squeeze in, hugging my feet like fitted socks. On the website Nike notes that these have a wider toe box than previous models, but if that’s true, I didn’t notice it. The collar of this sneaker (the part that hugs your Achilles heel) is nicely cushioned, so I didn’t have to worry about any blisters or chafing. There’s a smooth, breathable mesh upper that also provided a cooling sensation as I ran-meaning these will be great for logging summer miles. It’s a feeling that encouraged me to run faster (and maybe a little too hot out of the gate during each testing run). There’s a nice bounciness to the midfoot and a breezy, energetic feel each time you push off your step. Though these sneakers are not specifically intended for cross-training, I also wore them for a few bodyweight workouts just to see how they’d hold up in a gym setting. To test this shoe for the 2021 SELF Certified Sneaker Awards, I followed the criteria set by our experts, and then ran in these shoes for three to five miles a few times per week, for about a month. This shoe ticks a lot of boxes and feels like the perfect middle ground between a cushioned training shoe and a speedy racing shoe. The workhorse trainer-which was first introduced in 1983-continues to be a shoe that any runner, at any level, can use and love. It’s on those tough days that I’m especially thankful for shoes like the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38. Blame it on dehydration, lack of sleep, muscle soreness from another workout, or just having a bad day-sometimes running still feels really challenging. I’ve considered myself a runner for well over a decade now, but that doesn’t mean that every run is a fun-filled jaunt around my neighborhood. You can see the rest of our award winners here. This Nike Pegasus 38 review is part of our 2021 SELF Certified Sneaker Awards, where the shoe won Best Marathon Training Sneaker.
