This doesn’t mean it can’t pick up the pace when you need it to it just means old-school Pegasus fans might pine for the firmer snap of the Pegasus 36 on faster days. The Pegasus 38 was absolutely brilliant during my warm-up and for easy miles, but unlike other versions of the Pegasus, it didn’t have the same energy return during faster sessions.

Out of the box, the Pegasus 38 was extremely comfortable I found I was able to run in it straight away, with no pressure or blisters. (Image credit: Nike) Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 review: Performance The laceless design allows all athletes to slip the shoe on and off with one hand using the zip, and then tighten the webbing across the foot for the perfect fit. The Pegasus 38 features Nike's Flyease entry system. The shoe looks great on and off the run, making it a popular choice for runners who want a shoe they can wear in the gym or on hikes at the weekend (although this might shorten the life of the running shoe). Right out of the box, it’s a comfortable shoe and should fit most runners well (unless you have an especially high instep or wide foot). The Pegasus 38 fits true to size (although, as with all running shoes, it’s worth sizing up compared to your daily trainer).

They’ve also fixed the shallow heel cup of the Pegasus 37, which many runners found caused blisters on the run. In fact, the only real differences between the Pegasus 37 and the Pegasus 38 can be found in the fit and the upper - the toe box is wider, the laces do up slightly differently and there’s cushioning beneath the tongue for a comfier fit.

Like the Pegasus 37, the Pegasus 38 contains Nike’s responsive React foam, which is lightweight and offers a good amount of underfoot cushioning.
