mas mura si youth size pero mas firm ang foam ni YS. May additional foam yung pang adult. Tried to compare din side by side sa store mas malambot si adult

They switched the heel drop from around 9 to 11. It started absolutely killing my knees

Nike Pegasus 41s are also great

Nike Pegasus 41 for me

Reddit— neutral

I have 1080v12 and I use them daily. They're so soft and comfortable for me that I found myself choosing over my Nike Pegasus 41 and Asics Gel Kayano 31!

The Nike Pegasus 41 feel like a higher drop in my opinion, it hurts my knees a bit and the cushioning is less comfort compared to the Pegasus 39 and 40

NIKE PEGASUS 41: STYLISH...has more cushion in the heel compared to the forefoot so if you struggle with pain in your balls of feet I wouldn't get these. The foam or midsole in the shoe also breaks down quickly for me

That shoe smashed up my right toes so badly. When I did my Duathlon a few weeks ago there was blood that soaked through the sock and shoe.

I have both Nike Pegasus 41 and Nike Vomero 17. Nike Vomero 17 is much more comfortable compared to Pegasus 41

Nike's Pegasus 41 if you like Nike's arch support (I personally don't, as my right foot don't really fit well with it)

used Nike Pegasus 41 and had lower feet pain and ankle pain. Switched to sauconys Tempus and my pain went away

I personally like the Nike Pegasus range

I am currently wearing the nike pegasus 41, but I have heard recommendations ranging from super cushioned shoes to reduce the impact all the way to minimalist barefoot shoes to strengthen my feet and that super cushioned ones lead to more joint issues

Also have Nike Pegasus 41, on recommendation from a friend (finally a Nike that works for my wide feet). This was the main alternate to the Norda, for when I need more cushion

Nike Pegasus 41, and Saucony Ride 16. I like Novablast 5 the most and keep going back to it

I ordered Nike Pegasus 41 in 37.5 because they did not come in 37. And they were too small

I just got the Nike Pegasus 41 and they are great I just started running 2 months ago. If you have the money id recommend those. They are great for running and everyday use

I own a pair of Nike Pegasus 41, but I reserve them for leisure time, not running

I have Nike Pegasus 41, and don't like them. They don't provide enough cushion for me.

I ended up ordering a second pair. I also ordered on my own before getting the 880s, and before knowing anything about how shoes feel because I started running seriously last month and was excited to just get stuff, the Nike Pegasus 41 and some winflow 11s, and turned both of those into hiit shoes

I would suggest Nike Pegasus 41 for your dad. I was looking for shoes for my dad as well, turned 60 this year. We tried a lot of shoes and this was something that he was most comfortable with
