The snug forefoot with its shallow and pointy toe-box will be a turn-off for many. On the other hand, there are several reasons why some runners will end up disliking the Pegasus Turbo. The toe-box is pointy and shallow, and there are no additional widths if you wanted one. The upper fits very securely, although the insides run warm due to the completely sleeved design. The heel-to-toe stacking of both the foams produces a very consistent ride quality. The React foundation acts as a barrier against excessive midsole compression, and this means that the ZoomX softness and React resilience work in perfect tandem. The Pegasus Turbo is very easy on your feet when you’re running longer miles. More on this to follow in our ride break-out. Given the uneven spread of ZoomX, the end cushioning experience will depend on your footstrike.Ĭontrary to what the external paint-job suggests, ZoomX isn’t spread evenly along the length of the shoe this results in the said difference. And when you dial up the speed knob, the ride turns more efficient while the React foam prevents the shoe from bottoming out. If you’re going slow, the ZoomX topping feels deliciously lively. The soft ZoomX foam is used judiciously over the base layer of React foam, thus imparting it with a pleasantly sophisticated ride character. Its 8-ounce weight helps it disappear over the foot during runs. There are many areas where the Pegasus Turbo performs extremely well. There has never been a ‘one-shoe-fits-all’ formula. The Turbo epitomizes the intensely personal nature of running shoes. There’s no middle ground here runners either love it or hate it equally. Very few running shoes have polarized opinions to the extent the Pegasus Turbo has. This is going to be a very long review, so let’s quickly complete the ritual of summarizing the shoe beforehand. Thanks to the delay, we have over 100 miles on the Pegasus Turbo and a better-informed perspective. So if we had reviewed the Turbo back then, we would likely have presented a skewed opinion. Our relationship with the shoe has been a love-hate-love kind, ever since our first run in the Pegasus Turbo last year. In hindsight that turned out to be a good thing. As you can see, things did not turn out as planned. We purchased the Pegasus 35 Turbo in early October and had originally planned to publish this review the following month.
