I purchased these based on a recommendation from a friend, and am happy to say they were very right. The style is modern, but not obnoxious. The fit is perfectly snug and without any material corners or edges biting into the foot or ankle. They are super light-weight as well. I've only put a few miles on them, but the main thing I notice is the full length zoom air superiority over the old heel based air system. It's much more comfortable and the cushioning is transition from front to back through the weight transfer is great so far!

In my opinion Nike has made some great improvements to the classic peg. They kept the sole/bottom the same, but made some changes to the upper. The new upper is more breathable and hugs the foot like a glove. The shoe feels lighter than the 35s and not as bulky. On hot summer runs my 35s were usually soaked with sweat and took a couple of days to dry out. I've been running in 90+ degree days in the 36s and I do not have this problem. Also i did not like the tongue in the 35s and I am glad the Nike as shorten the tongue so it doesn't rub against my ankle. Overall, A+ for a daily trainer shoe.

I’ve purchased the *Miami version through the Nike run club. Believe in the spiritual matters towards fashion. Great pair of shoes and is allowing me to activate my genetic potential to full capacity while connecting me to the ocean of Miami, Florida. I can feel the Hydro-Current deep-down beneath my feet while running and the attracted particle’s I can store in my soul for later usage. Technically speaking-not very experienced but offers great cushion and endurance capacity + stabilization to what I’ve already accomplished when developing the base skeletal, nerve structure, and muscle capacity in my activated feet network; looks fantastic too. I can’t wait to run each day while training for the Chicago Marathon!

I have been in Pegs since the 23s and have loved virtually every pair I have owned. I was ready to rate this as the greatest of the bunch when I got 75 miles into the shoe. It is extremely comfortable, light, and breathes exceptionally well. The support is just about perfect to me and the fit is true to what I expect from Pegasus since about the 30s. However... at the end of 80 miles, the tread wore off of the back of both shoes and I am now running on the foam. I have never had a Pegasus fail so quickly. I am used to getting 400 miles+ from each pair, but the rubber outsole is extremely thin at the outside edge of this shoe and it is now completely gone. The rubber tread under the toe box is also wearing much faster than expected. I will move to the 37s soon, ... MoreI have been in Pegs since the 23s and have loved virtually every pair I have owned.

I will move to the 37s soon, hopefully, since it looks like the outsole is thicker, though I may try the 36 trail running shoes instead, since it appears to have a proper thick rubber on the tread.
I walk about 10 miles daily and have experienced a lot of foot pain with other shoes I've worn. My favorites were the Nike Air Zoom Streak 7 which are no longer made. I've gone thru two pair of those in the past year. I've searched and searched for a shoe that is as lite and comfortable as the Streak 7 shoes were. Finally, I discovered the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36. My foot is slightly wide and the Pegasus shoes are naturally a bit wide. So far, I've put about 90 miles on this pair and I have experienced no foot pain or discomfort at all. So, after trying out at least 6 different shoes, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 is my new go to shoe when I go for my daily walk.
Okay, big Nike running shoe fan who loved the Peg 35!!! I bought a pair of the Peg 36 thinking the updates were minimal (thinner tongue, upper mesh material, slightly wider toe box). However, after finishing my second run (6 miles total) I had some discomfort on the inside portion of my ankle - just below the ankle bone. After comparing with my Per 35s I realized that the upper is cut differently from the heel counter to the top lace holes. It is definitely higher on the Peg 36 and runs right up against my ankle bone. I have at least a half inch to spare on the Peg 35. I experienced after the first run too but thought it was simply due to break in. I don't know why you messed with this one too much Nike! My understanding was that the Peg 35 was loved by the majority ... MoreOkay, big Nike running shoe fan who loved the Peg 35!!!

My understanding was that the Peg 35 was loved by the majority of people and now I cannot run in the Peg 36. I understand and can live with some of the changes but why mess with the cut of the upper in that area?!? Fortunately I was able to score a couple pairs of the Peg 35s online...and at a discount. I'll post some pics if I can.
So these shoes just came in the mail and am already loving them! They are very comfortable and springy, but firm enough to have support. The design, especially the oversized Swoosh, I love. Also, the shoes have grayish parts on it if you get the black and white pair. Since I haven’t really worn them yet, I don’t know how durable they are. I’m a size 13 and, if you like a snug fit, these are it. They are not cramped for me, just fits like a glove. I own Air Force 1 Reacts, and are as comfortable. I suggest these over the 37s to save $30.
I'm torn, I want to like these shoes. They are light, and incredibly comfortable. Also like the minimalist style, that's subtle enough to go from the gym to a night out. However, they've fallen apart in barely six months--the first time that has happened with any NIke shoes. What's surprising is it's not even the only pair of shoes in the rotation, so it's not like I'm pounding them daily. I like Nike and order a lot of clothes and shoes direct from nike.com, I'm eyeing another pair of different style shoes to replace this for workouts...but I'm hesitating a bit now because if the nike shoes are just for street fashion (nothing wrong with that) rather than performance, it's important to know.
The Pegasus line has been my go-to shoe for training and racing. For the fit of my foot, they seem perfect but everyone is different. They are rated to last over 300 miles but frankly, I feel a difference after 200. I have run two marathons in Pegasus' and continue without issue. Great for track and the road but I highly caution you to not take them on any kind of trail or to do any kind of cross-training as lateral support is non-existent and you will twist your ankle. Strickly running only. All in all, it's light enough shoe with some durability in the inherent design.
And what you get is a comfortable, well-constructed shoe. I've been buying various Nike workout shoes for about 7-8 years now. It started with take the Nike Training Club classes (NTC) that were offered near me. They would let you try various shoes at the workouts... that sold me after years of not buying Nike products. Since then, I've been using the Nike Free shoes and Pegasus running shoes. I no longer need to go to the physical store because they always fit just right. Maybe I'm lucky? Or, maybe Nike got it right.No product/service is perfect so I do have a suggestion. The shoes outlast the insoles. It would be great if Nike included a second set of insoles with the shoes or at least made them available to purchase separately. Instead, I've had to research and ... MoreAnd what you get is a comfortable, well-constructed shoe. I've been buying various Nike workout shoes for about 7-8 years now.
