Nike | Women’s Pegasus Plus Road Running Shoes – Bright Crimson

Advice for Road Runners: The Nike Women’s Pegasus Plus Road Running Shoes provide a lot of responsive cushioning. We recommend this Nike model for tempo runs.

In comparison to the ‘standard’ Pegasus, which also provide responsive cushioning, the Pegasus Plus should deliver even more responsiveness and energy return. Watch our Nike Pegasus Plus vs Pegasus 41 YouTube video to find out more.

Underfoot Feel

The midsole will feel light and it will return a lot of energy. This is because it contains a full length section of ZoomX foam – which is Nike’s lightest and most responsive foam. 

When you are running in the Pegasus Plus, you will most likely notice the energy return from the midsole – and this may help you to run at quicker speeds. Helpfully, the high-abrasion rubber on the outsole should help when it comes to maintaining traction on pavements and roads.

Upper Fit

The stretchy Flyknit upper should contour to the shape of your foot – providing a very comfortable fit and minimising the chance of irritation from the upper. A midfoot band helps to keep your foot contained. 

The perforations in the Flyknit upper help to reduce the weight of the shoe and make the Pegasus Plus very breathable.

Ideal Run Type

The Nike Women’s Pegasus Plus Road Running Shoes are likely to be a great choice for your tempo runs. However, this Nike model may also be a very good choice for everyday runs when you want the cushioning in your shoes to feel very responsive. For the avoidance of doubt, the Pegasus Plus are neutral road running shoes.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
