Shoes don’t get to add 38 to their name unless they’re doing a lot right for a lot of runners. And we can report that the update is a great one, subtly improving on an already excellent all-rounder without putting a foot wrong.' We're fans of the versatility and the comfort of the Pegasus 38, with the same springy React foam for a comfortable ride underfoot. Our Gear Editor, Kerry McCarthy, wrote at the time: 'When Nike puts out a new Pegasus, the brand’s longest-running trainer, you had better believe a lot of thought went into it – especially now that the company has made 37 versions. The 'individual midfoot webbing system' is designed to make pulling the upper tight against your foot easier. The tongue has added foam, which has a plush feel on the top of your foot and minimises any pressure from the laces. Nike has also made changes to the tongue and a slight tweak to the lacing system, both designed to give you a more personalised fit in the shoe. In fact, even testers with narrower feet enjoyed the roomier toebox in the updated shoe. Fans of the Pegasus will find this feels more like the toebox of the Pegasus 36. Our favourite tweak on the 38th version? It may seem small, but we really dig the widened toebox. What has changed from the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37? We'd use this shoe for everything from long runs, to your first 5K. Like the Pegasus 37, the entire midsole uses React foam, so the Pegasus’s ride still feels just as snappy and responsive. (That’s not to suggest female runners require cushier shoes rather Nike made the adjustments to better match women’s gait patterns and comfort preferences.) That pressurised air pocket is tuned to a lower PSI in the women’s version to provide a slightly softer, more forgiving ride. In the forefoot, it features a Zoom Air unit, which is tailored specifically to both shoe size and gender. While this new Peg may look a bit bulkier, the good news is it is every bit as responsive as its predecessor. Nike has also added additional foam to the tongue for a plusher feel.The Pegasus 38 has more room in the toebox – Pegasus fans will find these fit more similar to the 36. ![]() The RW takeaway: The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 is plusher than the 37, making this a comfortable shoe for beginners and easy miles.
