This Peg update is all about the little details that make the fit all the more comfortable. In addition to the roomy toe box, the updated upper of the Peg 38 gives your foot a nice hug with an internal sockliner, internal heel counter and a cushioned tongue. “It has a thick padded tongue, supportive cushion around the ankle and the internal heel counter feels really secure,” says one reviewer. He particularly liked the more rounded shape of the toe box in the Peg 38, saying, “The toe box doesn’t taper in too much on the lateral side which is fantastic in reducing the chances of getting any irritation around the little toe.” The Nike Pegasus 38 uses an engineered mesh upper to provide lightweight breathability to the shoe, creating an overall airy feel on the run.

“It is nice and snug at the heel, opens up at the midfoot, and opens up at the toe box.” “The upper is breathable and has that “triangular” shape that I’ve come to expect from the Peg,’ he says. Designers opened the toe box up more with the 38 and gave it a more rounded shape for additional room. One reviewer who is a long-time Nike Pegasus wearer appreciates the open geometry of the Pegasus. While the Pegasus design is pretty consistent, there was a noticeable narrowing of the toe box between the Peg 36 and 37 update.

The new Pegasus 38 focuses on providing wearers with a more dialed in, supportive fit throughout the upper.
