[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tested these running shoes on my favorite trail. This trail is a mix of mostly packed dirt when it’s dry, or mud when it’s rainy, a little gravel, sand and some rocky areas. I also used them on my regular running trail which is mostly gravel and dirt/mud. The shoes felt light and comfortable, springy. The shoe looks nice. The design of the bottom of the shoe is good for gripping all kinds of terrain. I haven’t gone hiking in them yet but I imagine they will do well. I really like the way they feel on, very comfortable right away! I highly recommend these shoes for running wherever the trail takes you!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these running shoes. They feel like I’m walking on pillows. I have knee problems so finding a good shoe to walk or run in can be tricky sometimes especially with wide feet. The memory foam feeling adds great support for that, It feels great on my knees. These are definitely wide foot friendly. However they have surpassed all expectations. They are light weight and have great ventilation as the sneakers are mesh like material which I love so my feet aren’t so sweaty.Also makes for easier cleanings. I would definitely recommend these and I would get them again!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m loving the wide toe box on these trail shoes. They give my toes room to spread out and help me feel steadier. They have enough cushion without losing stability on rocky terrain. A good amount of tread meant I wasn’t slipping when my runs were on wet terrain. The fit is good right out of the box, but with my high arches I didn’t want to tighten the top row of laces too much. The fabric is breathable, my feet stayed cool on my runs. I like the loops on the heel for clipping these shoes to the outside of my bag when they are dirty. Overall a great trail shoe!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Women’s Nike ACG Pegasus Trail is a well-crafted trail shoe that delivers excellent comfort, durability, and overall performance. The cushioning provides a smooth, supportive feel for long walks, hikes, or everyday wear, while the rugged outsole offers reliable traction across a variety of surfaces. Its quality construction is evident in the materials and fit, giving the shoe a sturdy yet comfortable feel that holds up well over time. The shoe is versatile and dependable, making it a great choice for both outdoor adventures and casual use. My only criticism is that I wish the color options were more exciting, as the all-black design feels a bit plain compared to the otherwise outstanding look and performance of the shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying how comfortable these shoes are! Super easy to put on and they stay on while running! I love that they’re not super narrow at the toe area like some running shoes, my toes can breathe and allows me to feel more comfortable running. They have great cushion at the bottom that allow a boost/little jump when you’re running for support. The bottom has tracks that allow you to run on different surfaces and not slip. The grip really well. I do wish they had more color ways, as the ones they have aren’t my favorite but the shoe itself is definitely worth if you’re a cross country runner or like to run ion different surfaces. True to size!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These ACG Pegasus shoes are the perfect hybrid of hiking shoes and the original Pegasus Zoom running shoes. They are comfortable and feel amazing, but they also have that needed tread for dirt roads. I go walking and running a lot in the woods, but my running shoes are not enough for the rough terrain, and my hiking shoes feel too heavy and overkill. The fabric has been easy to clean, and the all-black color makes it even easier to maintain. I am excited for these shoes, especially on those day after some rain, when you need the extra traction.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just what my sore feet needed. I’m getting back into running in my early 40’s and I could not find a shoe that offered an equal balance of support and comfort. In all honesty I have not had luck in the past with Nike’s but these shoes brought me back. People always say “it feels like you’re walking on clouds” I’ve never experienced it until I got these Pegasus trail shoes. They are unbelievably comfortable. I went out my first day and ran 2 miles without discomfort. They are very lightweight so it doesn’t feel like carrying a weight on your foot. Super breathable. The black on black is pretty sharp and it feels like there is a good amount of support in the balls of my feet where I have a collapse issue. Overall I would buy them over and over again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Nikes felt like they were made for my feet. As a wide foot it’s usually hard to fit into most Nikes now but boy was I happy with these. Felt extra sturdy with a firm yet cloud like support. The black on black design was sharp. Works well for work in the hospital and trail running as they show no dirt which is a nice change of pace. The upper was very breathable and sturdy enough to battle scuff mark. Honestly I have used these for trail runs, road runs and working full ten hour shift on my feet at a level 1 trauma center. My feet have never felt so good after long activity. These are the best Nikes I’ve had in years. Definitely would recommend over and over.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to get an all black pair because it matches a lot of outfits. This is my first pair of Nikes and I’m very happy with them! They are very comfortable. The fit is perfect. They offer a lot of flexibility while not lacking support. They also have a lot of traction. I really appreciated those benefits while hiking. I can tell the laces are very high quality. They are easy to tighten and stay snug, yet still untie very easily. I never realized how bad my regular shoe laces were until trying Nikes. There’s an interesting component on the back of the shoe which I’ve never seen before. It seems like a shoe lace that is sewn in and it makes it really easy to pull the shoes on. Why don’t all shoes have these?? I only wish the sole was slightly more padded. Nevertheless, I’m very happy with these shoes!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really happy with the W Nike ACG Pegasus Trail. The fit feels true to size and comfortable right out of the box. They have enough cushioning to stay comfortable on longer walks and workouts, while still feeling supportive. I really like the design. They have that sporty look but are still easy to wear with everyday outfits. The materials feel durable and breathable, and I appreciate that they don’t feel too heavy. What I like most is how versatile they are. I’ve used them for walking, running errands, and being active outdoors, and they’ve been comfortable every time. The traction has also been great.
