Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41 Shoes

Description

Upper: Breathable forefoot mesh that accommodates metatarsal movement, backed by a firm external heel counter to keep the calcaneus bone aligned over the midsole.
Midsole Cushioning: High-rebound ReactX foam stack paired with dual Air Zoom units designed to absorb vertical landing forces and reduce shock loads on knees and ankles.
Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Structured foam sidewalls and midfoot webbing provide inherent neutral support, preventing excessive arch sink under load.
Outsole: Broad, full-contact rubber sole mapped to eliminate localized pressure spots under the heel and forefoot metatarsals.

Key Features & Benefits

Joint Shock Mitigation: ReactX foam and Air Zoom pods buffer continuous surface strikes to lower impact stress on ankles and knees.
Midfoot Support System: Internal webbing bands wrap the arch securely to reduce strain along the plantar fascia.
Grounded Heel Alignment: Rigid heel counter cradles the rearfoot to maintain proper gait alignment from strike to toe-off.
Removable Footbed: Factory sockliner removes easily to fit custom medical orthotics or arch support insoles.

Sizing & Fit Advice

Fits True to Size (TTS). The removable sockliner easily accommodates custom orthotics; select wide options if using thick custom inserts.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).
Recommended Fitting Margin:
Casual / Lifestyle Sneakers: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.
Performance Running / Basketball: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for movement clearance and to prevent toe impact.

Nike Signature Fit & Characteristics

Fit Profile: Nike shoes generally feature a snug, athletic wrap around the midfoot and heel. Models like the Air Max, Pegasus, and Mercurial series tend to fit narrower than brands like New Balance or Brooks.
