The new Nike Pegasus Trail 2 is an awesome and complete overhaul of an already enjoyable trail rendition of the popular road shoe. What do you think of the dramatic changes? Are you excited to give the Pegasus Trail 2 a try or will you be passing on it for something else?
In terms of fit, I usually wear size 11 but I went with a size 11.5 in the wildhorse 6 which fit great. But in these should I get a 11 or 11.5 ?
@@raya5090 I'm an 11 across the board and didn't have to alter that with these.
I ordered them the day they released, I think I’ve gotten almost 50 miles on them as I’ve rotated them with the peg 37’s. I love them so far, super comfy for my middle distance runs.
That’s gonna be a nope from me
@@TheGingerRunner excellent
I just took my pair out yesterday for my first run back on trails since February. Over the past few months of road running I've fallen in love with the Pegasus Turbo 2's and the Pegasus 37 road shoes so I figured, why not complete the trifecta with the Trail Peggies? I agree with everything you said in this video. Super soft and comfy and a lot of fun. But I did have issues getting the shoe locked down and as a result of the extra width felt like my feet were sliding around a few times. And also felt like the ride was pretty high which led to some stability issues further into the run. But, that being said, I'll wear these shoes until they are completely worn out. I am a big fan of what's happening here and am excited to log more miles in them. Thanks for the review Ethan!
This channel is dangerous! I can't stop ordering shoes!! Lol!
😂 lols. same.
THANK YOU, for including metric values like grams in this review.
I understand and respect that your conus audience is fluent in ounce. But for the rest of the world, gram is more descriptive and I for one appreciate that you make the effort to include grams for our viewing pleasure.
dave c You don’t get it do you. Of course I could Google it, and have done so on numerous occasions. But this time I did not have to, since Mr Newberry was gracious enough to include it in his video, hence my thank you message.
Now move along and let the grown ups talk.
Returning to training from the COVID just to find the new Peggy Trail has gained more weight than myself 😂
This shoe is the real deal. Out the box, I was in love. 40 miles later, I’m really in love. If I had one complaint, it’s a tad heavy. 40g heavier than my Pegasus 36 Trail.
How was the fit? Feel bigger/smaller than the size you are?
QLMNAUYJVEWRH I have the same curiosity
@@Barry-Sweaty I got them. I'm a size 10 and bought them. When you first put them on they feel a little tight but after the first run it will feel perfectly fine. VERY COMFORTABLE.
Sorry, yeah true to size for me!
My impression is that Nike is capitalizing on/using the React foam in a lot more shoes, raising stack heights and forefoot heights/widths, and increasing weight accordingly so as to meet the current desires of runners for all the above. All while growing the choices and staying in the ~$130 range (think Trail 2 and react Miler).
Just bought a pair and was pleasantly surprised. I usually don’t run trails and haven’t run in Nike shoes in a long time (usually run on the road in Hoka shoes). But the Pegasus Trail 2 served as a nice commuter shoe for me to run from my home to the Colorado foothill trails about a mile away. I did a nice easy 6-mile run, and it was really comfortable in the shoes. The React Foam was soft and had a bit of spring to it. Like others said, they are a bit heavy, but for what I’m doing out there, it’s not a big deal. Always appreciate the reviews here and haven’t been steered wrong yet.
Don't get me wrong.. I like the channel very much and respect the work you put bringing us this reviews but 333gr size 42-43 is a no no for me... It is extremely heavy..and all that for a shoe that is not meant for super technical terrain but rather for mild trails! I simply don't see why, definitely better options out there...
Hey!
I'm researching these for Park Run 5k, and you're making me feel inadequate with how into trail running you are!! But in a good way, it's motivating me to do more.
Thanks for such a great review.
Ran in high school, Nikes always fit me best. Went from Nike Air Max to Triax to finally the Structure in my older age. This year I started actually running consistently and bought a pair of React Infinity Run Flyknits and LOVE them, but they're not great on trails. More of a road shoe, so today I bought a pair of these. I'm really looking forward to lots of long runs through the trees!
I'm thinking this may be a good shoe for buffed out trails where stability may not be as important.
You failed to mention they departed from the zoom air unit. Pegasus are legacy kicks. They used to be full-length zoom/tensile (forever)...then the road when to just forefoot and now these trials removed the air unit altogether. Personally, I would have kept a full-length Zoom and let the React complement the air unit for midsole damping. The Air unit means = constant damping and constant return for the life of the shoe. Foam slowly dies over time. Air might be old tech but is the best technology for damping midsole material. ...and last I checked, a zoom air unit weighs less per unit volume vs the React foam. ...they could have the best of both worlds. This version could use a diet on weight! I currently run in the 36 Trails now and will likely buy a couple of pair and wait for gen 3. It does look interesting and the fact that you said it can take you through an ultra makes me want to try them out. I think the P36T are good for 15-20 miles max. (I tried Altra for a while but Nike has won me back)
OK, I also have Peg 36 Trail, would like to know if you got a pair of Trail 2, and what are your comments. Agree on the air unit, also have Winflow 7, and see what you mean. Still wanna know if there is a noticeable difference, thanks!
@@markmoscosa2371 I did purchase the New Trail 2 (plus some an older Wildhorse)!
I have to admit the full React foam midsole is very responsive. The overall shoe is heavier than I want but I am impressed. If I'm Nike, the next gen should have 6-8mm drop, a full-length zoom air in the insole (sock liner), and a carbon plate integrated into the midsole. It will act as a stone guard and give some amazing return with each step (small leaf spring). I also felt like the toe box was a little more open/wider which was a big step for Nike. I already made these suggestions to Nike Corporate office (likely to fall on deaf ears coming from a guy who designs adventure and survival gear, but I have a passion for running and love tech and innovation) good luck on the trails! There is a 1/2 marathon in Yellowstone by Vacation Races. I plan on running that in these Pegesus trails (I also want to do GC rim to rim in them).
Thanks for your review, I love the Pegasus 36 Trail, along with the Pegasus 36 road shoe, I have 2 pair of each. I recently got a pair of the Pegasus 37 and like it as well. It is a bit different to the 36, it lacks a bit of the responsiveness of the 36, but is a better long run shoe, for me at least. The Pegasus Trail 2 sounds like a very different shoe, not just an update, which is a bit disappointing, for me at least. Also, go back into the history of the Pegasus line, several versions in the 90s were over 12 oz, so Nike has form in this regard. I suspect they will fix the weight issue in the 3 or 4. I am not fat-shaming the shoe, but for 100k and 100mi ultras, weight really does matter, especially when there is a lot of vert involved. I am looking at a 105k trail ultra in 4 weeks, with over 3000m (Not ft) of vert, the 105mi has a lot more. Having to drag the extra weight up the mountain and the saddle behind it every lap (5 or 8 times depending on which 100 you do) will take a toll at the back end.
Great review 👍🏻. Really undecided now between ANOTHER pair of Speedgoat4, Timp 2.0 or now these....(first 100 miler in October)
This pair arrived today and I'm mega impressed. I love trail walking /slight jog as I have 2 types of arthritis. It's got the right amount of sqwish for my joints to cope in the day to day walking about on roads. In my job I go between dirt/grass/gravel with a camber. Thanks for a great review
What a brilliant channel. Subscribed.
I'm lovin' the reviews, great technical analysis and very entertaining. I just bought a pair of these bad boys. Awesome shoe...but that upper, needs to be muuuuuch more robust, what were Nike thinking.
I can’t say my Peg 36s were my favorite trail shoe but they got the job done just not as well as some of my Atras and most definitely not as well as my Salomons. With that said where my pegs have excelled is on the road. I have over 600 road miles in these shoes and don’t see getting any other shoes for a while. I’ve been really impressed with their durability. As for the Peg 2s I’m not sure? If I did give them a go it would most likely be when they go on sale. I’m just so stoked on my Salomons when it comes down to how well they feel/grip the trail.
Great review! Hope to see more soon!
Comfort wise... which one do you prefer, Wild horse 6 or Pegasus Trail? Also GRGR package arrived today - I’m VERY happy ! 👍🏽😁
I have the Wildhorse 6, I've never really had a problem with neutral trail shoes. But I do experience the ankle rolling problem. Even gave a me a niggle in my calf for a few days.
Yee that’s what I want to see wildhorse 6 vs peg trail 2
Quite a newbie to trails, and because of that, I bought the Peg Trail 36s to mirror my road Peg 35s/36s. Before this video, I was planning to buy the Peg Trail 2s to replace the Trail 36s but now slightly apprehensive about the weight gain. That said, I’m not looking to win any trail races any time soon! I’m usually not a fan of the maximal chunky design of some of these shoes coming out, but I really dig these! Great review as always, from one GR to another.
I had these in my hands today but wasn’t too sure whether I need them.
Just watched the review on this awesome channel and yeah, I’ll go back and pick ‘em up first thing in the morning.
This channel has always been my confirmation when in doubt. Thank you GR! 🤙🏻😁
how are the shoes so far?
@@limwowo5902 they are FANTASTIC! 💥
I do trail runs in them, did a day hike yesterday and just wear them even going to the shops. 😄
These Pegasus’ are real workhorse shoes. 🤙🏻
@@johanneswehrmann 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This review was extra gingery, thanks 🙏🏼
Awesome review, thank you man! I just purchased a pair to use in a couple upcoming ultras. I have a 50k this month, 50 mile next, and 100K in oct. all trails. Did my first 50K trail last nov, and wore more nike vomero 14's, which worked great on cushion for the race. So, I am hopeful these will be even better. I did find getting them locked down was a bit of a challenge at first. However, I did use the very top lacing eyelets and that made a huge difference in the lockdown.
Legit bought the Wildhorse 5 yesterday, wore it for two hours, went to bed and swapped it for the Pegasus Trail 2 thanks to this video. Nike should send you a gift basket.
how are the peg trail 2 compared to the wildhorse so far?
@@limwowo5902 LOVING it. Seven months in and they're still treating me well. The Wildhorse were very stiff because of the rock plate. The only down side of the Pegs (as Ian mentioned) it's a bit of a pain to get a decent heel lock on them... but you get used to this after a while. will defs buy another pair once mine die out. The Gor-Tex version is a must if you can find them.
these look so nice i always wear them casually
When any brand completely revamps a shoe they should just rename it. This is a particularly agregious example. Loved the 36 will probably skip this boat.
I ran in the Peg Trail 2 for one run, promptly packaged them back up, returned them and put my Peg 36 trail back on. I think there are some features of the Trail 2 you could add to the Peg 36 but they're just soooo heavy. I like the idea of a lighter, airier upper on the Peg 36, and maybe the rubber toe guard.
Question, if I do NOT skip the ads do YOU get compensated? Happy to sit through 'em if it benefits you guys!
Good stuff Ethan. I have the Kig5/WH6/Peg36TRL, all have worked for me (not everyone) so I’ll give these a go.
Looking forward to you Hoka Torr 2 review. I know you can’t review every shoe out there (you can only run and test so much haha) but the saucony mad river seems so unique, interested to see you review it.
Do you know if it is worth spending extra on the Gore-Tex version?
My current nike epic react is wearing off, the Pegasus trail 2 would be a great upgrade
amazing video. lots of objective view as well as ur own subject view. love it!
So pleased with your review, mine are sat next to me waiting for my Mortons neuroma to clear up 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Think I'll pick up a pair for the UTS, if they're anything like the Nike Pegasus road shoe then they'll be perfect.
To be safe I'll keep my old brooks cascadia in the halfway drop bag but after 400-miles they're getting holes in the side
Such a dope shoe. Been running in these for about two months now. My only two concerns with this are the lack of heel lock and that elve's ear heels... During a trail race a couple of weeks ago that heel hooked on a rock and almost sent me flying face-first into a slope. Can foresee that happening again.
Definitely haven't wore any trail shoes by nike... I always loved the pegasus series starting from the 35's, and now own the improved to me 37's. I always buy multiple of shoes that I really enjoy in different colorways, but the 37's don't really have much to offer in this category which is why when I saw the Trail "version" of the 37's I did a little research. So far I noticed I like the style of the shoe and can use them for normal casual wear along with off-roading the shoe.
RoadTrailRun seems to like them. Problem is people compare them to the old 36 trail, but these are totally different. Rather a max cushion trail shoe like the speedgoat and weight is comparable for that class.
this is such a great review!
Just got mine today and can't wait for weekend for 50k run,
Completely agree with your review. Great shoe and midsole but really tricky to get a good ankle/heel lock. I’m having to readjust multiple times on runs particularly on hills. To get a really good fit you have to pull the laces really tight but the tongue isn’t thick enough to so they end up cutting in. Shame because otherwise an awesome shoe.
Tempted to try the swoosh again... Normally don't appreciate wholesale changes but thinking of it as a different animal rather than the next iteration. Appreciate the thorough reviews!
give the newbalance flite a spin, ive ben quite impressed with it . great cushioning, lockdown. and durable.
Man I've been watching so many reviews for trail shoes. I have my first 50 miler coming up in April and no idea what shoes to go for. These are a front runner along with some other shoes but just stuck on what shoe to commit to!
Ginger! PLEASE do a review of the Endorphine series by Saucony. They are probably the best new shoes of 2020.
I'm thinking of buying these for my 72 year old dad. He's in pretty decent shape for his age. Looking for something he can wear both on road and off road which offers light stability. He's not an expert runner but more of a walker and light jogger. Would you say these are the ones?
A lack of lateral stability on the trail is not nit picky it is an injury 😶
I have 2 pairs of Peg 36s, the gore-tex and regular, love them for runs that cross or have some road mixed into trails but only on runs less than 12 miles . I just ordered Peg trail 2 hoping for similar use on the runs over 12 miles.
The Peg 36 Trail is fantastic for those mixed runs, but under dry conditions. I think they're pretty Used them on a mixed road/trail 50 miles run a couple of weeks ago. Worked like a charm. For dry trails, the Peg 36 Trail works great, but in wet conditions they just don't cut it, IMO. To bad, cause my feet like the fit. Anyway, I am curious about the Peg Trail 2.
Thank you for your helpful reviews, especially the Nike trail models through the years. Any chance you will be trying and reviewing trail shoes from VJ Sport in Finland?
I just ordered some from Nike for $107. Pretty excited to run in these
how are the shoes so far? :)
Thanks for this Ethan. Looking for new shoes. Always enjoyed the fit of the Terra Kigers. Are these similar?
Sorry if I missed this...can you use these for city/road running? I only ask because the goretex version is out and I would like to use for winter...
This is a great review. And I’m highly interested in purchasing this show. I wear a size 11. Do you recommend true to size or half size up?
Hello from Portugal! I got myself a Peg 36 Trail because you liked it a lot and i needed a shoe just like that! An "hibrid"! Now I need one of these now,, for km (miles)... In terms of size, are they the same or did you choose another size number? BTW keep the good work!!!
After my first pair of trail shoes. Worth getting these over the Pegasus 36? I kinda want the Gtx version so don’t know wether to just wait until October when the Pegasus 2 GTX come out.
Thanks for the review of this and the Sense Ride 3. Just entered my first 50k here in Hong Kong. Trails are a mix of concrete, packed paths and some rocky sections. What do you think would be a better option? Also I'm 85kg so not the lightest bloke.
Hi there, thanks for your review, I was really excited about the Pegasus Trail 2 - I'm a big fan of the Pegasus 1 (trail 36), its the only shoe that hasn't given me blisters. I ran a 50k in these and was generally okay at the end, a bit more cushioning would have been great in the final miles.
Question though: What would have been your review for the Pegasus 1 (trail 36) if it was in fact the Trail 2? Like if the Pegasus's switched places? Shaved weight, etc. I'm always inclined to get the latest model, but in this case, they seem quite different? Thanks!
I have a pair of these as well
as the Pegasus Trail 36. Pretty spot on review. They’re very comfortable but I have had a couple of the same issues you talked about. Wondering what you think about this as a hybrid shoe for a 100 miler that has some road as well as trail.
I use the Pegasus 36 Trail GTX as my wintertrainer! Could U also do a review of the GTX version, a lot of rain where I live so the GTX in the first shoe was absolutely needed here!
I bought the Nike Pegasus Trail 2 in red. Design amazing, colour fantastic, fit horrid!!!
I work in health care. I walk a lot on linoleum and carpeted covered floors that are concrete underneath. I have good luck with trail runners. The new Saucony Peregrines that I bought aren’t working out. Sometimes Nike runs small and kind of narrow. Would you recommend the Pegasus Trail 2 for my purpose?
Pegasus Trial 2 vs WQilkdhorse 6 for just alot of uphill/downhill walk/light jog?
Would you still recommend copping the first version if I can find it new over this one? I will mostly be running on concrete but want to be able to break out on trails. Lastly true to size for a wide footer on both 1 and 2? The 35 Turbo was way too tight on me at TTS.
On sale now, Nike Outlet $44
Which hoka would this correspond to? In terms of cushion and ability to hit tarmac every now and again, commuter shoe some would say.
Hey, thanks for the review. Does the Trail 2 have a large drop? I can't find any info on it.
10mm, which is unsurprising since it's Nike
"New number who dis?" ':'D
I'm not sure if it's coincidence but I find I've started rolling my ankles quite a bit more since wearing these shoes. Plus, because of the height of the shoe, when I go over, I come down hard on the ankle. Is it just me?...
Great review.. One question, I saw a TH-camr video saying that your toe can slam hard into the forefront toe box when descending slopes.. bummer ..is that true?
So they are unstable and heavy?! I think I am going to buy another pair of Pegasus 36 Trail.
Biggest jump was from Xodus ISO 2 to 3 but you haven't reviewed it...
Oooh, good call.
Would you recommend these shoes for walking on trails not so much hardcore running. I want to switch my footwear and trying to see if I should buy these over some Salomon.
Definitely interested in this shoe!!!
Great review 👍
Thanks for the review. Do you know if there will be a Gore tex version similar to the trail 36 gtx? Loved that shoe during this past winter, perfect for slushy and even snowy roads here in Sweden.
yep
Will these shoes be okay for doing a mix of road running and trails for beginners or should i invest in seperate pairs
Sneak previews of the new cascadias?
I am debating between salomon-sense-ride-3-shoes and these. Im not doing huge distance - maybe 6 - 13 miles on trails but really enjoying a break from the road. I am keen on the fit but the Nike versions do stand out on style. I have a wider foot so taking that in to account would you reocmmend one way or the other? I have both in a basket ready to go.....
The previous Pegasus trail was really a road shoe with a grippy outsole. I have the GTX version of it and I bought it to be my bad weather road/dirt road running shoe. It was a spot on buy. But I would not dare using it on mountain trails here in the Alps. There is nothing on the feel of that shoe that makes me want to run in them downhill in a mountain. The beginning of this review looked like "Ok, so Nike did a trail shoe this time... and of course it had to gain weight specially if its a more ultra shoe. My ultra shoes are 320..350grams" but then I saw the stability part and thought: Why I would want a trail running shoe that "wants to rollover most of the time". Sorry Nike, this doesn't make much sense.
Would this shoe work for those that need that max cushion of a Hoka? Feels like anything less is a disaster on my knees. Even the peg 36 trail I currently have
Grip is awful, if there is little mud, forget it. Cushion, comfort, durability is superb.
What did you prefer overall, Pegasus 36 trail or Pegasus trail 2??
So do you like the wild horse 6 more or the nike Pegasus trail 2 more ?
I want to register for the grgr 2020, but I just found out and when I went to the website, it appears sold out. Will there be a round 3 men’s shirt registration? Thanks!
How have you found the grip in wet conditions? This was the big let down of the first iteration. They gave me many happy miles but remain absolutely useless at the first sign of moisture.
Would these double as general running shoes? Mostly for street hills?
Apologies for the blunt question, but what's your height & weight? In several vids, you've mentioned being a... not-lightweight runner.
He's a thicc boi
where is this discounted link that you mention in the video for running warehouse?
How is it compared to Hoka Clifton 6, when it comes to weight?
Given all your Altra reviews, I’m surprised you didn’t give a dislike for that “tail rudder” going on here!
Nice looking shoe
Hello. I want to buy running shoes for running. I run on the ground and on the asphalt. The maximum distance is 4-5 km, but also to fit under 100,200 and 400m for a while. 18 years old, height 184, weight 83kg. Ready to spend up to 13 thousand rubles. Please tell me.
Sad it chanced, I have wildhorse and peg36 trail for me peg36 trail Was perfect semitrail shoe
hello....i saw your review. Really wna buy it. where can i buy? im from philippines do they ship in my country...thanks for your rply
I'm a gardener - does anyone think these would be good for that?
Will it get wet if it is raining? 🌧
Did my first marathon in this shoe and it saved my a....z
I use these on road runs
Which do you think is the best of the three???
Different tools for different job. I've been wearing the Pegasus Trail 2 a lot more lately as the trails are super dry and mellow these days.
TheGingerRunner I’m Brazilian! Nike markets the Pegasus 36 Trail and the Wildhorse 6! I have a Hoka Challenger ATR 3 and it’s causing bubbles! I am analyzing both and the Skechers GR Speed Trail Hyper! But they are very different!!!
@@TheGingerRunner does this mean the wet grip is poor?
Do you wear the same size in these as the 36?
Does this shoe have the forefront airbag?
Disappointed on technical trails. Going back to the pegasus 36 trail.
