What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- React X foam delivers noticeably more cushion and responsiveness than the previous react foam, making the ride more engaging and comfortable
- Generous padding at the tongue and ankle collar, combined with an integrated lace system, provides a secure and comfortable lockdown fit
- Wide toe box and waffle rubber outsole give a stable platform suitable for daily running and gym use
Reviewers push back
- No shank or structural plate means the midsole can compress and lose spring over time, particularly for heavier or midfoot-strike runners
- Some reviewers noted moderate heel slippage even after break-in, even with a runner's knot
- Not suited for speed work or racing — the shoe prioritises comfort and durability over propulsion
The Pegasus 41 is a well-rounded, comfortable daily trainer that earns broad praise for its improved foam and fit, but reviewers flag it as uninspiring for speed work and note foam durability concerns under heavier use.
On Pegasus 41: Foam feel divides reviewers: one describes it primarily as shock-absorbing rather than truly springy, while others emphasise its lively, responsive bounce
