The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
The Pegasus 40 ranks 16th for everyday men's sneakers and splits its audience: casual wearers praise its plush cushioning for walking, but distance runners find the sole unresponsive and sluggish. At $100–$163, it's a comfortable daily driver rather than a performance shoe.
