Nike Pegasus Women's Black Half Running Shoes for Women Review

I've been wearing Pegasus shoes for many years and they fit me perfectly. I walk, run and kick with my feet in these shoes. This latest model in the Pegasus line looks good but is less functional.

Back in high school when I was in athletics I was picked up and told I needed to use a specific Brooks line for support. I grew to love Saucony; mainly because they were cheaper, but also because they fit. After starting triathlon and ironman a few years ago, my mileage grew exponentially, so I decided to give my running shoes another upgrade for a better running shoe. At this point I found…
