What do you say about a good, decent shoe that isn’t super exciting? However, that probably makes them the best category to own. That last category is the hardest to write about. When it comes to reviewing running shoes, there are roughly three types of running shoes: ones with exciting new technology, ones with obvious flaws, and the ones that are just good, decent shoes but nothing new or exciting about them. Pegasys 36 Shield: Nothing to write home about If you really want to keep dry feet while running through some water or in heavier rain, you’d better find yourself a pair of running shoes with Gore-Tex. Which makes me wonder why the seams are sealed if the top will just let in the water anyway. I know this shoe is water-repellent and not waterproof, but I just assumed it wouldn’t be an issue if I ran through the puddle quickly due to the water-repellent layer, but I still got wet feet since it came through the engineered mesh on the top of the shoe. Some rain will splash right off the shoe, but it won’t keep your feet dry when you run through a puddle. This shoe will protect your feet from roads that are a bit wet or when you are running through wet grass. It was a bit on the narrower side, like all Nike shoes, but it wasn’t a real issue. I had my regular running shoe size and that was fine. There is a crash rail on the lateral side of the outsole that helps with stability, however, this remains a neutral shoe. It has a really good traction and also makes this shoe suitable to run on easy trails should you want to. It is made out of storm-thread wet traction rubber. It has also been adapted for wet conditions, just like the upper of this shoe. The outsole is the second part of the Shield. The Pegasus 36 Shield is slightly bouncy and has some decent cushioning, so it won’t slow you down, and you can do longer runs in this shoe without any trouble. And the Air Zoom unit along with the entire midsole that provides you with enough cushioning. The midsole is the same as in the regular Nike Pegasus 36 with the cushlon ST foam, made from EVA, is a bit stiffer to give you a bit more speed. The tongue is semi-detached from the rest of the upper. There is no additional padding in the tongue and some medium padding in the heel. Rather than regular eyelets, this shoe has loops where the laces go through. The shoe has the characteristic elf ear heel that the Pegasus 36 also has an internal heel counter. There are some reflective details on the shoe since Nike expects you to wear these in the darker months of the year. On the edges of the shoe, there is a water-repellent layer on top of the mesh, and the seams are sealed. On the top of the foot this has remained exposed to give the shoe some breathability. The upper is made out of an engineered mesh. This is the Shield version of the Pegasus 36, meaning that the upper is water-repellent.
