An outstanding shoe that successfully combines highest quality design and technology. It receives high marks from wear-testers, the RW Shoe Lab and the Runner's World editors.
Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results
Runner's World Awards: Editor's Choice


We say: The Peg remains the benchmark shoe in this category. This long-awaited update features a full-length air unit in the midsole, and Nike has smoothed out the ride with a wider durable rubber platform that sits over the unit. It's the third softest shoe in the guide, according to our lab tests. The fit is improved, thanks to a flexible strip that runs along the side of the shoe to help the Peg move more naturally with the foot. Recommended for runners with normal to high arches looking for a soft, dependable shoe.

These are the best shoes for women marathoners EVER. No joke. I have never yet found its equal, and I go through shoes like most people go through toilet paper. I have had 4-5 pairs of these shoes and use them for every race. Not only that, but they are cute, too!!! I only wish I could find a shoe almost as good to alternate with..
