Thanks for the info. So it's wait for Peg 06 then. With more cusshioning.
I agree with you entirely. It seems all the shoe manufacturers have to tinker/change their models. They seem to follow the mantra if it aint broke let's break it. Which seems very strange to me as with the runners I know brand/shoe loyalty is very high.
If anybody from Nike would like me to test their 06 pegs. I would be delighted!!!
Regards

Could'nt wait for the 06 pegs so bought some 05's last week. Ran a 30k race on sunday in them no probs whatsoever. Yes they do feel a bit narrower but also a little bit more responsive. They are also very muddy now!!!!
Laces too short.
Forefoot too narrow.
In short, the worst Pegasus to date.
only lasted 376 miles though
I bought a pair on a sale recently. They are not remotly the same shoe as previous pegs. Cushioning is def completley different and the shoes now feel much more my stiff reebok road lites. I think more a miss than a hit, they do not protect me from injury like my others used to and the laces are well too short.
Glad I'm not the only one whos had problems, would gladly go back to 2004's
I do notice my toes move about a bit and do occasionally get sore on top - or that could be me running with less heel striking thus applying greater pressure to the toes.
Longer laces would be nice - on the other hand, they don't come undone and cause trip ups.

or this site has lots of different colours and a 2004 model - just scroll down to the bottom

If you bought them recently there is a 99.9% chance they are the 2005 model.
I have used mine a bit, they are not a patch on the previous model. I notice that
1. They are crap for running quickly in
2. I don't get injured or sore in them over long distance
3. They feel too hard.
I noticed recently there is a new 2006 model. Has anyone got anything good to say about that one before I go and waste more money on the swoosh mob.

and they dont seem very 'bouncy'..and even though the lady in the shop said they are good for me that arch bit feels really uncomfortable (or is that just me not being used to them)?
is the first run in a new pair of trainers ususally a bit sore/painful/induce minor injury??

In the end, I went for (and think I'm glad of now) the Saucony's.
bubbles, no the trainers should be right from the word go.
Try some Sacuony Trigon or Saucony Tangent or look on eBay for the Pegasus 2004, totally different shoe.
First try last night was initially disappointing, feet were burning - insole seems a bit hard.
I'll keep you all posted

Went against all advice & used them for the 1st time when I ran the Dublin 1/2 last week & found them great. No issues & set a new pb. Also ran the GNR on Sunday in them & again no prob's.
They work for me & I was lucky enough for someone to buy me a pair of 2006's yesterday & they looked as I sat in the pub admiring them!!
after buying the 2005 version i noticed instantly that it was a lot tighter around the arch and was not a patch on the 2004 shoe.
however i stuck with the shoe and id did not cause me to many problems.
i am now ready to buy a new pair of shoes and am relectant to stray away from nike air pegasus but viewing the comments about the 2006 shoe might be considreing it.
Need to buy a new pair as they've hit the 400 mile mark but not sure whether to go for another pair or to try say some Asics to see what happens.
Anybody out there know where I can get a pair of 2005 Nike Pegasus these days??
Have tried e-bay but they don't have my size. They are the only trainers I've come across that fit me like a glove and feel fantastic to run in. I bought two pairs at the time but now I'm in need of a replacement pair.
If anyone can help me track down the same model I'd be over the moon!
I have some spare 9's and maybe 9.5's.
They don't make 'em like they used to eh ?
Try the Saucony Grid Triumph or the Saucony Tangent. These are what I use now. If you want a firmer ride try the Mizuno wave rider 9
Thank you, but I'm a size 5.5 or 6.
As for the recommendations... I'll follow those up- thanks!
