Nike Air Pegasus ’83 SI Review

Nike-Air-Pegasus-83-SI

These shoes have been one of Nike’s most famous running shoes.  They have been remade many times and the latest version looks great and is very effective in long distance running.  Many say these were the first pairs of Nikes they have ever purchased and have been very attached to them ever since.  Great arch support and looks good as casual wear as well.

Running shoe built for the mild to moderate over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and reinforced stability.  The high arch and extra wide width make it a great fit for many who are choosy about the sizing of running shoes.

ASICS GT 2140 Review

ASICS-GT-2140

As one of the editors from Runners World magazine puts it, the ASICS GT2140 is the best-selling stability shoe ever hasn’t changed much, and that’s a good thing. The most significant update is a noticeably softer sockliner. Asics also tweaked the eye-row-where the laces tie into the shoe-to provide a bit more room in the toebox. Our testers didn’t notice the roomier forefoot, but they did rave about the shoe’s support and snug fit. Asics didn’t build a new last for the 2140, so the fit is consistent with previous versions. Recommended for runners with normal arches looking for a terrific fit and feel.
