Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Men's Running Shoes (DH4071-001)
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: 10 mm drop is the number that should decide whether this shoe suits you and it is on almost no listing. Drop determines which tissues take the load, and moving abruptly from a 10 mm shoe to a 4 mm one -- or the reverse -- is a common route to Achilles and calf trouble. This is a neutral shoe, so it does not correct overpronation; that needs a stability model.
Who should buy this
Neutral runners already accustomed to a traditional 8 to 10 mm drop.
Who should avoid this
Overpronators, who need a stability shoe, and anyone switching abruptly from a low-drop shoe.
Key strengths
- 10 mm drop published, which most listings omit entirely

Not the product’s fault, but be warned
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Overpronators, who need a stability shoe, and anyone switching abruptly from a low-drop shoe. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Does the one thing I bought it for
10 mm drop published, which most listings omit entirely. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: React foam with two Zoom Air units for a responsive ride. No regrets after a couple of weeks.

Read the fit note, and it was me
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Neutral runners already accustomed to a traditional 8 to 10 mm drop. On that basis it has been the right call. 10 mm drop published, which most listings omit entirely.

Good, with one thing to plan for
10 mm drop published, which most listings omit entirely. The one thing to know before ordering: Neutral only — it does not correct overpronation. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.
