It’s definitely not my first choice for dry runs but when conditions are wet, it’s the first shoe I reach for. The Pegasus 38 Shield is a permanent staple in my shoe rotation. There are extra overlays around the sides of the toe box and on the midfoot so the upper feels much warmer and is perfect for winters and cooler climates. The upper is most effective in light rainfall or after the rain when the weatherized upper effectively manages to prevent the water from shallow puddle splashes going through the mesh. It takes a long time for the water to drain from the inside of the shoe because of how thick the mesh is. When I run in heavy rainfall, the water gets in through the opening of the shoe from deep puddle splashes and water running down my legs. The Peg 38 Shield’s weatherized features work well in certain weather conditions and not so well in other conditions. The hydrophobic upper is so effective that you can completely submerge the shoe in a pool of water below its collar and it won’t let any water through. The mesh of the Pegasus 38 Shield is treated to repel water so it’s thicker than the mesh on the regular Pegasus 38. Picture of Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 Shield
