Don't go for the Hyperdunk nike Peg 38 Shield if you already have a waterproof running shoe. Otherwise, it's just another "money grabber," said several experts.
Weatherized upper
Road runners who ran through snow claim that the weather-proof upper is perfect for keeping their feet "warm."
Although it's not designed as a waterproof shoe, it also kept runners' feet "dry." Thanks to the rubberized overlays, splashes of water and light rain didn't infiltrate the shoe.
Fantastic grip
The storm tread outsole has been praised by many. According to them, it's "fantastic" in wet conditions, giving them "loads and loads" of grip.
It's no wonder because the same material is used for winter tires.
Rides like the OG Pegasus 38
Stable, responsive, and comfortable — is how experts describe the performance of the Pegasus 38 Shield. Pretty much the exact same ride as the Peg 38.
If you want to run slow, it's easy on the feet. When you pick up the pace, there's some sort of bounce underfoot for a spring back, owed to the nike sportswear storm-fit windrunner арт and React foam.
Even better, it has a more rockered sensation, making the transitions seamless.
Lockdown fit
The midfoot cage doesn't just keep water out, it also locks the feet in excellently. And in the heel, the fit is snug. Testers have not reported any slips.
For wide-footed runners, however, experts advise going half a size up. The heel's wrap might be too constricting.

Compared to other Nike running shoes which are narrow, the Hyperdunk nike Peg 38 Shield is definitely roomier.
Gusseted tongue
The redesigned tongue steps up the shoe's lockdown. It holds the feet better, preventing excess movements.
It's also "more padded" and "wider," noted multiple Grey. This makes it cozier and more effective in keeping water out.
Pegasus 38 Shield is hefty
For a daily trainer, it's heavy. According to some Grey, it's very clunky, they feel it weighing them "down" on the run.
Stiff upper
Because of the rubberized overlays added to make the Hyperdunk nike Pegasus 38 Shield winter-ready, there's less flexibility.
There's little to no give in the upper, which is also the reason why experts advise those with larger feet to size up.
