Drop everything—I've found the Nike Pegasus 40 on sale for more than 50% off at Dick's
Now the Pegasus 41 is out, the Nike Pegasus 40 has some tasty discounts.

I test walking shoes for Fit&Well's best walking shoes guide and am always looking to save money on shoes I rate. If you like a retro-looking sneaker that you can use for walking and road running, the Nike Pegasus 40 is hard to beat. Plus, with the latest generation just released, you can bank on some great discounts on the remaining stock of the Pegasus 40—if you can find some.
Easier said than done. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for weeks now and turned up nothing—until now.
There are deals on both the men's shoes and the women's shoes at Dick's Sporting Goods, currently discounted by up to $71, depending on your size and the style you choose.
Nike Pegasus 40: was $129.99, now from $58.97 at Dick's Sporting Goods
Save $71.02 If you've been waiting for a healthy discount on some Nikes, this might just be the best going before fall's annual sales. This is a fantastic deal, better indeed than many I've seen in sales events such as Amazon Prime Day or Black Friday.
Nike shoes have a slightly looser fit than other brands I've tried, so you may want to buy in your size or a half-size down. I'm a UK 6 in Hoka and Brooks shoes, but I can comfortably wear a 5.5 in Nike's sizing. They are, however, quite narrow shoes, so it's worth measuring your foot and exploring the width options if you are unsure.
The Nike Pegasus 40 was at the top of my best walking shoe guide until I discovered the Hoka Bondi 8, but the Pegasus 40 now holds the title of the best Nike walking shoes I've tested. I'm not easily impressed, but know what I want from a walking shoe and happily rated them a 4.5 out of 5 stars: just a hair's breadth away from perfection.
The only thing to note is that the Pegasus 40 is a neutral shoe, so it's unsuitable for those looking for more arch support. If you overpronate, consider a stability shoe like the Nike Structure range or the React Miler.
