I'm a fitness writer and my favorite Nike shoe is currently more than $50 off at Dick's

If you've been holding off getting a pair of Nike Pegasus 41s, now might be the time to buy, with the most significant reduction I've ever seen. You can get the Peg 41 in the Hyper Violet colorway for an astounding $83.99 in the spring sale at Dick's Sporting Goods.

I'm a fully paid-up member of the Nike fan club, with the Pegasus 41 featuring as the best Nike shoe in my guide to best walking shoes. I also tested its predecessor, the Peg 40, and was equally impressed with its high performance, energy return and comfort for both running and walking.

When I tested the Pegasus 41, I was impressed with the energy return, cushioning and bounce. I like a max-stack shoe and although the Peg doesn't quite fall into this category, they are as plush underfoot as some of the most cushioned shoes I've tested.

I like the sleek, retro look of the Peg and firmly believe it'll never go out of style. If you're on your feet all day or have to frequently adapt to changing surfaces underfoot, the Pegasus 41 will keep you comfortable throughout.
