Nike Peg 2K5 Fire Red Black (some of the comfiest shoes ever)

            I had them in 2005 or 2004, I really loved them and wearing them every day to my collage, I think I bought my pair at Grossmont Center.    I did not have this exact colorway back then, but had the volt black and the white black colorways.  

I am not sure Nike released this colorway in 2005, but if they did, I did not know it, or just simply slept on them.  

I really love this amazing Pegasus 2005 colorway, and I think they are still some of the most comfortable shoes for long walk.   I tried them on today at my office and I found them just incredibly comfy shoes.  I made mistake of trusting some lousy online review and bought a half size bigger pair than my most Pegasus size. I think I shouldn't have ignored what my gut feeling told me about them, I guess I remembered them and how they fit correctly.  

So, sad but I will have to return them or exchange them to my normal Nike size of US 10.  BTW, if you are assuming get TTS, and if they are a bit too wide for you, then wear a pair of thicker socks or put thicker insoles.  Do not go half a size down or up, they run wide but not long. 

UPDATE: I tested them for a 28km long walk two times in last week, and I found that they are more comfortable and forgiving than the shoes like Ultraboost 5.0 or Vomero 5 with relatively low midsole stack height.  The Vomero 5 are fantastic shoes for a short to a mid-distance walk, but the midsole is not forgiving for anything longer than 10km.

The Ultraboost series are simply dated tech and not at all comfy for me, just soft.   Now, I am selling all my 23 pairs of Ultraboost shoes still own.   Honestly, I hate the midsole foam called Boost, most overrated shoe tech of the last decade or even all time (JMO).   Also, most of those saying Ultraboost is the comfiest shoe ever, never even try anything really comfortable like the NB 1080 v12, the NB Rebel v4, the Adidas Adister 2.0, the Nike Invincible 3, the Hoka Match 6, the NB 880 v14, the Nike Infinity React 4, etc.   The Ultraboost shoes are just soft and bouncy, but the not stable enough to provide some sort of secure stability for a long walk.  Also, the Boost bottoms out very fast if you walk or run a lot in every session.  

Also, I find the Nike Peg 40 and Structure 25 pretty good for long walking sessions or walk run hybrid workouts.
