Choose the Duramo Speed 2 if you want a running shoe for about $32 with wide width options and reinforced heel and toe protection.

Questions and answers

Which is better for daily running?
The Pegasus 42 has the higher rating, 4.8 versus 4.6, and a longer reputation as a daily trainer. The Duramo Speed 2 still works for daily miles at a much lower price.
Is the Pegasus 42 worth the extra money?
At $87.97 versus $32.00, you pay about $56 more. That buys a higher rating and Nike-direct buying, but not wide sizing or extra reinforcement.
Which lasts longer?
Neither listing gives an outsole durability figure. The Duramo Speed 2 lists toe caps and a reinforced heel, which help against wear at the front and back.
Which has more width options?
The Duramo Speed 2 comes in medium and wide. The Pegasus 42 is listed in medium width only.
Where can I find the lowest price?
The Duramo Speed 2 hit $26.99 on October 30, 2026, below its current $32.00. The Pegasus 42 hit $72.50 on November 2, 2026, below its current $87.97.
Are these men's or women's shoes?
The Pegasus 42 listing is women's medium width. The Duramo Speed 2 is sold mainly in men's sizes 9 to 12, though its department field says women's, so check the size chart.
