Walk around 10-15 minutes in the store.I am currently wearing the 2012 Pegasus, as my 2011 has retired after the Ottawa "National Capital Marathon". Asics Gel Nimbus was 2nd choice for me, but I find gel cushioning is heavier than air, thus Nike was my pick. Also, Asics Nimbus tends to be wider than the Pegasus and I do not wan't my foot touring around my shoes and end up with blisters.
