Description
View the Video Description for this product! (Please note that the color shown in the video may no longer be available.)- Brooks® introduced supportive technology to a minimalist running shoe design, creating the PureCadence®. Experience the rush as you electrify your senses.
- Part of the PureProject™ Collection from Brooks.
- Brooks developed five unique features called the Ideal Technologies (Nav Band, Toe Flex, BioMOGO DNA, Ideal Heel and Anatomical Last) that are featured in every PureProject shoe. Combined, these technologies are designed to promote an efficient, natural stride by encouraging a more forward foot strike, which places the runner over their center of gravity, helps align the body and reduces harmful stress.
- Built for the mild over-pronator to moderate over-pronator looking to step into the minimalist category without sacrificing needed support.
- Breathable air mesh upper.
- Lightweight microfiber synthetic overlays provide structural support.
- Wide Elastic Nav Band is locked into the lateral strike pod to ensure a secure, glove-like fit.
- Reinforced heel counter helps keep the foot locked into place.
- Lightly padded tongue and contoured heel cup for added comfort.
- Lightweight foam insole offers light underfoot plush.
- BioMoGo DNA is a blend of earth-friendly BioMoGo and responsive Brooks DNA, and has a gender-friendly cushioning design, making for a dynamic ride.
- Internal PDRB® helps prevent overpronation.
- Midsole Offset: 4mm.
- Toe Flex - The split-toe feature augments forefoot flexibility and promotes the big toe to engage the runner's natural stability and power during push-off.
- Ideal Heel - The heel is slimmed down to encourage contact points to shift forward, aligning the joints and creating optimal energy return.
- Built on an anatomical last, the shoe's shape contours to your foot, promoting support and a glove-like fit.
- Measurements:
- Heel Height: 1 in
- Weight: 8 oz

I LOVE these shoes! I am the type of person who buys running shoes far too frequently and before I really need to. However, I have never found "the perfect" shoe for me (side note: in the last year i've owned Vibrams, Asics, Nike, Reebok, Saucony and none of them were even close to the comfort and prettiness of Brooks). I have had 3 knee surgeries (im 25), I have moderately flat feet, and I over pronate. shoes are amazing to say the least. I will never buy another brand of athletic shoes. The inside fabric is a soft neoprene and I could wear them barefoot and not get a blister or feel uncomfortable. They offer pretty good arch support, and they definetely help me not to pronate. Usually shoes that help with these "ailments" are heavy, look like platform spice girl shoes, and are not cute. Brooks is a game changer. The colors are fun and I wear them even if I am not working out. I have the blue and green ones and they are beautiful! I wear a 9.5 in almost all shoes, with an occasional size 9 in flip flops. The 9.5 fit but I could tell that my toes would be jammed once I got going in a workout. I exchanged for a 10 and they fit perfectly!!! As a side note, I am NEvER a size 10 and I always get a 9.5 in shoes even when reviewers say "size up" or "size down." Listen to the reviews people and go up a half size. Even if your normal size is snug but livable, trust me, you will be happier going up half a size. These aren't like other shoes where going up half a size means they are Way too big; brooks does a gradual size increase so your shoes fit like a glove! Sorry for the novel, but I wish I had read a review with specifics when I was shoe shopping!

These shoes are awful. they run at least a size too small. Maybe I'm just not meant for minimalist footwear. Returning these and going back to my regular Brooks.

I used to run in Asics and did enjoy their shoes for many years but decided to try these Brooks and Wow, they are amazing. The best way to describe the shoe is that I feel like I am running barefoot but with enough support to not feel barefoot. The shoe grips the road very well. Very light shoe too. Just love 'em.

I love these shoes! Very light but still stable. They do run a half size too small. I usually wear a 9 but in these I wear a 9.5.

I bought these shoes over a year ago. I was wearing Adrenaline before, so it was quite a change not to have the huge cushion under my heels. I am a heel striker. I suffered through a little adjustment period in which my calves were sore for maybe the first three or four runs, but nothing major. I ran a half in them with no issues a few months later. I have a pretty wide foot and fat toes, so the shoe felt very snug at first compared to the Adrenaline, but I have become quite fond of how they fit. There is still plenty of room in the toebox, but they are more snug where needed. Now, when I switch back to Adrenaline they feel like they flop around on my foot. I love how light these shoes are, and they have really helped in some foot pain I was having. I run about 20 miles/week in these.

I really liked this shoe, but ended up returning it because it wasn't quite right for me. The overall fit was pretty good - I have a wide foot, but felt comfortable. The support and cushioning is great, however I felt like the arch support was kind of extreme, like way more than I needed so after I wore them around a little bit it was uncomfortable and my heels started to hurt. Otherwise, I would have gone with this shoe. I'm pretty picky though.

I absolutely love these Brooks! I run about 80 miles a month and I feel that these are going to go the distance! I am a dedicated Brooks customer and I am so happy that I ordered these! This is the very first review that I have ever left on Zappos! I just felt that I needed to express my love for these shoes!
