Brooks PureFlow® SKU: #7864591

I loved these shoes right out of the box! The most comfortable and flexible shoe with cushioning I've found for running yet. I'm normally a Brooks Glycerin user - but am excited to try these out on my long runs. Definitely wish they came in different color choices besides black though.

Just bought these shoes after months of trying to find a light shoe with good cushioning. These are great! I teach group fitness mama, run and lift weights and this shoe is great for all of my needs. The size runs a little small, but I always get workout shoes a 1/2 size up anyway. I add an insert to all of my shoes too and the fit is still very comfy. Good wide toebox so my feet feel good with all the side and lateral movements in class. Colors are great too. I know some people like the plain, but I'm loving all the vibrant choices. Happy feet again and as always, loving Zappos' quick and awesome customer service!

Very comfortable. Wide with shoes are usually too wide for me, but some regular shoes can be too narrow. These are just right! I love Brooks brand.

A great shoe. When you first put it on, it feels a little too cushiony and unstable, sort of like when you're walking on pillows, but after running in it a couple times it flattens out and is a great, low heel-toe drop shoe. Supportive enough for shorter, quick runs. I usually wear Brooks Ravennas, which have mild support. I ordered a size 10. Always order half size up when purchasing running shoes.

In the past I was a heel striker and my shoe of choice was Asics Gel Nimbus. After years of heel striking it got to the point where my hips ached long after my run, I had thigh muscle fatigue during my run which resulted in not being able to keep a steady pace or run long distances. Then I discovered the Chi Running technique which completely changed how my body feels during and after I run. With Chi running I decided to buy the appropriate shoes and after much research I decided on Brooks Pure Flow. I just finished my first run in my new shoes...Ahhh...Love them. I love shoes I can wear right out of the box and run 6 miles without any problems. The price is great too.

These running shoes were perfect right out of the box. I've had many foot problems and these shoes make everything feel great. They feel like part of your foot rather than a shoe. The heel is slightly lower which gives it a more natural feel on the foot as well as making your strides feel more natural. The padding is more on the forefoot than all bunched under the heel. Great shoe!

I love these shoes! I've been working out for almost 2 years and every time I try to wear shoes I throw them off within minutes of beginning my workout and workout barefoot. Not with these. This shoe has a wider toe box and it's springy. I'm more of a minimalist shoe person and can't stand big heel to toe drops and all the extra cushion running shoes give you that cause pain. No pain when I'm running and no numb toes. These aren't the most minimalist shoe on the market by a long shot, but I do sure love them. Just wish they had better color options. I use them for PUMP/Asylum/P90x2/running. Love them. Thank you Brooks for making a great shoe.

I recently started to run naturally. These shoes have good cushioning in the forefoot for forefoot striking. I have found the shoes to be less constrictive than the Brooks pure cadence. I have also found them to have more cushioning than in the Brooks pure grit, which I also like. I believe that of this shoe collection by Brooks there is a shoe that everyone could wear.

I bought this shoe because Runner's World said it was a Best Buy and I needed a back up shoe for training. It ran very small (I needed a full size up instead of usual half). It is okay for shorter runs, but not enough support for long runs.

Wow. These are the best running shoes I've tried in my short (2-year) stint as a runner. They're definitely minimal in terms of feeling light and neutral (I don't feel like there's too much shoe trying to correct my foot). At the same time, there's good support in the arch and the upper holds my foot in place without feeling constrictive because of the flexible band over the top. My favorite feature is the cushiony bouncy sole that makes even my runs on pavement super comfortable and since I got them, my creaky knees and toe numbness have all but disappeared. I do feel like these run a tad small (I'm usually a perfect 5.5, and the PureFlow 5.5 is just barely long enough for my toes), so if you're between sizes, order up.

I bought these to replace a pair of Brooks Green Silence (which I loved). I was looking for a minimalist shoe for Crossfit. These shoes do not work well for weight lifting or squats because it changed my balance. I had to take my shoes off. The shoes are snug and don't breathe well. I wouldn't buy them again.

These sneakers are great! I read the previous reviews and needed a shoe with good support that I could stand in all day. I found them.

Since I have had foot pain for years, these are the first shoe I have not used an orthotic. Love the roomy toe box! Was surprised that the heel was low...but liked it. I hope Brooks keep making shoes with these qualities! Put them on the first time and for some reason, took off running. Not all that far, you see I'm almost 70.

These shoes are very light, and the black/bright blue stretchy piece that goes across the shoe helps hold your foot into place. The tongue is attached so it doesn't move around on you. The shoes are cushioned nicely, so it is nice on your knees for pavement running. I would definitely recommend trying these shoes, I love them!

Love these! I bought the white/purple ones for work (on my feet all day) and the red/blue ones to work out in. I've had them for about 1 month now and wear my work ones every day. So comfy. They feel very natural. I put on my old running shoes yesterday -- which I loved -- and they felt like bricks compared to these. For a running shoe I'm between a neutral/cushioning and stability shoe. I love how these have just enough support on the mid to outside part of the sole (the little circle thing on the bottom). Good buy.

This is a very good shoe. It is suprisingly more cusioned than I thought it would be.

I love these shoes! I was looking for a shoe for boot camp/Crossfit and these are great. They are very flat on the bottom so somewhat of a minimalist shoe, so comfortable. They are also great for jump rope! I would highly recommend these shoes. They are very comfortable and I get tons of compliments on them!

Incredibly comfortable and supportive sneaks and love, love them. Have received many compliments on the red color/style, too! :) My first pair of Brooks, and I am pumped.
