I will tell you that as a Police Officer, I was on my feet all day. I developed two very bad Achilles tendons. I went to Three Specialists and was not really helped. A friend of mine who works at a running store saw me walking and told me that I supinate. He recommended the Brooks Dyads because of the stabilizers. From the day I started with the Dyads, I have had no Achilles pain what so ever. I truly recommend these sneakers to anyone who has Achilles problems.

This is the 3rd pair now that I have purchased.The fit and feel is great. I weight about 205 and have used custom orthotics for years. So, the first thing I do is pull out the insoles and slip in the orthotics. I chose this shoe because it's suppose to be a neutral shoe which should be the best foundation for custom orthotic. I wear these shoes everyday, all day. The only down side is the enter sole seems to break down, losing it's uniformity of strength just after six to eight months.

First, this household orders from Zappos because we get what we order even before we expect delivery. This organization knows what it's doing, does it well, and has us hooked. Brooks athletic shoes are more than that; they are shoes that keep my feet in shape. The Dyad 5 is incredible. Take it out of the box, lace it up, and away you go, as if this had been your shoe for months. Comfortable, perfect fit, and the only problem with Brooks is the shoes wear so well, they last too long. I need to order new Brooks shoes before the old ones are worn out. It's a great problem to have. Zappos and Brooks: perfect partners for my feet!

Great solid shoe. Purchased for everyday wear after owning Brooks for running. Comfortable and sturdy these shoes are an excellent buy. The orange is more subtle in person but still adds a nice dose of color.

I was wearing the New Balance 1123 and felt it was too much shoe. The Brooks Dyad 5 was less shoe with appropriate support for my foot.
