Excellent shoe for hard to fit feet. Fits short...need an extra half size from usual. Nifty lacing system holds foot in place nicely.

Having a really hard time finding a shoe in which the arch support isn't too much. This is a great shoe for a flat arch; however, it runs smaller than the norm. I went up a half size and should have done a full size larger.

Great shoe, had an awkward seam on right shoe by toe not present on left shoe but was able to stretch with shoe stretcher. Other than that, very happy.

I supinate and these shoes really help to correct my gait. I had to take out the soles to fit my custom orthotics in these shoes, but I normally have to with other shoes. There are not many shoes that my podiatrist recommends for me & I am pleased with the fit as well.

My prescription orthotics fit perfectly in these shoes after removing the original insert that came with shoe. Toe box is a little wide which is a good thing for comfort for me and my orthotics. I went up 1/2 size to accommodate my orthotics. Worked good.

I buy these because they work well with my orthotics; however, they seem to wear out far more quickly than other athletic shoes I've owned.

I love Zappos and will continue to shop with them. However, as a flat-footed neutral runner, these shoes did not do it for me. I needed something more lightweight in a running shoe. I guess my search for the best running shoes continues.

This shoe is nicely cushioned, but has no arch support, so it's going back. I'll stick with Saucony Progrid Echelon 2, a shoe also designed for low arched non-pronators.

I am flat footed and have bunions, so the Dyad 6 is the ideal shoe for me. The insole is removable to accommodate my custom orthotics, and the toe box is wide enough not to bother my bunions. I bought my first pair of Dyad 6 over a year ago when I first started running, and haven't felt the need to explore any other running sneaker out there.

I supinate (foot rolls outward) and also wear an extra wide shoe and the Brooks Dyad is the only shoe that I've been able to wear comfortably since I developed Plantar Fasciitis and started wearing custom orthotics. It is very hard to find a neutral athletic shoe in an extra wide size, let alone one that doesn't look like a granny shoe. I hope the Brooks Dyad never goes out of production!

The Dyad 6 was comfortable from the moment I tried them on. Normally I wear a women's 10 1/2 W, but because of the other reviews I ordered a half size up. Because of current foot injuries (Morton's Neuroma and stress fracture) I ordered a EE width. When my foot is healed these shoes will be too sloppy but for now they give my toes plenty of room. Good support, low profile, and the tongue is short so it doesn't rub the front of my ankle. I will probably buy another pair in my normal size later.

The Dyad has lots of room to allow for my orthotics. It is extremely cushy as well.

I'm trying to heal from a neuroma, and keeping good shoes on my feet with a wide toe box is really important. My feet have been very happy with these shoes. They're probably the lightest tennis shoe I've owned, and so far, I'm glad I spent more than I usually do for shoes that will keep my feet happy and on the road to healing. So far, so good a month after purchase.

I love these shoes. I have heavy feet and these fit great with a feeling of support all the way around. Although the toe box is nice and roomy and these fit my wide feet well, I ordered a 1/2 size up from what I normally would order and the fit is perfect.

Very pleased with the shoe. They were shipped to me very fast. They are very comfortable to wear all day. The price was right too. I feel that the return policy is great also.

I absolutely, positively adore these shoes. I was looking for a wide width shoe designed for under-pronators and after hearing for years how amazing Brooks shoes were, I gave these a try. They're super comfortable and supportive. Based on this pair of shoes, I believe I will be switching primarily to Brooks shoes in the future.

I bought these for my mom who has rheumatoid arthritis. She is pretty particular about her footwear and she will only wear these shoes so I think it's fair to assume they're pretty comfortable.

These are great running shoes, with a cushy insole. They are actually wide, which is unusual. But length runs a bit smaller than normal. This is the 1st time I've ever needed an 8 (instead of 7 1/2).
I'd also recommend:
New Balance, cause they're as close as we can get to sweatshop free (and a great shoe).

Comfortable shoe, good with orthotics. I wear size 7 street shoe but need size 8.5 in this shoe. It's not the most stylish athletic shoe but it works well for my needs.

I took the advice of some reviewers and ordered a wide since these were supposed to run narrow. I bought them because one reviewer said they were great for those of us with wide feet and narrow heels. I have a hard time finding shoes that don't slip on my heels. I think I'll try a medium width next time. No matter how tight I tied these shoes or how I laced them, I couldn't stop my heels from slipping. There was so much room in the toe box, the fabric of the shoe was crinkled. They certainly are spongy and comfortable though...
