Customer Reviews Brooks PureFlow®

To put it simply, I love these sneakers. I went to a big box sporting goods store to find a lightweight running shoe. These came highly recommended. But the store didn't have my size. I found them on Zappos in my size - and different colors than were at the store! The sneakers provide great support and are super light so it doesn't feel like I'm running with bricks tied to my feet like with other supportive running shoes. Take note - the size runs small; I purchased a full size larger than my normal size (and they fit perfectly!).

As a new runner I wanted a light and comfortable sneaker. These are great! I use them often and have never gotten blisters or sore feet. It literally feels like I am walking on clouds. It is hard to resist the temptation to wear them every day, but I have promised myself to keep them as "running only" shoes. Even my avid running hubby was impressed with the lightweight style and construction. I hope Brooks keeps these in their product line up for years to come. Enjoy!

Bought these to bring on a hiking trip to China. Wore them every day, all day for three weeks. They were great. Super comfortable. Will probably get another pair.

Loved these shoes from the moment that I put them on. I really didn't even have to "break" them in. Comfortable and almost cushion like. Feels like you are gliding ;) Bought a size up. Would recommend to others.

This shoe is very light in weight. You feel like you're walking on air. The arch support is excellent. I plan to buy a different color.

Got these today. I loved them right out of the box. Tried them on (without socks) and fit like a glove. I can't wait to take them for their first run. I ordered a 1/2 size larger because I like my toes to have room to move around.

I have only put about 50-60 miles on these shoes, but I love them. I alternate daily between these and the Brooks pure Cadence. I like a light-mid stability and these are perfect. They're very lightweight which is nice for long runs. They encourage more of a misfit strike than my last pair of Nike Lunarglide's did. It took about 10 miles for me to get used to, but I find it much more comfortable. Initially the toe box felt a little tight, but all I had to do was change the lacing pattern to alleviate the pressure. They feel true to size as far as a running shoe (I've noticed that I order a half size up from what I wear in regular shoes).

These are my first new pair of shoes since buying Brooks Adrenaline for the last 8 years. The transition has been easy. There is an elastic band, though, that seems redundant of the shoe laces, so I untied the shoe laces, laced them back up by skipping a hole or two, and now the fit seems right. I always did this with my Adrenaline, too, but if you don't do it with these Brooks PureFlow, I think it's way too uncomfortable. But I'm happy with my solution and going a step towards more minimalist. Oh, I'm a Brooks 9.5, and without trying them on, I just ordered 9.5 and it was the right fit. Nice to know Brooks is consistent with that stuff.

I love the Brooks Pure Project line, but as a neutral runner with a high arch this shoe is not for me. I really love the PureConnect, it fits more snug and true to size. I don't like to wear socks, and the connect fits like a glove. With this said, I needed a little more support for long runs and was hoping the Pureflow would work. There is just too much room in the toe box for me, and I felt it runs a 1/2 size larger than the PureConnect. This shoe would be fantastic for someone needing more room in the toe box with a moderate arch. I love the Pure Project line! Well done Brooks! I am a distance runner and triathlete and I am so happy my feet don't get so hot!

Bought these for my wife, who usually prefers Mizuno, but loved the arch support in these as well as her quote of, "it feels like I'm walking on clouds." With the Brooks DNA, these do feel soft, but actually firm up again during a run and loosen up again when walking casually.

I am still getting used to this running shoe; I may wind up adoring it. It's definitely a little different from my usual cross-trainers: better arch support and much lighter. As I'm just getting into running, it may just be a matter of getting used to running shoes. It is light and strong and snazzy, so I recommend it. For "real" runners, it's probably a delight! Plus, it's snazzy, and I can never resist some flair in my workout clothes!

Great shoe, just not right for me. Painful on my pinky toe. Even lost my toe nail from doing two classes in them.

I bought these to replace some Brooks Adreneline 9's. The new Adrenelines don't fit the same at all, so I bought these in 11.5, my usual running shoe size (I wear 11 in normal shoes). They fit, in the length, but they feel a little snug or small towards the front of the foot, almost like they're not tall enough of something. I have re-ordered in a 12 but I'm afraid that will be too long. They're super cute, though, and I want to love them!

I ran my first half marathon in these and ended up in excruciating pain. There is just not enough padding on the ball of the foot. Terrible experience. I should have worn my Pure Connects.

have an extremely high arch (looks like I am a ballerina). I have a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable and thought these were going to be the ones. I loved how they looked and the feel at first, but within minutes of wearing them they hurt. Felt too narrow in my toes as my pinkie was all smashed and I don't have wide feet. Sad that they didn't work for me, but they are a great looking shoe.

Great shoe with one big problem. The tongue moves to the side which is very annoying. I called Brooks and they told ME to sew it to the strap that goes across under the laces..
