Customer Reviews Brooks Dyad 7

Love, love, love these shoes. I have wide feet that roll to the outside and have heal spurs. I tend to have lots of problems with my feet. Many shoes that I have bought in the past hurt my feet and feel like I'm walking on concrete even when I'm not. I also have a low arch so many shoes tend to have higher (probably normal) arches that kill my feet. I bought these in a wide and they have lots of width at the ball of my foot so it doesn't cramp my toes. They also have support along the outside edge to help with the "rolling" to the outside, but without making it painful for me. The cushion in these shoes are like walking on air. I had begun to think I'd never be able to walk for exercise without pain again. These have been great. I did quite a bit of research on line before settling on these to determine what type of shoe is best suited for my foot type. Thank you Zappos for all you do to make shopping affordable and easy to return if an item doesn't work. I will probably never shop in a store for shoes again.

I have wide foot, high arch and underpronate. I also need room for orthodics. These Dyad 7s are amazing. Great fit right out of the box, no breaking in. Shoelaces are long, too, which is a plus with an extra wide shoe. They are very supportive and I am now officially a Brooks girl!

I have heel spurs and knee problems. I love to walk my dog and myself but I am unable if I don't have a comfortable shoe. I also stay busy and on my feet most of the day. These shoes are like walking on a cloud. I can wear them a long time and I have no heel pain. For long walking I would prefer the Brooks Aerial. So having a pair of each makes me happy. I also wear a 10 ww and this is so comfortable.

I am flat foot and neutral gait when I started wearing these shoes I weighed 267lbs I now weigh 220 and still love them I am running 4 miles a day and I don't have the pain I used to have the other shoes I tried. I did a lot of research and decided to try these and I am so glad I did. I can even jump rope with no pain. I have had 3 surgeries on my foot and most shoes bother me but not these.

The fabric on top of the shoe, over the toes is not as good a quality as previous Dyads, I've had them just about 5 weeks and there is already a hole in them.

These shoes were recommended by a podiatrist since I was having foot problems, Though they are not my type of shoes, they look durable as training shoes. The design is not bad at all.

This is my 2nd purchase of the Dyad 7 shoes. I have a lot of trouble with my knees and ankles but Brooks shoes were recommended by the physical therapist and I love them. I can tell a difference on the days I wear them. Just wish they were a different color.

I bought these shoes for my mom; because she has a hard time finding shoes that fit correctly. She has a extra wide food and these XX WIDE shoes where perfect.

I have been wearing the Brooks Dyad shoe happily for years. Great support, cushioning and flexibility.

I have wide feet and high arches and have a terrible time finding shoes that fit and keep my feet from aching. These are the best shoes I've found so far. They didn't require any breaking-in time - I wore them on vacation and hiked all over a week after I got them, and they were wonderful. (I also have to give major compliments to the wonderful person I talked to on the phone. She was incredibly helpful and nice.)

The Brooks Dyad are built as a solid stability running shoe. After trying wearing the pair for a year now, they are still the best running shoe for my feet.

This is the second pair I have bought. The first pair I purchased at a running store here in Nashville and I was so happy with them I decided to buy another pair thru Zappos since you know that whenever you find a pair of sneakers you like, when you try to find them again they are gone. These sneakers are super comfy and are very well made.

I first purchased this style of shoe in a small local shop where I was fitted properly. If I hadn't bought them locally I would never have thought to buy them online. My feet are narrow and yet my feet feel great in these D-width shoes. They helped with my arch pain and slight pronation. I don't think I've ever had a pair of athletic shoes that felt so great. I loved the pair I bought locally so much that I came to Zappos to buy a back-up pair (and save money).

These shoes are exceptional. I am just disappointed that there is only one color. That said, I am awaiting the Dyad 8 release so I can buy a pair of those. I have painfully high arches and wear orthotics, so I need a stabilizing and well cushioned shoe for under pronation as well as the extra-extra width. I am so tired of wearing heavy sneakers, and these are so nice and light. It is a miracle that I found these! Since I wear orthotics, I am not sure how good the actual arch support of the shoe works.

When I first bought this shoe I needed extra-wide shoes. My feet also tended to roll to the outside and I experienced heel pain. It was very hard for me to find comfortable shoes, so I was very happy when I found this shoe as it has very good cushioning. I started walking 2 miles a day, and now, due to weightloss, my feet have become a bit narrower as well, so this time I will order them in the D width. I agree somewhat with another customer about the mesh fabric over the toe box; it does wear out over time, but it didn't happen quite as fast with my pair.

This shoe fit me as if it were made for me. It has great support and stability. I recommend this shoe to anyone.

I am a big fan of Brooks Shoes. This style makes me feel well balanced between the ball of my foot and the heel. This is my second pair of these shoes. I keep one pair at work and have a second at home.

Without the Brooks Dyad, I wouldn't be walking with as much comfort! I have tried many, many "tennis shoes", thanks to Zappos return policy (many of them Brooks). I was introduced to Brooks fine quality through a running store, where I was fitted with the original PureFlow (not realizing they were minimalist shoes). I liked them because of the great arch support. I even ordered an extra pair from Zappos because I was afraid they would stop making them. Fast forward 10(?) years and my feet and needs have changed. Because of arthritis, etc. the ONLY shoes I can wear are Brooks Dyad 7. Now I'm buying a second pair of these with more reason to be worried they will change them. Many people have complained that the gray ones are ugly, but I actually like them. They go with everything!!

These shoes are wonderful. I have had a lot of trouble with tendonitis in my heel. These shoes have helped that tremendously. I also have one foot that wants to turn outward. These shoes actually have support and help a little bit. Will definitely buy more. They are great!

I ordered a half size larger than my normal size because brooks usually run small, but they were way too big. However, they looked nice and we're very comfortable and squishy. They fit my mom who usually wears a 9.5 or 10 and these were a 9, so I didn't have to return them. She has large bunions and really wide feet and usually can't wear anything but Crocs clogs, but she likes these shoes a lot and says there's no pain in her feet after wearing them.

These sneakers are extremely comfortable. I bought them in my regular size 10 but in a wide width. Brooks fits my problem feet, I have bunions, hammer toes, you name it but Brooks fit great. Comfortable right out of the box. Only thing I would wish for would be an extra set of laces in yellow!

These shoes are comfortable and provide the support I need. I have mild bunions and these shoes are wide enough in the toe box to feel comfortable. I usually wear an orthotic, but have found that I can wear these without. My absolute ONLY complaint is the color! I wish Brooks made these in black or a neon color. I see other women at the gym with shoes in fun colors, and I'm stuck with these plain blue ones. I'd love to have comfort AND style!

I bought these because I need cushioning, and also arch support for my plantar fasciitis. These are not stylish running shoes, just super-comfortable and supportive, they've been great.
