Love the color, and the fit is perfect. Just enough arch support for my "high" arches and nice flexible cushioning sole. I wear an 8 in regular shoes and usually 8 1/2 in tennis shoes. Slightly narrow foot with not much flesh, if that helps. My 3rd pair of brooks shoes.

I've been running in the Pure Flow series for a few years. Love the 2 and the 3 just alike. Loving the new colors! Wish they made the Ombre ones for the Pure Flow series! Great shoe. Not too boxy, not smushy like Nike, light but supportive. It's a great shoe.

After struggling to find shoes that would provide support for tendinitis in my ankle without being too much support for the rest of me I've found the perfect balance. Great shoes!

My neighbor told me about zappos.com. I tried it and I love it! I bought the same sneakers that I purchased in Florida 8 months ago for a lot more than I paid at zappos. com. I was thrilled that I didn't have pay shipping either. Try it, you will like it!

I was hesitant to order online without trying on but with Zappos great return policy I gave it a try. They are so light and comfortable with the best support I have experienced. I use them for walking but could live in them!

I am adjusting to these shoes. They call them "neutral" or what I would call minimalist shoes, but they are not as "minimal" as my old New Balances. I still like them, and use them for CrossFit. I will say they run tight.

Very comfortable and well supported shoe. The bottoms are getting fairly worn out so I don't know how long they will last, but it is a very pretty shoe that ventilates well and supports very well. Not as wide a toe box as the Ghost 7.

I ordered these without trying them on and they fit perfectly! I have a heel spur and wear orthotics they fit great and my heel feels better after wearing them.

This is my 4th pair of Pure Flows. I have had two pair of the first version, one of the second and now the Pure Flow 3. This is the most comfortable of the three. Before buying the Pure Flow 3 I tried two pair of Newtons. I just couldn't make them feel right. Back to the tried and true Pure Flow and happy again!

Every time I put these sneakers on, I say to myself, "these are my most favorite sneakers ever". I have a narrow foot and I did have to by a 1/2 size larger for length (tried them on in a store) but they fit so well and are so comfortable. I can run errands all day and neither my feet or back ever bother me. I have never had this brand before but would definitely recommend them.

These shoes are amazing as to be expected! I have the purple pure cadence 2's and got them all dirty at my work, so I wanted a clean and fresh pair for the gym. They are like walking on a cloud, and fit so well. I would suggest going somewhere to try them on before ordering them because I usually wear a 7.5 or 8, and for both my pure cadence and these, I had to get 8.5's.

I have always worn Brooks - everything from everyday wear to my running shoes. I did not like the PureFlow 2 and was reluctant to try the PureFlow 3 because of that. However - these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I am in the process of ordering a 2nd pair to make sure that I have a back up pair.

I recently made the switch from the Nike FreeRuns. I need a neutral running sneaker and the Brooks Pureflow 3 offers that with some arch support. I am thrilled with its performance so far. I have about 25 miles on them and am truly enjoying them. The Nike's are very wide at the toe which caused blisters. These are just perfect!

These are my second pair of Brooks. I'll never buy any other brand. I love these, especially love the color, but these are a little narrower than my other Brooks.

These are great road shoes - they are very light, and provide serious cushioning. They are a bit too tight on the forefoot - I have a slightly wider toebox but it's never been a problem for me in other shoes. I typically tie my running shoes very tight, but with these, I have to be careful and tie them loose. My foot went numb one day after 3 miles. The side-attached tongue takes some getting used to. All that said, I really like these, and they have begun to loosen up! I also think they look better in person than they do online. For reference, I run about 10 miles/week on the road in these, and 10 miles/week on trails in a different pair.

I was recommended these shoes by my chiropractor and without wanting to spend too much money on a pair of shoes, these are worth every penny! My back pain has been little to none since I got them. I could tell from the minute I put them on before I could even take a step that they fit my foot perfectly! I would recommend these to anyone who has to do much walking or standing, they are amazing shoes!

I usually run in the Pure Cadences but I ordered these for the extra cushioning. They are awesome! I run in these on the pavement and the Pure Cadence when I have a softer surface. I usually wear between 8-8½ I always used to wish for a 8¼ size and that is exactly how these fit! The toe box is roomy but not too big. These work well for me. I did not wear the PureFlow 2 after reading the bad reviews, I tried these only because of the Zappos return policy and I am so glad that I did. I really like them.

Great shoe. Loved the pure flow 1, returned the pure flow 2, and this model seems more like the 1's. But they run bigger. Usually wear a 7 and returned them for a 6.5.

Light, nice looking shoes but very narrow. I tried them on without socks and they were still too tight. If they were available in wide, I would purchase them. Unfortunately, they are not, so back they go.

Good shoes, but they run a bit short compared with Adidas. I'm an 8 in Adidas and while I can wear an 8 in Brooks, an 8.5 would probably be more comfortable. The back of the shoe is also very stiff--rubbed some blisters onto the back of my foot until I broke them in.

I bought these thinking that I would love them like my last pair, but they were much narrower than last years. I was so bummed. They look great on.

These shoes are super cute! I typically wear an 8 and have a pretty narrow foot. They seem way too big and wide in the toe. Too much arch support for me. Will probably go back to Ghost.

I prefer the PureFlow 2s, mostly because I miss the wider toe box and thought the shoes looked better. But utility-wise, these are fine walking shoes...I just miss the extra wiggle room for running. If you liked the original PureFlows, these are them, updated.

Ugh! I loved these shoes...with one minor exception. The tongue of the shoe is connected to the shoe on one side, making if difficult to get the shoes on. I would have kept these, had it not been for that feature.

This is a pretty nice little shoe for cross-fit type workouts. I had been wearing the Ravenna series from Brooks for the last 4 pairs but since I was doing more bootcampy things I wanted to try a more low-profile shoe. These are good, but quite a bit smaller than my Ravennas. I ordered the same size but these are a smidge tight. Overall though, nice and light, good support, not terrible looking.
