Customer Reviews Brooks PureFlow 7

They run a little narrow but I love how light they are

Really comfortable. Love the low drop. Only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the narrow toebox. Great price. Would buy again.

Very satisfied. Like the fit and the foot strike. I find the upper material doesn't breath and is way too hot for warm weather running.

Comfy and sturdy, lasted me five months while I was doing 65MPW. My only complaint is the space between the treads. I do most of my long runs on mixed gravel/dirt roads and if I step on a rock wrong, I get stabbed in the foot. This happens more frequently as the shoes get older. The top part of the shoe also ripped after a few weeks and my left big toe would poke out... Maybe make the treads closer together and add something to the top of the shoe to make it less prone to ripping?

Good shoe for running so far. A bit on the tighter side but good for running

I've worn Brooks shoes, different models (Launch, Ghost, Cadence and Flow) for years and have liked every pair I've owned. The Flow model is lightweight, with a minimal drop but has enough cushioning for a long run. My only complaint would be that the laces are ridiculously long and I wear a size 14. My favorite Brooks model were the Cadence which have been discontinued. Bring them back!

Love the shoe. I wish the toe box was a little wider.

They are very comfortable. My only complaint is the back part rubs my ankle and gave me a blister unless I wear higher socks.

So far this has been the best model for me when exercising. It's comfortable and weight is perfect. The tread is holding up better than other models I've tried. The picture of the shoe on the site is slightly different than it is in person. At certain angles, the shoe on the site looks more grayish and the laces look gray but in person the laces are black.

Nice and light. Allow for a good feel for the ground. Haven't done a super-long run yet.

Probably my favorite running shoes at the moment. Reasonably lightweight and nimble while still providing good protection and some cushioning. I've used them for long runs, tempos, easy runs, and faster work, and they've felt good for all of these. I like the 4mm drop, the rounded heel, and the responsive feel firm but flexible. I appreciate that there are no frills, no bells and whistles; it's a stripped-down shoe that suits forefoot strikers and doesn't get in the way of a natural stride. They're not too squishy like some other shoes in the same category, and I've found them to be fairly durable (got > 500 miles out of a pair). The fit is great and comfortable. Only complaint is that the outsole shape makes it a bit of a rock collector, but this is only rarely much of an issue. Brooks might consider trying elastic laces to help keep the fit secure without causing irritation on the top of the foot, but this would really just be a cherry on the top of a terrific shoe.

This shoe is light, and fits great. But the soles are designed for running. The toe pulls up to offer a nice curved sole for running, but just standing around is sort of awkward. So for any avoidance of doubt, this is a running shoe... unlike my older Pure Cadence 4s, which I can wear to the gym and work out in and go running. But as far as running shoes go, this is a good one.

Good balancedoes not feel true to size

My favorite marathon shoe but would like it in more lightweight breathable mesh materials.. the shoe is too hot for Summer. Also I am extremely disappointed you are disconti using it and especially since your not making a replacement. I have already started to try other 4mm drop shoes.

These fit perfectly and feel great. My only reservation is that after a couple of weeks, my outer shins really started hurting-- like fire! I removed the original insoles and replaced them with SuperFeet Green and Voila! Running shoe perfection, I couldn't be happier, seriously... I haven't loved a running shoe this much in years (and have had dozens of other Brooks' as well as 900-series NB, and misc. Nike's).

Overall, solid running shoe. I would have preferred less cushioning and bulk so I can feel the road more, however, the shoe feels good so far. I love the low drop, which is why I bought them, but I wish there were an option with less bulk.

Excellent light road running shoe. For those that enjoy running in a minimalist shoe(4mm heel drop). Tends to fit small in the forefoot. Either get a 1/2 size up or get a wide.

I have run this model for a year or so. Good fit, durable, lightweight, etc... Insoles are far too soft (makes my foot numb). I typically throw away and replace with insoles from some old inov8s.

Very comfortable shoe. I like the flatter bottom. My biggest beef is that the bottoms collect lots of mud a debris

Fantastic low drop shoe. Excellent spring from each step. Well ventilated. Great heel fit. True to size. Needs 1-2 mm more width in the toe box.
