Customer Reviews Brooks PureFlow 7

I am a barefoot girl, but longer runs and age have forced me into shoes with some cushion. I have tried many and have been happy with very few (maybe none). This running shoe is comfortable. I am at the end of my training for a half marathon with feet killing me from zero drop flats. These barely needed breaking in - roomy toe-box, moderate support, and it doesn't force my foot into an un-natural position. LOVE.

These are amazing running shoes! And do they ever grip the road. I wear a size 7, purchased a 7.5, and they fit perfect. They say to size up at least a half size when running to account for swelling. I have a normal arch with flexible feet. What the heck does that mean?! It means my feet collapse and appear to be flat when I stand on them. Anyway, it was because of my foot shape that I used to think I needed stability shoes, when running. So I used to have the Pure Cadence. I did love those, don’t get me wrong, but these work better for me! After much internal debate, I got the black and white ones. So glad I did! I’m usually a “colorful running shoe” girl, but mainly because I never had a choice in the matter (most running shoes are colorful af). Whatever color you choose, I think you’ll love them, even if you are just looking for a casual walking shoe. Enjoy!

These shoes fit as expected and they don’t make my size 12 feet look too big.

This is my 4th pair of Brooks Pure Flow shoes. I get a new pair every 9-12 months. I love them. I have slightly wide feet and the toe box fits well. They are good for weightlifting and shorter runs.

These shoes feel amazing! I tried on several workout shoes, and these were above all the rest. There is a nice heel cup, love the zero drop, and the sole is comfortable and flexible. These just conform to my feet in all the right places, while feeling light with nothing poking into my feet. Very smooth and soft fit. I don't even know I'm wearing them because they feel so great.

The only reason I didn't keep these is that they're much more built up in the heel than I like (to the point of effectively being a half inch of lift). They've very comfortable, they weigh NOTHING, and they look sharp. The upper is one solid piece of thin fabric, glued into the sole, which might be a little concerning for durability (although, again, I didn't keep the shoes; they could be fine).

These feel great and are perfect for walking/running. My only issue is the sole. There are really wide spaces in the tread and every single time I wear them I get rocks/gravel stuck in them. More than a few, it sounds like I am tap dancing on the street. It’s fine if they are small stones but if the bigger ones get in I can feel them. I have to remember not to wear them inside the house as I will scratch the hardwood floors!

Fit of these shoes was good, but comfort for long distances was not as good for me. The shoes are supportive but not as flexible as some other minimalist shoes that I am used to.

I have worn brooks for years and these are horrible.. the only thing that’s a positive is the color. Horrible support . Rubbed blisters on both big toes which never happens to me. I would not even Purchase these again to just have to walk in.

Love these shoes. Super comfortable

Brooks Pure Flow are the BEST shoe for people who are on their feet 12-+ hours a day.. I’ve suffered plantar issues.. and add a lift, buy 1/2 size larger , good to go

I love these shoes -- how they fit, how they look and especially, how they feel. I have been wearing Brooks Pure Flow since 2011! (Not the same pair, LOL, I purchase new ones approximately every 6 months -- I wear them a lot!)

Great shoes, but they do run a half size smaller than my other Brooks. Order up!

This shoe felt pretty good upon initially putting it on, however, after wearing it for about 10 min, I noticed my heels were sore feeling. I did a short mile run on the treadmill to see if running would be any better in them, but the medial side of my heels both were so sore afterwards! On the positive side, I love the look of these, and the toe box fit is great.

Super disappointed in the Pure Flow 7. Brooks unfortunately didn't come out with the Pure Flow 8 in 2019 like they should have so we are stuck with the 7 design for 2 years, UGH! I LOVED Pure Flow shoes and have worn/raced in them for years, until the 7 version. Feels bumpy and uneven to wear; makes my feet actually get sore from the shoe hitting spots it shouldn't and pressing hard in those areas. Overall feels too tight and confining compared to older models. Hard for my toes to splay and the arch hits at the wrong spot on my foot and causes soreness. Weird, never had any of these problems with past Pure Flow models. Love the lower drop and lower cut around the ankle, but those are the only good points I can come up with. Please Brooks, bring back something similar to the Flow 6 which was an awesome shoe - and soon please! Still searching for something that works as good at that shoe did. Thanks to ZAPPOS for allowing us to shop/return SO easily when these shoes just don't work out. YOU GUYS ROCK!!

I got these in an 8.5 and a size 9. Unfortunately, they both fit the same. I checked the box and tag inside all the shoes. Although, the sizes were as marked, they still felt too small all around. Pretty comfortable shoes, but I could tell that they were just too small for me.

I walk 5 miles a day in all weather and varying terrain. Brooks are one of my walking shoes of choice. This pair is slightly shorter but more importantly the toe box is stiff and just doesn’t give enough. I can’t get to the post office right now so I’m keeping these shoes and hoping they soften up a bit with use.

I really like these shoes for shorter training runs and track workouts. I don't think they provide enough support for runs over 10 miles. I do recommend them though. Lightweight and moderately comfortable.

I ordered a half size up, based on other reviews. Fit perfectly.

Terrific shoe, feels padded and cushioned and is a great purchase. The discontinued PureFlow 4 was a better studio shoe (for turning: dance, zumba) but I'm not seeing those type of soles in current versions.

My daughter loves this style. Good support for everyday. Brooks has great quality.
