Brooks is my favorite shoe for line dancing. They provide good support for the twists and turns. Easy to clean, too.

I have worn Brooks for years. My others were Pure Cadence, but these are much better. Put them on and they immediately felt comfortable. I tend to lean outward in most shoes, but these feel very stable. Have ordered another pair, and will probably buy them when they are back in stock. Thank you Zappos for carrying my new favorite a such a modest price.

Merrell and Naot.

So light and comfortable! Brooks are my fave. I went to another brand for 6 months and won’t do that again. Wider toe boxes from Brooks are the best!

I loved the look of this shoe. However, I thought this shoe was a bit tighter than the Adrenaline 18 I was replacing. I returned them and ordered the Adrenaline 19.

I really like these shoes! The previous pair of these that I purchased were my first true running shoes. I had plans to run and these are fantastic running shoes. My knees had other plans, so I’m a walker instead - a power walker. These shoes are great for that too. I keep these shoes at work but wear them much of the workday as they’re too comfy to change out of after breaks or lunch. They have great arch support. They also have a wide, but not too wide, toe box. Roomy without looking ridiculous. I highly recommend them.

My 4th pair of Brooks Pureflow, and these are the most comfortable style yet!!! Great for indoor exercise, they don’t have a wide heel that can trip you up. Love them!!

Day 1: 13h of nursing; 5 miles total within the hospital. Shoes are grippy, supportive, great arch support, and won tons of compliments for style.
Day 2: 7 miles of running, 3 miles of walking; enjoyed every step. Will be getting a second pair for backup!

This is the first pair of Brooks I've ever owned. I was tired of the lack of support and cushion and high prices of other brands I had been wearing. I did go up a half size to find the right fit. The heal cup of the 7.5 rubbed me in a strange painful way. Even though the 8 is a little long, it doesn't hurt my foot. I'm not a runner so these shoes will be daily wear and have fit that need fairly well. I don't like spending a lot of money on shoes because I've often found you don't get what you pay for when it comes to comfort and durability. I'm on the fence if I will stay a Brooks buyer.

This shoe was advertised as true to size. I wear a size 8 in all shoes and that’s what I ordered. After I walked and ran in them 3 times, I developed a blister between my toes. They are very snug across the toe area and about a half size short. I love the sole and the cushion. I’m stuck with them because I’ve worn them. I’m very disappointed. Guess I’ll go back to Sauconys.

I wear a 7.5 M in Brooks glycerin. This shoe in a 7.5 M is extremely tight across the toe box and short. I will reorder an 8 and see if it makes enough difference. I love the looks of the shoe but it feels like the it is squishing the tops of my toes and ball of foot. The tread on the bottom of the shoe has extremely deep grooves, something to think about if you walk on gravel. It will hold all of the rocks in the sole until you dig them out. Thanks again for your great service Zappos.

They LOOK like they have a wide toe box but don’t feel like it. The fabric over the toe was frayed like they were worn already. I am not happy with them

My previous pair of runners were the Brooks Pureflow 5, and I loved them. These don’t feel as high quality. The arch support has decreased, the toe box is small, and the springiness that I loved about my last pair doesn’t seem to exist. They look great, and I’m hoping to like them more once I break them in..? But wouldn’t be my first recommendation.

This show was wayyy to narrow, I ended up getting blisters in multiple occasions under my pinky toes and near the end all over my foot, the shoe was also VERY hot ( it did not breath at all) and since I was using it in the summer it wasn’t ideal, the shoe picked up rocks wherever I went, and I couldn’t really get a secure fit for my heel. The midsole felt cushioned and soft, and the traction in the road, grad, and vet light trail was good those are the the only good thing.

Dang, I wanted to love these! The color and style was exactly what I was looking for. I love Brooks and have been wearing them since 2014. I've always ordered a 9 in all shoes, but saw that folks recommended to size up 1/2 a size. Ordered the 9 1/2 and went out on a short walk. By the time I got home, huge blisters on the backs of my ankles and squished toes. Ouch! I would say the recommendation should be to order a full size up. I'm reading similar reviews about sizing up with Brooks for other styles so now I think I need to re-think my sizing with this brand. I've loved them for a long time and hope to love them in the future, but beware of the sizing on this brand.

I wasn’t sure about these shoes but based on reviews I took a chance. They run way smaller than just one full shoe size. The fit is low so you’d think a full size smaller would fit lose but they were super tight. Maybe it’s just my foot but I wasn’t impressed.

I hated these. I've had every version and this was just awful. I feet hurt, no cushion, no support. Just overall a very strange fit. Do not waste your money.

The shoe is cute but compared to the pink and gray shoes of the same style they are way to short in the toes. Since I had another pair of the same style that I love I kept wearing them hoping they would stretch a bit. I do not like the quality control of Brooks shoes these days. I am going to try other brands.

Even though these are discontinued, I still rave on them to every runner I know! I've been running with pureflows since 2011-2012ish and have yet to find a shoe that compares. They were the perfect combination of lightweight, cushioned yet firm, extremely durable (I recently retired a pair I've been rotating heavily since 2018 - the treads last forever), and low drop! I love that they were low drop yet didn't have insane amounts of cushion like a lot of low drop shoes (ex: Brooks Aurora BL, New balance fresh foam more v4 and most Hokas). I've tried out similar models (Brooks revel, Altra torin & escalante, Hoka rincon, Saucony kinvara) but they either had too much foam/cushion, too high of a drop, or fell apart after a few runs. Since they're discontinued I'm stuck scouring the internet for used pairs. Please bring this shoe back! There is truly nothing that compares.

Please bring this back. I have had 4 pairs of these. My last ones are running out and they are truly the best for running and functional training. There is no other shoe like this for all around functionality.

Begging for this shoe to be brought back. I literally a pair in every edition. It is my absolute favorite running shoe. I have yet to find a shoe comparable. I just don't understand why you guys won't make this anymore
