I’m bummed. I have a pair of PureFlow 6 in size 7 that I was super happy with, can walk for miles and miles no problem. Got the PureFlow7 since I could use another pair, thinking I’d be just as happy. Nope. Got size 7 again, but too small. I measured both pairs and found the length the same, but the width was slightly narrowed on the new pair. So I ordered a 7.5. These fit better size wise, felt good walking around the house, thought things were good. So I went for an easy 30 minute walk. Starts out ok. Halfway through, my feet are feel bad and starting to ache. By the time I neared home they were killing me. Like walking on bricks. Something about the arch support here is not as good as with the PF6. I’m also less of a fan of the material and padding especially on the tongue (the PF6 has a thin foam tongue, PF7 has a bulky foam tongue). When I returned home I put on my PF6’s to compare and my feet felt instantly relieved and happy. So definitely a problem with the new shoes. I’m ready to send these back....
Shame because I love the PF6 so much and they have the breathability that I need. These are also cute. But not worth it if they hurt so much!

Was so disappointed to learn the PureCadence is no longer being made - I have been a loyal wearer of them since the original. The PureFlow just does not fit anywhere near how the Purecadence did, my knees bother me and my feet hurt after wearing them. The also do not have a connect feel to me, they feel clunky and the toe box is too wide. I'm sad I'm going to have to move on to another brand but I've been left with no other choice at this point.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes. They don?t make my feet look big or bulky. Very comfortable and my feet never hurt. These are my second pair.

I have run in Nikes for years and regret not making the switch sooner. I love the stability. My knee and feet feel great. The shoe finder helped me find a good fit. Thankful.

Wonderfully comfortable, Super plush. May have slowed me down some... hopefully just need some adjustment time.

I liked the shape of these shoes but ultimately they just felt really really stiff. Both the soul and the fabric. When i was running with my boyfriend even he noted how loud my strike sounded. The low drop felt really good though

Comfy right out of the box. No break in time needed. Good arch support . I’m normally an 8.5 but had to size up to a 9.
Highly recommend

Absolutely love this style of shoe!! I have owned 7 pairs of the pure flow 7s and can't recommend them enough. I teach, train, run, live in them. Love the slimmer design and especially love low drop of this shoe. Very good support for people with high arches.

I love this shoe! I can feel the ground, which I like, but also feel supported. The toe box is spacious too, and it does not rub against my heel like previous shoes have.

I will never ever wear another brand of running shoe. They are so cushioned and the bumps on the soles make you feel like you're bouncing off the pavement! They are just a tad tight in the toes, thickness wide, so my big toenail runs a bit, my toenail turns up slightly. But I have ran in pure flow for years the just keep getting better and better!

My first pair of actual running shoes. Initially bought my normal shoe size not paying attention to the go up half a size advice. Ended up exchanging for a half size bigger SO TAKE THE ADVICE! Love these. I have mostly flat feet and this provides support but not too much where it's painful and I can't tolerate it. Helped eliminate my knee pain from bad shoes in the past.

For the money, these are by far the best Brooks I have purchased. Actually these are my 2nd pair of this exact shoe!

I love running in Pure Flow. These are great for narrow feet. I always go a half size up for a comfortable run. I have run 2 marathons and many other shorter races in these shoes.

Wish these were more like the last model. These feel stiff and are hard to run in. The fit was fine, but not as comfortable as I was hoping. I?ve been buying this style since 2010. Some models are hits. Some are missed. This is a miss.

I really wanted to like these - I chose these through the "Find my Shoe" finder on the Brooks website. I've been running and walking in these for about 2 weeks and have developed horrible pain in my left knee. I have wider feet and a flat arch. I'm sad to have to be returning these but I'm planning on reordering the Adrenaline since those have worked well for me in the past. The shoe itself is very attractive and stylish.

These are the best low profile running shoes I have ever had. I started wearing the PureFlow when it first came out and am now stocking up since they are discontinuing, very disappointing that they would do so. Good shoe for any distance. Nice cushioning and ride.

Perfect balance of comfy and lightweight with good support. I?ve suffered from plantar fasciitis and shin splints so the shoes that I normally buy are so bulky because of all the added arch support. These shoes fit my needs without feeling like I have weights attached to my ankles.

So far so good. Very light weight. Roomy toe box. Wish it had more of a heel to toe drop. The 4mm is great I?d love 4.5-5mm.

I've ran in Asics for probably 15 years. I made the switch because my Asics have been too tight in the toe area, even though I always go a 1/2 size up. I LOVE THIS SHOE! I still ordered a 1/2 size bigger and they are great. A lot of room in the front part of the shoe, no issue with crowding. They don't slide down when I do burpees or mountain climbers in my fitness classes and are very comfortable during my runs. Extremely satisfied.
