Customer Reviews Brooks PureFlow 7

Was looking for a running shoe with a smaller midsole drop, and these were just the ticket! The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because these are a bit more snug than my other Brooks. I wear 8.5 in regular shoes, so usually get 9 in my Brooks, but I feel like I should have gotten 9.5 in these. I would have exchanged them, but with the shipping delay issues, didn't bother. I was also surprised with the gaps in the soles... when looking at the bottom of the shoes, you can actually see the fabric of the bottom of the shoes. This may make the shoes lighter, but is a little concerning if you were to step on a nail or something. Small stones do get caught in there, but that's only a minor annoyance. Overall I would buy these shoes again.

These are the greatest running shoes! Light and great overall fit!

Wow, these are amazing. I got these to try out a different type of shoe (I usually run in my Glycerin or Launch) that is more like a zero drop shoe. I thought they would take a bit of getting used to but nope - they were amazing from the first wear! I highly recommend these shoes - they are light and great for running, walking, and weights. Thinking of buying a second pair already!

I absolutely LOVED my Pure Flow 5, so I bought the newer model as a replacement pair. However, I was HIGHLY disappointed in this model. It is far less supportive and seems cheaper in quality. I do not use them for running at all (not even short distance), but I do use them as a gym shoe. If you loved an older model Pure Flow, I do not recommend the new model.

Not enough support/cushion for long distance runs...sticking with Ghost!

I miss my pure cadences but I was convinced to try these in my standard size 9. Every single run over 8 miles I get a bruise under my toenail bed resulting in a dying toenail. I upgraded to 9.5 but the problem still is happening. I have tried different socks but nothing helps. I've had to go with a different brand now but they aren't right either. It's been very disappointing and heartbreaking to lose my favorite shoes.

Toe box is smaller than in previous versions (and I still prefer Pure Cadence to Pure Flow, so thanks for discontinuing the better of the two). A weird crease is happening in the middle of the toe, pushing down to my foot. Every time my big toe presses down, the crease deepens. Weird that the shoe can't hold its shape, and it's uncomfortable.

Bring back the pureflow 6! The 7's are way too narrow and just uncomfortable for even shorter training runs. I had to go back to the 6's but you can't find them online anywhere now.

These are not as good as pure flow 6s. Too narrow and just feels more rigid and less flexible mesh. Also the soles trap rocks easily. Please bring back the 6s with a better sole that doesn't trap rocks.

It loved my pureflow 6's. These are fine, but as others have mentioned, they have a much narrower toe box. I can't wear these for long distances like I did with my 6's. If the pureflow came in more than 1 width, it wouldn't matter as much, but to make a single width model more narrow means it just doesn't work the same way anymore. I hope they add another width or return to the wider block with the next model.
