Customer Reviews Brooks PureFlow 7

Fit and size just right. Have the Pureflow 6 and love them so bought the Pureflow 7. My feet are a little wide and these fit me well. I needed a shoe with a heel to toe offset of 4mm and these work well.

Oh how I miss the original Pure Flow and Pure Connect shoes! The new Pure shoes just don't have the same cushioning and support. The turquoise color is adorable and these shoes are pretty comfortable, but even just walking around the house in them I can tell they are not a shoe I can trust to take care of my feet for the miles and workouts I want to get. Darn!

I was looking for a pair of low-drop shoes and these were nice - although I would recommend ordering up a half size from your usual Brooks size. I wear a size 7, and wear a 7.5 in other Brooks styles, but would have needed an 8 to wear socks. Oddly, though, the bottom of the shoe made a loud squeaking noise when I walked on wood and tile floors in my house. If you're just going to wear them outside, this won't matter, but I wear shoes like this inside as well as out, so it was a no-go for me.

This was my fourth pair of brooks shoes. I normally wear a size 8, and always upsize for my sneakers to 8 1/2. The 8 1/2 barely allowed my foot in, my sister who is a 7 1/2 said they were small on her too. I ordered the nines, which fit much better.

Was disappointed that the material of this shoe, is not nearly as nice as PureFlow 6. Seems a bit flimsy

I purchased this shoe because it is plain in style. After reading the reviews I ordered a half size up. The shoe felt snug and I didn’t feel the padding in the footbed was sufficient for a long day of walking.

These shoes were cute and low profile. They were comfortable but I donor like a lower heel base so I returned them.

The only problem have is that they make a noise when i walk .

Holding these shoes, they looked cute out of box. However the raised front / toe looked a little weird; and due to the fabric felt a little too plastic and rigid for me.

Well-made shoe, but the toe box has an extra interior support that makes it look and feel somewhat like a steel toe boot. May be what some folks are looking for, but it's not for me.

Purchased to use at the gym in a variety of classes - I do not run so can't contemplate how they would be for that. The insoles are removable which I did - use my orthotics. They squeak because the inside of this shoe is rubber and the bottom of my orthotics are plastic so that's been funny. They are flatter than my other athletic shoes (don't know technical term) - my heel is more even with the ball of my foot which took a few days to become used to but I find it is more comfortable and less fatiquing so I like that. The "spread" of the heel is rounded so it allows for the different exercises in gym class and has less drag on the floor or step. They don't have much bounce but I don't feel my joints handle it any differently. I got the grey on grey because the other color combinations didn't work for me - they go with different outfits so I like that. FIT: I have wide feet so can fit Wide 7, Regular 7.5, Regular 8. It said order up a size so I ordered 8.5 - they are snug/perfect on width and 1" long. The only other thing I could do is Wide 8 which would have been perfect but these are working no issues. That is something to consider - I would say these run a bit narrow.

First off I have to say these brooks are much more attractive than most. I really like the design and look of them. With that being said, they are extremely narrow. I wear a women’s 7.5-8 shoe. Typically I order size 8 in brooks. Definitely go up a half size in these shoes as they have a tendincy to run small!! All in all a good shoe

I used the pure flow 6 for Jazzercise so I had to try the 7s since I can’t find 6s anymore. So far so good. Enough cushion but not a super thick sole. Flexible shoe and easy to move side to side in.

Fit and size were right on. Wear to work everyday and are good.

I had a pair of these previously but quickly stopped trying to wear them for race walking because they were too hard, clunky and in-flexible. Then I read a Zappos evaluation that said that they had to be broken in quite a bit more than one would think. So - I tried the older ones again and found that when broken in more throughly, they worked pretty well. The toe box is wide and deep enough so that they fit when the standard insoles are removed and I insert my own 3/4 insoles. So, I bought an additional pair. I don't like either of them as well as the original model of the On Cloud, but since that was "updated" and ruined as far as I'm concerned, these Brooks shoes are better than the new On Cloud 2 which does not fit me at all. Finding a shoe that meets my needs is a sure sign that the model will be discontinued in the near future.

This is the second time to purchase these shoes, I need a wide toe box that they have. I tried another pair of Brooks because I wanted more in the sole but the toe box was too small, so these are the comprise.

Overall I liked these. The arch support is pretty good, the heel is comfortable, and the toe box could be slightly bigger but it's sufficient. The reason I returned was the back/ankle support: it was digging into my ankle in a very uncomfortable way that I foresaw to be painful in the future.

Really wanted to love these shoes, but already getting blisters on two places while wearing my normal Brooks pure flow size. Sadly returning.

These fit great! I got the solid gray and am pleased with their appearance. Looking forward to breaking them in!

They are very comfortable in that squishy soft sense. I've used them for running. The only down side is that I feel like my feet don't breathe in them well, and get quite hot ( even by just getting to the gym in them).

I kept these because I needed some new athletic shoes for a weekend trip and didn't have time to get something else but I don't love the look of the styling of the grey color with pink accents. Brooks PureFlow are my favorite style athletic shoe for fit, comfort, and durability. I bought the grey pinstripe color with the pink surround and in person that pink surround makes my foot look much larger than it actually is and is kind of neon and 70's looking to me. Since I already wore the shoes I kept them and covered that pink stripe with black marker - it looks okay but I wish I had planned ahead enough to exchange them for something else. After seeing them in person I think the black probably looks very nice - wish I had gotten them instead of this color. I am giving them a 4 stars for style because I think the style in this color is probably a 2 star and the black is probably a 5 star. The fit and comfort is wonderful.

I wear an 8.5 in regular shoes and always wear a size 9 in Brooks, hence the 1/2 size smaller rating. I have been a Brooks fan for 10 years. I loved the PureFlow 6! I had worn out my pair and was disappointed that I could not find another in my size. I went to the PureFlow 7. Same size, same toe bed as 6, but a different fabric on top that supposedly is more breathable. I haven't noticed that. I still prefer the PureFlow 6, but I am keeping the 7! I cannot explain it...except that maybe the 6 holds my foot more in alignment?

This is my 6th pair of Brooks and third pair in the Pure Flow line. I had to go up a half size in these. I’ve never in my whole life worn an 8 but they fit good. Like the Pure Flow 6 better.

I received this shoe and thought it was instantly comfortable. I liked the softness in the heel area, which is better than most of the other Brooks' I have owned. However, the left shoe has a pop each time I take a step. I'm returning them.

I liked the pure flow 6 better- comfort and fabric
