Customer Reviews Brooks PureFlow 7

These are nice shoes and do not look like the typical athletic shoe. Good for walking.

Very cute shoe. But, really no support. Rubbed on my inside of my left foot. I'm a nurse & on my feet all day. I need a shoe that is comfortable & supportive.

Brooks is my new go to shoe brand for athletic walking shoes. This is my second pair and I wear them almost daily. My usual size of 7.5 medium width fit well. I am very satisfied with this shoe.

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.

I absolutely love Brooks!!! These are amazing.

These shoes are so comfortable and fit so true to size that I have bought the same item twice. I have also purchased earlier versions of this style multiple times in the past. Feels like running on clouds. I overpronate and yet these neutral shoes work better for me than the bulkier stabilizing styles.

Awesome shoe, looks & feels high tech, lightweight, and stylish. I just bought my second pair, both in grey/black/green size 9.5 B, because I want to have a spare when the original pair wears out. I normally wear 9, sometimes 9.5, and Brooks runs small so 9.5 fits me perfect in this model. Brooks calls this a neutral support shoe, but i find it supportive with one mod: My foot doctor recommended I use orthotics because I overpronate, so I replaced the liner with my favorite orthotic foot liner (Sole Active, in men's 7 / women's 9). The result is that arch support feels great, like a hug for my feet. I credit the shoe for working well with my foot & the orthotic, since I've tried the same orthotic in a few other running & hiking shoes without this much delight. I'm seriously happy when I put them on in the morning. It's hard to explain. I like the grey/green because of the grey-colored sole which makes this shoe look good for everyday wear, instead of white soles which look a little out of place outside of their intended activity, at least to my eye. I wear these to work, to-from yoga & errands, walking, running. They look okay with jeans and great with athletic leggings. The one slightly weird thing about this shoe is that the tread has deep crevices that tend to pick up pebbles (and you won't want to slog through mud with these). However, the cushion of the tread feels good underfoot and the design contributes to the light weight of the shoe.

I have a narrow foot and these felt a bit too wide for me. I like the look but these are going back.

This is my second pair and the most comfortable trainers I have ever had. Love these. I usually wear a 9 and bought a 9.5 in both pairs I have had of these and do not find them to be overly big as some 9.5 can be. I love them. I also have wide feet and they are perfect.

I've been trying to get these shoes for months from small businesses. I normally buy all my running shoes from small biz, but after receiving bad and pompus service at one and being told that these couldn't be ordered in this color at another, I bought them at Zappos. It was INSTANT LOVE with the fit! I'm a 7.5 in regular shoes and normally I buy an 8 in running shoes, but I've had Brooks Pure Connects before and I recommend buying your normal size in them. Total love and great running/sleek and stylish sneaker for traveling!

Love these shoes! I have been wearing them for about six months, and my feet feel great in them. I have Morton's neuroma, so I like shoes with a lower heel drop - these are 4 mm. That takes the pressure off my forefoot while maintaining great heel control. I normally wear size 9M, and that is what I ordered. As some people have suggested, if you wear these for running, you may want to go up a half size - I do not wear these for running. I recently ordered a pair of Pure Cadence 7, since the color choices in the Pureflow, other than the gray and aqua, are not to my taste. I like the Pure Cadence, but still prefer the Pureflow, so I am going to order a new pair in black. Hopefully, Brooks will come out with more color choices.

I thought they fit true to size and had a nice roomy toe box

I’ve been wearing the pure flows since #4. I love them. The 6 had a really big toe box, more than needed and the 7 cut that down to a more reasonable size (still very roomy, just not ridiculous). The 7 is slightly smaller than the 6, I have been wearing size 11 forever, and this was the first time my toe hit the front. I’ll be ordering a half size up if available. The top material isnt my favorite, but the shoe is great and I’m willing to overlook the weird fabric.

This is a very comfortable shoe. The toe box is very roomy & the arch support feels great - things I always like about Brooks. For me though, the design accentuated how big my feet are (my foot is pretty large for my size (size 10) & I'm 5'6") - so these are going back. I'll buy another pair of Brooks for certain, love the brand just not this design for me.

This is my second PureFlow 7 purchase this year and I continue to be satisfied. I put about 20-25 miles on the shoes each week and they continue to work well with my aging knees and ankles. They're wide in the toe box and appropriately narrow in the heel. They're very lightweight but support nicely. Highly recommended!

Perfect from the minute I put them on. The best of the PureFlow series for me.

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.

Amazing running sneakers!

These are my third pair of Pure Flow and I love them (actually wish there were more colors, but hey it's about the shoe, right?). They run true to size including width and I put about 40 walking miles on them a week taking the dogs out. Folks ask me about them, so thinking they look pretty good, although that's not my concern. I have arches you could drive a truck under and worry about that over time, but these shoes provide plenty of support - I don't put my orthotics in. These are a good bet for looks, comfort, durability, weight, etc., etc.

The fit was fine, as I have large feet and I always worry about it. I had another pair of Brooks, so I was happy with the price, etc. As soon as I put them on they made a very loud "flopping" noise from the front, which I have never experienced before with an athletic shoe. I tried them for a run and the noise was so distracting and you could here me coming from a distance away! I could never concentrate or race with these shoes. It was so great that I was able to return them and I went back to my old reliable, Brooks Glycerin, which has always been great.

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.

True to size. The heel felt very stiff at first but it quickly loosened up. Very comfortable. Good for side to side movement.

Too narrow but I like the shoe Toe box is much more durable this version

These are my favorite sneakers ever

Been wearing a few weeks and very comfortable
