Customer Reviews Brooks Dyad 10

After over ten years of searching for a shoe for Supinators and heavy walkers, I've finally found the perfect fit! After 4-6 weeks, absolutely NO Visible wear on the outsides of these soles. Bravo Brooks!

The last Dyad I owned was the 8. I held off buying the 9 because of all of the negative reviews. Fortunately from my experience I think Brooks learned their lesson and made the Dyad 10 as comfortable as I remembered.... or at least close to it. It felt a little snug when I initially put it on, but it fits nicely now. I think it's a little lighter than what I was expecting. There was only one color available when I ordered it.... not my usual preference, but it's grown on me. I think it's going to hide dirt a lot better with this color scheme. I haven't actually run in them yet, but walking in them has worked out just fine.

With the new Dyad 10, it feels like they may have learned their lesson with narrowing the footwell. The 10 feels a little wider than the 9 which is a good thing. The shoe also feels lighter. Now onto the bad, the shoe seems lighter because it feels like they cheaper on the material. Gone is the good side support which has been replaced thin lightweight fabric. Add to the fact they opted for grey and brown which doesn't go together all that well it seems like Brooks has stuck to the design idea of one step forward two steps back.

I found the new Dyad 10 to be better and worse than the Dyad 9. While the shoe feels like it runs a little wider in the toe box, the rest of the shoe feels a bit narrow. On top of that Brooks seems to have opted for cheaper materials so the shoe is lacking the support it once had in the side of the shoes. There is a noticeable difference in materials between past Dyads and this model while this probably lets the shoe breathe better and lends itself to a slightly lighter shoe, it removes the side support the shoe was once known for. Add to that the ugly color options and you have another mixed bag shoe from Brooks.

Brooks improved the looks with the Dyad 10 over past models. A very stable shoe and full of cushion like walking on a cloud. Only thing to make these better would be if Brooks offered additional color options.

Very happy to find what seems to be a truly-neutral shoe. It has good cushioning & my knees feel better when I wear them. Too bad it's not wider but I just wear a very thin sock. Glad I read a review elsewhere which recommended them for supinators / under-pronators. Most running shoes are made for pronators & they hurt my knees.

I’ve used the size 13 4E Brooks Beast for over 15 years, except for two years when the fit wasn’t right. The last pair seemed to have less volume, and I decided to try the Dyad 10 this time. Tried it today on the treadmill for my daily 3.5 miles and it was very comfortable and slightly lighter than the Beast. Just ordered a second pair.

Have trouble getting enough room in the toe box part of the shoe. The Brooks Dyad has a more generous toe box than most shoes. It fit true to size. In most other brand shoes have to go up a half size or more to get extra room.

I bought these shoes from a specialty store and am writing the review specifically because I don't get all the negative reviews. These are the best shoes I've ever worn. I wear 12.5 wide with moderately high arches which means I have a hard time finding shoes are as comfortable and supportive as these.

My husband has been a loyal Dyad wearer since version 6. He loved everything about them — up until version 9 (which was TERRIBLE). These are a step back toward the right direction, but they are nothing like the original Dyad. They might as well be a different shoe. They look and fit very different, mainly because of the removable insole and mesh-style upper. All that said, Brooks DID fix the width issue that plagued the horrific Dyad 9, so that's a good thing. My husband wishes these had more structure like the Dyad 8 (his all-time favorite), but these are an acceptable running shoe.
