Customer Reviews Brooks Dyad 11

These have become my newest and almost favorite, but I'm very partial to the Beast 20's , but I do love the DYAD as well. If only they were made of a fabric that repels water and not sock soakable.

Brooks doesn't offer a variety of styles/colors for wider sizes which is disappointing. Functionally however, the shoes are excellent and absorb much of the impact of a good run.

Good shoe. Had to change the size to a 9 instead of 9 1/2.

I'm a walker 5 to 8 miles with my buddy the Jack Russell named Chase.

Great shoe for flat feet. When are you coming out with more designs? have to have a shoe that doesn't Pronate or supernate . please advise what other styles you have.

I have worn Dyads for several years. They make my feet feel great, they make me feel good, but they don't make my eyes feel so good. After a few months of use the toe box on my blue and black Dyad 11s are turning an ugly shade of green. They began as black. It would appear they are fading from the sun but I don't think that is likely. I am considering getting some new Dyads but am worried new ones would do the same thing. Have any other users experienced this same issue?

You manufacture your shoes smaller than their stated size. That's been true with all four pairs of Brookes I have owned. I normally wear an 11 but had to return them for a 13 to find a comfortable fit.

They fit my every day walking and working out. I leave them on most of the day.

This shoe is good for all of us with wide flat feet. It fits well but I found the Beast 20 to be more comfortable for my body mechanics. The Dyad fits well but was not supportive enough for my feet

I need a neutral shoe with a fairly stiff sole and lots of cushion in the insole due to arthritis. This shoe is great. It is comfortable, with lots of room in the toe box, but it would be better if the insole was thicker to provide a little more cushion (like the insole in the prior Beast models I have had).

very good shoe that accommodates inserts. This is my 7th pair. Thanks for expanding color selection

Great shoe; lots of support, good looking (have gotten several comments), used for walking. The foot bed is wide and supportive, leaving the upper mesh less prone to expanding and becoming less comfortable.

shoes are great to bad i couldn't get a pair of inserts that fit. this is my second pair

This is my third pair after being, so you can tell I really do like these shoes. My only rub is the wear I get on the outsole near the toe.

I decided to try something different and switch brands in search of a shoe that fit well, was relatively lightweight without sacrificing comfort and spring. The Dyad 11 is that shoe. - Pros - Super wide toe box, laces nice and hooks your heel in. It was comfortable for the first 2 months of running. I felt fast in these right away. -Cons- Color options are limited. You literally can't find the shoe anymore. After about 2 months you really start to feel the impact at longer distances/plantar pain came back. In the last month I added Cur Rex run pro inserts (pain has gone away) Lastly, these run about 1/2 size off of my old shoes. I am usually a 10.5 in ASICS and west the Dyad size 11 I'm going through about 3 pairs of shoes per year and if I can't find these on the shelf I'll likely have to go back to my old brand. I Bought a pair of these at Runners Depot in Late October, and will retire that pair for a new pair late February. I just bought the last pair in my size from Brooks online and worry I won't be able to find them in June.

I agree with the gentlemen who talked about the lining. As he mentioned, "These shoes work great with my custom orthotics. Roomy fit. The liner around the heels started tearing within the first couple months." I also had a pair of Dyad 10 where I experienced no problems. Actually spent 2 years in them and would have purchased them again, except I could not find them any where. That all said, it would be great if the next Dyad had a better liner and were slightly heavier. At 11.6 they are as about as heavy as the beast and much heavier than many other shoes for orthotic wearers like me.
