Customer Reviews Brooks Dyad 11

Please, please, please find some different and cool colors for the Dyad. I have so many pairs in the same color.

These shoes are as comfortable as the Dyad 10. Great shoes! Thanks!

Good shoes, but I'm 2 minutes faster in the hoka rincon 2. Better for walking than running.

It's comfortable. It's not heavy. I like it, I need time to adjust to it.

The size I ordered 12 Medium was just a little uncomfortable . I will opt for the wide on my next order.

This shoe is light and flexible for your feet, i prefer a little more stability. I do love the color, and wish the Ariel EE wide was offered in this same color.

Dyad 11 is a good neutral show for my supination problem. However, it runs a little narrow for my wide foot. I wish it came in 4E. I had to return it.

These shoes fit tighter than I expected. Even loosening the shoestrings (then hardly enough to tie my shoes) didn't work.

Toe box is a bit too narrow for me and the shoes is not wearing very well. I use on treadmill, exercycle and general daily wear. After about a year of use, ankle collar is wearing and the sole is wearing across the ball of my foot. Have not had this experience with any of my other Brooks models.

Love the stability and style of this shoe. I have wide feet so I ordered a wide. The first 3 times I wore them I had blisters- on my high instep . I have kept them and hopefully they will break in.

The wide width is true to size, however it's not as firm as I thought it would be. It could do with some more cushioning

I needed an extra wide pair of shoes for post fracture recovery. Dyad 11 was the only one in my size to offer that option. I own several pairs of Glycerine 20 so the bar was set high. I found Dyad 11 to be quite stiff in movement and bit too heavy. Returned for that reason.

TL;DR - shoes returned due to poor traction on wet, pebbly concrete and cobblestone. My first Brooks shoe was a Glycerin 19. I'm a walker, not a runner. Had to replace my Glycerins, so I again did the online which shoe for you questionairre, and went into the store to try on the Glycerin 20 and Dyad 11. I only walked around the store, but the Dyad 11 just felt better and more supportive, so I went with it. Unfortunately, I have returned these shoes. On dry pavement/concrete the traction was just fine. However, when the ground was wet and I stepped on any pebbly type of concrete or european cobblestone there was a loss of traction and it had me worried I would step wrong, slip and fall on my backside. The other slight issue was the tightness around the ankle, while this added to the support of the shoe, if worn too long it caused too much ankle pain on the top of the foot. I found if I loosened them it was fine, but then it felt just like I was wearing the Glycerin. I really wanted to keep this shoe, but ultimately it was the traction issue. In the PNW it's too risky having a walking shoe with a slippery sole. Going to go back to the Glycerin - fingers crossed!

This is the third pair of dyad that I've purchased and they have all been different. This last one is the least satisfying fit.

I bought this shoe to replace my old Revel 2 shoes. The Revel 2 was such an engineering marvel at how well it balanced my foot. This shoe, not so much. It's just OK and the sole does not provide proper support for all parts of the foot and therefore as I wear it, I start to feel pain on my instep. I wish they would do a better job with this shoe.

Loved my ghost 13s. This shoe definitely has a roomier toe box but is not as cushioned as the ghost. I think they will be ok once I break them in.

These are great shoes and I've relied on them for years. I wear them all day every day to help with foot and back problems I have. I was surprised and disappointed when I ordered the Dyad 11 version. The toe box is quite a bit larger/wider and it also seems to have a more pronounced arch support. These changes did not work for me and immediately caused problems with my spinal and foot alignment. In the past, this has been the only shoe I could find that gives me the great support I need in a wider women's shoe with a neutral arch. I'm sad that my favorite shoe is no longer meeting my needs.
