Customer Reviews Brooks Dyad 11

I bought these shoes in medium size hoping they would fit but no luck. They were too wide and rubbed on my toe as I walked. So it is back to my SAS shoes in narrow. Please offer more large sizes(I wear a size 11) in narrow widths. As always Zappos is great at returns. Thanks.

I bought these shoes in hopes the medium would fit. But no luck. They were to wide. Couldn’t find any narrow shoes in my size. So it is back to my SAS shoes that come in narrow size 11. But not much selection. Please offer more narrow width shoes in large women’s shoes.

Really wanted to like these shoes but after wearing them indoors an hour or two on three days, had sore spots on one foot and feet felt like they were falling asleep. I have high arches, but even loosening the laces to the extreme didn't allow enough room over arch. Toe box too narrow, mid shoe too narrow. Heel was fine but felt low compared with other shoes. Length was true to size. The material appeared to have some flex so I thought my feet would adjust. They didn't.

These seemed ok but after 5 minutes in them walking around on carpet, I could feel more fatigue in my legs. Will stick to other models of the Brooks.

Dyad has been one of my favorite shoes for a long time, but for some reason the Dyad 11 is causing me a great deal of pain on the outer side of my foot, mostly on the bottom. I compared them to a pair of my Dyad 9s and discovered the shape of the footbed is now more contoured and tapers in on the outside a bit. I also feel the arch support isn't quite as good as what I had with the Dyad 9 shoes. I think I’ll be searching for a new go to walking/running shoe.

I ordered my first pair back in August; went with Zappos' fit recommendations and the shoe (7.5 WW) was too big; sent 'em back for a 7 WW. Those seemed to fit pretty well so I kept them and have worn them 3 -4 times a week since. I came to the conclusion that they really were a bit too wide in the forefoot for me when I realized my forefoot was sliding side to side ever so slightly; it wasn't awful but I decided that if I get the shoes again I'll get a 7 W. BUT...after just slightly more than 4 months of wear, rotated w/ other shoes, I have a hole in the toe of the right foot. The tread on the shoe is just barely showing wear. I have not had good luck with the mesh uppers...my previous shoes were New Balance Fresh Foam and THEY wore through on the toes before the tread showed wear. I darned them like socks and wore them anyway; they've worn through again next to the darning but at least that lasted until the tread wore down. I'm not sure I can darn these because the hole is right along the reinforced toe-cap bit. I am so disappointed, because it appears that all the non-heavy-leather walking shoes are made out of this foamy mesh stuff. 4 months of light-to-moderate wear is not very long for $100+ shoes. But they have been comfortable to wear so I will probably try another pair...

the fit and sizing was great. I am really disappointed spending the amount of money I spent on these that they are already falling apart. I do wear them daily but I just thought spending on a better quality shoe would get me much more time out of them and sadly not the case with these:(

I have had several pairs of Brooks Dyads over the years and they serve me well. This time I ordered a Dyad 10, but was not thrilled with the gray color. I saw there was a new Dyad 11 in Navy and thought I would like that better. BUT, there are no seams, change of material in the toe area and I thought that made them look really wide. Also, the insole is thinner that any other Dyad I've had and I like the thicker one which I wear over my stiff orthotic. So, these go back and I keep the Dyad 10. Hopefully the Dyad 12 will go back to the older styling and insole.

I've heard so many good things about Brooks shoes that I ordered the Dyad 11. I liked the slim look. Not clunky at all. Zappos automated system recommended that a size 8 would fit me best. I purchased an 8.5W and while my heel slipped out when I walked my toes were touching the front of the shoe. There was very little support, and the cushioning was non-existent. I felt like I was walking on cardboard. Very disappointed in this well-known brand.

Really small, even tho ths is my standard size for Brooks. But worser, are incredibly heavy. (I actually had to look to see if men's accidentally sent--no.)

Really like these runners, except the toe box for my big toe was not wide enough, even though I ordered Wide. Seems like an error in design, disappointing, as I was ready to wear them.
