Customer Reviews Brooks Dyad 11

The fit is awesome. After I found these would never go back to Brooks addiction. Very cushy and the right width. The navy/beetroot color is more of a dark teal green than navy but I love the color because it's different. The width across the tongue could be wider and the tongue could be longer. I have a high arch. It seems the older model was more ample in that area. But very very comfy and stable shoe. Ample length shoe laces. Would buy again!

I have never been IN BEWEEN half sizes, that that was my experience with this shoe. The size nine felt too small, but the size 9.5 felt too large. Wierd. Other than that this is a good show.

Well....I typically order a 6.5 - 7, W - WW. Zappos recommended I get this shoe in 7.5 WW. Since I had never purchased any Brooks shoes before, and some of the reviews did seem to indicate it ran small, and Zappos was spot on by recommending I get Taos Moc Stars in a 7.5, I went with their recommendation. Unfortunately, I thought the shoe looked awfully big when I pulled it out of the box and my foot is swimming in the 7.5 WW. It felt comfortable enough that I'm going to return and reorder the 7 WW. I will write a review about the actual shoe itself once I get the correct size.

Way way tight too short if laces, no comfort

I had to return the shoes, since they were too small for my feet. I bought another pair of Dyad 11 in the past and the size was perfect. I do not understand why these with the same size did not fit. I suppose that the sizes indicated are not consistent.

I have been purchasing the Brooks Dyad for many years now and it has undergone some good changes and some not so good changes. These are not as nice as the Brooks Dyad 10 and the changes are not good. I loved the Brooks Dyad 10 and purchased a minimum of 3 pairs this past year. The Dyad 9 was a good shoe too. The Dyad 11 is a longer shoe than the Dyad 10 so plan on ordering down. I have worn 7 1/2 shoes for years, but had to order the 7. When I compared the shoes side by side, they are the same size! The heel in the Dyad 11 does not as feel as deep as the heel in the Dyad 10. My heels slip in these because of the difference. There is something different about the insole and the shoes themselves as well. I have always been able to put a pair of Dyads on and wear them with no feet issues. However, I wore these one day and my plantar fasciitis started to act up and my ankle was sore. I am hesitant to wear these again as it takes several days to recuperate when this happens and I like to walk. On the plus side, I need extra wide shoes and these are perfect. But with that said, I am not sure I can continue wearing them due to the shorter heel and poor insole and/or arch support. Although I have been happy with Brooks over the years, this sneaker might be a deal breaker. I am contemplating returning them for the issues mentioned. If you loved the Dyad 9 and 10, don't expect these to be the same.

I looked for shoes that could work with my over pronation (supination) and plantar fasciitis in my left foot. The shoes also needed to have removable footbeds to accommodate my custom orthotics. I ordered these shoes in Wide width and a half size larger than what I normally wear based on reviews. The fit was fine but they were very stiff shoes and quite uncomfortable. They rubbed my interior and exterior ankle bones on my left foot which was frustrating. And, in real life, they are not any prettier than in the photos on this website. I returned them.

no support felt like i was walking on sole

This shoe has very little cushioning, making every step uncomfortable.
