Customer Reviews Brooks Ricochet 3

Toe box is a little smaller than other styles of Brooks I currently have.

Bottom of shoes we?re comfortable but the attached tongue, held by elastic to the shoe, caused me pain. A good shoe, but my foot cannot tolerate the constant pressure. Had to return the shoes.

So I got a pair of ricochet 2s back in 2020 and loved them, ran about 400 miles on them. The Richochet 3s have a Sturdy toe box, springy, lightweight, decent arch support. The soft elastic around the ankle is still fantastic but the top of the shoe is less structured now and rubs against the top of my foot. It also doesn?t feel as supportive yet springy. The Ricochet 3 is thankfully minimalist-cute for a modern running shoe and allows for a lot of airflow so it should be fine for running in the heat. It?s a good shoe for waking and kept me comfortable during a 5k jog. I?ll probably try on one of the Brooks ghost models again to see if my feet need that level of support now.

They are beautiful (I purchased the blue) and are very comfortable. However, I was surprised and disappointed that they don't have a "real" tongue. They have laces, however, the flimsy fabric tongue is attached to the sides...no adjusting. Because of this they are more of a slip-on, though you can tighten the shoe with the laces. It feels like they won't last as long.

At first I was a little worried when I put them on because the back part pressed into my Achilles tendon a bit, and I thought it might cause blisters. However, it loosened up pretty quickly, and once broken in, these are one of my favorite pairs of running shoes. I would definitely consider another pair in the future.

I am really enjoying the Ricochet 3. They have a little more cushion than previous versions, but they still feel light and slim on the foot. I rotate them with the Revel 4. I know they are great for me because when I am wearing them, I don't think about them at all.

Doing the job so far. No longer make the shoe I used to have. Got these based on online questions. So far so good but not sure I absolutely love them.

This shoe is comfortable for my runs yet I?m not sure whether I like the stretchy tongue area. They are easy to slip on, but I?m wondering if they will be supportive enough on my ankle area.

These are nice for an everyday shoe. Would recommend for a gym shoe. I personally don't like them as a running shoe. They have a double knit-like layer, so they get really warm on runs. They also aren't supportive enough for me. I ran 6.2 miles in them just fine though and didn't have issues, just prefer my other supportive Brooks. The added sparkle in the grey/rose gold pair were a nice surprise. I probably won't buy another pair of this style.

they break the sock and the stones enter when running

Very comfortable shoe! Lightweight but easy to run in on my treadmill. Usually I?m not a fan of the ?elastic? type upper shoe but this one is great!

Love the shoe! Very comfortable but the color said black and I was expecting a black shoe. The color is actually a dark grey.

Love the sock-like feel of the ankle. Ordered a half size larger as they don't come in wide widths (why not?) and although it felt a little big at first it wasn't noticeable once I broke the shoes in.

Love my Ricochets but loved my 2?s better than the 3?s. I am a huge fan of the sock like flat knit upper compared to the new style. I felt more stable. I prefer the 3?s springiness. They definitely feel a bit better on that side. I don?t see that changed at all but these seem to have a better ride.

The shoe fits like a glove with plenty of room for my toes. The one thing that seems different from my last pair is the spring back. Still love them!

Not as shown...more gray than black. Overall love the shoe and how I feel after running just which the color was as shown

Very comfortable shoes able to wear it for 16 hours straight without any discomfort. Looking forward to buy a different color

Great for my runs but they are a little snug fitting. Definitely true to size. I would order half size bigger if you have wide feet!

Definitely NOT the color shown. ( More of a matte dark gray color. ) I am not happy with the color at all, but I am happy with the shoe.

I think the Ricochet 3 feels great and fits great. The perfect amount of cushioning for me. However, I was greatly disappointed in the color. I thought the shoe was closer to black as shown in the picture but it?s a dark gray. I kept the shoes for the comfort, not for the color.

I would give them 5* but for the difficulty I have getting them on. They are tight through the arch and my knees are bad. Very comfortable to walk in and I like them a lot.
