I LOVE THESE SHOES!!!

Anonymous runner · Jan 25, 2020

5/5

Overall

Brooks Richochets were my first pair of Brooks I’ve ever owned. I am an avid runner and purchased these for my cross country season this past year. I ran in these shoes from the end of May to the end of October (nearly 450 miles). They provided me with endless support and durability (at an amazing, affordable price), and I would definitely recommend them to any runner.

Great feel with just the right cushioning and response. Shoe fits a bit long, however. The second pair I got was 1/2 size smaller, making the heel to toe transition nearly perfect.

Overall

This shoe is very comfortable, with nice cushioning and grip. It fits very nicely to the foot, and has an almost sock-like feel. While it is a bit heavy for me, it is perfect for easy and recovery runs because of the cushioning. I would recommend it for daily mileage.
