Great shoe, little to criticize.

David Lacy · Feb 23, 2024

5/5

Overall

This shoe is a great shoe from Brooks. They did a great job with it. It has all the aspects you want in a "SUPER SHOE". It has great cushioning, looks, functionality. The full shoe plate gives a sense of springy response with every step. The good cushion feel last your whole run no matter the distance. The shoe has lasted me many hundred miles (500-600 total miles )and have many left. The only lacking it has is the tread. Its not there. it lacks substantial tread, but it does last a while. Another great selling point for this shoe is the affordability, you can easily find them for under $200
