How it ranks
The Brooks Pure Grit 1 trails most trail shoes in our data. Durability and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 5 runner reviews and 6 other rated shoes in the PureGrit product line. Another 7 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Below average
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
