Love this shoe!

Overall

I have bought and run in all the Brooks PureCadence line (aside from the very newest one) and it is, overall, a solid shoe. The 6th rendition is probably the best one since the 2nd one. Super comfortable and high preforming. Only gripe is the shoe laces are super long.

Brooks PureCadence 6

Anonymous runner · Jul 2, 2018

5/5

Overall

I'm partial to Brooks shoes, as they fit my feet extremely well. This is no exception. I've not has this pair too long, but I do like how the shoes fits and feels. The 3D print upper makes it feel like I'm wearing a slipper...a very, very comfortable fit. This shoe was selected because of the lighter weight aspect, and for the low/medium arch support. I plan on using this shoe for racing later this year. The "appearance" rating is subjective, as the color scheme in grey-scale, as it were. My preference is a slightly brighter-colored shoe. The color choice, in now way, detracts from the shoe's quality and performance. I would definitely get this model again.

Light and grippy on the road and sturdy enough for gravel and trail. I highly recommend these shoes.

I've been in love with the Pure line since it launched and am now on my 15th+ pair of the Pure Cadence. It is comfortable, light and my go-to shoe for everything.
