How it ranks
The Brooks PureCadence 6 sits about average for daily trainers in our data. Durability and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 4 runner reviews and 5 other rated shoes in the PureCadence product line. Another 8 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Decent
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.
Confidence
53/100
