How it ranks
The Brooks PureFlow 7 trails most daily trainers in our data. Value and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 9 runner reviews and 5 other rated shoes in the PureFlow product line. Another 3 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
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.

89/100
“This shoe is just too firm for me and even after 150 miles hasn't softened at all.”
“My pairs get pretty beat up but I still get plenty of miles out of them.”
“They feel amazing on the road and paths of dirt or cinder.”
“Love the low drop and big toe box.”
“After some arduous runs the toe box fabric has broken down.”
“Rocks and mulch were constantly getting stuck in the treads.”
“The upper had no panels and was almost stretchy.”
“A pebble occasionally might get caught in the space in the bottom of shoe—a slight design flaw.”
“The shoe wore down quickly and became uncomfortable.”
“Not enough cushioning or road feel.”
