How it ranks
The Brooks The Wire 3 is one of the strongest racing shoes in our data. Value and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 1 runner review. Another 11 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Current estimate: Excellent
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
