Favorite pair of running shoes

5/5

Overall

Every runner knows the best running shoes out there are usually brooks. I have 2/3 pairs of brooks along with new balances but out of all the running shoes I have, these are by far my favorite. I bought these about 2 years ago and broke them in pretty fast when I was training & running every day. They’re almost weightless, comfortable, durable, and the sole is my favorite part as it isn’t as thick as most other running shoes.
