Pros

Cons

  • That reviewer finds it takes getting used to and less cushioned than the Brooks they came from, and marks it worse than their last shoe.

Overall

After running in Brooks for the past 8 years I recently switched due to a sponsor change. The PI's take a little time getting used to but are light, not as cushiony however.
