The last and wide toe box are designed great.

Painful
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Maybe for someone else’s feet these would work. I tried them three separate times. The first run I knew I didn’t like them, but I wanted to give them a second chance. Second run I hit my 5k PR so I knew they were fast. I convinced myself to keep them at that point, but then they gave me shin splints/ Plantar fasciitis on my third try. I have been dealing with constant pain since.. had to go buy two new pairs of shoes to help recover.

Good Long Runs
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only used them for a couple of runs, including two 14 milers. It took a mile or two for my foot to settle in and get comfortable with my gait. I am a heel striker transitioning to a midfoot, once my foot figured out how to do that in this shoe, we were good to go. My legs were not so tired after my longer runs. I will mention that because the shoe is breathable, I had to wear a slightly heavier sock because it is very cold here, but I can see them being perfect in warmer weather.

Arthritic runner loves these shoes
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a new runner with a lot of arthritis, these shoes have helped me level up with joy and without discomfort. The combination of a plate and high stacking are just what I need. I also prefer the sock like upper quite a bit. With true flat feet, my midsole is different and the way these tie (and the “tongue” lies) is very comfortable and secure. Truly love these shoes!

Hooves lol

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve own about 10 pairs of brooks. This look cool but felt like hooves. It might be because. I have an over pronation on left foot though.

Tradeoff of Cushion for Speed
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Adds a great spring to your step to increase pacing. Not as cushioned as I'd like. My feet went numb in my first few runs breaking them in which was pretty uncomfortable. I also live in a colder area so the mesh on top exposes your feet and lets air move, which is nice on warm days and miserable on chilly days. I'm worried about the longevity due to the lack of cushion, but so far they're pretty good!

I wish I could justify buying another pair for work
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hands down (and toes down) my new favorite shoes. I’ve shaved almost two minutes off my average mile time (at baseline I’m a slow below average runner but still). I have mild plantaflexor spasticity and I think these plated shoes have helped to decrease my energy expenditure per step so I’m able to go further and faster. I had seen reviews that I might need to modify my socks to accommodate for the narrower fit while I stretched the shoes out, but I’ve worn my typical bombas/feetures/hanes crew socks without issue. Even my old ghosts had at least a two week break in period due to the increased shearing I experience on the ball of my left foot, but I’ve gone on several runs in my hyperions with no foot pain/blisters/numbness/tingling. If anything, I feel a very slight increase in medio lateral instability when going over thresholds/uneven surfaces potentially due to to plate and foam placement but it’s negligible. I like the padding placement and the stretchy heel loop for ease of application. Interested to see how the sole holds up over time especially on the L medial forefoot where my pressure is largely focused. Can’t wait to put some miles on them!

Happy fast feet over long runs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Long fast road runs- these are it! So impressed that I ran severally long hilly courses in these and not only were my times some of my best but my feet and body had nearly no wear or tear. Absolutely worth the money if you have long runs planned frequently through the year

Great pep and cushion
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight and peppy. Toe box is a little more narrow than last version. Please, I beg of you, give us more colors! I will buy multiple pairs of these to train for multiple marathons and these colors are not great. I want to love the look, but the colors are seriously lacking. People that run outside year round love colorful shoes that hide the dirt. Help me out Brooks....

Colorful and fun to run in
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So being truthful these to a second to get used to. The integrated tongue makes for a tighter feel around my ankle which felt awkward at first. But after running over 40 miles in them so far I'm in love. The design is cool and the chunkier sole leaves my calves and my feet feeling great after my long runs. It's like having super great support the whole run.

I got these in November to train for my upcoming half marathon. On the first run I wasn’t sure I really liked them, on the second run, I fell in love. For me, they are super comfortable, responsive and cushioned. I love the bounce in my step. I haven’t experienced any foot/ shin/ knee pain since I started wearing these. 10/10 recommend.

Cushion with every step

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe, no foot pain, stable. I feel they run a bit smaller than the 2’s, I’m an 8.5 and in these I feel I should have bought a 9. I love Brooks and will always be a fan!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After years of trying many training shoes with my uneven gait, I finally found a shoe that I have not gotten injured in. Super cushioned and stable for the foot! The shoe is great for long distance runs…bouncy, speedy, yet stable!
