Great speedy shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super light and the carbon sure gives a spring forward. Ran Coronado Bay 10k. Won my age group 75 to 79. Great colors and comfort. Very neutral in support. Really like to run in them.

Nice shoe, very light. Loved the shoe laces. But overall the shoes felt like it did not last more than 5 miles.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Felt very broken down after a few miles. Returned them immediately after I ran in them

Almost 5
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the responsiveness of these shoes! It’s hard to run slow in them. My only negative with them is there is some heel slip. Would be 5 stars without that.

Super light and speedy
Bought these a month ago to pick up some PB’s and they haven’t disappointed, knocked 1 min 22 seconds off my 5k PB. Super lightweight shoes, stable and look good. Been loving Brooks shoes since I started using them a year ago and on my 5th pair. Not going back anytime soon.

New Race Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently purchased these after holding off for months. I was initially hesitant after watching reviews, but I decided to try them out for myself finally. I am glad that I did. For my personal mechanics, these feel like the sweet spot. I have run a few workouts in them at threshold paces of ~6:50/mi pace and from loading response to toe off, everything fell into place for me. I’m super excited to use them in an upcoming race. My only overt critique is that there is heel slippage regardless of how they are tied. It’s not enough to make me knock a star off, but it is something to note during cornering or when on uneven sidewalks. I do have narrower, low volume feet and these fit them perfectly.
