So, I'm looking for a 10k/half marathon shoe. My favourite one is Brooks T7. It's going out of production, so I'm looking for a replacement that has a similar feel to the T7. Have been running in Zante as well, but I like the feel of the T7 better, and the Zante v2 is bulkier than the first version and fits me better as a marathon shoe.
Any suggestions? Mostly fond of NB, Brooks and Saucony
Why not just try the new Hyperions?
I too am in this predicament. I may email Brooks' CEO. If I do, I'll write here what he says.
Bump for great justice.
I just finished my second marathon cycle using my T7s and they're ready to be put out to pasture. I may be looking for another shoe to race in this fall. Should I stick with the T7? Wicked good shoe.

Yeah. Might do that. It's just that the T7 is one of the greatest shoes I've run in and I really want to find something similar.
why not just stock up on the old T7s? you can still find them
$130.00 is a deal breaker.
We need to start a campaign to bring back the T7s - similar to the Launch. I've tried the new hyperion and they do not feel it was bred from the same lineage as the T7s - that is to say, the hyperion feels like a different shoe. The sizing is odd in that a size 11 is about 2-3mm shorter than the old T7s in a size 12. However, the forefoot width of the sole/last of a size 11 is practically identical to a size 12 T7. The upper though, is too constricting, particularly forward from where the lacing starts. I am a size 12 in the T7s. The hyperions in a size 11 is too tight in the upper (width-wise) but a size 11.5 is too long but about appropriate in width (in thin socks). Think of recent changes that Brooks has done to the PureFlow, Launch, Neuro...all too long and too constricting/narrow uppers. Bring back the T7s...unchanged..or at least do another year's production run so I can buy 100 pairs and be set for a while...
