The brooks t7 racer is coming out Feb 2011 according to runningwarehouse. Does anyone have any info on it? Is it going to be a big change? Would love to see a lighter t6 racer with less heel-toe drop.
Thanks!

Is there a link to what Runningwarehouse is saying? The new Brooks Mach 12 XC flats are awesome! Huge improvement over the old Mach 11's. Flexible, soft, and low to the ground. Even fine running on the roads.

If you have a wider foot, you will not like the mach 12. The toebox is narrower. In the Mach 12, my toes are very cramped, while the mach 11 fit good. Otherwise, yes, the mach 12's feel better, but they do not work for me. The 12's are getting returned.
From what I saw, the T7 will be a very different upper, but the body of the shoe (midsole and outsole) will be more or less the same. Now the new Racer ST, on the other hand, is undergoing a huuuuge update (for the better, I feel). They look AWESOME.

I disagree. This is one of the wider toeboxes I've found in any racing shoe. The toebox is impressively wide for an XC spike/flat. They do seem to run a tad small, so why don't you try to go up 1/2 a size?

In what way?
Check out these pictures! Both the ST Racer and T7 look fantastic. And I'm sure in true Brooks fashion the material and construction will be second to none.

Do the Brooks T series racers still have a high arch?
I had some blister issues under my arches with the T4's.
anyone try these yet? wondering if the fit is small like the T6
The brooks T7.
I'm usually an adidas guy thru thick and thin,but brooks is getting much better.there apparently around 6.4 oz,which I couldn't really notice till I ran my cooldown. There a small fit, I'm an asics/adidas 10.5 & nike/brooks 11. But the upper and forefoot sold me. And for 85 get em!
Who's idea was it to write BROOKS in ginormous letters across the toes? Good lord even Nike's not that arrogant.
I was a huge fan of the T6 and my first pair of T7s has just arrived. I haven't gotten to use them yet. The changes to the upper remind me of materials used in the earlier Nike Frees. I always need to size up about .5 in these. I'm hoping the T7 isn't much of a change.
