I've been debating about buying the Brooks T7 Racer for awhile now.. has anyone ever worn these? I am a female that currently runs in Brooks Adrenaline size 10 narrow. The website says to order 1 size down, so technically I should order the 9, but since they aren't narrow I'm wondering if I should go for the 8.5 If you've worn these shoes, do you like them? Do they run small?
Thanks!
I run in them up to half distance, its a nice light comfortable shoe.They do have a little more heel then most racing flats and they don't make female sizes so it's 2 sizes down. I went a half size down from my trainers (launch) to get a tighter fit.
this is another example of a shoe company destroying a great shoe. The T5 was just right, the T6 not so much but the T7 is a disaster. It doesnt flex as well as the T5 and has a lot more room in the toe box. Therefore it doesnt give you a decent feel for the road. You will be swimming in that shoe.
I really like the T7. It is a slight change from the T5 & T6 but feels great. The lacing is on across the side, which feels a little weird at first but I've come to like better- less pressure on top of foot. It isn't overly narrow in the toe box, but I definitely wouldn't call it wide. I wear the same size as my trainers (Launch) and I've worn up from 5k up through the marathon without issue (I'm a guy though, so unfamiliar with female sizing).
