    I've beaten the crap out of this shoe and it, unlike other brands, refused to blow out at the usual places around the toe-box. I've since relegated them to my weight room shoes and for 12 more months they still refuse to break down.

    I have been wearing stability shoes for a long time now, and Brooks is one brand that I can keep going back to. I have never had any issues with my ankles rolling in these, or felt unsupported in anyway.

    was a really nice shoe but it wore down pretty quickly and started reinforcing my over pronation instead of preventing it

    Amazing shoe for both easy slow 5-10 milers, tempo and progression runs, and even speed work. Awesome daily trainer perfect for high school xc training and normal running
