Excellent

Comments about Brooks Racer ST 5 Running Shoe:

This unisex shoe is probably better for men. As a younger female runner I found that the shoe was very roomy in the forefoot and my foot was moving around a lot. I kept thinking I was going to injure myself when running fast, especially on inclines and trails.

I got 4 months out of these shoes, running 3-4 miles everyday. I bought a 2nd pair in time to run a local 5k, put them and ran my best time yet!

Comments about Brooks Racer ST 5 Running Shoe:

I have flat feet and I'm a heavy female runner. I've always gone with recommended shoes that control for foot rolling due to being flat-footed. Yet, I found that many of those previous shoes resulted in plantars fasciitis pain in my left foot. So I thought I'd give these a try. Oh my, they are perfect! While there's not a lot of cushioning, I don't find any foot pain even after running 7 or 8 miles. I'm about to buy a second pair.

Comments about Brooks Racer ST 5 Running Shoe:

I run on the inside track at the gym and the treadmill..I have had 4 foot surgeries in the past year. I always wore Brooks Adrenaline since my surgery, but wanted a light shoe. This has enough support yet light enough so you do not feel weighted down. I use a light orthotic and these work perfect! I also have a wide food, since these are a unisex shoe the width is just right. I will purchase these again! :)

Service and delivery comments:

I average 15-20 miles per week with a focus on 5k distance. I normally run in Asics 2170 and Brooks Adrenalines but wanted a lighter shoe. This shoe fits perfectly and has good support. So far no soreness in my feet or joints following runs. I've been running for about 17 years and after switching to these I'm running my best times. I haven't put too many miles on them yet so I can't comment on durability, but I'll be ordering another pair. I hope Brooks doesn't change these.

I was looking to replace the endangered launch and this shoe was perfect. It's the lightest shoe I've ever had. I run about 15 miles a week and will be a repeat customer.

Comments about Brooks Racer ST 5 Running Shoe:

With the Launch discontinued, I had to find a replacement for marathons and long runs over 15 miles. Tried the Pure-whatevers, but the low heel drop kept killing my achilles. I can use a little pronation control (I also run in Asics DS Trainers and Nike Zoom Elite) but it has to be light and fast. These feel like a firm Brooks Launch. I loved the Launch and I love these. It took about a month to get use to the firmer mid-sole, but it softens up slightly (not much) with use. These are softer than the Mizuno Elixir, but feel very similar. Personally I like the ribbon laces becuase they even out the pressure and have not untied on me. The only down side is that I have slipped in them a few times on wet surfaces. I am sticking with these (Brooks please don't discontinue these).
