    Hate the new design! I've worn Brooks for 13 years and will try something new until they fix the design. I get blisters in places I never have and the tongue slides down to the side due to new design. The PureFlow 1 was awesome. Bring it back!!

      I love this shoe. It's a great in between if you want something more light weight without a complete barefoot feel. A good "more minimal" shoe. The color is much more pink/bright than in this image - in a good way. Highly recommend it. Used to wear the Nike Vomero, then switched to Newtons - this is the perfect in between.

        These were my 3rd pair of Pure Flow and probably my last. I ran a marathon last year in the the Electric Purple Pure Flow 1. I had no problems with foot pain. I got the Pure Flow 2 pair to train for my 2nd marathon. The fit and style has totally changed. The toe box is more narrow. After training for about a month with these I had to go back to my older shoes. These shoes caused my feet to hurt. Now I am trying to heal from the foot pain so I can run my upcoming marathon. These shoes are going back to the store. Unless Brooks changes back to the old styling, I will by buying a different brand of shoe.

          I wore these shoes on an 8 mile run right out of the box without any issues. The forefoot cushioning is great, but if you heel strike at all, these are not the shoes for you. They definitely promote proper running form. Love how light weight they are. I'm curious to see how many miles I get out of these. My previous shoe of choice was the Brooks Defyance 5, which I would get about 350 miles worth of use. They did feel a tiny bit narrow at first, but I didn't notice anything after a few runs. Pink/black color is very bright, but cute!

          I bought these shoes for my lovely wife who was complaining about pains and aches from running. I suggested new shoes and proactively bought her PureFlow 2. Today she just finished a 1/2 marathon and did a PR. She was so happy with these shoes lightweight feel, flexible, and cushion and here it is at the end of the day and aches and pains. I hope she doesn't find out about the nickname.

              Very disappointed. I loved the Pureflow I, but this new version is completely different. I hate the curved lacings. I have been a Brooks fan for years, but this is a terrible shoe.

                    I have been wearing Brooks for years. I really liked the first Pureflow. The Pureflow 2 is a huge disappointment. The shape of the lacings is weird and awkward. The shoe does not fit well at all. I like Brooks because of the wide toe box, but this shoe dropped that feature. PLEASE GO BACK to the original, or I will find a new brand of shoe.

                    I'm wearing these training for a marathon. I Love them! I had pureconnects until they wore out and I needed a cushier shoe. These fit the bill! They're not as glove-like as the earlier shoes, but it's not a big deal. They still hug my arch and have felt great on my 10+ mile runs. I'm going to order another pair for the marathon!

                      This was my second pair in the Pure Flow line. I enjoyed the pure flow 1. However, I had constant lower back pain with the pure flow 2. This is the first time I have sent a shoe back. Another big problem I had was when running outside, if the ground had any type of moisture on it, the toes of my socks were wet within the first 1/2 mile. By mile 2 my socks were completely soaked. I had neither of these problems with the pure flow 1. I have been running in Brooks for over 6 years now and this has been my least favorite shoe.

                      I have been running in the original Brooks Pure Flows off and one for the past several months and these are much cushier than the updated Flow 2. The original Flows also snug your feet better than the Flow 2s. I found that one of the heels on my new pair was slipping on one side, which was never an issue in the original ones. I just feel like the materials used to manufacture these are cheaper. The actual color on the outside almost looked sprayed on. They just didn't feel as supportive or as cushy as the first Pure Flows. I sent them back b/c they didn't fit as well either.

                        Full disclosure... I'm not a runner. I do just about everything else. Weights, kickboxing, instanity, etc.

                        This is a great, great shoe. I waited to review until I tested it with Turbo Kickboxing and Insanity. I'm a crazy picky shoe person and I had the PureFlow model before this and liked it.

                        I'm really liking this one. Two things- the color is as far from the picture as you can get. It's really more of an electric pink/orange? Hard to describe but I like it. And the tongue of the shoe is strange- they changed the design to wrap across more(?). Takes some getting used to putting on but not bad.

                        As far as handling impact this shoe is fantastic so far... and the side to side motions and crazy moves are SO nice as well.
