        Better than the first edition...which I loved! Tongue no longer slides to the side. Much better (for me) than Newtons. With speed laces they are also great for triathlons - easy /quick to get on. My favorite running shoe of all time.

          Comments about Mens Brooks PureCadence 2 Running Shoe:

          Overall, I think this is a great shoe. Very comfortable and I have had no pain other than normal soreness at all since I purchased them. This includes some long runs (5-7 miles for me) and even a fast mile. They do feel heavy, which I think is partly because I'm used to a slightly more minimalist shoe (less shoe overall and definitely lighter than these). My previous shoes have been around the 7 ounce mark or so, and this is 9.2 so it's a big jump. That said, I'm also heavier than I used to be, so I'm not sure how much that has played into it. My only complaints are the weight, and the fact that I like to tie them tight and when I do this, the position of the shoelace (where it ends) hurts my foot. I imagine this may not be an issue for some other runners, but they are definitely comfortable and any time I am pain free, that's great.

            I like the way the shoe fits my foot. Light weight and comfortable. Lacks a little cushioning but made up for it with a pair of cushioned insoles.

              I've ran in many Brooks models, as well as Newtons, Mizuno's and Montrails (trail shoes). The new PureCadence2 are butter!!! I'm 6'3" and roughly 200lb. Running 35-50 miles a week. These shoes peformed very well. I've probably got 40-50 miles on them already. Short speedwork, all the way to long runs.....very nice! The new design seems to alleviate some of the tightness which could be experienced with the previous version. If you liked the PureCadence.....I really think you'll like the "2" model a bit better! Will be stocking up on a couple pair as I start my Chicago Marathon and Ironman training.

                Spent the last year running in Newton's Gravity model. I loved them! they were amazing shoes however i noticed that when doing long runs and half marathons the lugs really blistered my feet. I thought id try something new for the new year and got the babies! Just did my first run in them. And they feel great! A lot more cushion then i was expecting! When i first saw them i thought they may be too minimalist. But no they are great! If your thinking about it STOP! Go ahead and buy them!

                Only thing was they ran a half size small but i always order a half size bigger so its no big deal!
