I love how the cushion supports my foot. There isn’t much of it however, but this shoe is perfect for sprints and other fast running.

Great shoes. I did order 1/2 size larger. I have wide feet and there is plenty of room for my toes. Immediately comfortable for all day walking. I would order again. One minor thing - my pair has a small seam / divot just below my big toe, on the interior top side of the insert. Seems like it might be a weakness in the structure of the insert. Not sure if this will impact longer term durability of the shoe or is intentional to help the shoe bend. Regardless, keeping the shoes! Enjoy.

Super comfortable shoe and decent ankle support. The toe box gives toes plenty of space to move and breathe.

Very, very comfortable. Light as a feather and makes walking and running a breeze. Highly breathable material so I am afraid they will make my feet cold in winter outdoor use.

I had the Brooks Pure Flow 4 andnloved them...these are even better, right out of the box. I needed another pair last year, but the 5 got such bad reviews, I decided wait. I love the seemless outer. I feel like the arch support could be slightly less than the 4, but that is my only minor complaint. Felt great out of the box...like my feet were home!

love these! They feel a little snug but i feel like if i had ordered a half size larger, once broken in, my foot move around too much. very cushiony around the ankle and provides good support.

I ran in asics for years and thought I would try a different shoe. These are light and provide enough support. I ordered a half size larger than what I am - that is standard for running shoes

These brooks were amazingly comfortable, but just a bit too narrow for my wide foot. I had posterior tendon ligament reconstruction surgery on my left foot so I tend to overpronate...and have just about totally flat feet, and these shoes helped keep me stable. So sad I had to return these :(

I have problem feet. I have been a long-time Brooks wearer. However, the Altra Torin has made my feet happier than any other shoe. Still, I miss the looks of the Brooks, so I thought these might give me enough toebox room. They did not. Also, I realize I really prefer the zero-drop of the Altras. So, back they go.

I wanted a flexible lightweight shoe that had light cushioning. These are perfect and they fit close to the foot. I don't like the giant logo on the toe and they also feel hotter than I am used to.

These are the most comfortable athletic shoes I have EVER worn! I usually have aching feet at the end of the day no matter what shoes I wear. My profession requires dress shoes, so in between meetings I wear tennis shoes. I can wear these Brooks PureFlow 6 all day long and not have aching feet at night. I have a rather high arch with a wider foot, and these are perfect support and do not squish my feet. I am not a runner, but I workout and walk a lot. I would say these are slightly more cushioned and supportive than a minimalist, but not all clunky like a gel heel for full support shoe. I am going to order another pair!

My daughter who runs Cross Country LOVES them, but did have to order a half size up.
She has worn them over a moth & they are holding up great!

I love these shoes, very comfortable. Upon reading a lot of the reviews I ordered both and ended up deciding on going a 1/2 size up (I am a 9.5 and I ordered a 10). At first the 9.5 felt tight, so I went with the 10. I kind of regret this as they stretched significantly and now have a little too much room and look a little bulky. They are still great shoes...just some food for thought.

These fit very oddly on my feet. I'd tried the 8, but my silly long toes hit the end. So I got the 8.5 . . . and my toes hit the end and everything else was too big :(

LOVE these shoes! As a runner that only wears Brooks I'm picky about performance. This was my first pair of Pure Flow, and although they don't have as much support as the other shoes I've owned (Ghost, Launch) they feel great. Better for a runner with a neutral foot, and the color and detail are adorable in person.

The Pure Flow 6’s are the fourth pair of Pure Flow’s that I’ve purchased. I initially started wearing the Pure Flow 4’s while training for my first marathon and absolutely loved them. When the Pure Flow 5’s were released, the toe box and tongue had changed and I was unable to run in them. With the release of the Pure Flow 6’s, I was hoping the problems from the Pure Flow 5’s had been fixed – and I have not been disappointed.
The roomy toe box is back in this model of Pure Flow’s. I am prone to blisters on my toes and these shoes have helped with minimizing this problem. I do not notice my toes rubbing against the sides of the shoes. In some models of running shoes it is recommended that you size up. However, I have found that the fit of the Pure Flow 6’s run true to size. I wear a 9.5 in every day shoes and also wear the same size in the Pure Flow 6’s.
I had experienced problems with the tongue in the previous model of Pure Flows. Thankfully this problem has been fixed. It is now comfortable and does not cause any pain.
The quality about the Pure Flow 6’s that I like the most is the support they provide. I have been struggling with injuries during the last year to both my hamstring and knee. The Pure Flow 6’s provide me with so much heel support. This has really aided in my recovery from both of these injuries.
I have worn these for training and running every distance from a 5k to marathon distance and they have performed well at both ends of the spectrum.

I love the pure flow 6! Much improved from it's predecessor. I went up half a size and the fit is great! If you didn't like the pure flow 4 or 5 I would say this shoe is definitely worth giving another shot.

I'm loving these shoes! I wear a 7.5 in regular shoes but usually take an 8 in running shoes and these are no exception. They have some arch support which is perfect for my foot. They are super lightweight and comfortable. I'm also a fan of the look of these-they aren't too clunky like some running shoes can be. I've had them about a week and a half and have worn them for running, walking, and cycling. I'm not sure about durability long term but I'm happy so far.

After trying several different pairs of sneakers for wearing to workout at the gym, these are the ones that won. They are comfortable, supportive, and fit well. But most important to me, they are breathable and keep my feet cool (I hate having hot feet!) The style is nice too!

LOVE the way these look, but sadly, they don't provide enough support for someone with Plantar Fasciitis. Very bummed, because they are a rare running shoe that is not 3 or 4 super ugly colors. I am returning them, with a heavy heart.
