I don’t feel wearing them as much I use the Levitate 2
I'd also recommend:
I use to recommend Nike until I found Brooks

I've been wearing PureFlow's for the past 5+ years. I've had multiple knee surgeries and this shoe has given me the best support I've ever had. I recently purchased the PureFlow 7 and am very disappointed. The 7 seems to run more narrow than my previous PureFlows making it very uncomfortable and leaving my feet feeling "squished" almost immediately. Color 078 pattern also shows how dirty the shoes get very quickly. I've been wearing them for 3 weeks now and am seeing no improvement with comfort.

The design is different. Buyer beware!
I have worn Brooks Pure Flow through several different generations. I wear these for running and not fashion. When it is time to replace, I simply order another pair in the same size without concern for aesthetics. I ordered this particular pair in late June. My training volume or duration hasn't changed. I am now suffering from chronic foot pain - it goes away if I allow myself a rest day and comes back immediately when I run again. I need to go to my local running store for a professional fit as running is too important to me and I cannot run in pain. Boo to Brooks!

Let me start with that I really love how the shoe looks but I think they run a bit small. I wear a 9 in all my other shoes but these were a little short making the toes a little snug. I am on my feet all day and after a week my feet hurt so bad I went back to ASICS. They did not offer the support that I need having high arches and demanding days. That being said I think a 9 1/2 with arch inserts might have worked.

Left shoe seems to gather sock around heel - even seamless socks.

Ankle support is great, arch is not bad, not super cushiony but not too hard. To be fair, this shoe is way better than a lot of running shoes out there, but for Brooks I was totally disappointed. My main issue with these shoes is the structured toe area: there is no give, is a strange unnatural shape, and my toes always feel pinched. Over the years I have bought at least 5 pair of shoes from Brooks in size 7.5, all fitting perfectly... Now all of a sudden 7.5 is uncomfortably tight in the toes, just a tad too small.
I was told, by a Brooks representative, that this shoe was the closest to the now discontinued Omni... considering how wonderfully pliable and attractive the Omni was, as compared to this stiff, tight, unforgiving, and honestly pretty ugly shoe, I am a bit disappointed.

After 6 months of wearing a black version of Pure Flow 7 ,they are ripped.I love your brand and this model is the best but the fabric you are using lately is very poor quality
This is a new pair and hope will last more than the previous one

They are comfortable and supportive, but they started to rip apart on the top after a month of running. I do not run long distance (more than 5 miles) and not even everyday, but they were not as durable as I was hoping.

Really nice design but started to hurt my feet soon after I started running. I thought maybe I just needed to break them in but I also noticed that I pounded a lot more in these shoes than my old ones and not sure why. Switching back to the Adrenalines.
Currently training at 25 miles/week on sidewalk and dirt

It was at best, okay. The toe box was way too tight, both vertically and horizontally, and the edges of the soles were too wide (they would catch on each other as I ran). Lengthwise they were okay, but my feet felt suffocated.

I’m bummed. I have a pair of PureFlow 6 in size 7 that I was super happy with, can walk for miles and miles no problem. Got the PureFlow7 since I could use another pair, thinking I’d be just as happy. Nope. Got size 7 again, but too small. I measured both pairs and found the length the same, but the width was slightly narrowed on the new pair. So I ordered a 7.5. These fit better size wise, felt good walking around the house, thought things were good. So I went for an easy 30 minute walk. Starts out ok. Halfway through, my feet are feel bad and starting to ache. By the time I neared home they were killing me. Like walking on bricks. Something about the arch support here is not as good as with the PF6. I’m also less of a fan of the material and padding especially on the tongue (the PF6 has a thin foam tongue, PF7 has a bulky foam tongue). When I returned home I put on my PF6’s to compare and my feet felt instantly relieved and happy. So definitely a problem with the new shoes. I’m ready to send these back....
Shame because I love the PF6 so much and they have the breathability that I need. These are also cute. But not worth it if they hurt so much!

I really wanted to like these - I chose these through the "Find my Shoe" finder on the Brooks website. I've been running and walking in these for about 2 weeks and have developed horrible pain in my left knee. I have wider feet and a flat arch. I'm sad to have to be returning these but I'm planning on reordering the Adrenaline since those have worked well for me in the past. The shoe itself is very attractive and stylish.

Lightweight. Gaping holes on the sole collect rocks and stones. They tend to stay with you for a couple miles, if not the whole run.

These shoes ripped (On both feet!) after only a few months of wear. Definitely need to use more durable fabric.

This was my first pair of brooks, and honestly I was not impressed. Overall seemed like a good shoe, but I've never had such terrible shin splints :( .. they've ended up just sitting in my closet hardly ever used.

Toe box is smaller than in previous versions (and I still prefer Pure Cadence to Pure Flow, so thanks for discontinuing the better of the two). A weird crease is happening in the middle of the toe, pushing down to my foot. Every time my big toe presses down, the crease deepens. Weird that the shoe can't hold its shape, and it's uncomfortable.
