Brooks is a premium brand well respected and respectful of riders, although less known to the general public.
Template 1.88m 90kg, 2 times a week (4 outputs alternating with another pair) 1 to 2 hours per trip, smooth ride, rather midfoot, light pronator. Still good shoes after 7 months of use on stony paths and earthy trails without big drops, for all times. Also on treadmills. No bitumen.
It should REALLY try the shoes before buying, but nevertheless:
- Footwear close enough to walk, more like Adidas as Nike
- Standard width, perhaps rather feet purposes, tolerant
- Universal Stride / pronation, foot arch support moderate, present and beneficial
- Cushioning firm and steady over the entire sole length
- Maintaining strong and flexible. Heel and instep well kept but released toes (oooh, that's good!)
- Comfortable even after two hours of racing. The older shoes, sometimes appearance of a vibration in the outer left foot toes, in the second half of the outputs sensation of pressing a sander. Nothing is eternal.
- Sole grip on road and trail, even muddy (muddy, marshy not) well serrated well drawn, but not trail shoes
- Good ventilation, do not store too odors. Not waterproof.
- Lacing very good and steady, fairly easy to squeeze, but the second yaw flange in the tongue, up, not used much
Very good running shoes and last, and I will replace the same by more recent - hoping that the manufacturer does not spoil the range stupidly, like that sometimes. So good that even on a model that we know, the first try ...
== Hint against Calvary purposes feet ==
When the foot end, even in the right size shoes, toes slide forward during the race and tap against the tip of the shoe. Painful and destructive.
To finish with this:
- Fully untie the shoe but the first row of eyelets
- Although the two strands focus on equal length
- Tighten a little and make a double knot between these two first eyelets.
- Refit the laces and try the shoes.
If it's too tight, you engourdirez your toes and you feel bad; if it's too loose, you will continue to hurt you. Provide a small fifteen minutes to find the right setting, during a workout. And you definitely have finished with your toe to that tape.
