Brooks are the most comfortable running shoes out there. You can open the box, put them on and head out for a work out or run right away. ...however; they aren't always the most in-line with my style meaning they tend to be very brightly colored and wild if that makes sense. I decided on this pair because of the muted beige color. They are beautiful! They are comfortable, though I actually prefer and think that the Brooks Launch 4 is a better shoe. ( though they are multi and bright colored). The bottom of this shoe ( pure flow 6) is softer and takes some getting used to, its almost bubbly. My foot felt like it was wobbly when walking in them but they are fine when running just takes some getting used to... though I still don't love the bubbly/soft feeling they have if that makes sense. This design also has the thin/wide tongue that running shoes of all brands seems to be doing now and they are always a pain to keep straight / even when you are putting your shoes on. I also have a pair of underarmour shoes for every day walking around that has the same thing and its super annoying. All n all this is a decent shoe and in my opinion the prettiest design brooks has. Ill keep it and continue to work out in it but honestly think the launch series is a more stable feeling and comfortable shoe especially of you are doing a variety of things walking, running, hiit, etc. Also, I always go up a half size for brooks. Im an 8 but order 8.5 in running shoes from Brooks.
