5.0 out of 5 stars. Great on road, treadmillReviewed by funsizesnack from MN on Wednesday, July 9, 2014I run up to 8 miles on the road and 1/2 hour at a time in my crossfit-esque classes and they are so comfortable. I've worn them without socks from day one and never had a blister. They're extremely light, comfortable and offer a bit more cushion than the usual minimalist shoe. I feel so fleet of foot in these :) And I must say, the color choices can't be beat!
I bought these in 7, which is my usual shoe size (for some reason, I have to size up a half size in the PureConnect, which I also love). However, if you wear anything more than a thin sock or are training for a marathon I'd also size up a half size to accomodate for foot swelling.
Some more info that might be helpful ... I have high arches and am a mid/forefoot striker. I also wear custom orthotics in my run shoes (after a year's bout with debilitating plantars fascitis), but I never transferred them into my PureFlows and my feet have been just fine for months. Can't recommend these shoes more highly! -
3.0 out of 5 stars. Odd cushioningVerified Buyer Reviewed by Anonymous from Ohio on Wednesday, June 25, 2014I love Brooks shoes, but this pair had great cushioning in the right shoe, and what felt like none in the left shoe!? Also should not have sized up, normally wear a 9 in Brooks, based on other reviews I ordered a 9.5, it was too loose.

3.0 out of 5 stars. Shoe Is Not For Wide FeetVerified Buyer Reviewed by E-shopper from New Hampsire on Friday, May 30, 2014I reading the reviews, I ordered a 1/2 size up which fits perfectly. These shoes are lightweight and cushioned, but they fit too snugly at the ball of my feet. After running a few miles, the front half of my feet were numb. I usually order standard widths. Sadly, I have to return them.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Bought Another PairVerified Buyer Reviewed by Anonymous from California on Sunday, May 25, 2014I usually go for Solomon shoes...but nothing was on sale that I wanted for exercise and "jogging"...moreso than every day travel that those shoes are so good at that I don't want to wear them out before their time.
These shoes...wow. i love them. I wear a 9 and I took everyone's advise and ordered a 10. Perfect fit. They look "bigger" but they fit great and my socks fit with my foot without too much play or too little room. I ordered a second pair in a different Minimalist style that have yet to arrive.
I have had numerous comments on the color (purple) and the look of them..all positive and wanting to know about them.
If you need some shoes that feel great...are comfortable as heck to treadmill, walk, jog in..then these are for you. I am a pronator (roll to the outside a little) and these seem to adjust for that (supinate up from outside). I also am recovered Plantar Fasciatis and the arch on these without an orthotic is just right allowing me to wear them all day and not have sore feet. -

4.0 out of 5 stars. Nice shoe, but order up a sizeVerified Buyer Reviewed by AnnaLaurie from AZ on Tuesday, May 13, 2014This is a nice looking and light weight shoe. But even though I ordered the longest length for what I usually wear, these were still too short. You'll need for sure a half size up, and perhaps a whole size larger than usual.
