Brooks running shoes?

Question

Are you a long distance runner that tends to buy Brooks shoes? I've had mine for 3 years and they're still working great! ... is this the case for others?

Answer 1

I have never tried them. I use Asics which work pretty well too.

Answer 2

A good Brooks shoes can run for quite a long time,mine is also great,and I don't plan to change it soon.

Answer 3

I only run in Brooks shoes. Yours lasted for 3 years! wow. mine usually last for one cross country season before the soles are falling off. and one pair usually lasts for both winter and spring track.

I love Brooks!

Answer 4

you should really try and replace your shoes after a couple months, especially if you are running a high mileage. If not you can risk injury. 3 years is most def too long, you need new ones.

Answer 5

I run between 40-60Km per week and wear Brooks Adrenaline GT7.  I get a new pair every 4-6 months.  So its long lasting for  the amount of mileage i put in.  I love the fit (narrow heel/neutral shoe) and is great for road running.

3 years is an awful long time to be running in them.  You should check your shoes...

are the outside of the heels compressed? (wrinkles on them), does your soles have worn out pattern? They may still look good but the spring/support (midsole) is most likely gone.  You can do damage to your self by wearing expired running shoes.  Brooks have improved their shoes alot in 3 years.  http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,71...
