Subject: Brooks Pure Flow - how many miles before replacing? I'm in my first pair of Brooks Pure Flows after years of Dyad's. I've always been a mid-foot striker and have gradually evolved to a fore-foot strike (by design) which is why I went to a minimal drop shoe such as the pure flow. Normally I easily got 400-450 miles before noticing the need to replace the Dyads, and before that the Nimbus's. I'm at 340 miles on the pure flows and it feels as though the fore-foot area is completely broken down...Like there's "hole" where the fore-foot meets the pavement.. This isn't an overnight thing either, I just hadn't really connected the dots on how the shoe began to feel...I'd say it was probably I should add that I'm 220 pounds so no gazelle here... Just wondering what others who wear the pure flows experience. I love the shoes or loved them until what appears to be the breaking down of the shoe.. 300 miles is decent but I assumed I'd get closer to 400 before replacement.. Thanks. |
