- Brooks Dyad 11 shoe review - Find out as a podiatrist why this is one of my favourite shoes to recommend. I bet you didn't expect me to say that!
Thanks to The Athletes Foot at Pacific Fair, Broadbeach, Gold Coast for lending us samples.
What an informative review! I have many foot problems and need a supportive, comfortable stability shoe. I tried every Brooks "stability" shoe recommended: Addiction, Addiction Walker, Adrenaline, Ariel. They were all too narrow and pointed in the toe box, and lacked the depth needed for my orthotic insert. The GHOST was a more roomy fit, but I found the footbed too soft. I went to New Balance 990v5 and 993 and again. narrow, pointed, cramped toe box. I'm not a runner, but I walk everyday. I've had plantar fasciitis, Insertional Achilles Tendonitis/Bursitis, Haglund's and Peroneal Tendonitis. I have fallen arches too and overpronate. From trying to wear some of the shoes I mentioned above, I developed new problems: numbness in my toes and feet and Morton's Neuroma. Shoes are made too narrow today and do not fit the natural shape of the human foot, which broadens in the toe area! Consequently, the nerves in our feet get compressed and the neuropathy develops, and worse, nerve damage. There are other brands that make round toed shoes, but NONE of them with a 10-12mm heel drop, which I need. I found out about the Dyad and gave it a try. I had to get an XX-Wide to have enough room for my insert and socks and the DYAD provides that. I just have one problem with them. On my right foot, the pods embedded in the sole hurt the bottom of my foot. As the day goes on it becomes more painful and hard to wear the shoes. I thought about trying the GHOST again, but this time putting a carbon fiber insert to give it more firmness and support. Do you think that would work? Excellent review of the DYAD, thank you!
Brooks is discontinuing DYAD. Replacing with a Ghost Max which is a Hoka (rocker) type of shoe. Not a very good replacement, particularly for walking. RIP DYAD
So sad to hear it’s being phased out- I went for a foot scan at Fleet Feet USA and this came up as best for me - preferable to Hoka. Very well wearing. I love them ! Perhaps will try get another pair.
