Thanks for this review! I wore Dyads for years, then the fit changed and they fell flat. My last pair were ghosts but just bought these and they feel amazing. I strike hard and supinate and need the cushioning!
The pureflow comparison made me so happy. It’s so true!
I like the incite that you give in terms of it being able to fit an orthotic. I use arch support insoles, superfeet.
Would you recommend this for a heavier person getting into running for the first time with flat arches? Or is their an orthotic you recommend to pair this with! Great review!
I’m really excited to try this one. I loved the Pure line when I first started running and Brooks has had a few winners since then-mainly the Hyperion Tempo and now Hyperion Max, the latter which is one of my favorites. The rocker in that one works well for me. I had a chance to try the prototype Aurora BL and have been hoping ever since that a more traditional shoe would be created using that midsole and it sounds promising that this might be the case. I don’t like the super squishy sinking-in kind of midsoles so based on reviews, this new model is promising for my very long easy runs.
Great to hear it can take an orthotic, most shoes can't as they lift your foot out of the shoe. When will it be available in Europe??
People online like to dunk on Brooks, but they sell extremely well. "Normal" people usually prefer them to other brands daily trainers! I've personally never enjoyed a Brooks (except the Hyperion Tempo), but my customers love 'em!
Looking forward to getting this model in store
I love Brooks, ghost 14 is my all time favourite running shoe. I've had every shoe you can think of aswell.
I’ve tried other brands and get a plantar fasciitis flare up every single time. I always go back to Brooks because they’re the only brand that work for me.
Online runners are annoying. They think consistency equates to boring, which is dumb. Consistency is consistency!
Hey, Thanks for the review...is it good for people who overpronate?
Feel like this competes with the Nimbus in a lot of ways. Comparison of the two?
How do these compair to the Brooks Glycerin 20?
Is the Dyad being phased out?
What’s this color way? A few places say Dawn blue. Is that correct?
Ty for comparing it with the Echelon 9. How does the cushion differ? Is this more cushiony? And stability-wise are they pretty similar (stable neutral)?
Echelon 9 is far more stable due to sidewalls. Both are soft but ghost max feels just a little softer.

@@DoctorsofRunning thanks matt! How's Dyad compared to Echelon?
@@user-vk2ei5ze4ydyad is like a rock , never had a sole so hard
Interesting it’s only 6mm drop since they call it Ghost, but the normal Ghost has double that at 12mm.
Hi guys, love your content. I run in Hoka Clifton and moved to 1080 v13’s but they were too unstable for me. I need a neutral shoe but some mild stability elements like sidewalls (not hardcore medial posts etc). Would this show work for some stability need or should I stick with Cliftons or maybe Nimbus 25?
Definitely an option if Clifton works for you. Clifton 9 is solid. New Balance Fresh Foam More v4 also great.

Is it good for folks with hallux limitus?
Yes. I want max cushion and low drop shoes. I am just a little worried about the fit. I took half size down on the glycerin 20. The length is enough but it's still too wide for me.
The glycerin is brook is widest model. I would try the ghost and or the adrenaline depending on the support level you need.
What does that mean: "Forefoot doesn´t matter"? I´m a forefoot striker... is that shoe not suitable for that kind of running?
I’m really struggling with shin splints and flat feet m/overpronation finding a shoe which my shins can deal with .
Would I be better off with a normal shoe and orthotic insoles, vs a stability shoe?
Note I’ve had the hoka arahi 4 and the brooks adrenaline gts 22. Currently the brooks is a better option but still irritates my shins
Recommend checking out our full podcast on shin splints which goes into both rehab and shoes: ruclips.net/video/BUx9f7GnDr4/видео.htmlsi=b2CQhCDi3QJ1ITCE
@@DoctorsofRunning amazing dude thank you I’ll give it a good listen
I think it’s best to have a neutral shoe for a orthotic insert
Are this shoes good for walking as well? I am a dog walker. And i need really comfortable shoes because 6 to 5 hours everyday.
We’ve enjoyed these as walking shoes! All day in clinic for some and errands.
i'm overweight, use custom orthotics, and have wide/flat feet. looking for a shoe to do a lot of walking and some elliptical work, no real runnong or jogging. have tried on the echelon 9, those feel good. how would these compare? again if walking is my main form of exercise but i need something to give me nice support and be orthotic friendly, is this better than that? anything else? thank you!
Both the echelon and ghost max were designed for walking and running. Ghost max fit is a little more snug than the echelon. The front of the ghost max also feels a bit more rockered. Both shoes in the same category and comparable.
Thank you! Sounds like these 2 are the best options on the market for me
Probably a dumb question but is there any shoe that changes the drop without the insole? Maybe it would be nice, I like lower drop shoes, in this case if the insole had 2/3 mm drop, taking it out it would be a 4/3mm drop shoe, besides that I also would get more space for my wide foot without the insole. Well, maybe a crasy thought, sorry.
Not that we know of, but there is blumaka’s insole which adds 2-4mm (can’t remember off top of head). Only works with a shoe with a lot of volume like the Saucony Echelon. A few other insoles fo the same.
APMA Certified. The Foot Docs Smile upon users of this shoe.
Do they work for walking too?
Great walking shoe.
is it cannibalising the glycerine?
Nope! Totally different shoe
Glycerin 21 will have a higher stack height than Glycerin 20's but keep the nitrogen infused Loft V3 foam and no rocker geometry
The ghost max has the aforementioned rocker geometry and much higher stack of the softer loft v2, a lot softer shoe than the Glycerin 20
Really a totally different ride
Please review altras
We have reviews of the FWD, Torin, Paradigm and Escalante 3 (update) coming soon!
@@DoctorsofRunning great thx
Didn't show the insole or orthotic...
This or the 1080v13?

Brooks stopping making Pureflow in 2018. Why are you comparing it to a shoe that came out 5 years ago?
Because it kinda of reminded me of that shoe, I really enjoyed them and was sad when they were discontinued.

I loved the Brooks Pure Flow as well as the Pure Cadence. As people frequently say, Brooks gets bashed as beginners’ shoes or getting pushed by stores en masse, etc, but they’ve had some real winners and the Pure line was outstanding in its day. Some of us are old enough to remember them so I’m glad to hear this comparison!
I feel like this guy is saying a whole bunch of nothing
Yeah, he sounds like he's giving a sales pitch rather than talking about his experience running in the shoe. There's not enough criticism or calling out faults with the shoe which, since it's an EVA Brooks shoe, are considerable. These Shoetubers are just out here cashing checks to keep the free samples rolling in. Review sites like Solereview actually buy shoes to test and review removing the conflict of interest.
I personally love Brooks shoes. I'll be looking to get these.
