Anyone run in Brooks PureFlows?

[mrsjthompson]

 I can get a pair for $50, so I'm thinking about giving them a try.  I like my Newtons, but they're the only shoe I've ever run in and I'd kinda like to explore other (cheaper) options.  If you run in them, do you love them? 

Also, any insight into sizing?  Do they seem to run big or small?  D*CK's only had a 6.5, which seemed to be ok but I didn't have my running socks with me.  My shoe size is 6-6.5, and I'm in a 7 in my Newtons.  Thanks for y'all's thoughts!

It's too bad you have a small foot. The Academy website has a size 8 in men's for 44.88. I run in pureconnects and I love them. They are very light. I've never tried the flows. Mine run about 1 size too small. I buy a men's 8, which is like a 10. I'm usually an 81/2-9 in shoes.

I have pure flows. I really like them. I haven't run in any decent shoes before these. They are lightweight and breathe nicely. They run true-to-size for me.

I tried them when they first came out a couple of years ago and they've since become my primary shoe...I don't even want to admit how many pairs I've gone though. (That's the only thing I don't like about them...they start feeling "dead" around 300-350 miles.) Overall I love them though, and $50 is a great price! They're true to size for me.

I adore them. I just finished a marathon training cycle in them and while it might be a coincidence, I was running faster and more injury free than I ever have before. They run true to size for me.

ETA: When I say tts, I mean true to running shoe size. I'm a 6.5 in regular shoes, and a 7.5 in regular running shoes (I wore Asics before.) My Pureflows are a 7.5 as well.

I have them and rotate them in, they are great shoes and I think if you run in Newtons you'll be fine in them full-time. If you wear a 6 normally, definitely get a 7 they run smallish. $50 is a great price!

I have those and also pure connects. Love them. My normal street shoe size is 7.5, my brooks pures are 8.5.

I run in them as well and really like them - I'm actually thinking of adding newtons to my rotation (gravity); which do you use? Do you like them?

For those looking for a good price, runningwarehouse has all the sizes it seems (pure flow 1, not the new 2), on sale for $60 and you can get an extra 15% off with FB15D. Free 2 day ship at any price point (I swear I don't work for these guys lol! I just have good customer service with them). www.runningwarehouse.com/descpageWRS-BPFLOW1.html

I just bought an extra, despite picking up the pureflow2 (haven't tried it yet...)

You found my secret!    I ordered them so we'll see how it goes.  Thanks for all the feedback, ladies.
