The sole is what really makes the PureFlow 4 shine for me (it www.dannywinstanley.co.uk appears that the sole is the same as that in v3). It provides the ride that I had hoped I’d get from the Brooks Launch 2 – soft and buttery smooth. The BioMogo-DNA blend midsole is a perfect match for my stride. It’s soft on impact, yet resilient enough to provide some spring-back. The closest shoes I can compare the ride to that I’ve run in over the Nike Air Max 90 Femme past few months would be the Skechers GoRun 4 and the New Balance Zante (two of my current favorite shoes). I’ve run 9+ miles in the PF4 in a Nike Air Max Tavas Womens single run with no issues, and would have no hesitation in using this as a marathon shoe. Another aspect of the sole that I like is the rounded-off heel. This both saves some weight, and also reduces the amount of sole that can get in the way of my stride. I wish more shoes would experiment with this type of sole design. Regarding durability,Adidas Superstar Damen Pink there are rubber outsole pods covering the entire length of the shoe. I do see some wear in my usual high-wear areas, but it does not seem to be progressing as quickly as what I experienced with the Brooks Launch 2 or Ghost 7. I expect that the PF4 would hold up well for several hundred miles.The Brooks PureFlow 4 is one of my top five shoes so far Adidas EQT Support ADV Damenthis year, and one that I would consistently grab for longer, slower miles on the road. It’s not a fast shoe, but it isn’t intended to be Adidas Superstar Womens that. Rather, I’d call this a lightweight training shoe or a half/full marathon racer. I’d put it up there with the Skechers GoRun 4, Saucony Kinvara (just got v6 – stay tuned!), and New Balance Fresh Foam Zante in that category – not bad considering how awful my experience with the previous version was. If you’re looking for a softish lightweight Adidas ZX 850 Womens trainer that can work for marathons, the Brooks PureFlow 4 is definitely worth a try. The Brooks PureFlow 4 is available for purchase at Running Warehouse, Amazon.com, and Zappos. Purchases through these links help to support this site – thanks!I, like Jeff, am a midtofore-foot striker and recently purchased my eighth pair of Pure Flow’s. I began running in 2012 and was committed to keeping off my heels due to operations on both knees and long time chronic back problems. After running Adidas ZX Flux Damen a couple of hundred miles in two to five mile workouts clad in Nike Free 3.0 V3’s, it was clear that more cushioning and in the correct location would be necessary. A lump beneath the ball of the of the foot was noticeable the first time that I put the Pure Flow’s on. However, after trying on other shoes, I felt that the Pure Flow’s with the lump Nike Air Presto Mujer in the correct place was the best choice for me. The surprising lack of weight in such a substantial shoe was a pleasant bonus. The shoe’s cushioning provides a solid 400 miles of comfort with little wear on the sole. It should be noted that these shoes are well suited for a mid-foot strike, but I can’t speak for other forms of running. It should be noted that these shoes are not designed for casual use or walking around in!
