Does anyone run in these? I went to Up and Running in Leeds and tried loads of other shoes on but on the gait analysis these correct my slight over-pronation perfectly and feel really good on (i've yet to test them out properly though). I've read some really bad reviews so some re-assurance would be welcomed!

I run in them & like them.

But I do wear orthotics with them so I can't comment of them in their 'natural state'.

They are a neutral, cushioning shoe though, not for overpronation.

Did they video you running in them or have you run up a street?

they videoed me on the treadmill in all the shoes I tried on, and the brooks were by far the best. I had a quick run on Friday night in them and they felt good, although I was still tired from Thursdays run (I couldnt wait to try them out!)so need to have a long run in them - hopefully tonight.

It's supposed to be better to try new shoes for shorter runs so your feet have a chance to adapt, I think.

thanks for the advice; think I'll amend my plans for this week and do more shorter runs until my spanking new trainers are smelly and filthy!

poor boy

Having endured heavy motion control shoes I now run in radius 6's with orthotics.I've only had them a few weeks but so far they seem great especially at high speed.

I use Brooks radius 6 's.
I've had them about 5 months now. Done 270 miles or so.
For me , they're very good. No blisters, supportive, good grip, comfortable. I think I'd prefer them to be a bit lighter. But all in all, yeah, they're ok.
In case it helps, I'm male, 5'10" and 11.5st.

I bought a pair on the recommendation of the runnning shop I go to. I was looking for a replacement for my NB854's. They convinced me that 857's would be to controlling for my moderate overpronation. They felt good on the short test around the precints of t shop but they kill my feet on longer runs and caused all sorts of other aches and pains. Anyone want a pair of size 7.5's with less than 30 miles on the clock?

I love my Brooks, trying on the Radius 6, after wearing 4 & 5 for the last 3 years, was like welcoming an old friend into your house for a spot of tea and cakes. Well not quite like that, but you get my train of thought. I have quite a wide forefoot and the Radius 6 seem to be made for my feet and the backs are not too big. I am a big guy, 6' 2 and 16 stone and i function well in these. God only knows why I bought a pair of Mizuno's and subjected my achilles to 10 miles of abuse. My lesson was/is a painful one to learn.

I got a pair of these and I've just started, really comfy for a new guy and I'm 17st

I have a pair of these. I'm 5' 9" and under 10st, but they seem to have lost most of their cushioning after only 140 miles, and as a result I'm starting to get back and knee problems that I've never had before.

Does anybody know if there are any issues with the Radius 6 cushioning? Is the Radius 7 with "MoGo" any more durable?

I've had 3 or 4 pairs of these. I used to wear Asics Kumo's but they stopped making them.

I get good mileage out of my Radius' and I'm 12 stone at 5 feet 10.

I race and train in them.
