We Say: This fine update stays true to the Brooks philosophy of gradual (not radical) innovation and improvement. The upper is made of a more supportive mesh with fewer overlays, which reduced friction points while improving the overall fit of the shoe. Brooks also increased the number of flex grooves in the forefoot, and outsole grooves under the heel have been repositioned to better disperse impact shock. Recommended for runners with normal to high arches who need a well-cushioned shoe, and for runners who wear orthotics.

This is a great shoe, but it tends to give me blisters every time I wear it! After the Boston marathon, I had so many blisters, I was embarrassed to wear sandals! This did not happen in my old Adidas shoes..
