Runner's World Awards: Best Update

We say: An outstanding, lightweight, supportive shoe, the updated Axiom 2 uses softer rubber in the outsole, making it quieter on the roads. Brooks also placed grooves in the outsole of the heel to help disperse shock and added a new mesh to the upper that increases the shoe's support and breathability. There's also softer foam in the heel for a cushier, more comfortable ride. Recommended for runners with medium to lightweight builds and normal arch profiles or runners with higher arches looking for substantial cushioning.
Wear Tester Reviews
Wear-testers say: "Plenty of cushioning yet lightweight enough for speedwork." --Amy Marsh, 20, East Lansing "A good shoe with enough support for longer runs." --Michael Derstine, 44, Allentown
