Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results

We say: The Burn 3 features a seamless bootie-style upper that decreases your risk of blistering. Brooks added a new injected midsole-outsole for enhanced cushioning and durability, and although there's less rubber in the outsole overall, there's more of it in the high-wear areas. The shoe is built on a new last (foot form) that's slimmer in the forefoot for a more snug fit. Recommended for biomechanically efficient runners with normal to high arches looking for a lightweight performance trainer.

4 stars 5 stars
Excellent cushioning. Nice feel of "bounce-back" setting up for next stride. I usually like my shoes a little wider, but this shoe feels form-fitted and comfortable. Lighter than my others, too which might contribute to the "feel.".
