I decided on and ordered my shoes today, the Brooks PureGrit. Made with input from none other than the great Scott Jurek!
I evaluated a few different pairs, but PureGrit took the biscuit. There's a lot about them that I like. They're the new kids on the block - part of Brooks' new 'Pure' range which came out last month.
For one they're incredibly light at only 250g.
They're also one of the few 'minimalist' shoes that I can fit my orthotics in (I have seriously flat feet and overpronate - since I got the orthotics, I've had no more knee problems).
Finally, they look like something the hulk would wear! There's a full review from the guys at 'iRunFar' here.
Hello! I'm in exactly the same position. Severe over pronator wearing orthotics in my Brooks cascadias. How did the Pure Grit work out for you?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of giving them a try, but am hesitant because my feet are so finicky!
