One more thing about those fabric strips at issue in my first review. There's a long strip running along the inner top side and a strip forming the base of the laces. The strips involved are made out of a soft and flexible plastic, making them very pliable. So even tho it is uncomfortable to feel them bending and rubbing on my foot, they don't rise to a level of discomfort or pain. Their pliability offsets the contact with the foot and along with the design of the entire forefront, works to minimize any effects of contact and actually attempts to restore a better more accommodating shape to the forefront. So I don't feel the strips all the time. There's something MAGICAL about these shoes, the way the materials work together, you'd think the shoe was alive or something, always trying to adjust to the best shape possible.
Possibly the toe box should have more space and give at the base of the laces and on both sides of that base area. And the bunion window could be larger with more give if needed. This only concerns my right foot which has a slightly bigger bunion.
Still, I'm walking now, going places, doing things, planning trips, and feeling and looking real good.

Love Brooks shoes longtime Dyad purchaser. I have several injuries in my feet including bursitis so need Cushioning. These are the most supportive cushioned shoes ever. I wear them with orthotics.

Love Brooks shoes longtime Dyad purchaser. I have several injuries in my feet including bursitis so need Cushioning. These are the most supportive cushioned shoes ever. I wear them with orthotics.
But this Dyad 7 is so very ugly. I hate the aqua laces and the rest of the trim. The mens looks marginally better. I don't normally care about cosmetics except that this is so far to the extreme. Since these are the only shoes I can wear with my injuries I have to look at them a lot. THey need to be wearable with casual clothes without attracting too much (negative) attention. I wish I stocked up on Dyad 5 and 6 because those can't be found online in my size in either mens or womens so I fear I will be stuck wearing this ugly thing. It will be on my feet drawing attention to themselves. ugly and a downer

Comments about Dyad 7:
We run 1/2 marathons every month, and these shoes are great. At 8.5 2E, my toes have plenty o' room for my ridiculously wide toe box, yet the heels are nice and snug for my crazy narrow heels. I cannot usually find a shoe that is wide enough for my toes, yet narrow enough so my heels don't slip out. Usually I have to squish my toes to keep my heels in. Great surprise to find these shoes fit perfect!

Comments about Dyad 7:
I don't need to wear my orthotics with these shoes and my ankles and knees feel better than they have for a very long time. They have a wonderful cushion sole that helps my feet not ache at the end of a long day.

Comments about Dyad 7:
I've always had sensitive knees and constantly have problems with nearly every possible part of my leg. I tried Nike's, Asics, neither worked. I was matched up with this model of Brooks and I haven't had any problems since. Great support and super endurable (I run about 8-12 miles every run.

Comments about Dyad 7:
I bought this shoe after wearing the Brooks Addiction for a long time. I have had bones fused in both feet and wear orthotics to support what little arch remains after these operations, which were to fix my feet after both posterior tibial tendons tore. However, I found myself supinating slightly, and my trusted Fleet Feet running guru here in Tucson thought about this and realized that I what I really needed was a neutral shoe (which this one is), not the motion control type I had been wearing. I am thrilled with them. They have a straight last which is important for pronators, and the design controls my mild supination. I think the color is cool, but I can see how others might want something a bit more subdued. And, while I say I am a casual/recreational user, I am an aspiring gym rat.

Comments about Dyad 7:
I have nerve pain in my feet and wanted just a good cushioned shoe. They feel great. Only thing I find could be better, the toe box needs to be wider. Also the strips on the top of the shoe rub the toes.

Comments about Dyad 7:
I received these shoes as a gift from my boyfriend and I'm blown away by how comfortable they are! I have very flat feet that tend to supinate rather than pronate, and these shoes give me the cushioning and support that I need for walking and going to the gym.

Comments about Dyad 7:
Women's Dyad 7 are Keepers! They are truly made for a wide foot. I wear Size 11 Extra Wide. They have a real nice round toe box, a big toe box, and mesh bunion windows. I don't feel my bunions at all, not even the bigger sensitive bunion on my right foot and not even the callous on the outside of that foot. The cushioning is superb; I'm heavy and don't feel any hard impact at all. Plus, the arch and foot support are so good, my foot does not collapse. So I get the full benefit of the cush. It's cush with support! I don't feel my plantar fascitis either. I think it's gone.
I'm really, really surprised. I now have shoes I can walk around in after six (6) years of looking, ordering, and running to the post office to return. And the turquoise is beautiful, real classy and elegant. They are very lightweight and have a really nice undersole. The whole shoe, front to back, is built light, soft and flexible.
The heel is too big. I have a wide forefoot, but not a big heel. And I wish the mesh bunion windows were a tad bigger, with more give and more forgiving. My larger bunion pushes out thru the mesh window a bit more and causes the fabric strips around it to draw in tighter, bend in and rub on the foot, which is uncomfortable, but at the same time, the entire forefoot material is so ample, soft, and flexible that it works to offset some of that localized tightness so that I walk with no pain and no discomfort. However, that bunion window still needs tweaking.
