With lean construction and a responsive fit, the PureCadence 2 rethinks how support technology is engineered. Features like the internal PDRB help prevent overpronation without added parts and the wide Nav Band holds your foot like an endless hug. Add fresh looks and some street cred, and this featherweight friend will run footloose and fancy-free with you.


Just like our core line, we hold PureProject to the industry’s highest weartest and durability standards. Because of their lightweight construction and fewer materials, runners should generally expect shoes from the PureProject line to last approximately 250-300 miles.

I'm a long distance endurance/marathon runner, and was converted to Brooks years ago. I love this brand, and you can't go wrong with a pair of Brooks. I tried out the PureConnect series when it first came out, and was fairly pleased (except for that awful tongue that fell apart after ~50 miles). With these, the next generation, I am EXTREMELY pleased. They're comfortable, light, and the perfect shoe for any runner. Plus you guys fixed the tongue and made it burrito-style. If you are used to the PureFlow, these will feel heavier to you, but within 2-3 days you'll hardly notice the difference. Other than that, great job! Love these shoes! These are truly the perfect ride for every stride!!! Run happy, all!

I bought the shoes as cross trainers but had to return them. The problem for me was the shoe last forced my foot to the outside of shoe. For example my big toe and second toe pointed toward the brooks emblem on top of shoe. Keep up the good outside shoe designs and color though.

Great Lightweight Running Shoe

I am a 6 day/week runner that has been training for my next half marathon. My first pair of PureCadence2s replaced my Adrenalines. These shoes are perfect for someone who needs some support, but wants lightweight comfortable running shoes. My only knock is that they wear down quickly, but I will continue to buy these even if I have to purchase my running shoes more often.

    Was a bit stiff when I first put them on. My big toe was a little pinched. But after my first run, they quickly formed to my feet. They are very comfortable. More arch support than my Addrenalines. Very squishy sole. Fun to run on. Highly recommend this shoe.

    I am a marathon runner.

    Great shoe for the road

      A great shoe for the road. Took it on a little trail run and felt a bit "clunky," Difficulty finding footing in rocky areas, generally not feeling it on the trails. It gives me just enough padding on the road but still feels light and responsive.

        These shoes are really light weight yet do not sacrifice stability nor cushioning in the heal nor rear of the shoe. Great job to the team at Brooks for coming up with this shoe. I am in love with it.

          I've ran, sprinted, jogged, jumped, and engaged in HIIT training in all types and brands of shoes. Simply put, this shoe is incredible and far surpasses the competition for all training types.

          I noticed an immediate difference on my first run - light, responsive, great arch support that almost hugs your midsole. This shoe's design forces you into your more natural and graceful running form, while offering just enough support for at least a 5'10", 185 pound man, with high arches.

          Recently, I tested this shoe for a police physical and my sprinting time was far superior than I have ever accomplished in any prior physical. They felt great during the PT test and I felt great the next day as well.

          Try this shoe out and you won't be disappointed.

            I received these shoes as a bonus for signing up for a race series. I was quite excited because I am always looking for support shoes that also happen to be lightweight to support a mid-foot strike, and that's exactly what these are. I was surprised at how comfortable they were from the first time I wore them, whereas normally I feel like shoes need to be "broken in" first in order to feel good. At first I slowly transitioned to these by putting 30 miles on them on an indoor track and on a treadmill while wearing my traditional heavier support shoes for outdoor long runs. After that, I started running in the PureCadences outdoors on concrete and asphalt and found them to be just as nice as they had been on softer surfaces. I don't know if you can say that shoe will make you faster, but I've certainly found that wearing these has allowed me to concentrate on good form and cadence (and therefore I run faster) and less time worrying about PF pain.
