Like peanut butter and jelly or water and energy gels, the lightweight construction and lush cushioning of the PureFlow 2 are a perfect match. The key to blending the two is engineering comfort features in a lean way like a shaped BioMoGo DNA midsole that gives your feet a cushy feel without added materials. It's a match your feet will hunger for.


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 had been looking for a new pair of Brooks running shoes for awhile. I have gotten the Adrenaline and then the Ravenna in the past. I attend a Boot Camp 5 days a week, activities includes: running hills, training on pavement, wind sprints in the parking lot, climbing stadium steps, running a mile before and after, etc. A few women from my boot camp have gotten the Pure Flow 1's and love them so much they bought multiple pairs to change out so I thought I'd give these Pure Flow 2's a try.

I am so impressed by all the features this shoe has to offer. I love that the tongue is only split on one side so that it's not creating bulk on the top of my foot. The cushioning when I run is amazing, I feel like I'm running on marshmellows. The laces twist around the foot easing the pressure off the arch, and the arch support is perfect. I can honestly say that I'm so pleased with the Pure Flow 2's that I may have to pick up a pair of Pure Grit for trail running.

I started wearing the original PureFlow in August. I've been through 2 pairs and I loved them. I felt like they were made just for my feet. I've done 6 half marathons, 3 overnight relays, numerous 5ks, and one full marathon in these shoes. I bought the PureFlow 2 a week ago and after logging 28 miles in them, I'm not happy.

The assymetric lacing and the nav band that only goes from the middle to the outside has left the inside of my foot needing something. My arches have ached on all my runs (this NEVER happened in my previous Flows) and I am constantly "noticing" my shoes and my feet. I know the sign of a good shoe is that you don't even think about your feet while you're running. I'm constantly aware of these. In fact, my toes went numb on my left foot during my run yesterday. They feel awkward and foreign.... a little like wearing clown shoes. Taking turns in them is terrible. They feel stiff and my foot has to twist to turn a corner. I'm not happy and need to make a decision on what shoe to turn to next.

    Comments about PureFlow 2:

    I purchased this product because I recently completed my first half marathon and I have been increasing my weekely mileage over the past year. I also have changed from being a heel striker to not touching the ground at all with my heel when I run. This shoe has great cushion and support for my long, narrow feet. I have only had them for a few weeks, but they seem to be wearing well.

        I've been experiencing with different brands and types of shoes lately. I run A LOT! I wanted to switch to a lighter shoe and tried the Pure Flow 2. I love them! They are very comfortable on my feet and have just the right amount of cushion support that i like for long distances (which i run more of). Now, if they could just come out in more FUN colors. Only 3 colors are sold online but i have seen at least 4 or 5 more in a store.

        Comments about PureFlow 2:

        I really wanted to love these shoes because I loved the original pureflows. The pureflow2's rub my heels raw on both heels even with high socks. The heel counter feels stiffer and more sharp than the original pureflows. The shoe overall feels stiffer and less comfortable than the original version. I tried this shoe out for a month thinking I would "break in" the shoe and it would stop irritating my heels but it didn't. Unfortunately, I had to send them back. Hopefully the next version of the pureflows are more like the originals.

          I've only had these sneakers for less than a month. I work out 3-4x per week doing crossfit/bootcamp classes. So far I am very happy with them. Shin splints are gone. They seem to help control my pronation. Provide adequate cushioning. I give them 4 stars now since I can't comment on how long they hold up because of the short time I have had them.
          So far so good!

          Not happy with this years version of this shoe. It is still preferred over most other shoes but I was ridiculously fond the original Flows and this one falls short. Despite being more expensive it feels cheaper, has less cushion where I need it, and makes my toes fall asleep.

          Thankfully still have one of my three pairs of Flows from last year, and even though they are broken down are still better than this version. Going to shop around other brands for comparable options and hope next years shoe is an improvement.

                Loving this shoe. Walked & did interval walking jogging for a couple weeks then ran a 5K (jogged - 38 minutes) this morning and I feel great! Lightest running shoe I've ever worn. I was even able to wear it without my orthotics and I've never done that before. I'm ordering another pair right now!
