Experience the next best thing to naked feet with the hyper-light PureDrift. Spread those toes with two split grooves that allow your forefoot to flex through its three functional units. A hardly-there upper has a close fit and provides a little more coverage than a birthday suit. When you really want to feel free as a bird, remove the sockliner for a zero drop experience. Feet, meet feel.
Please note: The PureDrift was designed with a wider toe box than other Brooks shoes. If you prefer a more snug fit, size down half a size.
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.

Simply put, a great shoe for those that can wear a TRUE minimalist shoe! I've been running in the Green Silence for a couple of years now and went very minimalist to incorporate the Vibram Bikila and the ultra featherweight Saucony Hattori into my lineup. This shoe feels SIGNIFICANTLY better in every way from the upper to the scarce rubber covered foam sole. Overall construction is top notch--exactly what I would expect from Brooks Flagship Line.
Incorrect footstrike is punished with an awkward feel, but a proper midfoot/forefoot strike is rewarded with a quick and responsive toe-off. My Vibram Bikila may be a more form fitting shoe, but the PureDrift feels as connected and just as natural in an extremely attractive package.
I was sad to see the Green Silence be discontinued and I'll still use those for 15+ mile runs, but my PureDrift will be my new daily driver and interval shoe going forward. Looking forward to getting another pair soon to incorporate into my weekly routine. I've done up to an 11-miler in them and they were phenomenal the entire run.
I wear each shoe only one run per week. I average between 60-90 miles per week durng peak training season and I run 2-a-days 4 days per week and cross train 3 days per week all year long. My current lineup includes PureDrift, Saucony Hattori, Vibram Bikila, Green Silence x 5, PureConnect & PureGrit.

Good minimalist shoe, but has a bit too much control and cushioning. The motion control doesn't allow the foot to move naturally in the heel and the shoe is a bit squishy. Also, it is rather wide. My laces cinch together on this shoe which is not a problem on other running shoes.
Having said that, it is a lightweight comfortable shoe that is a good entry into minimalist running. I switched to Brooks from another brand because of fit and durability issues with the other brand. This shoe is good enough for me to stick with Brooks for a while.
Oh, and FYI, there is mesh on the underside, so any water you step in will go right into the shoe.

I prefer a lightweight shoe. I used to wear the Nike Niobe (hope I spelled that right) back in the day. I hadn't found a shoe as light as the Niobe until I found the PureDrift.
I use these shoes as my competition shoe. I train in other shoes during the week. I absolutley love these shoes and always look forward to put on the PureDrift.

I'm practicing Chi Running and Have been using low offset shoes for 2 years, this shoes seemed to be wide enough to help me with my feet. They fit like a glove and were incredibly flexible and light, I started using them gradually and was SO happy with them untill the day I extended training to 10 miles, then the elastic lace and a stitch in the middle made me a severe and large blister. The front is wide but the middle is tight. It really is sad, one should not wait for the feet to get used to the problems of the shoe.

Everytime i run over 4 miles with these shoes i get blisters on the insides of both feet, to the side and slightly behind of the ball of my foot. I looked in that area and underneath the the insert is a little square box of sewn material. I dont know if this causes the problem or not. My guess is that they are bunching up near the area when my foot strikes. Anybody know of anything that would help.

I use this shoe to work out in as well as go running. While every day use and walking around the gym was nothing to write home about (I don't know why a running shoe would be...), when I go running out on the road is when this shoe truly hits its wheelhouse. While the shoe works my leg muscles in a different way than previous shoes, I always find myself making excuses to run longer even though I may be getting tired. On trails I find it difficult to enjoy this shoe simply because of the mixed terrain around my area, but when on even ground this is without a doubt my favorite shoe I've had in a long time.

Running director/dr at major univ running/ortho med clinic recommended. I've worn them only 10 days but they have already become my favorite shoe--ever! I've removed the insole for zero offset. Already have ordered another pair to rotate.
BTW, the width comment is not a criticism. I've always worn 4Es to get the right fit in the toebox. W/ these (called Ds), the toebox is perfect and I don't have the customary slippage in the heel.
I just can't believe how comfortable these shoes are. They provide great feedback, esp as I am trying to reset by running form, gait, cadence, etc.

This shoe is ultra lightwieght and is very responsive in cross-training workouts. The 0-drop gives you the ultimate minimal experience.

As someone with extremely flat feet, I was unsure about buying shoes online based on reviews alone, but I am definitely impressed with these shoes. I had these shipped to Afghanistan where they got instant use, and other than the first-time wear pains and soreness, they have broken in rather quickly and definitely support my weight (just over 200lbs) and my weird feet. If you have flat and/or wide feet, I definitely recommend this shoe. Not disappointed.
