What I liked most about the Brooks Pure Flow, and what I like best about the Grit, is the BioMoGo/DNA foam midsole. Running Warehouse reports stack Nike Air Zoom Spiridon Femme height of the sole of the Grit as 21mm heel, 16mm forefoot (feels less than 5mm drop to me though). The sole has a nice springy feel to it – not too soft and not too firm. It runs really well on both trails and roads.One interesting thing about the sole of this shoe is that it feels slightly rockered – the heel is undercut and sculpted up (see photo above-left) making this a great shoe for midfoot-forefoot strikers. I’m a big fan of the heel geometry on the Pure Project shoes, and wish more shoes would adopt the undercut design. It’s worth noting that Brooks designed the sole with a split toe (see below) – this doesn’t feel Nike Air Skylon 2 Damskie particularly functional to me since the split doesn’t extend back far enough to allow much independent movement of the big toe.The outsole of the Brooks Grit Adidas NMD Mujer is full-length and substantial – rubber covers almost the entire bottom of the shoe, so durability can be expected to be good. The lugs are not terribly prominent, which makes this a nice hybrid shoe as you barely notice them when running on roads. My one and only major complaint about this shoe is that the outsole performs very poorly on wet, smooth surfaces. I wore the Grit on a 12 mile trail run with Nate, and he referred to them as the Brooks Pure Slip. I found this out the hard way on my first run in the shoes – I was crossing a stream and stepped on a wet rock. I immediately lost my footing and wedged my ankle between two rocks – suffered a gash to my ankle and tore the shoe upper in two spots. I’ve since realized that Nike Air Max 2017 Mujer slipping Nike Air Max 270 Femme is also a problem on wet wooden bridges – I was running along the Stowe (VT) BIke Path in the rain and every time I hit one of the footbridges it was like running onto a patch of ice. Traction does seem fine on dry surfaces though, and judging by the number of runners I saw wearing them at the Vermont 100 a few weeks back, those who put in a lot more trail miles than I seem to think they’re up to the task.If I had to choose my top pick in the lightweight trail category right now, the Brooks Grit would definitely be a contender (along with the Merrell Mix Master 2). Competition in the category continues to heat up though, with Nike Air Max 270 Femme shoes like the Saucony Kinvara TR and Inov-8 Trailroc 245 just hitting the market. But if you’re looking for a shoe that handles both trails and roads well, that has a responsive, springy sole, and that has a roomy fit (if you swap out the insole), the Brooks Pure Grit is a great choice.Please note Nike Air Max TN Donne that I do not accept payment from product manufacturers for reviews or posts.
