Brooks Pure Grit 3

€0.00

The Grit has seen its share of transformation in three short years. We lauded the previous version for its significant outsole overhaul, awarding it Best Update. Then Brooks went and blew the whole thing up, starting from scratch. Our wear-testers say Brooks hit it out of the park. "What's not to like?" asks Tim Becker, a 43-year-old tester who runs the trails in and around East Lansing, Michigan. "It has great traction, it's lightweight, and the fit is perfect. I could run for hours in these shoes." The outsole is the most noticeable update, again. Brooks really beefed up its bite, scalloping the sole and adding deep, hexagon-shaped nubs that claw into most surfaces. A new upper with a traditional tongue--rather than the wrap-over style--uses fewer, thinner overlays to improve the on-foot fit.
