For a zero drop shoe, these have great cushioning and the traction is also great. HOWEVER they have are very tight across the top, and I so far have not been able to run more than 5 miles in them without extreme foot pain. Very disappointing. They are built well, so I can't see them getting looser with time.Brooks Women's PureGrit 2 Lightweight Trail Running Shoes Review

I selected these shoes mostly for the outdoor trail. Using my Brooks Adrenaline as the season warms up, they are just too much shoe for me --and actually how built up they are made me roll my ankle a few times. These Pure Grit 2 are noticeably light and lower to the ground making it so ankle rolls went from about 2 per run to zero (running on uneven ground). I also could notice the wide forefoot with substantial grip--the tread pattern seems to be effective. In the beginning of my run I noticed some slipping in the heel but over the course of a few mile (mostly uphill) this wasn't bothering me and there was no break in period needed. I think the cushioning falls within my favorite spot--somewhere between minimal and average--making my foot strike natural yet not feeling every rock on the road. I tend to not enjoy runs over 5 miles so I cannot speak to distance runs. I have a wide flexible foot without actually needing wide shoes. Glad I got these. They remind me a bit of my brooks green silence (which are discontinued but I use at the gym)-
