Lightweight and comfortable

The shoe's light weight was immediately apparent when I tried it on. I didn't have to use laces as the shoes themselves were attached to my feet like gloves. After running a 3k in nothing but no-show socks, I had no chafing on my skin. The upper is soft, it made my running smooth and comfortable. I would recommend these shoes. I will order the second part.

Pros
  • Made in the USA or imported
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Once On Comfort

sneakers are a bit tight and small in my opinion. To make matters worse, the upper of the shoe has a sock-like opening - there is no tongue that allows the top of the foot to open wide for foot placement. As a result, you have to struggle to fit your foot into tight shoes through an even narrower and less flexible opening. I love Brooks, I have several pairs and they are wearable but definitely wouldn't buy them again.

Pros
  • ENERGY CUSHION: BioMoGo DNA cushioning and DNA AMP work together to provide a lightweight, responsive ride that gives you more energy back.
Cons
  • Volume

Best Brooks I've Bought

I've only run at Brooks lately - lots of injuries over the years and even more bad shoes - but they're excellent. They offer all of the great Brooks support we know and love, yet only weigh about 8 ounces. My biggest issue with padded runners is how heavy they can be - they definitely solve that problem. One note: I think they run about half a size too big - I usually wear an 8.5 in Brooks shoes but definitely an 8 in this style.

Pros
  • THIS WOMEN'S SHOE FOR: The Ricochet 2 is perfect for runners who love a soft yet springy ride that simultaneously cushions and returns energy.
Cons
  • A few minor things
