- This item is awesome. I am happy with its appearance as well as its performance. I was offered a really great price that I could not refuse.
- This shoe is exactly what I had been looking for. Good forefoot cushioning in a lightweight trainer, maybe racer. No complex, fussy, heel or pronation support. I had several pairs of earlier Brooks Burn (and even more of its predecessor "Cheetah") and had always liked them. I think I read a review that said the Burn 3 was significantly narrower - which made me not buy it as I prefer a wide toe-box. However, after many attempts at chunky, clunky Asics and New Balance, I found the only shoes I enjoyed running in anymore were my Nike Free 5.0's and a pair of Adidas Adi-zeros. Basically, I guess I want a minimum under foot. It's correct that the Burn 3 does not have the massive toe box of the previous versions - but it's in no-way confining. I highly recommend them and will buy again. Moral to the story - stick with what works.
- Excellent product, light and confortable. It is very good for speed training. Sizes tend to be smaller than other running shoes I bought mine one size larger to get the perfect fit.
- Excellent lightweight trainer
- I've been running in the Brooks Burn for about 4 years now (through one major revision and a couple of minor ones.) I now have about 350 miles on my second pair of the "current model" (i.e. the Burn 3's.)
Runners nowadays (2007) have a great number of high quality shoes to choose from. So many that the choice can be overwhelming. The best way to start is to match the shoe type with your personal running gait. Some runners do best with a shoe that provides "stability" or "motion control" (these shoes work best for runners whose feet tend to roll inward during the part of the stride when the foot bears the most weight.) On the other hand, the Burn tends to be the best match for runners do need a "neutral" shoe. A running shop with knowledgeable people can really help you figure out which type matches your style best. First hand experience doesn't hurt either.
Next comes what type of workouts you want to run. The Burn tends toward the light weight end of the spectrum and as such seems best suited for mid distance training and tempo runs. I've also used it for for longer runs and quicker track workouts with good results. For its weight, the Burn provides good protection, and I use it mostly as a trainer (as opposed to a racer.)
The arrangement of the material in the shoe's sole gives a really smooth feel and a good pushoff, especially for runners who land more on the midfoot than on the heel. The upper leaves red marks on the top of my foot, but nothing serious. Overall this shoe continues in the Burn's tradition of a lightweight neutral training shoe and makes it look easy. I'm just going to keep on running in it.
- As mentioned in another review, it's about 1/2 to 1 size small so order a size up. It's a really nice shoe. Lightweight, decent cushion in the heel and forefoot and the breathable upper keeps my feet cool. This replaced a pair of Asics I wore out and i have to say I like these more. The break in period has been going very well and looks to be pretty short. Overall, a great shoe that's even better if you can find it on sale.
