Brooks Anthem 8 Running Shoe - Women's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great pair of shoes for anyone who is into fitness and cares about comfort. They're lightweight, have good support, and are good for running or going to the gym. I attend fitness classes at my local gym and found these very comfortable and easy to move around in. The cushioning is perfect and the arch support is good. I also wore them on my morning runs and found that they are comfortable and my feet and back feel great afterwards. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great quality shoe for running or the gym. They also fit true to size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a mom to 4 kids raging from 8 years- 1 year as well as have been running for over 10 years and have tried my fair share of different sneakers. I was never able to find a pair that I could run both on the treadmill and outside with, as well as wear all day while taking care of my toddler and baby, until these. I have found that most running shoes I have owned hurt my knees and lower back the next day if I wore them for my day to day activities as well as running. I have been wearing these sneakers for 2 weeks now, usually for multiple hours a day, and I can see that I feel great. Since I live in the east coast, which had our fair share of snow and freezing winter days recently, I haven’t been outside most days and have been using this on my treadmill and trail running outside. I love them! The cushioning is great! The DNA loft v2 cushioning is effective in being lightweight, yet comfortable. These shoes are lighter than a lot of my running shoes and have less cushioning, but I still feel they are adequate or maybe even superior for my knees and back. Everyone has been telling me to try Brooks and I am so happy I finally did! Just a note on sizing. I vary from a 9-9.5 and I think that these run a little true to size/ small so I went with a 9.5 and they are great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first started my health journey, I thought being active would be easy. Like truly after living a sedentary life that I could just get up and go and be strong again. I learned that the hard way! Building muscle and callouses take time and energy that I didn’t have. It took years to lose it, and it took years to build it up. Now, years into it, I have a few rules. Don’t weigh your self at night, use resistance on walks, and get a good pair of shoes! I have come back from a hiking trip with holes through my shoes. I have come back from zoo trips vowing to NEVER do that again. Now, you can’t stop me, you better keep up! I need a shoe that fits my longer ankles, fits true to size, and I can step in all day without a swap. Let me tell you, I think I found one! We trucked through the zoo, then through the grocery store. I chased after the dog that runs when you call him, he happily walked ME 3 miles. my daily step goals are truly easier with the anthem 8. The shoe transitions perfectly from running into all day wear. The cushion is SO SOFT. Like I couldn’t understand how it has the support and is still so soft. The breathability is amazing for keeping my feet dry. I was happy to love this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! These anthem 8 shoes are amazing. I own a few different pairs of Brooks shoes and I think these might be my favorite ones. They fit perfect they’re not too snug at the toe bed and they’re the perfect width for my feet. The reason why I feel like these are my favorite shoes is because I’m a busy mom. I have two toddlers I Chase after all day long and we go outside for excursions and just running around doing errands. These shoes fit all my demands. They’re so comfortable. I could literally walk on these all day long. The color is beautiful so I feel like I always look stylish. The shoes have helped me get from point a to point B with no problems. These are the ultimate all day every day shoes and they’re great for running too. Like seriously I love how these feel on my feet. I’m a girl that suffers from plantar fasciitis all the time so having the proper cushion for my feet is vital and these anthem 8 Brooks shoes did it for me. They’re the total package. I cannot recommend them enough. They are definitely my favorite. Go to shoes now. You will not be disappointed in how comfortable these shoes are.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes have been good for me as I’m running around on my feet at work most of the day. Everything has been wet recently after a snowy winter and the extra grippy bottoms have kept me from slipping or feeling uncertain on runs or walks, whether outside or inside. I have a couple new pairs of tennis shoes I’ve been trying the past few months and these are my favorite. The DNA Loft v2 cushioning is really doing good things for foot and back pain I feel with other shoes or barefoot. I have enjoyed wearing these for an entire day and have no major complaints. I have been more into wider toe box shoes recently though and can tell that these are more narrow than other shoes but it’s not causing any issues for me. I also appreciated the dark navy color I got because most of my shoes are white or lighter color and I’m not lamenting spots or stains within one wear with the dark color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pair of shoes was nice! It has a wider bottom and good tilt to the inserts. They don't pinch at the toes and have a decently wide box. There isn't a ton of structured support inside,but they also had sturdy inserts in them too.
