Brooks Running Shoes Compared

23 Brooks models in the ATHLO+ Shoe Lab, grouped by category and compared on the figures Brooks publishes.

These 23 span 150 g to 312 g across 8 categories, 6 of them carrying a plate, and 11 distinct midsole compounds — DNA Flash v2, DNA Flash, DNA Tuned, DNA Loft v3 and others.
