Brooks Anthem 8

Brooks Anthem 8 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size on average. Runners with wide feet may want to size up half a size.

Feel

Moderate cushioning with DNA LOFT, smooth heel-to-toe transitions. Balanced ride, not particularly responsive or excessively soft.

Durability

Some reports of early wear at the forefoot, attributed to the lack of a toe bumper. Overall construction is solid; expected mileage is typical for a medium-stack daily trainer.

Best for

Neutral trainer for road running at moderate paces (slower than 5:30 min/km). Suited for daily training volumes and middle distances; not recommended for trail or racing.

Weak points

Lack of external toe protection cited as a cause of premature wear on the forefoot mesh. Uninspiring ride for runners seeking responsiveness.
