Back to Results Brooks Dyad 3 Manufacturer: Brooks Price: $90 Reviewed in: Feb 2005 Shoe Guide Average Reader Rating: 5 stars (2 reviews) Shoe Type: Neutral-Cushioned See Specifications We Say: Rather uniquely, the Dyad 3 is built for the biomechanically efficient runner who is flat-footed. Traditionally this runner would take a motion-control shoe, but Brooks bucked this stereotype by making a stable neutral-cushioned shoe. Because the Dyad is constructed on Brooks's straight last (foot form), it's more stable, plus it features dual arch pads to help control excessive motion. Tests done at the RW Shoe Lab confirmed the Dyad's flexibility score to be more like that of a motion-control shoe than a neutral-cushioned shoe. Wear-Testers Say: "The shoe's combination of stability and cushioning make it very comfortable." -Lori Simon, 22, Allentown "The shoe had amazing stability. It just needed a bit more cushioning in the heel to be perfect." -Sarah Bergoff, 25, East Lansing Average Reader Rating: 5 stars (2 reviews) Write a Review 5 stars This is one awesome shoe!! As a flat-footed runner, I thought I was forever more deligated to wearing motion control shoes that had little to no cushioning. That is until I tried these shoes....WOW!! I now have very happy feet.. Report Abuse Submitted by: Erica, Bowling Green, KY 5 stars Wow! I have been wearing a stability shoe for the past two years thinking I was pronating excessively. Turns out I just have really flat feet and the Dyad 3 fits perfectly. As soon as I slipped them on I was sold! And I love the extra cushioning to boot. I have found what I neede...finally..
