This shoe injured my ankle and knee!
Since Brooks discontinued their Dyad tennishoe that I wore for over 20 years, I have been trying to find a comparable shoe to no avail. ALL of Brooks tennishoes have way too much cushioning - to the point of injuring your feet and knees - and the new slip on style they're incorporating into the heel, also injures your ankle too. I couldn't hardly walk for quite a while because the Brooks Launch injured my ankles and knees. Brooks needs to bring back the Dyad they used to sell, and not change a thing about the way it was.

New Brooks Style
Been a loyal fan of Brooks and these newer style ones are very comfortable for my daily walks.
