GoKawiilWhat if I told you Brooks Running started out making ballet slippers and bathing shoes? Founded in 1914, the Seattle-based company spent decades making just about everything except running shoes, moving from baseball cleats to roller skates, football cleats and children’s shoes, and softball cleats. It wasn’t until 1972 that Brooks made running its focus, and the company has been refining the category ever since.
Brooks introduced one of the industry’s earliest uses of EVA foam, developed the first running shoe with a breathable GORE-TEX upper, and introduced the Kinetic Wedge, which was an innovative design catered to women’s anatomy.
So, while Brooks may not be the trendiest brand, it has built a reputation for dependable support, comfort, and durability. Here at WIRED, Brooks has plenty of fans, especially for trail running and gravel running. The company also offers apparel we regularly recommend, including sports bras, outerwear, and running bottoms.
Brooks Running shoes are relatively reasonably priced for performance running footwear, with many models hovering around $150. If you’re in the market for a new pair, I’ve rounded up the best Brooks Running promo codes and Brooks Running coupons worth checking out.
