Brooks Wire v6 review

Who should buy the Brooks Wire v6

The Brooks Wire v6 is a great choice for track athletes looking for high-performance running spike for:

• mid-distance to long-distance races
• 1500 meters to 10000 meters competitions

Light yet aggressive traction 

There are four changeable pyramid spikes attached to the plate of the running shoe. These pins are ¼ inch in length and dig into the track surface for a light yet aggressive traction.

A Pebax Rnew plate is designated into the outsole of the track shoe. It allows for flexibility and an amplified grip. It also houses the removable pins of the distance shoe for multi-surface traction.

Wire v6 provides featherlight breathability

The sole refinement made to this sixth iteration of the Brooks Wire series is the implementation of a revamped woven upper. It is intended for featherlight breathability and security.

The rest of the shoe’s makeup replicates the same design from the previous model. It still sports the same distance plate—Pebax Rnew plate. It is responsible for supplying a good surface grip. 

Delivers a durable, responsive cushioning 

Brooks' famous BioMoGo midsole is present in the composition of this track running shoe. It delivers a durable, responsive cushioning.

Just like most track shoes, the Wire v6 is engineered using the standard width and follows men’s sizing scale. It is recommended for women to deduct 1.5 from their usual size preference. 

Adjustable and convenient fit 

There are two technical elements that are directly influencing the fit of the Brooks Wire v6. First, the woven upper is tasked to wrap around the contours and shape of the foot for lockdown.

On the other hand, the lacing system of the distance spike permits an adjustable and convenient fit.

Superior grip on the track surface

The Wire v6 features a polymer-based spike plate that has a dual-layer construction—Pebax Rnew plate. This fashion supplements better rigidity for intensified propulsion.

Although imposing stiff qualities, the distance plate still exhibits ample flexibility. This is essential for distance running platforms for comfort and unrestricted foot movements. The spike plate’s makeup also poses for superior grip on the track surface.

Shock-mitigating midsole

Made out of environmentally-friendly, biodegradable materials, the BioMoGo midsole is integrated into the Brooks Wire v6.

It has shock-mitigating attributes that protect the foot from trauma. Because of its engineering, it supplements resilient cushioning.

Brooks Wire v6 offers ultra-light durability and security

For ultra-light durability and security, a new woven upper is introduced into the Brooks Wire v6’s configuration. This upper material envelops around the foot snugly without compromising the runner’s speed. It keeps a minimal weight and profile, preventing drag.

To keep the foot locked down in place, a traditional lace-up fastening system is implemented. The same closure system is found in the Adidas Distancestar and the Nike Zoom Victory 3.
