* {{H:WhyBuy}}. The PureCadence might make a good shoe for someone looking to transition from a more traditional shoe, though the PureFlow is a better choice from the Brook's Pure range. The [[Saucony Kinvara]] is a better transitional shoe than either the PureCadence or PureFlow, as it's lighter and more softly cushioned. If you're not looking for a transition shoe, then the [[Hoka Clifton]] is lighter and much better cushioned, or the [[Altra One2| Altra One<sup>2</sup>]] lot lighter and more softly cushioned.
* {{H:cushioning}}. The PureCadence is reasonably cushioned, but the medial post makes the rear of the shoe far too firm out of the box. I was surprise how rapidly the midsole became softer; I don't expect foam to break down quite as quickly as that. Overall the PureCadence is a little on the firm side and I'd like to see more cushioning for this weight.
* {{H:drop}}. The PureCadence has 5mm of drop when unloaded, but this drops quite a bit when you're wearing the shoe.
