I just bought my 6th pair. I would love to find a sale and get a couple pair cheap for the upcoming year.

I had just the opposite experience. I loved the 5's and 6's so I naturally bought 7's when it was time for a new pair last September. I just hated them. I tried to work through it and break them in or whatever, but after 30 miles I was done. I sent Brooks an email basically saying that I thought that they had made a mistake with the 7's... literally just letting them know one customer's opinion. This was on a Thursday night. I was planning to wear my old 6's on Friday and go pick up a pair of something else on Saturday. Instead, Friday morning I got an email back from Brooks offering to exchange my 7's for 6's free of charge. I emailed them back my size and within 4 days the 6's arrived. That's why I'm so loyal to Brooks. I have to say, though, that my next pair will probably be Glycerins. I've always been just a very slight pronator and now that my long runs are getting longer and my short runs are getting faster I'm wanting to trade a bit of stability for some extra cushioning.

With regard to the Brooks GTS 7 - try Runner's Warehouse (or running warehouse? Google it). I have a code for 20% off through hubby's job if anyone is interested. Usually makes them pretty cheap and I think this is a fantastic shoe! - Linda

PS: Wanted to add just checked them out - $69.95 less 20% comes out to $55.98 and free shipping - what a bargain!

I bought my second pair a while ago..maybe August. I got them a little cheaper, and I was really happy I did not have to get the newer version.

But, I really hate this pair. I loved my first pair, but these feel like they have less cushioning and are not nearly as comfortable.

It's really strange. I really liked them a lot, but this second pair is just terrible.
