      I use my brooks strictly for speed runs on my treadmill. Helps my form out better than the road kicks I use

      I may be atypical for someone of the female persuasion, I have the exact same cycle, except I don't do yard work. Instead of yard they become my dirty shoes, when I'm going to get dirty I wear them.
