The Radius 7 does more than just measure up. Now enhanced with the breakthrough performance and long-lasting cushioning of the MoGo midsole, it delivers an improved heel-to-toe ride, smooth stability, and maximum spring per step. A broad footprint and arch pod provide support for slight and late-stage over-pronators. By our calculations, increased mileage shouldn’t equal shin splints—and this shoe concurs.
The updated Radius is lighter than its predecessor--by more than an ounce--thanks to a new lightweight foam. Brooks also increased the size of the cutaway section under the heel for improved cushioning, which we confirmed in the Shoe Lab. The shoe's shape now curves up a bit more in the forefoot, giving it a smoother ride. We recommend the Radius for bigger runners with high arches or runners who wear orthotics and need a stable, well-cushioned platform.
If you're a neutral pronator with high arches looking for cushioning, you'll love this new, lighter Radius. Fluid-filled HydroFlow® units in the heel and forefoot soften impact and balance your gait. Weight 11.3 ounces
