The women’s Brooks Anthem 8 running shoe is designed to support active performance with a streamlined, athletic silhouette. Built for running and training, this shoe features a breathable textile upper with supportive synthetic overlays for a secure feel during movement. A cushioned midsole helps absorb impact with each stride, while the durable rubber outsole provides reliable traction. Finished in a black, ebony, and metallic colourway, the Brooks Anthem 8 delivers performance‑driven comfort in a versatile, everyday running shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the way the shoe fits I wore them daily for work for over a month. I realized they needed to be washed so i put them in my shoe bag and tossed them in the wash. When i got them back out there are pieces of the sole peeling off. The fit and comfort are amazing but the fact that they were washed properly and they are damaged is concerning considering the amount that i paid for them.

I’ve tried all different brands but Brooks only works on my feet. It’s super comfortable and very light. Highly recommended!!

Great purchase.
These shoes are very comfortable and supportive. I needed some new shoes for walking, and my feet feel supported during my walks.

You need these!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shoes! I have worn Brooks for years, but after I broke my heal, this shoe is the only one that I had no pain in even after hours in the OR!

It’s like walking on a cloud these are so comfortable. I’m glad that I bought them. I typically would get the ghost, but I really like these.

Not for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to return these shoes - they just never felt comfortable and they felt too small.

Love this new pair!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best new Brooks shoe I have had in a while. It was comfortable the first time I wore it at the gym vs previous ones that I could only wear in daily 1 hour increments before changing back into my older ones. They don’t have as much spring as my other new pair but they are not requiring the long break in period so I love them!!

Comfy but big
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable. The toe bed is wide but the shoe runs big, so size down.

Meh
Does not feel like it has much footbed support. Considering returning and getting Trace style which I have worn in the past.

A great walking shoe as well as running
Got these 2 weeks ago and they did not disappoint. I always buy Brooks, they have a great fit for someone who has a high arch and overpronates!
