Because Brooks Sports has clearly defined its niche, runners of all types have been drawn to the company. Whether running, jogging or walking, Brooks shoes have been a favorite among athletes ranging from amateurs to professionals.

Brooks shoes also come in a wide range of sizes so that runners can find something that works for them. And the technology employed to make Brooks shoes better has been an attractive selling point. If you're a runner, you want a competitive advantage, so you're likely to look around for shoes that provide that extra something that you can use to your advantage.

Brooks shoes have pioneered some of the technologies now seen in one form or another in other brands of shoes. By focusing on the running segment of the footwear industry, Brooks Sports has been able to stay ahead of the competition and innovate while doing so.
