At Brooks, our goal is to make each run better than the last. The gear we offer should improve your miles. So if you take our gear for a test run and don't love it, return it for free through our Run Happy Promise—a promise that you'll love your gear, and if you don't, we will take it back for up to 90 days after purchase. Run in it, sweat in it, inside, outside, in the rain—if it doesn't perform the way it should, send it back.

In general, the expected lifespan of performance running shoes is 300–500 miles, which can vary based on weather, surface, and temperature, among other factors. Running shoes are designed and manufactured for forward linear movement, so other uses (for example, sports that may require lots of lateral movement) may result in wear that is unexpected. Sports bras and apparel, especially those used in heavy rotation, are generally ready for replacement after 50 washes and 50 dries, which is usually about one year.

Our Run Happy Promise is limited to the original, end-user purchaser in the United States. We reserve the right to verify information, require valid proof of purchase, and to deny Run Happy Promise requests in our discretion in cases of suspected fraud or where we conclude that the purchaser has abused the Run Happy Promise. We may amend or terminate the Run Happy Promise at any time without notice.
