Overall:

I\'ve had two pairs of the previous model of this shoe, both of which were good, but not great. The last bit the dust when the velcro attachments on one wore out after less than a full year of wear. I liked them enough to give Brooks another try. The new model is significantly better. They fit better and are much more comfortable. I\'m hoping that the velcro problem has been corrected too. I really like these shoes.

The shoes came very fast and were exactly what I wanted. The price was definitely competitive. I had shopped around a good bit before I bought. I've used Zappos before and will definitely use them again. I have recommended them to family and friends.

This pair replaces a previous pair of Ariels. I love them even though they are pricey. They accommodate my orthotic and keep me supported day in and day out.

I love Brooks shoes. I am sure they are very comfortable, however I have not worn them yet. I have worn Brooks Arielle for many years and have liked them very much!

I had never ordered from Zappos, but I had difficulty finding the Brooks Beast shoe. Not only did Zappos have the shoe, but my size as well. I placed the order and the shoes came as promised. I will definitely buy more from Zappos.

Return buyer walks comfortably in her new Brooks Ariel Sneakers for pronating problem. The color grey, with subtle blue accents, is a great color combo; had the green ones before these, and can't seem to wear them out either! Love these sneakers!

The Brooks Addiction Walker was recommended by a orthopedic doctor for the condition I have with both feet. I did try another brand one time that did not support my feet like the Brooks brand does. I was able to return these in exchange for what really works, the Brooks Addiction Walker. I have had nothing but great results shopping with Zappos, from doing orders online to talking with the staff that work the phones. I have had to return products, getting the same wonderful service and results always to my satisfaction. The best ever shipping service you will ever find. You will walk away happy!

This shoe fits well with a wide toe box. It was comfortable, and I am pleased with it. It is true to size. Because of the wider toe box, I wear the shoe around town instead of doing serious running in it.

Overall:

These athletic shoes were suggested by local long distance mountain runner; said if you have experienced foot issues, these shoes would take care of the issues. He was right! I was able to recover from planter fasciitis and resume my normal 10 - 15 miles of walking per week. My feet never get "hot", I don't experience "sore heels" or "Tingly Toes". The support they give allows me to be confident in my stride; I feel great for an overweight over 50 physically active woman!

Overall:

Third pair of Brooks Addiction that I have owned in the last three years and I am real pleased. This pair appears to be a bit tighter than the last two I have had, but they are still not yet broken in even though they are size 10, 4E. Look forward to many miles on my shoes. I am not a runner, but walk about two miles each day. Only a few manufacturers have my size in extra wide.

Reviewer: Lee from Framingham, MA

Overall:

I really like these sneakers allot. I use them at the gym on the elliptical trainer and the treadmill. I also use them for walking. I have a hard time finding sneakers to fit comfortably. I need a sneaker to take care of flat feet, bunions, plantar fasiitis on one heel and a wide foot. I had first discovered these sneakers at a store in a regular width. I was told that they were not made in wide because the regular width was made wide. I came home and searched the Zappos site and there they were in wide. I would recommend these sneakers and Zappos without any hesitation. \r\n\r\n\r\n

Overall:

Very comfortable from the first day; no break in needed. I guessed at the size (same as I take in Asics, 1 full size bigger than my regular shoes) and they fit perfectly. I wish someone would explain why the size difference! A month or so later I have worn them every day for walking and other exercise, and they are great. Plus, they come in black!

I Like the Ghost II. I think the Ghost was more supportive that I had before I wish it came in the same colors with a grey back ground. I wear them everyday at work and would only choose Brooks for a full day on my feet. Compared to anything else I wore in the past the light weight and easy feel is the best.

I just spent 12 days in Paris, walking every day and most evenings seeing the fabulous sights. I wore the Brooks Addiction Walker every day and had no problems keeping up with my much younger sister. The shoes are the most comfortable walking shoe I have owned. I wish I would have had them when I went to Italy a couple of years ago! I have problems with my feet; bunions, orthotics, etc. I did not get any sore spots or blisters. I will purchase these shoes again. The shoe fit comfortably from the first day and ran true to size.

I have been purchasing this shoe for about three years at a local store, so I knew it worked for me. I saved substantially by purchasing it from Zappos. I wish they made some other colors.

Reviewer: Anonymous from Kentucky

Overall:

I really like this shoe. I have very hard to fit feet: my heel is narrow, my toes wide and my foot is curved. This means my foot slides forward making my toes hit the ends of my shoes and even if toe box is roomy, if the last (platform) of the shoe isn't curved, my big toes hit against the inside of the shoe. Thus I am always wearing big sloppy looking, ill fitting shoes to keep my toes from hitting the ends. The first thing that drew me to this shoe is the slightly turned-up toe. I have found through painful trial and error that shoes like this keep my toes from hitting the end even if my heel is slipping a little. The last is curved (the inside of the shoe says "universal platform") and the toe box has plenty of room. I would have to wear a wide width in the Brooks Addiction which is a great shoe, but this one fits my foot so much better. Great arch support, too. So, if you have a curved, Daisy Duck-looking foot (narrow heel, wide at the toe), these shoes are for you! Oh, and I am an avid walker, not a runner.

This was the first order I have made with Zappos and I have been really pleased with the entire process. I am deployed overseas at the moment and needed a new pair of running shoes to handle all the treadmill running I have been doing of late. My last pair of Brooks (Ghost) were very comfortable, but broke down rather quickly. I read the the reviews on the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9 and have been really surprised at the comfort and durability of these shoes. I run roughly 3-5 miles daily on old treadmills and these have held up really well for the 1st month so far. Thanks Zappos for the speed of getting my shoes to me; it has made a big difference!

Reviewer: Anonymous from Southern Oregon

Overall:

I started on a walking program wearing a good shoe, but the wrong one for my foot. After dealing with foot pain, I consulted the local foot/shoe professionals where I was fitted with the Brooks Ariel. Problem solved! The Ariel is a heavier shoe, and I would almost say it is a bit "clunky," but it eliminated my foot issues. I wear it every day for my walks. My shoe is 11 B, and it even doesn't look that big on my foot. Brooks Ariel is really a great shoe if you need the kind of support it offers. Expensive, but worth it.

Brooks Glycerin® 7

Reviewer: Nell F from Kansas City

Overall:

This shoe was easy to get used to and has been really comfortable. I tend to ignore brand-name for running shoes, and I purchased it after choosing the same shoe in a specialty running store, ordering a 10.5 (the largest they carry at that store) and a few weeks later deciding I'd selected the wrong size for runs of eight miles or more. I ordered the size 11 from Zappos, it came the following day, and it is now my "go-to shoe" for mid-distance and longer training runs. It's not the lightest shoe I've ever worn, but it certainly not the heaviest. In silver and brown sugar, it's one of the prettiest and is very highly reflective when running in the dark. The shoe has worked well on a variety of surfaces, but the meshy top will not protect against wet grass or puddles. The design lets the foot breathe a lot, so it is great if you sweat a lot. It was a snap to get accustomed to, and I ran my (yet!) fastest 1/2 marathon in this pair just days after it arrived on my doorstep.This is a totally neutral shoe, so choose it if you tend to under-pronate, or if you have high, strong arches and do not want a supportive shoe. Other shoes I've worn have been the Saucony Trigon Ride and the Mizuno Wave Rider. The Brooks Glycerin 7 compares well with these, and I'll probably select it again. I'll be pressing my local running store to carry up to size 11 for us larger gals!

I bought these shoes for my daughter. She loves them. They do run about 1/2 size small, so order up 1/2 size. D Width is good for a wide foot. Great motion control shoe, great for someone with foot trouble, plus the silver/blue color looks great! Zappos customer service is wonderful as usual!

This is a great shoe. I work as a nurse all day on my feet and this shoe has made a big difference. Wish it came in a little wider width, but fit is true to size. Good for those of us working on hard floors all day long. Cleans up nice, too. Love my straps; no shoe strings to come untied.

I have long, flat feet (size 11 medium) and I need orthotic inserts for support. These shoes are sturdy enough to keep my foot and ankle stable. Also, they accommodate my orthotic inserts comfortably. I use them when I need to go walking and have no pain in my feet or ankles. I selected these shoes with the assistance of Zappos customer service who listened to my comments about my feet and made recommendations. I really appreciate such great service.

Overall:

Great neutral trail shoe - I've got about 300 miles on my Cascadia 4s so far and am very happy with them. Good feel for the trail and they fit like a glove. Not a lot of cushion, but plenty for singletrack trails. My longest run has been a half-marathon so I can't say for sure how they do for longer runs, but I would guess they'll do just fine.
