I have super flat feet, and I overpronate. My feet are wide, and I'm overweight, and generally, it's so hard to find good shoes that are comfortable, supportive, and don't look like grandma shoes (no offense to all of you awesome and trendy grandmothers out there). I like the look of these shoes, but the fit and comfort are beyond. The soles are created to offer support even for wide feet, which makes them feel comfy after hours on your feet. In a store I tried on an 11 (usually I get 11 Medium or 10 Wide), which felt a little long, so I ordered a 10.5, and it is a perfect fit in both length and width. I'm a total convert and am madly in love with these shoes.

I have plantar fasciitis and high arches with lightly wide feet. These fit great and have excellent arch support and cushioning. I owned the ghost 4 and these are an improvement. I just wish they had a few more color choices.

These are the best gym shoes that I have ever owned. I am the "Princess and the Pea" of gym shoes. Poor Zappos and lucky me because I order several pairs at a time to try on and wear around the house while deciding what might work. I always settle for shoes. I am not a runner but I take boot camp style classes and use the treadmills, ellipticals, and other machines at the gym for cardio. I normally struggle to get through 30 solid minutes because my toes go numb, my feet are screaming, etc. I put inserts in every pair of gym shoes that I have ever owned. I literally took these out of the box and said "I am keeping these!" And headed straight to the gym! I am athletic in that I work out six days a week but am heavy on my feet. I always feel like I need support/cushioning and that my feet move around a lot in some shoes. These encase my feet in solid supportive happiness. They provide the best arch support and solid cushioning that I have ever had. Please, make these forever Brooks! I usually wear size 8 shoes and 9 in most gym shoes but these are a small 9 in my opinion and perfect if you are in between 8½ and 9 like me for athletic shoes.

I got these a couple of weeks ago and I love them. I call them my "magic sneakers" because running has been so great with them. I have bought Brooks before and always liked them but something always felt a little "off" with my running shoes (other brands too) until I realized I was buying the wrong kind. I took the "wet test" and realized I am a neutral/normal runner and not a supinator like I always thought. Once I realized that and found descriptions and reviews for neutral shoes with good cushioning I chose the Ghost -- consistently excellent reviews and high customer satisfaction. It has been the easiest transition back into running I have ever experienced. Go get yourself some!
