Customer Reviews Brooks Synergy 2

Brooks's Synergy 2 - Comfortable shoes for walking.

Should have exchanged - When I received these shoes the right one seemed made wrong where the bottom eyelet and front of the shoe meet. It is permanently bent, distorted. I don't know if they had been returned or if it is just a mfg. defect. Because of problems I was having, I needed to wear the shoes in the house at the time. They are soft and cushiony, although not as supportive as some. The leather is so soft, the toe box is nice and wide, and it feels good on my feet. But maybe the soles are too flexible for my big toe arthritis and metatarsal problems on hard floors. I have not worn them down the stairs (Addiction Walkers the most supportive for ankles) or out the door. Anyway, I now wear them sometimes inside maybe once a week. I rotate my Zappos shoes. Thank goodness for Zappos or I'd be barefoot with these EE feet I've developed! I wear 7 1/2 or 8 size shoes now, but with the Brooks, I take an 8. I do wish I had exchanged the shoes or at least the right one, but since I'm just wearing them inside I'll live with it. I bought black Addiction Walkers for outside, which I have to add ball of foot gel pad to.

Clunky but comfortable - Shoes are similar to Brooks Dyad running shoes -- very comfortable, wide toe box, good support and cushioning. Except for running shoes, these are the only shoes I can wear, and the black color is more discrete than the white. I am looking forward to walking around China in them.

Thanks Brooks!!!! When I first got the shoes I took them out of the box and said WOW!!! These are a nice looking shoe and very soft too. When I put them on I loved them right off the bat!! I wear these shoes on a hard floor everyday for 6 hrs. and my feet feel great; thank you Brooks for making a great shoe.

The perfect shoe - I have really bad heel pain and this shoe came to me recommended by my doctor. My inserts fit very well into the shoe.

Great Shoes! These shoes are very comfortable for all day use and walking and standing for long hours on end. I have purchased about five of these shoes because they are the most comfortable shoes I have come across.

Comfort for my feet at last - I am a transportation supervisor and I am on my feet for 12 hours each day. Until these shoes, I was in agonizing pain but no more. These shoes fit great and they are extremely comfortable. I would recommend them for anyone who needs to stand for long periods of time.

I'll keep buying these as long as they make 'em - Prescribed by my physical therapist and works great with my orthothics.

Brooks Synergy 2 - My wife works on concrete floors and she loves these sneakers. Her feet and legs do not hurt anymore after working all night, the service from Zappos was excellent and I am waiting for them to notify me when the same size is available so that I can order her another pair.

Foot Pillows! Although there may be shoes with more initial cushioning than the Synergy 2, these shoes have cushioning that just doesn't flatten out over time. In addition to an awesome insole, these shoes also have a resilient section in the front of the shoe. I do wear an orthotic for a very high arched foot, and it was necessary for me to trim the foam arch on the insole for a perfect customized fit. The only improvement I would make in these shoes would be slightly longer shoelaces.

Great shoe right out of the box! This shoe is stable, supportive and isn't bad looking. It also accommodates my orthotic easily, although the built in arch supporting system is enough most days. Brooks is right on target for over pronators like me!

Best work shoe I've found yet - I'm on my feet 8-9 hours/day, in and out of my delivery truck and on the concrete floor of the warehouse. These are better than the Reebok walker and better than the less expensive Brooks model because they have a bigger toe box, better support, and a nicer sole. Liked the first pair so much I bought a second pair so I could rotate shoes every other day. Be aware, Brooks run narrow. Their width D is equivalent to a normal medium.

Fantastic Shoes - I love these shoes!!!!! Feels sooo good on your feet, even after 9 hours of work.

Comfortable - I was having trouble finding shoes that feel good on both my feet and these are very comfortable.

A good comfortable shoe that looks good! I have extremely high insteps and a wide foot, so I tried the size 9, double EE this time and felt it was plenty wide. My poor arches weren't used to having support so it took a day or two for them to adapt to a well supportive shoe. The only thing I had to do to accommodate my high instep was change the 54" shoestrings to 60". I really like the support with a younger, sportier look.

Brooks Synergy 2 - These shoes feel great. I am wearing them as a casual work shoe and no one even notices that I am wearing an athletic shoe. My feet are very happy now.

Brook's Synergy 2 - I am so glad I found someone who sold my favorite walking shoe. The Brooks Synergy 2 has great support, wonderful comfort and fits my foot.

Best work shoe I've ever worn - I am a driver for UPS, and I was looking for a shoe that had great support for jumping in and out of a package car all day. This shoe is light, but unbelievably sturdy and strong. It offers all the support I need, and my feet are not tired at the end of a long day. I love it. Best work shoe I've ever worn. The fit is perfect to size. I am very, very happy with everything about it!!

Great Walkers! I really love these shoes! The only thing is, I wish they'd have a little color to them! Other than the color, they are excellent in comfort…

Great shoes - Shoes felt great as soon as I put them on.

Excellent Shoe - I am a nursing assistant. This shoe is great for all day on your feet! Order a half size bigger, though!

Good Shoe!! This shoe was a good fit. However, I stand on my feet a lot while working, so good cushioning is a BIG must. This shoe would be very comfortable if I was going for a long walk, but not enough cushion to handle 8 hours of constant walking and standing.

I just keep buying these shoes because of the great arch support, this is my 4th pair.

Brooks Shoes - I need a shoe that keeps it balance well and I find the Brooks does this. Any other shoe I've had wears down on the outside of the heel because of my gait but the Brooks holds up and outlasts all I've tried. I find it's well worth the price, extremely well made and also looks good.

Worth the price - I hesitated to buy this shoe because of the price, but as to comfort, it is well worth it. If it lasts long and keeps its integrity then it will be a "best buy" in my opinion. I have had many injuries to my feet and ankles and I work long hours, often on my feet - and these shoes keep feeling good.
