Really like the shoe for fit and style, but no arch support. The sole feels cushy, so will add my own arch support insole and see how they feel. Good shoe, good price.

I bought these when my Ravennas developed holes by the little toes after 2 1/2 years of heavy wear. I have worn them out and worn them for running and I have found them to be very comfortable. I do have a wide foot but what I found works is to buy 1/2 size up if wide isn't offered. So I have these in a 9 and after relacing them a few different t times, they fit great! My next pair will probably be Anthems again

I'm a nurse. I've heard a lot of praise for Brooks brand. While I am not a runner, I do my share of walking and standing in one place at any given time. I am having a hard time getting used to the insoles. The shoes are nice and I love the colors. I'm just adjusting to them.

Good, but a little hard on the heals. I like my last Brooks shoes better.

very comfortable work out shoes but would not be cushioned enough for me to run in.

Length of shoe a little long but the next half size was recommended. The vamp was fine and would have been too short with one half size smaller; however, the toe box is too big and the top of it sags (like it is not only too wide but also too lightweight of a fabric even with my orthotics. No problem with the look of the shoe. Will be returning.

I general run in ghost. I found these to be 1/2 size larger and wider in the toe box.

Love my new Anthem 2 Brooks, but I highly doubt I will wear them in a half marathon! probably in a 5k and 10k when I do any 10k/half marathon challenge! Will save the Ghost 12 for the half marathons!!!

Love these shoes! Got these shoes due to always being on my feet for my job and when I wear these, my feet don't ache by the end of the day. Offer good support.

I have wide feet and I’ve always loved Brooks. I do like these shoes but I definitely needed a wide versus medium which I don’t think it came in. When I first stepped into them they are definitely not as cushiony as I was expecting but they did give very good support.

These shoes were nice and I've heard a lot of good things about brooks so I gave them a try but they were not for me. I ended up giving them to a friend who loved them. I ran with them and they were ok but They're too structured and stiff. I prefer a softer lighter shoe.if you've never owned brooks I recommend you try them at a store first.

I loved the springiness and the overall feel, but unfortunately it was a little tight across the toe box area, so I felt a numbness in my feet after wearing for 2 hours. I could have tried another half size up but was afraid they'd be too long since I'd already ordered a whole size up. Was heartbroken to have to return.

Fit perfect. A little stiff on the sole compared to the Revel 3. Insole has a lip that comes up and does not lie flat. Hence I have a blister.

This is a super cute shoe, but I don't think it would be good for running/working out, which is why I purchased it. It is a lightweight shoe with minimal arch support. If I needed more cute sneakers, I would've kept it, but I really need some new shoes to run in.

Light and true to sizing. Does not have a lot of support for running. I would not recommend if you are using for running as the sides give to much and can easily cause ankle damage. It is a nice shoe for walks on roads and sideways. Would not use for hiking or wooden paths.

Brooks has good quality of shoes. Of course with anything you pay for whet you get. After purchasing I realized I would be a better fit for a Brooks cushion shoe vs. this neutral shoe. I have since brought another pair of Brooks but utilize these for outdoor activities or walking tasks.

First impression is pretty good. Good arch support. However, after wearing them for an extended period of time -45-60 minutes-while working or walking, they start to really hurt the inside of my heals. Definitely not an all day shoe... for my feet anyway.

I was so disappointed by these shoes. Having recently discovered Brooks Ghost shoes after a decade of wearing exclusively Nike, I figured I would try another style of Brooks. I really wanted these to work because I love the style of the black and magenta. Unfortunately, these have very little support and felt hard underneath my feet.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance, other models of Brooks

I bought these because the pair I was replacing was the Brooks Anthem, which I loved. I expected to take these out of the box and have them fit perfectly, since I ordered the same size. These felt bigger than the Anthems I was replacing, and the arch support in the left shoe felt off with my foot. The right one wasn't bad, but not great. I thought since these were the new version of the same style, they would be the same fit for my feet, but I was wrong. The style is nice and lightweight, and I like the colors.

Very comfy and cute but they're already falling apart. Would not buy again.
