I absolutely love these shoes! Nice weight--- great color. I really like that there isn't a tongue. Tempted to buy a 2nd pair for when I wear these out or they get dirty <3 I had to size down in these a 1/2 size.

I purchased these shoes for everyday running errands, and wearing to stores. LOVE THEM! I have narrow feet and they fit perfectly. I really like the design of the front tongue area being one entire piece instead of separate. Makes life easier. Would buy these again!

I am in LOVE with these brooks. I have been an avid brooks fan for the past 4 years, their shows never let me down, comfort-wise, but this year they really stepped it up on the style. I love how these look. I wear black all the time, so I am always on the search for a tennis shoe with black and comfort. These are perfect! I am a size 7.5 and these fit true to size. The back of the ankles rubs a little, but that's probably because I wear the no-show socks. If you are even thinking of buying these, do it! You won't regret it.

These shoes were super comfortable in my first workout with them (a cardio workout indoors). I love the tongue-less sock-like design. It creates such a great fit. And these colors are amazing. I love having pretty shoes! Can't wait for it to warm up a bit to run in these outside!

Love the look of these shoes. Very comfortable. Felt to fit a half-size large, so exchanging them for a smaller size. I have wide feet & the standard/medium width was not an issue. Looking forward to the exchange arriving.

These are very comfortable. I won't need as thick of a sock in them.

Ran 5 miles in them right out of the box (with my own insoles). Felt great and my pace was definitely faster compared to running in Ghost 12. I was a little uncertain about the upper when I first put them on but they felt comfortable with an evenly secure fit for the entire run. I always size up a 1/2 size with Brooks. These ran consistent with other Brooks sizing.

I enjoy the feel of the support on my feet. It makes for a feel-good run. The color is great! But....I long socks is a must!! I made the mistake of wearing low cut ankle socks during my first use of the Ricochet 2. By the end of my mile run, the bottom of my feet felt great, no lower back pain, but I seen how the back of the shoe (the inside lining wear the assisting pull tab is) had rubbed the top/back of my foot raw. I wore band-aids & long socks for my next morning run then eventually gave the shoes a rest til the top/back of my foot healed. Once healed & long socks worked for a much better running experience. Only reason I didn't give 5 Stars.

Fits well! not as much padding as other running shoes that I have worn before but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Didn't require a breaking in period, either!

Very comfortable and I like that they are stylish. I do wish they came in a wider size because they might fit my foot better. When choosing what shoe I wanted I had a hard time giving up style of shoe for a size wide shoe. Even though I probably should have gone with a wide shoe, so far, I haven't had any pain from running like I did with the Nike shoes I had before these. They have really great support.

Wishing that these came in wide width. Shoes are very attractive and comfortable, but are a bit snug on the sides of my feet.

I really like them, but I have wide feet and I think the shoe is rubbing my big toe when I run. The shoe is very comfortable and I love running in them except that one problem. I love the sock like fit at the ankle area.

Very comfortable but difficult to put on because they have elastic rather than a tongue.

I wasn't sure about the mesh fabric but after wearing them for a few runs, I'm enjoying them. They are light and comfortable. The only thing I don't like about them is the "elastic" around the ankle. It's tight at times depending on the thickness of socks you are wearing.

I love Brooks shoes. I am not a runner, but a waker. I need the support Brooks shoes give. I decided to deal with my over pronation and picked the Ricochet. The first day out my more effected foot was not happy. Second day out, I was working with it and man did they feel great. They are comfortable and very supportive. I really like these shoes. The glove like fit is true. The first time they may be hard to put on if you aren't use to this type glove fit. The shoe itself is not confining. I bought a 1/2 size up for my ingrown toenails. It was perfect. No tight toe box!!

Good running /exercise shoe, Definitely order a half size bigger (I read reviews but ordered the usual brooks size I’ve worn in the past a return later now I’m much happier)

Cute as can be! I really wanted to like these, but...there just didn't seem to be any cushioning in them. Maybe a little more snug in the toe bed too. Not horrid, but just enough to make me second guess it. At 60 I go for pure comfort now, not so much cute. I also didn't care for that sock like lining, a little hard to get on and off. Thanks Zappos for letting me try these at home! I don't understand why the shoe companies feel the need to change every shoe they make. I find a shoe I love and then they change it to be "better" doesn't work in my world.

This shoe is very comfortable. Great support and super cute. The back does go up a bit on the heel so I wear a taller sock to help my heal get used to it. Not a bad thing, just different for my heel.

I like these for running. They feel minimalist in terms of support, which I'm fine with. I'd agree with other reviewers that they are on the narrow side. My feet are narrow and these fit fine, but i can imagine they could be a bit difficult to get on if your foot was average/wide due to the sock like top. I have used PureFlow for my last few pair of running shoes but the latest version of those didn't fit like the others and I need a new running shoe. These are working well so far.

This has been a great lightweight summer shoe. I wanted a lighter pair just to throw on and walk the dog, or get a lap in between all the Pandemic zoom meetings. I dont think I would take it on a longer run (past 4 miles) my feet really prefer a little more stability for that. I love the color and metallic rose gold, really fun!! Kept my boring quick summer walks a little more exciting and also looked great when running errands!
