Customer Reviews Brooks Catamount

Great for my daily dog-walks. Haven’t taken them off road yet but I have no doubt they’ll be perfect! I will say they’re a little less comfy than my previous Brooks (Levitate 2) but they ARE comfortable! INCREDIBLE traction!

Only returning because they were a bit too narrow around the instep for me. My feet are on the wide side of medium and don’t usually have issues with medium width shoes but these weren’t going to work for me. However, they were very comfortable, stylish and supportive otherwise. If your foot is on the narrow end of medium, these would work perfectly.

My only quibble with these shoes isn't really a problem for them, but more on how my foot has changed over the years: they're a tad wider, and while the width of these shoes is pretty perfect. the ability to widen the lacing is limited. I love them, just wish they came in a wide sizing.

My new favorite shoes for just about everything. I love them for general exercise and nature hikes. Pretty good grip on the rocks, although for true hiking the lugs on these are pretty shallow. They have a very clever elastic band that supports the foot without making it feel confined, and keeps my feet in neutral pronation. Orthotics are a little tricky, as this is a fairly streamlined shoe, but thinner ones work. I had to buy an extra pair to be ready if and when my first pair wears out. I only wish they had more colors.

These are pretty close to the perfect trail and jogging shoes for me. They were comfortable after the first day. This sounds silly, but I especially like the shoe laces: they're spongy hollow tubes, and they're very forgiving of my feet as they swell throughout the day. These shoes are also pretty comfortable on my rather high instep, which is a problem with a lot of shoes. Haven't tried them for hiking yet, and they don't have a rock plate so they won't be quite as stable as my usual hikers, but I'm hopeful they'll be pretty good. I ordered a 10.5, and they are a tad big on my foot. But I have found most 10s don't leave me much room beyond my big toe. I'm probably a mythical 10.25... Terrific. Might have to try a 10 just to see. I do wish they had some other colors, but the shoes themselves are just great.
