I so wanted to love and keep the two pairs I bought. Sadly I had to return them They both had a ripple in the material at the top of the toes (too much material?)......I have only worn Revels and Launch and still have a pair of each from years ago which I hope I will always have. Nothing has compared to Revel 2's...material, comfort and quality has decreased steadily over the years.. I just received a new pair of Ghost 14's and although they are cute, I still want Revel's and would much prefer to have a pair of those without the material wrinkling

This is my 2nd pair, and for some reason, these are not as comfortable as they kind of pitch my feet forward unlike my other pair.

These shoes feel too big compared to other Brooks models that I have.

I don't love the way they look. The mesh on top is loose, so the fitting looks a bit weird. I ordered a size larger based off the reviews. It fits correctly. With that said, they're very comfortable and easy on my feet. I can tell a huge difference between these and my old Adidas.

Nice looking shoe, but my heel hurt after wearing around the house for an hour. My feet are narrow/wide, and this shoe is narrower than I expected. Unfortunately, I will be returning.

Not enough support on the sides.
I wear these for 14 hr RN shifts. Wish they were a little sturdier on the sides.

These are comfortable but not for walking; they're more like shoes than athletic shoes. So, they're kind of hard and don't provide much arch support. They are very cute, though. But they must go back since I need shoes for walking.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis for which many people recommend Brooks. Unfortunately I found that the arch hits me in the wrong area of the foot. I love the style of the shoe and wish that it had worked out.

I stand all day at work and got achilles tendonitis the first week I wore these. I highly suggest switching out the insoles to something with a little more arch support. I put up with 2.5months of heel pain befire switching out the insoles. Could tell a differe ce after the first day.

It's certainly a very light weight and responsive shoe, which is what I was looking for. However, the sole is very flexible and the overall quality of the shoe just feels cheap. Looking for a replacement for the pure connect or the pure flow and clearly I need keep looking

Fit is more narrow than has historically been for this model. Not entirely pleased with my purchase.

Average footbed/insole at best as far as cushion. Low profile offers no lateral ankle support on its own but would accommodate orthotics easily. I kept them for the color scheme & will add them to my work shoe rotation. Would not buy again.

These aren't working for me for running. Each foot strike feels jarring and I can run only about 20 minutes before my back is hurting. They fit very nicely and are good for walking, unfortunately I was looking for running shoes not walking shoes. Maybe some different insoles will help.

Everyone seems to love brooks shoes. I've tried them over and over and they never fit right and/ or are uncomfortable. True to size, a little narrow for me.
This is the last pair of brooks I'll order, time for me to try other brands.

My go to brooks is usually the adrenaline but I wanted to try something different, cheaper and more 'streamlined' as the description says. After a long walk in these my left shoe felt too narrow, and didn't have enough support - even with my orthotics in place. It's not the shoe's fault as it's marketed as a 'neutral' shoe, but just wasn't comfortable enough for me to keep. Very cute and they were streamlined and didn't feel very bulky like some shoes can.

The color online looked like black shoes with purple bottoms - they are actually more grey and the shoelaces have sparkles in them that you cannot see in the picture online.
