Probably Brooks best shoe but whoever designs them should be fired. Rarely do they ever have anything worthy of the price anymore. Since wearing brooks my knees and back haven't hurt me like they did in nike. I own 6 pair now and love the comfort and support they provide. If they aren't comfortable you are wearing the wrong size. Trust me!

I have a hard time finding sneakers to fit me good.I have a wide foot these were the best for comfort and the width was great a lot of room in the toe box. True to size.I would buy again

Everything was perfect. I have one pair already so I knew they were good shoes for me. This pair is just what I wanted with fast delivery!

Love these shoes! I'm a true 71/2 W. And they fit perfectly. Very springy and cushioned. Nice look. I used to wear glycerins, but the changes in them yearly made me stop. Where were THESE when they made less perfect ones?? Anyway I switched over to hoka bondi. Got used to the 4mm drop. I'm 76 and my structure can't take the switch to even an 8 mm drop. Back they went. The glycerins are way more comfortable, but the drop causes pain in my legs, back, neck. ???

I walk 5 miles a day on concrete and these sneakers are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn! My orthotics fit perfectly inside and the fabric allows room for my arthritis in my big toe.

The cushioning and fit are excellent. I usually wear an 8 1/2 in Brooks, most recently the Brooks Ariel 20, but had to drop down to an 8 in this shoe. I have a bunion so I needed a roomy toe box, forefoot cushioning and arch support and this shoe delivers.

I have only run in these a couple days but so far so good! I run about 4 miles a day and rotate these with my Hoka Bondi 8s. Love them! Comfortable and nice fit for my narrow feet.

Comfortable right out of the box. No break-in period. My first pair of Brooks in years and I’m not disappointed!! More comfortable that my Hokas.

Love them. I have been wearing Ghosts for over 10 years, but wanted some more cushioning. I need a narrow shoe and not many manufacturers make them. Wore these several times and they feel awesome over gravel running and on roads.

I have been buying another brand for years and tried this based on reviews for support since I tend to supinate. These shoes are so supportive and yet cushiony. They felt so nice to jog in. I am impressed so far. I have a narrow back heel but a wider front toe box, and usually my toes get a little too snug when I run. No issues with these shoes. They are pretty perfect. I wear 8.5 in dress shoes and sandals and usually go up 1/2 size for running shoes. I went up to 9 (1/2 size up) and they fit perfectly. Great shoe; I will purchase more.

Always have to order a half size larger in Brooks. They fit and feel great.

They are extremely comfortable. However, I'm realizing I should've got a wide for a bigger toe box. I wish I would've. Aside from that, I love them.

They have the cushion of Hokas, but because the sole isn't as thick, a more stable footprint (they are a neutral shoe, so I don't mean the structure of the shoe). This helps a lot in my cross training. Trying to do balance exercises in Hokas was challenging for me.
The arch support is a little lower than I'd like, but I've come to expect that most shoes won't fit my arches.

I'm more of a walker than runner but the shoes fit well. I like the firm support feel when wearing them. I actually prefer them to the Ariel shoes that I have. The heal area is sturdier than on my Ariels.
My husband has a pair of men's Glycerin 20 that he likes too. He has a high arch and needs shoes that will support his feet.

They are nice, but just a little bit too narrow for me. I really wish I'd gotten the XW. Have had several compliments on the way they look!

At first, they felt way too stiff. It took over a full day of wearing them for me to decide that they’ll work for me

I swore I would never own another pair of Brooks after a previous tennis shoe I had of theirs years ago but someone recommended this shoe to me so I had to try it. First, a little background, I have worn Hoka's over the past several years. I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis and have trouble the most with my feet. When the Hoka's were not doing the job anymore I wasn't sure where to turn. When I got this shoe I did not have my hopes up that it would be the answer but so far it has proven me wrong. Unlike my Hoka, I can do my daily 2 mile walk and continue to wear these throughout the day. My only complaint is that the shoe laces don't want to stay tied so I have to double tie them. I am thinking about getting a different color in this shoe since I am having such good luck with them.

These shoes are very comfortable. My only issue is the shoe laces don't like to stay tied. All of the other shoes from this brand that I have bought had much better shoe laces than these.
