I ordered these in my normal size. They were too short and my toes hit the end. I already order a half size bigger to accommodate the width of my foot but also got the wide. I went into the store and exchanged them for the next half size up. Then on this new pair, the seam on the tongue, only on the right shoe, on the right outer portion is rubbing against the top of my foot and extremely uncomfortable. Im required to have a water resistant shoe that protects my feet from potential needle punctures. And I appreciated brooks for the comfort I need for a 12 hour shift. I was very excited for Brooks to finally make a leather shoe, but they just cant seem to get this construction right. This is my 6th pair of Brooks shoes and I dont understand why this one is so uncomfortable.

Very comfortable. Appreciate having a leather version as mesh doesn't work in cold/wet weather. Leather is a bit tight when brand new but it does stretch a little and in just a few days was as comfortable as my other Brooks shoes.

I really liked the fit of the shoe and thought is was very comfortable but unfortunately it did not have the arch support I needed.

My feet are so happy when wearing these shoes! I wear wide usually but with these I didn't need the extra width. They are very comfortable and feel light on my feet. I a work at an outpatient therapy clinic where I'm standing, bending, lifting - moving all day and my feet feel good at the end of the day. These shoes are leather, which is nice for durability but my feet do tend to feel stuffy at the end of the day. Comfort rules so they are def. a keeper!!

I really like these shoes. Very comfortable and for just right. Normally Im a 8 but I did size up yo a 8 1/2. You need to have room for your toes and going up a 1/2 size is the right choice. I got them in wide and they are true to size. I would recommend these for work.

I was so excited to try these shoes. At first glance I thought they would be a little too chunky for my style but once I put them on I was sold! They are super cute and comfy. I could walk in these shoes all day everyday and never feel sore! My lower back, knees, and feet feel so great when I wear these shoes! They have been easy to keep clean because they wipe clean with very little elbow grease. In my opinion, these run a tad small so I would size up a 1/2 size. I wear these shoes for my runs and just for daily shoes when I am going to be walking a lot with my kids. They are cute and I get lots of compliments!

I wanted to like this sneaker but it was a full size too small for me in length. I wear a size 10 in 99% of shoes and this size 10 was too small. My toes hit the front big time. So sad.

I do not use these shoes for running, i am thrilled i can walk in them with little pain or no uncomfortable pain for the day. I have arthritis in my feet and will continue to look for shoes i can walk in. These are great. Cushions are fabulous and i get a good straight walk with them. Thats why i buy these shoes. Sorry i am not a runner or even a walker, just an every day person looking for a comfy shoe for desperate feet.

It was too tight for me. I love Brooks Ghost Max so I decided to try this one. Just not for me. I wear my shoes for every day wear - no running or exercising. I don't have a wide foot but maybe they needed to be worn in to stretch a little. Again, I love Brooks shoes & would never say don't try them. You just have to find the one that's right for you.

I prefer these to the leather Addictions. Better support and no weird lump in the arch area. May run slightly narrow/low in the toe area, but not as bad as the Ghost Max SE I also tried. If you are in between sizes, you may need the next 1/2 size up. I already wear a 1/2 size up in Brooks vs my normal shoe size, but I think the next 1/2 size would be too big, so stuck with the size I normally get.

The fit and feel of this shoe is great. The sole is very cushioned and easy to run in on the treadmill but also work for long hours on my feet at the hospital. I thought the design of the shoe was great because I work as a nurse so these shoes were very easy to wipe off of I got something on them. This shoe was very comfortable to wear all day long. I wore mine for multiple days in a row for 12+ hours. What I loved most about the shoes was the ease of cleaning the leather and the comfort. The thing I would change is the completely white shoe. I do think they needs some color in them!

The womens white leather Ghost Max shoes are extremely comfortable. When I first put them on and iced them up, they did feel a little snug, but just after a few minutes, approximately 20-30 minutes, they felt good on my feet. I have not ran in these shoes, predominantly I have used them for walking on treadmill, walking when shopping all day and running errands. I just went on a 7-day cruise and these shoes were my go too. I walked approximately 6 miles a day, on the ship and even more on port days. The entire cruise my feet felt great and I felt like I could walk forever. These shoes are very comfortable, with a good thick sole and foot support. I was worried about being able to keep them clean, being all white, but no issues there either. One of those magic type sponges clean of any dark smudges etc. All in all these shoes look great and feel fantastic. I would definitely buy these again for work or everyday wear.

As someone who is used to being on their feet for over eight hours a day, these shoes have had an amazing impact on the way my feet feel at the end of the day. They are perfect for a work environment as well because they are very neutral and look professional. I love the leather details on them, which make them more high-quality than your typical canvas material shoe, and it just gives them a nice upgrade. I enjoy the way the sole is made, it keeps my feet comfortable, even after hours of wear. The shoes are also very lightweight despite being high impact, which combined makes for the perfect running shoe or every day work shoe. I love how these go with every outfit and they are just a nice upgrade compared to your typical plain white sneakers. If you are someone who is constantly on their feet or is looking to be able to run long distance without their feet hurting, these shoes are the perfect solution. I cannot recommend these enough, I now need them in every color. Additionally, because these shoes are all white they would be perfect for a hospital worker or other medical professional, as well as anyone else who is required to wear white shoes and is on their feet regularly.

Easily one of my new favorite walking/running shoes! Straight out of the box they were comfortable and I went on a 3 mile walk with zero pains. I love a workout shoe that requires no break in period. The white leather makes the shoe super versatile and I catch myself wearing them for activities outside of running too. I am well versed with Brooks shoes and sized up half a shoe size and I was glad I did. I highly recommend the Ghost Max for runners and walkers alike!

This Brooks Womens Ghost Max Leather shoe is very comfortable and surprisingly lightweight for its size. The shoe is quite chunky which is definitely in-style for women right now. Initially I thought this was a running shoe which Brooks is known for, but they consider it a great shoe for walking and everyday wear. I agree that it can be worn everyday and is certainly more of a walking shoe than for running, considering its chunky look. I appreciate the casual vibe of this shoe and it is true to size. The rounded toe makes pivoting easy. If I had to change anything, it would be that the tongue feels heavy and somewhat restrictive on the top of my feet during movement.

I ordered wide because of bunions but they will be too wide to wear, potentially going sideways in front. Otherwise , they would be great and hoping a regular width is still wide enough in this style for arthritic toes!

I have always liked Brooks shoes and needed a new white pair (mesh just doesn't hold up well - not the same).I wore them to work the day after receiving them and have not worn any other shoes since.

The shoes are very comfortable. I have not worn them outside because I may have to return them. I like the leather, but I find them to be too clunky for me.
