Voilà
Recently, I was officially diagnosed with plantar fasciitis while also being diagnosed with Tarsal tunnel syndrome, oh and my great toe started hurting. Both feet. Ugh! some of the worse foot pain out there.Three things: 1) I went up a half size because EVERYTHING about both my feet were hurting.2)I have soooo many sneakers/ clogs/ shoes for work at between $100 to $180 apiece, it gives privileged, overindulgent to the uninformed: The reality is that I kept buying different shoes seeking to relieve the pain of feeling like Ive been standing on nails.3) I finally decided on “Try before you buy” tried and eventually bought these on the advice of my foot and ankle specialist. Best decision.For the first time in the last two or more years I’ve worn the same shoe to work for two weeks. (I work three to four 12hr shifts/week.)Here’s why, I like a soft padded foot bed, particularly at my heels. These are abundantly padded. HOWEVER; foot specialist, and Physical therapist informed me that plantar fasciitis needs a firm foot bed with adequate arch support for relief. Uhmmmm!!! But how’s this for plot twist: My podiatrist ordered me custom inserts, five weeks later they arrive, and they are FIRM! he fits them OVER the inserts of these sneakers and voilà! I now have my plush padded foot bed, good ankle support while the shoe is deep enough to accept a custom insert without unnatural pressure at the arch, toe box, top or ball of foot. In fact I do NOT feel the inserts at all. I think my decision to go up half size may have helped the insert fit. Shoes still are bigger but does not feel loose or unstable. These are breathable and stylish even for my sz 11 feet AND I went up a half size. Great shoe. I also think they’re hand washable.

The best general tennis shoes/walking shoes of my life
I was a bit hesitant to order these shoes because I’ve myself never heard of Brooks. I took them out of the box and thought “That is a really thick sole.” And then I put them on my feet and I was thrilled nearly 100%.Pros- The regular width shoe is perfect for someone who has a generally skinny foot but a slightly wider ball of foot area. This has been a challenge for my entire life and I’ve often had to either buy wide shoes that make my feet swim or have shoes that are too tight around my toes and ball of my foot.- The toe area is long enough over center to accommodate those of us with a long second toe, or Greek toe. This can be especially helpful if you suffer pain or potential hammer toe due to cramped shoes. My other toes feel supported and don’t feel like they’re swimming, but my long toe also has plenty of room and support.- The cushy support from the nitrogen injected spongey soles is something I never knew I needed.- The arch support feel fantastic for high arches. I didn’t even feel the need to switch out the insole.- The top of the shoe is stretchy and breathable.- I have felt comfortable and supported since I started wearing these about a week ago. I had major foot surgery in 2021 and have had issues with my feet and toes ever since. These don’t solve all those problems but I feel a lot better. I didn’t feel like I could comfortably walk 10,000 steps per day and now I do. I’m going over 13,000+ per day.- They were easy to wear even without “breaking in.” I’ve had only minimal breaking in pains and that is a really big deal for me because that’s never been the case before.Cons- The shape and height of the heel back on this shoe rubs into my heel, not just on the bridge but on the sides as well. This meant that I had to buy socks with a heel tab on them. I am not a huge fan of those kinds of socks because they are always super thick. This means that a lot of the glorious room I got in these shoes was then taken away from me by thick socks that I didn’t even want to buy. So just remember that if you buy these shoes you now also have to buy $20 of socks.- The shoelaces are not typical for tennis shoes and they’re the kind of tubular ones. This means that they are harder to untie and more likely to get stuck in annoying knots.- I had to relearn to walk in these shoes. The sole is so thick and springy that walking is not intuitive at first. I fell off my walking pad the first time I used it with these shoes.Overall, these are really great shoes and I highly recommend them.

Great for walking/everyday wear; nice size selection
After giving birth, I needed to get rid of pretty much all of my shoes because my feet got longer by a half size.I went to a sport shoe store and got a white pair of these and LOVED them. They are so comfy, provide me the right amount of arch and foot support. I come from a family where the women have larger than average foot size, so finding shoes can be difficult for me. Brooks offers a really nice size range, so it’s not too hard for me to find shoes that fit and are actually cute.For what I needed, these seem like they will be very durable, which is just daily walking and running around after a toddler.I got the purple color from Amazon when they had a little bit of a sale. I’m not typically a “need the same shoe in different colors” kind of person, but these shoes are just that good, in my opinion.

Most Comfortable Running Shoe. Worth Every Penny!
Best running shoes from Brooks. I was a die hard Ghost fan, but this does not compare. No blisters, my feet feel like they have just enough room to be comfy. Color is actually really pretty. My runs are so much more enjoyable with these shoes. Training for a half marathon and have had zero issues so far.

Have been a loyal Asics customer for almost ten years but had the opportunity to purchase a pair of these at an event on clearance and have been loving them so far. I walk at least 10km a day and the soles and outer baby toe of my last 4 pairs of Asics did not stand up, these see to be holding up better so far and didn’t require any breaking in period.

Really comfy trainers. Did take a bit of getting used to the bounce of them, to begin with they felt a little unsteady. I was suffering from shin splints before these and they have helped massively. Also great to find a pair of brooks that aren’t dark coloured

Laufen wie auf Wolken. Einzig etwa eine halbe Nummer größer wäre noch besser gewesen.

Love these shoes, they’re different from any others I have seen and absolutely love the colours! They fit nicely and feel great on. And I’ve also had a few PBs since getting them
