Insanely comfortable- so much so that I bought a second pair. Only downside, the colors aren’t amazing.

Nice Running-Walking Shoe

At first, I was unsure as I haven’t owned a pair of Brooks in a few years. However, this shoe is really good! It has a sturdy foot bed, but feels soft when you’re walking/running.

Unexpectedly Good

Was a bit leery about the shoe at first. However, they are great for running. Also good for walking. Light weight; good footbed and nice support.

Narrow

Love these! I have narrow feet and they are very snug on my feet! They are a little tight to get in to and I got my true size but I think the toe area might be a little too small. I ordered these online so I didn’t try the next size up to see if I’d like them but I think you’d be able to size up based on the fit.

My favorite Brooks yet!

This is my fourth pair of Brooks, and honestly, probably the most comfortable yet. I have flat feet, and finding shoes I can wear all day without fatigue or pain is tough — but these deliver. The support is solid, the cushioning feels great, and my feet stay comfortable from morning to night. If you have flat feet or just need a shoe with reliable all‑day comfort, this one is a winner.

Support And Comfort

These shoes were incredibly comfortable straight out of the box. No “breaking in” needed. Supportive with the right amount of cushion. Not too squishy, not too firm.

Comfortable Sneaker

Very comfortable. Brooks are my go to sneak. 16,000 steps on hard surface in a few hours and no issues with feet after.

Comfy Sneaker

Brooks are my favorite sneakers. This style is very comfortable and true to size. Like walking on a cloud. The color has more of a grey hue to the white. Not a bright white. Wearing with my spring jeans and lightweight joggers.

Comfortable

They got dirty really fast and when washed did not come clean - may be my washer or maybe not.

Very Comfy And Bouncy Sole

The sole is comfortable and supportive on treadmill. I had purchased Brooks Trace 4 earlier and my sole was aching after long walk on treadmill. This one is better for hard surface walking. Regular size is little too snuggly and so got a half size larger for more room.

Comfy

I like these sneakers. Very comfortable. My first order was damaged, but ordered another pair. Hopefully they're okay. Didn't open yet. But when I tried the first pair on, I felt like I was walking on air!

Comfort and Stability for Every Day!

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! I was (and am) a fan of the Ghost Max 2, but I love these even more. I find that I feel a little more grounded in these and I can wear them daily for everything from standing to walking long miles. I only wish there were more color options!
