I've been wearing the brooks Glycerin series since the 19. I switched to this shoe because of the comfort and support it offered me. My feet hurt in these even after a day of just walking.

Too narrow at the toe?
I have been buying Brooks for the past few years. It seems like the room in the toe section is smaller with the 22's compared to my last pair of 21's. I was not expecting that!

It has helped reduce my knee pain which has provided me the opportunity to exercise more. I would recommend it to anyone who needs more cushioning.

I wear Brooks to work every day as a nurse. Patients love the bright colors
Would buy again. As a nurse Brooks are the only shoes I’ll wear to work.

Good Shoe But....
It's a good shoe BUT I can't believe what happened and it could be my old age but the top part of my foot is painful now and I didn't tie my shoes really tight either. I tied them normally like any shoe to run in. I don't know if the tongue is thicker or I was bending my foot just right running fast or what. I'm going to rest for one week before running in them again. I'll loosen the upper area of my left shoe, my right foot is ok so we will see.

Great for walking
If you want a shoe that feels cushioned for walking, this is your shoe. I have had shoes that I really liked in the past (older Brooks even) but these are a step above.

Lasting comfort
Comfortable arch supporting running/ training sneaker. My second pair. One wasn't enough. Can wear all day without toe cramping or back discomfort. Brooks is my go to brand when it comes to sports footwear.
