Great love em

When you add the insert, it makes the fit a little tight.

For our son. Fit was as expected - went a bit smaller in size since we had read these run a bit large, probably because of the room at the toe. Well constructed and should last a long tine. Basic style but it is used for work environment so no problem. Glad we purchased this.

I love my shoes! They are very supportive, especially around the ankle area, but still have enough room in the toes to be comfortable even when walking down hill. These are good shoes to wear all day long, even after a workout. I wear them with light weight socks. Usually, my shoes are size 8.5 to 9; these shoes are size 9.5.

Fit just right and the best shoe I've ever worn.

I have high arches, meaning my feet tend to roll outward, placing a lot of my weight on the outer corners of my feet. After sever foot pains and a Dr visit, I purchased my first high end shoe (Asics) They worked well, but after a year I needed to replace them (which is normal). Explaining my foot issue to a high end store rep, who I thought could help... He gives me a $140 pair of Asics. I get them home and the pain in my feet became excruciating. 3 months past by, and I'm committed to my walking but I finally can't take the pain anymore. Come to find out he gave me shoes for the opposite problem. Forcing my feet even more pressure! I looked and looked for another pair of Asics that worked for high arches and couldn't seem to find an affordable, good looking pair that describes what I needed. So I googled best shoes for high arches and these Brooks Ghost came up. They had great reviews, so I give it a try.

To get to the point of my review...

1 week later and I'm up to 4 miles a day with a pep in my walk. Best damn shoes ever. I'm 5'4" and weigh 214 lbs. My shoes take the shock of the weight and guide my foot properly, and they look amazing (a total bonus). Its worth every penny I spent and I'm sold for life. Way to go Brooks!! Make sure you select a pair of shoes right for your feet and arches (low, neutral, and high)

Great for my mild bunions on my big toe joints. I have arthritis in my big toe joints and I get constant pain there if the shoe isn't wide enough. The regular size of this style rubs so I must buy a wide. I tried these on elsewhere before because I was interested, and wanted to buy from Amazon. This is the only brand of shoes I wear now due to my bunions (rarely wear heels or flats unless its for an occasion). Women's size for regular width is M. Wide in women's shoes would be a D. I also bought an almost black pair with gray (for work) but had to buy a men's style because they don't have the same color schemes in women's. The cushioning for GHOST 10 is THE BEST for the Ghost line so far. I feel like I'm walking on pillows! Very stable and keeps my foot from rolling inward. The heel area is a bit high, but gives the support. The shoes are light weight even though it may look a bit cluncky at the heel. Don't let the look fool you. I use one pair for work (with Power Step insoles per my Dr. for the bunions and because I'm on my feet 8 hours a day) and one for running and walking (without insoles).

Helpful hint I learned; women's and men's Ghost shoes are the same for the make up of the shoe cushion and build materials except for the width and size of course. Women who wear men's shoes would be 1 1/2 size smaller. Men's widths are automatically wide size D for their "regular size". Example, I wear a 10W(D) in women's. In men's I am an 8 1/2(D). If I was a regular width in women's I would be a 10(M). Also I learned that as you gain weight your foot expands as well and has to take some of the tension in the feet, therefore you should take this into consideration when sizing. For those who are dealing with the bunion issue, I took a picture (don't laugh my feet are a little tan but not gross either lol). I think its important to show because many other types of athletic shoes for years make shoes way too narrow but rarely offer wider sizes in the popular styles. Although this has changed for the better in recent years it still can be a pain for folks who need a wide with or something to accommodate their foot issues. So we are stuck with the not so great looking popular shoes sometimes. But Brooks has one of the best looking athletic shoes that offer stability and support for individuals needing a wide shoe, and/or have flat feet- IMO. There are some others brands that do the same as well. Those for me are hit and miss because sometimes the stitching and material would rub in the bunion area or some styles for a particular year wasn't reinforced enough. But for my feet, none of the Brooks styles I have ever owned disappointed me! Learning what type of feet I have and getting checked up on my foot issues helped me focus on better shoes for my health. My money, time, and investment has been well spent with the Brooks brand instead of focusing on the "popular shoes everyone has to have".

Feel great on my feet, and looking forward doing my evening walks in them. PERFECT
