The most comfortable sneakers
I normally wear a 7.5 wide and purchased a 7.5 double wide due to having a Stress Fracture. These are the best sneakers I have ever had. They are breathable, comfortable, wide not only on the toe area but on the top which makes the sneakers so much comfortable. I am a little chunkier on the top also. I can wear these sneakers all day and my feet do not suffer; no more pain while I walk. The sneakers provide the support that is needed to let my foot heal. Highly recommended and worth the price. They are very well made, the color I chose is vibrant and they look good with anything I wear. Including wearing them with a nice pair of jeans and a blazer. I would like to see them more colors; especially since I work in a professional environment. All black perhaps or all in white; etcetera. If you have problems with your feet and you are wide but a little chunky on the top, I recommend the double wide. These truly fit as expected; choose your regular size.

FINALLY! A fit for short wide foot!
I’m 76 YO, not a runner, but needed an “athletic” (what we called, “tennis) shoe. 😉 Have at least 6 pair bought at various sites & in-store that just are not comfortable. Last year I decided to try one more and bought this shoe — and YEA!!! Size 5 wide, 35.5, fit my feet perfectly! Very comfortable from the first wear and I love the LACE-UP (not a fan of the fixed eyelet shoe laces). So THANK YOU BROOKS! Saving my money to buy a fun color!

Highly recommend if you have plantar fasciitis issues
Love, love, love, love these shoes. Ordered new pair for a trip to Chicago and walked all day. Excellent support and comfort for a person who has plantar fasciitis. No pain just support!

Great Shoe
I was a bit hesitant in getting this shoe because I have been wearing the Addiction shoe now for about 2-3 years. I have orthotics and so it is hard for me to find shoes that support my foot, is comfortable, and able to slide the orthotics into without difficulty. Since these are on sale, I thought I would try them. Saving about $40 per pair of shoes is a good sale in my opinion. The first thing I noticed when I got them was that these are significantly lighter than my Addiction style and so I was a bit concerned that they might not hold my foot like the Addiction. However, my orthotics slid right in, and from the minute I put the shoes on, they fit perfect. No pain, no breaking in of the shoe, they are just comfortable! Lots of room in the toe box, no slipping on the heel, they seem to have a good padding. I could not ask for a better shoe! I have just ordered another pair before the sale goes off in a slightly different color. The pattern I really wanted was sold out, but hey, for the price and the fit/comfort, I'll find a pattern I like as there are many to choose from.

Comfy Shoes, Slightly Smaller Than Expected
I've heard a lot of praise for Brooks shoes, since I had worked at a factory type job where I was on my feet 10 hours a day. I've changed jobs but now I'm on my feet 12 hours, and all my other shoes are worn out, which causes my hips to hurt when wearing them for more than an hour or two.Overall, Brooks seem to be very comfortable shoes. However, I normally wear a U.S. size 8.5, rarely a size 9 and occasionally 8.5 wide depending on how the shoe is made. I bought the usual size, but didn't use the "try before you buy" option since I needed them that week. As it turns out, for this particular shoe I need a size 9; they're a little too short and a little too tight. They fit and have broken in over the past few days, but they'd be more comfortable with the slightly larger size. I didn't dock the comfort star for that, because that was my own personal error in judgment.My heels hurt throughout the day when wearing these. I don't know if that's because I'm getting used to being on my feet for extended hours again or because the shoes don't offer as much padding on the heel as I'd prefer. I've docked the star on comfort (and overall rating) in part because of the heel pain and in part because I feel like they could use a little more arch support. That being said, my hips aren't hurting after wearing them and I'm recovering well on my days off--so I know they're supporting my feet well. They're still very comfortable shoes, and they're also about as cute as sneakers get. I might not buy them again for work depending if my heels continue to hurt over the next few weeks, but I'd definitely buy them for general wear or workout use.
