Favorire Out Of All Of Them
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best running shoe out of all of them. Anthems do NOT hurt my feet, they don't ache. And I run faster. Need to make more of these. Oh, and I also get lots of compliments on the the color, green; I tell them immidately Anthems are the way to go; ie, everyone thinks Glycerines hurt their feet, me included.

Nice Cushioning, But No Removable Insole, And Squeaks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear Brooks Running shoes exclusively. I recently purchased the Anthem 8 as it was a great price point. I didn't read the entire description of the shoes, and realized that the insole cannot be removed. I need an orthotic and cannot use them in these shoes. I will be returning due to this issue as wells the squeaking when I walk on a hard surface. I am hopeful that my old standard, the Ghost, is still the quality I expect from Brooks.

Not Really A Fan Of Anthem 8
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a fan of the Anthem shoes for several years now. However, the Anthem 8 is too soft in the sole. I need the stability that the previous versions offered. It's still a well built shoe, just wish it was not so soft and squishy on the bottom.

I bought these specifically for walks, but the shoe is so comfortable and easy to wear that even my daughter is wearing them to high school.

Sticking With Ghost From Now On
I decided to try Anthem instead of Ghost, which I always buy. I found the Anthem to be too narrow, and I actually have narrow feet. I do have problems with my feet and within a day of wearing the new Anthem shoes, I developed a blister on my right foot. Fortunately, sending them back, receiving a refund and buying a new pair of Ghost was easy. I liked the cushioning of Anthem, but the blister was a reason to return.

Anthem 8
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Athem 8’s are comfortable and provide support. They are not my most favorite Brooks shoe that I own.

Great Fit And Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great pair of shoes for anyone who is into fitness and cares about comfort. They're lightweight, have good support, and are good for running or going to the gym. I attend fitness classes at my local gym and found these very comfortable and easy to move around in. The cushioning is perfect and the arch support is good. I also wore them on my morning runs and found that they are comfortable and my feet and back feel great afterwards. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great quality shoe for running or the gym. They also fit true to size.

Great All Terrain Running Sneaker!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a mom to 4 kids raging from 8 years- 1 year as well as have been running for over 10 years and have tried my fair share of different sneakers. I was never able to find a pair that I could run both on the treadmill and outside with, as well as wear all day while taking care of my toddler and baby, until these. I have found that most running shoes I have owned hurt my knees and lower back the next day if I wore them for my day to day activities as well as running. I have been wearing these sneakers for 2 weeks now, usually for multiple hours a day, and I can see that I feel great. Since I live in the east coast, which had our fair share of snow and freezing winter days recently, I haven’t been outside most days and have been using this on my treadmill and trail running outside. I love them! The cushioning is great! The DNA loft v2 cushioning is effective in being lightweight, yet comfortable. These shoes are lighter than a lot of my running shoes and have less cushioning, but I still feel they are adequate or maybe even superior for my knees and back. Everyone has been telling me to try Brooks and I am so happy I finally did! Just a note on sizing. I vary from a 9-9.5 and I think that these run a little true to size/ small so I went with a 9.5 and they are great!
