I have been wearing Hoka for the longest time and want to give Brooks another chance. Saw these plush-looking shoe with the highest price and thought I would try. As soon as I put them on, my toes did not have much wiggle room just by sitting or standing. I had them on and took my first walk around the neighborhood and they really did not do well. My feet are very slender and are not wide but then my toes were really squished especially going downhill. After walking for 30 mins and my feet started to swell a little, I could not stand having them on. I wore the thinnest possible socks and I ordered my usual size 8 for all major brands (Nike/ Hoka) but for some reason they are very tight. The edge of the tongue of the shoes kept pressing my bones on the feet which added more discomfort. On the plus side it did have good cushioning and support but bottom of the front part of the shoes gave that sudden drop and it felt a little weird to walk on. Anyhow, I gave these expensive shoes a try but they do not work for me. Hope you all have better luck with them.
