Brooks running shoes are more comfortable than any other shoes of this type that I have ever worn. I have 2 pairs and find myself wearing my Brooks daily, even when I am not going for a long walk or run. I bought this model for my mom in the Pink-Purple-Black combination. To say she was thrilled is an understatement. She is 90 years old and wears them everywhere she goes. Walking is critical at 90 freespirit · dsw.com

The most comfortable road shoe I have ever worn. And the guide rail..... it's just a little lateral support. A whisper to your foot saying, "stay in the right position my friend." Like a few drops of maple syrup in an old fashioned drink. Just a little something to take it to the next level. altrarunning.com
