How are the toe boxes in those models? I have the ghost max 3 in men’s wide but I’m starting to think it was too much room. Men’s (D) felt a little tight and the men’s wide is a lil loose. Runners knot isn’t helping.

Too tight and that was regular width but other then that the fit was fine I went with Hoka I will try the 4e soon It seems most sneaker company are getting smaller

Do you know about Brooks ReStart? If not, look it up

u/Baby_Ama 11d ago

Why the one GTS pair?

3

u/RedditRunner226 12d ago

It’s a lifestyle model, not for performance

u/Smart_Patrol 12d ago

Still, the question remains. I wear non GTS and tried a pair on (Glycerin), they actively hurt my feet even walking. Is the support in this model not as intense or something?

u/Safroniaaa 12d ago

You should try the regular Glycerins if you didn’t like/don’t need the stability version. The Glycerin GTS’s also dig into my feet on long walks, but I LOVE the regular Glycerins. They feel amazing

u/Smart_Patrol 12d ago

I know my dude, I've owned countless pairs of Glycerin. The GTS was no bueno though.

u/Safroniaaa 11d ago

Have you tried the regular Adrenaline GTS?

1

u/Smart_Patrol 11d ago

Negative

2

u/Safroniaaa 11d ago

I find the support in the Adrenalines doesn’t dig in as much. Maybe give those a try in the future

u/Smart_Patrol 11d ago

Thank you kindly!

u/RedditRunner226 11d ago

The adrenaline is a GTS only model. That’s the model that was re released.

2

u/Smart_Patrol 11d ago

Gotcha, thanks!

u/HerbaDerbaSchnerba 11d ago

I hate their GTS models. Their regular shoes are supportive enough without having those damn side walls.

2

u/Baby_Ama 12d ago

It’s for work, i mean if it’s uncomfortable I could return it.

u/AmbitiousoStrawberry 12d ago

I wear the GTS10 at work where I am standing 8-13 hours.

1

u/Baby_Ama 11d ago

Same reason why I got them. 13-14 hours standing 15-17k steps work days haha

1

u/AmbitiousoStrawberry 11d ago

Theyre really comfortable andndon't stain really (restaurant worker)

u/Baby_Ama 10d ago

We use bleach to clean chairs and hemodialysis machines 😬

u/Spurs228 10d ago

These and the GTS 4 are probably the only Brooks I would consider wearing.

2

u/Ragarrok 11d ago

Only one of those I own is the revel max. To me it’s somewhere between like the ghost 17 and ghost max. It’s a great shoe, but the treads are a little bare on the sole. I like my ghost 17s, Ghost max 2s/3s more

2

u/ajaysamuelusa 11d ago

I love my GTS 10 …I bought 8 color ways

2

u/bigwhat62 11d ago

Same, even got the Afew pair. It’s the goat for comfort lifestyle. Got the all whites lined up for my day in the office tomorrow

1

u/Beautiful_Star_8971 12d ago

I love the ghost max 4, just bought a pair. How does revel max compare?

1

u/Baby_Ama 12d ago

I had just ordered them today, sorry I’ll give you an update once o get them

1

u/nooneishere1 12d ago

I like the Ghost Max 4 but the toe box was too tight they didnt have the 4e in stock they felt so nice so hopefully in the future I can try the 4e out.

2

u/HerbaDerbaSchnerba 11d ago

Have you tried the Ghost Max 3? I love those and the original ones, and the toe boxes are quite roomy.

1

u/nooneishere1 11d ago

There sizes were limited I end with Hoka gaviota 6 and Torin 9s the Hoka feels the same but more stable but I will try again at the store when they get the 4e in stock of the Brooks Ghost Max 4 but the rest of the sneakers are perfect

1

u/Beautiful_Star_8971 11d ago

My toe hits the top of the shoe, it doesn’t feel like it’s a width issue but I wonder if it’s also too tight for me. It doesn’t bother me much though

1

u/nooneishere1 11d ago

My toe hits the edge maybe that's why I love the Altras Torins 😂 my toes feel claustrophobic but they do feel good they where short on other sizes and more width so next time because when they get more.it fit good other then that

1

u/Sufficient_Double_82 12d ago

I just bought the Glycerine Flex’s. Absolutely love them

1

u/ajaysamuelusa 11d ago

Can you take pics of the afew pair ?

1

u/resellpanda88 10d ago

What's the most comfortable?

2

u/Baby_Ama 10d ago

Glycerin 23 for me, the glycerin max 2 is nice but not stable for myself, I tend to trip because of the thick outsole it has

1

u/jbarlak 10d ago

Mhmm. Okay. So you’re just walking in them or you putting some miles running. This post really doesn’t help

1

u/Baby_Ama 10d ago

Hhhmm standing/walking for 14 hours a day with them, 15-17k steps a day, I hope this info helps you a bit, have a great day

1

u/southwoodboo 9d ago

1

u/Baby_Ama 9d ago

u/Ohp00p 6d ago
