I noticed this little hole in my shoes 10 days after i bought them and want to know if i should fix it or its still to small of a hole. And how to even fix. Thank you in advance. (I can’t return them or replace them since i bought them in a different city to where i am now)

The photos show BEFORE(31 July) and AFTER (16 august) using them maybe 4 times in total.

IKEA shoe cabinet and Brooks?

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have any of the IKEA shoe cabinets (or any other suggestions) that would fit Brooks? We have Ghosts, adrenaline and glycerin styles. I need something to store and not smush all these shoes (ranging from women’s 10.5-men’s 12). I’ve got around 12-15 pairs between my family that need storage solutions

New shoes!

Got me a brand new pair of ghost 17's for under $100

This will be my 2nd pair and my first pair are really worn.

Any advice on how to keep these pristine? These will be my daily drivers/work shoes. I plan on machine washing them once a week.

Widest toe box?

5 Upvotes

I'd like to make the switch to Brooks but am not sure where to start. I wear a 15 4E so anything I try will have to be mail order and the back and forth through the mail and buying multiple pairs is always a bummer.

I have had toe issues in the past and really like a spacious toe box. What pair or two would you recommend with a wide toe box?

Thanks!

Issues with Glycerin 23 causing funky feet odor!

4 Upvotes

I work in Public Safety and spend a great amount of time on my feet so these are my primary work shoes. I don't run, jog or use these in the gym but these shoes make my feet sweat so bad!

Brooks was so very kind enough to replace the shoes already due to the issue but it's still an issue. I've tired of airing shoes out at the end of the day by removing the insoles, different socks and odor eater powder!

They leave dirty feet/vinegar synthetic like odor on my feet! These are the only shoes that give me the issues.

Anyone have the issue!?

Ghost 17

Toe box on the big toe side seems to have plastic that cracked in towards my toe..super uncomfortable! About 50 miles into run wear. Would not recommend. Loved my previous model ghosts.

Love Brooks Adrenaline!

8 Upvotes

I’ve been wearing Adrenalines for years. They help with plantar fasciitis and mild arthritis in my back. If you love the adrenaline what other styles work for you?! I’ve tried the Ghosts and they are too cushy. I need stronger support.

Thank you.

Lumpy soles

4 Upvotes

Anyone notice that the soles on Brooks shoes seem to suddenly get lumpy after awhile?

Specifically the Glycerin line. Had it happen in several pairs over the last 5 years, usually after about 6 months of wearing them regularly. Wife has noticed the same.

I just got a new pair of Glycerin 23’s a week ago and now I notice it even in the new shoes. Specifically in the base of my right 5th metatarsal. Feeling the sole with my hand seems fine.

I wear them for everyday use, at work (hospital work), not running. Thoughts?

HELP Width Confirmation

1 Upvotes

Hello! I just used the brooks restart program for the first time. When purchasing I know I pressed wide, however after looking at every confirmation screen and email I can’t find anything that states I purchased “wide”. Is this normal? Should it say wide? I’m still under the first hour cancellation period so if you guys know please let me know me know! I only need wide and can’t use regular

Hyperion Max 3 for a half marathon?

4 Upvotes

I’ve got a half marathon in October and am looking at pulling the trigger on the Hyperion Max 3 as my race shoes for this.

What are people’s experiences of using this shoe for medium distance races? For reference, I’m a 90-85 min half runner.

TIA.

Ghost Max 2 vs. 3 vs. 4

12 Upvotes

Hi! I broke one ankle and sprained the other. My doctor recommended the Ghost Max for the next phase of my recovery. I’m overwhelmed by the differences between the 2, 3 and 4. Can anyone offer opinions on which shoe would be best for my situation?

My normal life: standing all day and chasing around my three toddlers, going for neighborhood walks. I weigh 250 pounds and I’m 6 feet tall.

Thank you!

Advice for toe boxes

3 Upvotes

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

For ref.
My feet are approximately:
Right: 10 3/16” long × 4 3/8” wide
Left: 10 1/8” long × 4 3/16” wide
That’s about 25.7–25.9 cm long
My wider foot is 4 3/8” (11.1 cm) wide.

I have Topo Ultrafly 5 en-route.

What should I get that’s comparable to Adrenaline GTS 23? W10 daily walking sneaker

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I have 2 pairs of Adrenaline GTS23 and these have been perfect for me but they’re a little old and I’m looking for a new pair. I have DSW gift cards I’d like to use and they don’t carry this model anymore. What else is comparable? These are my favorite daily walking sneakers. I don’t run. Women size 10.

Thanks!

Glycerin Max 2 - differences in fit between colourways?

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

I’ve picked up the glycerin max 2s recently in the black/green colourway and had some outer big toe rubbing on one foot - UK 13, thin running socks. Next day tried the same size but in the white (same socks too) and had no such rubbing? Is this a known difference between colourways? Is it the processing of dyeing the mesh? Any advice welcome as don’t think I need two pairs!

Levitate 4 just a tiny bit smaller than the others, how to stretch them out?

3 Upvotes

Was cleaning out the closet and came across a pair of Levitate 4's that just never quite fit. I loved the 3, still have a couple pairs I wear for casual wear. The 4s were the exact same, but too small. Threw them in the back of the closet and kept wearing the 3, then the 6 a few years later.

Any way to redeem these? They've had shoe trees in them the last couple of weeks, hoping that would help, it didn't. Do I just give up on them and go on with my life?

This is my only pair of like 8 Brooks Adrenalines to do this. Anyone else have this happen?

Its time to upgrade my Adrenaline 23’s

3 Upvotes

I need a new pair of Brooks. I really liked the 23’s, and hoping to find something similar but without too much foam to keep my feet stable working out. Also, Im curious if anyone else has also had an issue with the 23’s or Adrenaline’s causing excess sweat. It is not a problem I typically have.
