I was looking for a pair of good running shoes. I don't know why there isn't a brand that makes them narrow. However, Brooks is my true friend, so I gave them a try. I wish they were a little narrower but they fit very well. A little thing: I thought they looked gray in the picture, but in reality they are more of a lavender colour. I didn't like it but I kept them because I was tired of returning shoes. For those who are looking for tight shoes like me, Salomon had a really good pair but the stitching of the insert gave me blisters just walking around the kitchen.
