I love these shoes. I have always loved Brooks shoes and have been wearing Brooks for many years now. And without a doubt, this is my most comfortable pair I've ever bought. They always take a week or so to "slow down" so to speak. Not this one, great. There are no high arches or the tips aren't too tight. Great support, I feel it more under the heel on this pair where I would always feel too much pressure under the arch on other pairs. Dear Brooks
