Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Women's Brooks Ghost Black Ebony Size 10.5 Shoes by David Banks

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Lightweight, Comfortable Shoe

I was warned that these shoes run small and that was a valuable warning. I chose the "Fit as expected" option based on my experience described below. If I were to buy the size I usually buy, I would choose the "Too Small" option. I usually wear normal size 9.5 shoes. I went to the store to try on this brand and my regular size was too small in length and width. I tried on a 10.5 wide shoe (the shoe had a tag that said "Wide" and a "D" on the tongue) and they fit much better. The store didn't have the color I wanted in that size so I checked out Revain. The width options in the Revain sizing chart are narrow, medium, wide and extra wide. I chose "Wide" based on what I saw. When I received the shoes I looked at the tongue and it read 2E for width. I thought crap, these things are going to be flapping around on my feet like crazy. .So I went one size longer and 2 widths larger than what I've been wearing for years. I'm honestly amazed that 59 out of 74 people said this shoe "fits". If I had bought the 9.5, medium width I would have had to return it. I would caution anyone looking to buy these shoes online not to go to the store and try them on before you buy. The shoes are very comfortable and light and I will definitely buy Brooks again. I may eventually switch to round laces as I prefer round laces.

Pros
  • BALANCED, SOFT CUSHION: BioMoGo DNA and DNA LOFT work together to provide just the right amount of cushioning underfoot without sacrificing responsiveness or durability, while feeling lighter than ever. DNA LOFT now forms the entire midsole for a softer, smoother ride.
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
