Review on Ultimate Performance & Style: Brooks Men's Ghost Black Ebony Sneakers by Robert Correa

This is my first pair of Brooks that I have bought. That said, I've done a lot of reviews of good neutral shoes and settled on the Ghost 11 (bonus, they were in my favorite colors) but unboxing these shoes was starting to frustrate me. Positive Delivery was very quick. Colors The shoes seem comfortable (it's cold when you're not walking). The price is good for a very solid proven shoe. Buy shoes that someone has already used. I like to keep shoe boxes to store my shoes, that's not going to happen with this pair of shoes. The shoes were laced and knotted! Again, I wasn't really expecting to get a pair of shoes for $128. They have been worn and the heels show that the shoes have been "pushed off the foot". Aka someone was too lazy to untie and remove it. You can even see footprints! Scratch marks can also be seen on the cushioning on the outside of the shoe, as if someone had already walked in them. The shoes are slightly larger than size 10. Overall the shoes are good and seem to be what I am looking for but I am very unhappy that I have received a pre-owned pair of shoes that someone has just boxed up and returned unacknowledged and then mailed to me. I'm hoping Brooks will contact me about this situation as I haven't read many reviews about it and I'm certainly one of the lucky few. Today is the first of February and I have to train and run for the upcoming competitions. So I take my old, not very knee-friendly shoes. I seem to be a new Brooks customer, but that's not satisfying.
