Brooks Women's Ghost 14 Neutral Running Shoes - Lightweight Cushioned Sneakers for Road Running, Jogging & Gym Workouts - Perfect for Marathon Training & Daily Fitness

I had a pair of Ghost 14s that I'd worn out. This recent pair I went with a Wide and oh my goodness, it's made a huge difference. I usually wear insoles to help with flat feet and prevent plantar fasciitis - the first two weeks I barely noticed I hadn't switched my insoles over. The Wide width toebox gives my feet room without feeling like they're sliding around and by using the snuggest top hole, helps control for my narrow heels (my feet are odd - C/D width across the balls of my feet, narrow width heels).I slipped them on right out of the box and they felt amazing. I didn't feel like I had to "get used to them" or break them in. I did swap the laces for some printed flat laces and that was mostly easy - one or two eyelets needed a bit of work while threading the laces, but as I change my laces rarely, I don't see this as an issue. I wear these to the gym for strength training and occasionally out if I'm walking a lot.I'm also grateful I managed to catch these on sale - they're worth it at full price, but on sale just makes the purchase all the better!
