These are my second pair of brooks in a month. Was time for some new walking sneakers. Brooks 10 were the first fit great . Loved the black ghost 9 colors was a little hesitant people comment they ran small. Well I wear a size 11-12 in sneakers medium width. They are great right out of the box. Plenty of toe wiggle room. I cant attest for runners but great for walking ... shopping... and everything I need. I am a fan
