Customer Reviews Brooks Anthem 5

I absolutely love these shoes! Since receiving them, I have worn them every morning for my daily walk/jog. They are extremely comfortable, fit very well (even with my high arches), & look so cute!

I have worn these shoes for years. I usually wear a size 6 but I like a wider shoe so I size up a half a size to 6.5 and it’s perfect. They’re so cute and the most comfortable and supportive shoe I’ve owned.

I have never tried Brooks before. The fit is great. I put them on right away and wore them. No break in time as with other shoes. I'll be purchasing again.

very comfortable working a 12 hour shift

I put them on right out of the box and wore them to work. Best shoes I’ve had in awhile. Soooo comfy and still supportive. A perfect choice!

No arch support and my custom orthotics do not fit. I purchased a store orthotics and only wear these to work and not for exercise. Purchase Brooks Adrenaline if you can afford the extra money.

This was a new style for me. I spend 12 hours shifts on my feet, these have surpassed 72 hours of standing and are great. Fit true to size, good support as well as cushion.

I’ve worn brooks shoes before and knew I loved them. However, this particular shoe was not right for me. It was initially very comfortable but after 2-3 months of wearing them I noticed my feet and shins were slowly hurting more and more. I’m going to have to return them unfortunately. Also, make sure as always with Brooks shoes, that you order a half size up than normal! Thank you brooks for having larger sizes and 11.5’s!!

Love the colors on these shoes. The mesh of the shoe is a very light gray, which shows less dirt than other colors. The aqua color is nice. It is a muted greenish color similar to the statue of liberty patina. These seem to run a bit roomier in the toe box compared to other Brooks running shoes I've had, which is a good thing. They could use a bit more arch support, but I have very high arches, so they're probably fine for most people. The insole is nice and cushy as well. Overall very happy with these.

I´ve worn Brooks for 10 years. It´s my favorite sneakers brand. However, this style was not as expected since shoes felt stiff and narrow, their laces untied constantly, and they hurt my feet after wearing them all day long. They look nice though.

These are really comfortable. I feel good wearing them all day. They are my second pair of Brooks and are much more comfortable than the first pair I owned. I might actually buy these in other colors I like them so much. True to size. Good width. No aches after standing and walking a while. Keepers!

This is my first pair of Brooks. I love the shoe as well as the fit. My only issue are the strings. They are flimsy and doesn’t stay tied. I do plan to order more Brooks I highly recommend them!!

Great low drop running shoe, which is compatible with my high arches. Hoping this flatter shoe decreases my ankle issues.

I have a hard time finding sneakers to fit my feet, which are somewhat wide near my toes, with bunions. I tried several other sneakers from Zappos before I found these, and I am grateful to Zappos for making it so east to explore possibilities. These sneakers are super comfortable and nice-looking. They had plenty of room in the toe box, which I need, and they did not press down on my high instep. I walked around the house to try them out and did not want to take them off.

These are great. I have large feet & have tons of trouble buying shoes. I walk upwards to 5 miles daily for the Conqueror Challenges & need comfortable, safe shoes. I walk in the forest, on the Ranch & roadsides. Most shoes I order end up being too short and/or uncomfortable so I have to return them :( These aren't the most attractive shoes, but they fit perfectly & offer some cushioning without Merrell's new overly-padded lining & tongue that just add to the clunkiness. I'll be ordering another pair of Brooks. Thanks, Zappos, for always being here for me with your outstanding selections & fast service :)

These are so very lightweight and comfortable right out of the box. I usually wear a half size larger in athletic shoes, and that’s what I ordered in these and they fit well! I wear these for casual and walking.

So much comfort! This was my first pair of Brooks and I may never go back! I bought what I thought would be a teal/white pair (judging from pictures) but it looks more like teal and gray in person. This was not a big deal for me but thought it worth mentioning in case someone is looking for a truly white pair of shoes.

First time I have tried Brooks and will continue to buy them. I work at a specialty veterinary practice so they get me through the day with support and comfort. Needed something with more support since my feet started to hurt me.

The fit was correct. I use custom orthotics so the fit was good. They just didn't have as much cushion as I was looking for.

The shoes fit perfectly and I like the spacious toe box and that the sole is not so huge and bulky.

I normally get Ghosts but wanted to try something different. There isn't quite as much to these as I was hoping...not a cushiony or substantial as what I'm used to with the Ghosts. Overall, I got a great deal on these and they fit and look nice.

The fit was okay, the toe box was fine, but the heel was way too large and this was when I put the shoe laces in the closest hole in the back and tried to tighten them up as much as I could. They seem to slide up and down as I walked around on my bedroom carpet.

These were recommended by my podiatrist as a good quality shoe for walking and good support. They are comfortable, have plenty of room in the toe box while still maintaining a good snug heel fit and decent arch support. So far they have been great and I have purchased a second pair in black.

I don't run in these so I don't know how great they are for that, but they are just what I needed for my weight training class with light aerobics. My feet feel stable in these shoes.

the fit is great . Very comfortable, light weight and great arch support. I have tried many, and these are the best.
