Originally born in 1982, the legendary Brooks Chariot was one of the most worn running shoes by runners in the eighties. Our rejuvenated award-winner features many of the same tech qualities pioneered during the decade. A medial wedge for pronation control, molded tri-layer insole for cushioning, solid rubber outsole, reflective hits for visibility – this shoe blew legwarmers out of the water. Crafted from our history yet designed for the modern man, what’s past is prologue has never been a truer statement.
Please note: The Chariot pays tribute to its original design, but this modern refresh is not a performance running shoe. As everyday kicks, you may wish to choose a half size smaller than your Brooks running shoes.

Special!
Came with two laces. I wear they as an everyday shoe, not for performance. Certainly a conversation starter. The "suede" collects dirt easy, use caution with light colors.

Comments about Chariot:
Stylish shoe that feels comfortable and would be a great around-towner. Feels very durable and well made. Unfortunately, I ordered a 9.5, which is what I am in EVERY shoe I wear, and these were quite tight. I will have to size up to a 10. Good customer service.

Use this as an everyday casual shoe and have no complaints. I've even worn them for theme park visits where I was on my feet for at least 6 hours with no feeling of fatigue.

Comments about Chariot:
These shoes look great and well made. Unfortunately I needed a half size larger than my usual size and it was sold out. The fitting app told me these shoes were true to size but it's wrong and they are easily a half size smaller than listed. Due yourself a favor and order up. Wish these would have worked out, great shoe for the price.

Comments about Chariot:
I usually wear an 11 but with these I had to move up to 11.5. Even the 11.5 is almost too small. A copule months after purchasing these I ended up getting a second pair but tried a size 12. I prefer the size twelve over my pair that is an 11.5. Conclusion, get at least a half size bigger than you usually do.

Comments about Chariot:
Overall this is a nice sneaker for casual outings. Plenty of color options to match your personality. My only real complaint is that the actual color of the shoe I received did not completely match what is shown on the website pictures. I ordered the royal blue pair which looked a little more subtle on the website. The blue of my sneakers I received in the box was much richer and almost had a purple hue that I did not see in the pictures. Still ok, but did not match my expectations which was a little of a disappointment. Not sure if this will change as I wear them more, but I would still order another pair. Could just be unique to my pair or this particular color.
