Women's Vanguard

I too bought the shoes thinking they would be red. I was disappointed with the dusty pink but still liked them enough to keep them. Initially they felt kind of lightweight and cheap for the price, but they've been great. I do appreciate light weight feel and comfty sole. I also LOVE the retro style and having a cute suede shoe from Brooks to wear around when I'm not running. I hope Brooks continues to offer retro casual wear shoes.

I normally wear a 7 and have somewhat wide feet, so I ordered a 7.5, which ensured I had plenty of toe room. For the record, I saw the film by Bob Anderson called A Long Run (he's the creator of Runner's World) and whenever they showed pictures of the shoe review from the 70s, there were the Brooks that looked like these with the same retro box these come in. I thought that was awesome. Like I said, I hope they keep some of the retro casual apparel/shoe options.

Long time Brooks running shoe wearer, but bought the sneaks for a trip to Tokyo where I would be walking alot but needed a "styled sneaker". Light, smart looking and able to fit my custom orthodics which provided the needed support. Only slight con were the white laces which was easily remedied with a purchase of brown - looks much, much better! I usually don't write product reviews but these shoes really hit the mark - nice job!

Stylish, yet practical.

Thought these shoes were really cute. The picture on the website looked red, however, when the shoes arrived they were a dusty pink. Customer service said they'd put the wrong picture up online. So disappointing as I really wanted the red. Returned them only because of the color issue, otherwise the shoes themselves were nice.

Disclaimer - I'm an employee! I recently went to Europe and loved having these as my comfortable yet stylish go-to walking shoes. When not wanting to stick out like a sore thumb as a tourist it is important to have a cute walking shoe and these were awesome.
