4.5
I've been wearing Brooks Ghost shoes for the last few years now. The first time I tried Ghost, I wanted to order another 4 or 5 pairs, they were so comfortable. Because I work in a warehouse on concrete, there's a LOT of walking and of course standing. I bought the Glycerin based on the the stability factor. I thought they might offer a more stable standing posture, if that makes sense. I received them today and they are very attractive, but the first thing I noticed is the fit. Because they offer the "sock liner" type fit, it's difficult to get your foot in, especially if you're wearing a typical sock. I also noticed the cushion around the top of the foot is far less than the Ghost shoes. They are probably quite nice for someone working out/running without socks, but I didn't think they were as comfortable and definitely not as cushion-y as the Ghost. I didn't think they offered as good of arch support either. With each pair of new Ghost's, you can immediately feel the arch support and a light, soft, bouncy feel. Didn't get that with the Glycerin. I am returning and have ordered the tried and true Ghost.
