Comments about Brooks Ghost Road-Running Shoes - Men's:
I've been running and walking on the Nike Pegasus for years and loved them. The Mizunos were alright, but I've always done really well with the Pegasus. At [...] they told me that this shoe was a similar shoe- both being neutral with a similar toe box and cushioning etc... They are pretty comfortable while running, but as soon as I stop to walk for a cool down they hurt, as well as for the first couple weeks while I broke them in.
