My Brooks Ghost 3 lasted less than 2 months. My right toe is protruding through the thin, cheap material. Horrible rip off. Would not recommend to anyone.

I’ve only had 2 my entire life, the first one decades ago when Brooks Hydroflow was a thing. The only other is the Gel Kinsei Blast 2 which is a nice fitting shoe with the mesh upper but slightly heavy. It might still be available online.

I tend to have this issue and the running store recommended Adrenaline GTS for my wonky gait. My husband bought me the RD ones (blue and yellow Mickey) and I love them. My feet love them too!

I wear Brooks Ghost 4E (size 13). They work pretty well for me.

Same. My right foot is fine, but my left foot toes, except for big and pinkie toes splay left. I think it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. I just recently bought a Brooks Ghost extra wide and the shoes are way too big for me overall, but my toes were going numb on the problem foot in my old shoes when I do my walks. The Brooks Ghost is better, but still....... I often wonder if I talked to a foot surgeon if they'd break them and realign them. I had a bunion fixed on that foot 8 years ago and it was fine. I thought that would help and I'm sure it has, but it seems my toes are moving left, if that's even possible.

I wear Brooks Ghost extra wide. They're the only ones my wide feet tolerate. I tried New Balance 860 in extra wide but found they were too cushioned for my feet.
