Try them on before trips
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hate these shoes. They look cute and are good for mountain walking but the fit is so tight. I really should have tried these on before my trip because now I can't return them and am stuck with them. This is the size I have in all my other shoes and the fit is definitely not the same. Now I know try them on as soon as I get them or go get them from a store. 😩

Great shoe, runs small
Love color, fit is almost perfect, BUT runs small and a bit more narrow than my other Brooks shoes. I'll have to return and get the next 1/2 size up.

The tongue is a dealbreaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usually I love Brooks, but unfortunately I am going to have to give these a poor review. My main issue is with the tongue. As others have said, the thin tongue feels thin and cheap. What's worse is that is really long and because of its stiffness, I found it crimping and digging into the front of my ankles in quite a painful way. Perhaps foolishly, I tried to love these and stick with them, but I think that has led to some more lasting ankle pain. Again usually love Brooks, but these were a no-go. Please bring back previous models with the shorter, softer, more conventional tongue!

Improved shoe lace, but too wide!
I LOVED the Catamount 2 and wore them until they fell apart. BEST SHOE EVER. Despite the improved shoe laces on these, the Catamount 4’s are way too wide! My heel slips out and my feet slide around in them. Please bring back the previous fit! Or start offering narrow sizing for your trail runners!! I loved having a trail runner in a cute style and color scheme!!

Sad! going back
I have had and loved all prior Catamounts, but this version hurt my heel after a 30 min break-in walk on the trail. First noticed sock slipping, then the achilles/ankle soreness started. I like a firmer ground feel, but honestly these felt stiff and tight in the forefoot. I can deal with the thin tongue, but agree with other reviewer who said it feels like stiff plastic. Boohoo, Brooks, all my favorites have disappeared from your lineup. Not sure how much longer I can keep my cat 3's going...
