I recently purchased these shoes to train for a half marathon and I absolutely love them! I was running in a Nike Free before, but figured I needed a little more support for my first half marathon. The shoes are very lightweight (many others felt too clunky after running in the Frees) and quite comfortable. I have Superfeet insoles for them as well for added support. They are a very well made neutral shoe and I would recommend them to anyone! Plus they are more inexpensive than other brands but I don't feel like I am sacrificing any quality. These are outstanding running shoes!

These are amazing sneakers. I am not a runner and just had hip replacement in 2010 but am an avid walker. You won't want to take this sneaker off. The support and cushioning is terrific. These are my first pair of Brooks and I'm sure they will not be my last. Love the aqua/blueish gray combo.

Wish the Ghost 4 would have worked for me, but the change/reduction in forefoot cushioning and reduced firmness in the heel was a deal breaker. Love the improvements such as the much needed padding to the tongue and collar to the Ghost 4. The Ghost 3 is sadly lacking in padding around the collar, and I had to add a piece of cushioned padding to protect my ankle bones. I also like the loop attached to the tongue to remedy slipping from side to side in the 4. I hope the Ghost 5 will have both the fantastic foot bed/sole of the Ghost 3 and the plush upper of the Ghost 4. That would be the perfect shoe. True to size for Brooks, although the toe is wider on the 4 than the 3.

Love these shoes! I went to a local sore to purchase them and would have paid quite a bit more (+tax). I am a walker, and these shoes are so incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend them to everyone! I usually buy an 11, but found I had to go to an 11-1/2.

I am now a Brooks believer. I began a Couch to 5k with a pair of Nike Shox. Several weeks in, I was having shin pain and figured I was invested enough to purchase a nice pair of running shoes. Lots of research, lots of reviews and lots of searching later: Brooks Ghost 4. They felt broken in from the beginning, my shins thanked me and my first 5k was possible in part by how comfortable these shoes made the training process. There is extra room in the toe area, but I had read this in reviews and it does not feel or look awkward. The green/gray combination is very attractive, I have gotten many compliments. My next pair of running shoes will be Brooks, no doubt.

Midfoot support and turnover on these shoes are excellent. They feel much quicker and supportive than Ghost 3, probably due to the addition of DNA. The arch support is somewhat low for a neutral shoe, but the cushion is excellent. It is not too firm nor too soft. My only complaint is that it is pretty high volume, so even with tightened laces, it feels a little sloppy. The width and length are spot on..

My favorite brand of shoes to run in are Brooks. Great brand and recommend them to everyone I know. I bought the Ghost 4 and love them. Great for people with high arch and great support. I run from anywhere from 3miles to 10 miles in them and have no problems at all. True to size. Comfortable to no extreme. Love them, only down fault is the color of the shoe, Grey, green, and yellow. Not very extreme in color so some may like, but I like extreme colors and neon colors. But this is not an ugly shoe either.

These are the third sneakers that I have ordered from Zappos to accommodate my wide feet, and the first one to fit well and truly comfortably. They provide great support. But they are ugly. Putting them on makes me feel 30 years older. Come on, Brooks, a little style for us splay-footed folks, please?

I haven't purchased a Brooks shoe in a long time and had forgotten how great they feel. Love these shoes and use them for distance walking. They are comfortable, have great support and actually make my size 12 foot look somewhat smaller. They are also good looking and great colors.

I have run/worked out in this shoe for about a month now and am happy with it. The shoe is comfortable, supportive, good arch support. My only complaint is that it is not as lightweight as I was hoping for.

At first these were a little small for the size. I usually wear a 10 and these were a little short. Everything else seems perfect. I will order a bigger size!

These are the second Ghost shoes I have. I walked all over Chicago, New York State and Rhode Island in the last weeks and they were fabulously comfortable all day long. Will buy them again.

The heel fits like a glove but toe box is just a little small. I bought a 1/2 size up. A full size up is too big.

Very comfortable. I ordered 3 pairs to try and these were the ones I chose. The last pair of narrow shoes I ordered weren't all that narrow, but these feel great on my feet. I was having some knee pain due to underpronation and these have helped me to keep my foot in a better position during running. My knee pain has decreased overall.

These shoes are really comfortable, and they added a second eyelet for the shoelace on the tongue of the shoe that helps keep it in place better. They fit a little smaller, so I ordered a 1/2 size up (on my second pair).

Comfy but roomy. I don't mind the extra space, but I'm used to Sauconys, and these feel wider.

Been a Brooks fan for a couple of years now. This shoe is super comfortable. Takes a little getting used to after running in Adrenalines (didn't need that kind of stability after all). Brooks is definitely making their shoes a bit smaller now though, so I had to order a half size up. Glad I tried them on in a store before purchasing online. Wish there were more color options though.
