Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 7

I am a supinator/underpronator. I also have extremely high arches. I researched a ton before ordering the Asics Gel Cumulus. They ran way too small so I finally ordered Brooks Ghost 7 instead. From the moment I put them on, they were so comfortable. They fit perfectly. There is a lot of cushioning and padding, which I need. My custom orthotics even fit nicely. My only issue is I wish there were more color selections. I am a female that wears 12W. I only had one color choice. I would have liked a black and pink option, something more feminine. It is so difficult to find shoes to fit my feet. I wish shoe companies could make more options for people like me. I was lucky to even find this in my size. Often, I have to get men's shoes and even some of those have few selections. It seems shoe companies only give the gaudiest color choices for the larger sizes.When you already have feet the size of Bozo, the last thing you want is to draw attention to them with clown colors or white.

These shoes were recommended by my Podiatrist for a bunion . He said these were the best available at the time to his knowledge for walking with foot problems. He was right. I bought another pair immediately for fear Brooks would discontinue them. I may buy a third pair. Enough said!

Being somewhat hard to fit (11 2A) and having sensitive feet, buying shoes is torture for me. I ordered three Brooks styles and three Sauconys at one time. My current shoe I'm replacing is the Brooks Ghost 5 and I previously owned the Ghost 3. I ordered both the Ghost 6 and 7 and am keeping this Ghost 7 and returning the other five pair. Compared to the Ghost 6 the heel feels slightly deeper, though isn't rubbing my ankles. I'm hoping this will keep my sock from being pulled off my heel. The toebox seems deeper and a bit wider. Due to my narrow foot, when I tighten the laces I do have a very slight bunching appearance across the top of the toebox but I don't mind. My heel placement improves my body posture and that's one of my favorite things about the shoe. I wear orthotics and they fit well in this shoe but I almost think I'll be able to go without them which is very exciting! The cushioning in this shoe is very nice and I think I can wear it for hours and my feet won't be screaming to take them off which is how I usually feel in my Ghost 5 with orthotics.

I have been running in the Ghost 6 size 8.5 N for the past year. I loved the shoe, except for the fact it would need replacing every three months. I have tried the Ghost 7 in an 8.5 M width and can tell you, this shoe is very different from its predecessor. It lacks the medial stability from the previous model. It runs more narrow and a half a size longer. I found the shoe to feel more like the mizuno wave rider than the previous brooks ghost. Shoe caused my angles and knees to hurt too much, going back to Zappos. :(

First of all, Zappos is amazing! I ordered 2 pairs of shoes on last Thursday at 7 p.m. and had them in my hands the next day before 6 p.m. Loved these shoes right out of the box. After a freak fall a couple of years ago I have multiple foot issues (neuroma & an injury to the joint in my big toe)and tears in my achilles. I have tried multiple brands and so far these are the most amazing. The mesh uppers have just enough give to not put pressure on my joint and they are super cushioned and comfortable. I only wish they offered a black version that might be a little less flashy in color so I could wear them to work. Being a 6ft. tall woman and having gone from a size 10 for my whole life to a 12 since my injuries I prefer something that doesn't draw as much attention to my giganto feet.

I've been a long time Asics wearer, but these Ghost 7s by Brooks may make me convert. I had a pair of Ravennas a few years back, but those hurt my feet...then I realized those weren't made for my foot. I have a neutral pronation and my feet aren't flat, although I do like a good arch support. For the last 6 months, I've been suffering with plantar fasciitis and it stinks! My poor left heel has felt like I'm walking on glass and, as a result, I've overcompensated with my right foot. I read a review of the Ghost 7 that they had great cushioning and were recommended for my condition. All I can say is I love them! I'm a music teacher, so am on my feet a lot singing, playing and dancing. I really need this shoe in every color and wish Brooks made dress shoes now!

I was looking for a shoe in the "neutral" category which was recommended to me by my physical therapist. She suggested Brooks, New Balance, and one other. Thankfully, at Zappos I found several to choose from in my size - 11-1/2 M. I picked these Brooks because they were the most comfortable and had ample padding in the foot bed. I don't run but I do a lot of exercise walking.

These are an extremely comfortable stable shoe. I have bone/bunion problems and I don't feel a thing in these. Very supportive too.

Brooks Ghost 7 are by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I am on my feet all day for at least 50 hours a week and these shoes save my legs, my back and my feet!

I wear these shoes for work. I am on my feet the entire time at work and these shoes provide me with the best comfort. I wished Brooks would tone down their color on the shoes. The color of this pair of shoes are acceptable for me to wear at work.

I've been running for a few years now and had gotten fitted by a running store to the Asics Gel Nimbus (I think it was the 11, but I kept with the series). I'm a neutral runner with slightly wider feet, and suffered from two bruised toenails after my first half marathon with the Nimbus (at which point I went up half a size), but continued to get blisters between my pinky and fourth toes (despite going up to the wider shoe as well). The Nimbus is a great shoe with lots of cushion though, I'd definitely still get them to walk around in (just not for long distance running). After much frustration, and as I was about to kick off training for my first marathon, I went back to a running store and got refitted to the Ghost 7. It has changed my (running) life! My feet are SO much happier - no more painful blisters. Highly recommend the Ghost 7! (Note I have no previous experience with the earlier models, but the 7 has worked perfectly for me. I'm on my second pair already (~500 miles run with the Ghost so far) and ordering my third today to start breaking in.

I have worn the Ghost 5 and 6, replacing every 3-5 months depending on how much I'm running. Bought the 7 in my usual 9.5 2A. hits right at the bottom of my ankle which is bothersome and blisters my pinky toe.. would return if I could. Will go back to the ghost 6.

3 pair of Brooks and I love them! I love the color, the shoes have a different pattern.

Love these shoes! They are bright and I tend to have fitting issues because of my wide foot and have had none so far with these! I think they are a great walking and running shoe.

These shoes feel like heaven! I purchased 3 different pairs of running shoes from Zappos after researching online. My Nike Free's are just lacking in the support/cushion area when it comes to running on a treadmill. A few friends recommended Brooks - and now I'm a believer! It's like walking on clouds. I get excited to put them on every day for my run, and I picked the super cute Beetroot Purple/Black/Silver color. They are adorable. I was actually able to go down 1/2-1 size. I'm normally a 9 1/2-10 and was able to comfortably order and wear a 9. Us big footed ladies love when this happens to us! Also, with this being last year's "model," they are much cheaper than the Brooks Ghost 8! Another win! You must buy a pair to try!

I bought the Ghost7 kaleidoscope when it first came out. I have run close to 300 miles already in them and just purchased my 2nd pair. They fit perfectly to my foot, cushioned just enough and the toe seems bigger than my white and fuchsia Brooks7. I am a Brooks girl with a love for the Ghost7's. Thanks for making the best running partner.

I have worn Asics for many years. I experienced a lot of foot, ankle and leg pain by the end of most days. A well known retailer in our area fits athletic shoes. I was fitted for the correct shoe; he suggested Brooks. The Ghost 7 is my first pair. He also suggested Brooks Adrenalin. I am impressed. After only three days of wearing Brooks, a lot of my discomfort has disappeared. The shoes have more support and stability than any shoes that I have worn so far. I give Brooks athletic shoes five stars!

Shoes are pink & orange; fun, energizing. I even where them with orange-red dresses, skirts and look cute. Hugs the foot. Nice feeling of support from concrete surfaces.

These are the 3rd pair of Ghost 7 shoes I have purchased. Love these running shoes and now that I can purchase them at a great savings Zappos is my go to shoe place.

I'm a supinator and did moderate research for new shoes. I haven't worn Brooks in a few years, been wearing NB and even a Ryka pair for 4 years. I decided very quickly to get new shoes, as I felt my current running shoes were aggravating a recurring ankle injury. I got them within 24 hours (always 5 stars for that!) and took them out on a short run today. I've been barely running at all and when I have I've felt twinges or slight pain in my ankle signaling that the injury could get worse. I had no twinges or pain after my run this morning. So, yay! The toe box is wider than average, but that works for me. The rest of the shoes was very secure after I tightened my laces to where/how I like them. The cushioning felt great. I was coming from a "flatter" shoe, so more cushioning in the heel felt a little strange at first, but it felt really good while running. I normally wear a 6.5 in street shoes, but always need a bigger size in running shoes, regardless of the brand. A 7.5 was perfect in this one. If I continue to like these shoes, I will definitely buy a 2nd pair.

These fit just as nice as the Ghost 6. I wear a size 8.5, but always order a 9.5 in running shoes.

I have narrow feet and generally have a hard time finding athletic shoes. I ordered the 8N and it was a perfect fit and was comfortable right out of the box. These are great walking shoes.

Great sneakers. I have chronic heel pain and these help a lot. They also carry wide sneakers that look stylish. Thumbs up! I will order again.

These are the 3rd pair of Brooks I have purchased. I came back to Brooks after trying Saucony & New Balance. Brooks always the most comfortable. Light & comfortable.

Didn't think I would like these, but I think they are my new favorite sneaker. I have a narrow heel, but need room in the toe box. I would never have considered buying a narrow size, but so glad I did. Fits perfectly in the heel and plenty roomy in the toe box. I was previously wearing the Asics Kayano 20. Wasn't a fan, they weren't uncomfortable, they just weren't the best fit. Arch support is okay, I have plantar fasciitis, so I always need little extra support in my arch. All in all a pretty good shoe. I don't do any running, but I like how lightweight these are.
