This is my second pair of Brooks Ghost 7s. I liked the first pair, but it was tough to get past the ugliness of the colors.
These, however, are far better!
I'm the sorry the fit is a bit tighter than my first pair, but I still love them!

These are the most comfortable shoes ever. When I'm wearing them I feel unstoppable but more importantly I feel "cool." I would definitely buy another pair or two.

Wonderful running/walking shoe! In the past when I have done a 5K or 10K, I would end up losing toenails. I've bought larger sizes, changed my socks and nothing changed...until I wore these Brooks shoes. After my most recent 10K I realized my toenails weren't hurting, no blisters under the nails. This was a first. The shoes have great support and are so comfortable. I highly recommend them. For running I buy a full size larger.

I love these shoes! I have pf and fallen arches and they allow me to walk/run every day without a problem. It took me a long time to find a pair that fit and have the support I need but I'm happy as I found it in the Ghost 7.

I love Brooks, especially the Ghost 7. I also love Zappos. I have been shopping with Zappos for several years and have never had a bad experience, even when I have to return something.

Wow! I received these shoes minutes ago, put them on and walked around. The fit is great, size width and arch support are very good but the comfort is freakin' AWSOME!! I've worn ASICS for years, the've always felt good but nothing like this. I think I've had a shoe-gazim.

First time with Brooks after having Saucony for years. New Saucony Guide was running narrower in the toe box which is why I decided to try Brooks and these were a better fit overall! We'll see how they last over time but feeling good in them now.

I bought these shoes because I suffer from plantar fasciitis.these shoes give plenty of support and heel elevation. They are lightweight and comfortable.

I love these shoes just ordered for first time for brooks. I suffer from planter foot in both feet as well as knee pain back pain. I have worked on concrete floors for a long time. I cannot wait to try these out at work. I am wearing around house to break in. I will be ordering more Ghost 7 soon. Thanks for the fast delivery too. Had them in one day.

Suffering with plantar fasciitis, I have consulted with a podiatrist, gotten injections and tried shoe after shoe. I'm so happy with this shoe. Super cute to look at and super supportive. Being a supinator, the solidity of this style is excellent. And I must mention, as always, Zappos is THE BEST!

I had the previous Ghosts - either version 4 or 5 - and I bought these without trying on which I don't usually do, just using the same size/width as my other Ghosts. They fit great although they somehow feel larger in general than my other ones - not in size on my foot, but the shoe's physical size. It doesn't bother me though and as always, I love the arch support of Brooks. The colors on this shoe are amazing - love the saturation.

These shoes are very comfortable. I think they have a comfortable heel bed and the toe bed is wide enough for movement while running but not too large. You will love these shoes!

I absolutely love Brooks for running shoes and these are great! They feel a lot more lightweight than my last pair. Comfortable! I would recommend these!

Keeping this shoe. The bottom is wider than Glycerin, and there is more of a curve to the shoe; like your natural foot. more toe box room than Glycerin. I use my own inserts because of higher arch. Not quite as fancy; but should be ok. Hopefully no rubbing issues, as I will break them in later today.
First pair of Brooks. Asics Nimbus has been all over the place lately, had to try something new.

Not a bad shoe. Color is lovely. Shoe fit software said I would need a 10 in this shoe, because of Asics 10 1/2 from previous model. The 10 is too small. I am keeping the 10 1/2 I ordered though. Not as plush as Glycerin, but fits better. Just enough toe box room. Hopefully will get me through next several months. First pair of Brooks; Asics is making me crazy!

This is my third pair of Brooks GHOST. I look forward to seeing the new color choices each year and choosing which color I will go with. As good as these shoes are, i walk every day and I need to do my feet and knees a favor and replace my Brooks each year.

My go to running shoes. I wish they were a little darker gray but I have 3 differ bet colors and been wearing this style since Ghost 3!! Highly recommend for the neutral runner. I am a personal trainer as well and love them.

This is my go-to running shoe. I need a shoe with a wide toe box, and the Ghost fits the bill. Love the wild colors - running shoes are finally fun! While I say the shoe feels true to size, it's with this caveat...I wear running shoes that are one size up from my regular shoe. So you might want to try a few different sizes until you find the one that feels the best for you.

I was disappointed in the last generation of these, but #7 worked! These seem much easier to walk in and the toe box is almost big enough, toes rub just a bit. Maybe it's my imagination, but the platform seems less wide on the sides, and the toes seem a big snubbed without that pointy length. Much easier to walk in, and just the right amount of padding.

These shoes have been very helpful in maintaining my foot in alignment as I wait to have ankle stabilization surgery. I have to use a custom insert to hold the foot in place and this model accommodates the insert well. I have been unable to wear any other shoes for the last two months and am grateful to have these or I would not be able to use my foot at all. I hope to wear these shoes without the insert after surgery as they provide adequate support for the foot that is stable. I have a wide forefoot and narrow heel and ordered these in an 8W which fits well.

I wear these shoes all day at work, I chase my 4-year old in them and I use them for hiking. My feet and hips are happy. The fit is perfect on my feet with the right support and enough wiggle room for my toes. I love the bright color, I have the blue ones too.

I love these shoes! They're my 2nd pair. I was originally fitted for them at a running store & purchased my 2nd pair through Zappos. I would say I am a seasonal running, living in Maine, I tend to only run April - October. These shoes are true to size but I am on the wider side.

This shoe was recommended to me by the guy at our local specialty shoe store when I stopped in after work one day. He measured my foot and pulled this off the shelf and I tried it on and my feet went, "Aaaahhh!" I had been wearing Skechers Go Walks and my dogs were barking! As soon as I tried these on, my feet stopped hurting...amazing! I've never paid more than $75 for a pair of athletic shoes, but I guess you really do get what you pay for. I'm a convert for life!

This shoe was wider than I'd expect a narrow to be. I'm using an orthotic so it works out. Like having some color choices in my size.
