Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 8

I'm a floor nurse with plantar fasciitis, which isn't bugging me too much right now. These are divine. I love them. They feel like they have orthotics in them. I have normal to highish arches, they support and cradle my feet. I used to wear Hokas, which were comfy but maybe too squishy for me and my feet issues, these feel more sustainable and like they will help keep my feet healthy. I am in love.

The Ghost always has perfect support for my high arches. Run true to size and width. I wore them on a hiking trip just a week after breaking them in, and they were perfectly comfortable.

These shoes have transformed my feet. I had surgery for a neuroma but still had a great deal of discomfort. I live in the city so walk 5-7 miles a day. This brand was recommended to me and I am sorry I did not try them sooner. It's like somebody gave me a new pair of feet! They have a large toe box and are extremely padded and supportive. My orthotic fits comfortably and within three days, my throbbing feet no longer hurt. I did go one size up, but the fit is perfect.

This is the first pair of shoes where I didn't have to break them in, no blisters, etc. They are super comfortable and I recommend them highly. I am an avid walker and couldn't be any happier with the shoes.

These Brooks Ghost sneakers are recommended by my podiatrist. I have a bunion on my right foot and find these to be supportive along with my orthotic insert. The prescribed orthotic I have fits in well under the regular shoe insert. You may want to remove the shoe insert if you have a full length orthotic. I ordered a half size larger to accommodate the orthotic. I really like the color combination on these sneakers as they coordinate with a lot of my exercise clothing. I like them so much I keep a pair in FL and another in MD!

Love this shoe. I have bought the Brooks Ghost for about 10 years now and it has never disappointed me. I walk 4+ miles a day and on gravel road. I can put this shoe on and there is comfort at the start.

Great shoes, nice large toe box, so comfortable. I've been buying Asics for years but I'm really impressed with these shoes.

I'm so happy to find these shoes. I've had plantar fasciitis flare up and Achilles Tendinitis and a sprained ankle. These shoes are supportive, I don't need my PowerStep inserts because the ones that came with this shoe are great. I fit these shoes perfectly. They are a little bit hot. At the end of the day, my feet are hot. I love these shoes.

I typically wear a 9 narrow shoe, but have never purchased a narrow athletic shoe before. Wow, what a difference, and I still have to wear Gold Toe Max Spun extra bottom cushion socks because my foot is thin, on-top of being narrow. Lightweight shoe, very comfortable, good moderate support, enough room in toe box, heel slipped very slightly until I used my fatty socks. I used to buy size 8½ regular width shoes for women, use fatty socks and insert an orthotic (Dr. Scholl's or the one from podiatrist). If you truly have a narrow foot, try a narrow shoe. Got the maxspun extra cushion Gold Toe socks at Target, seen them in other stores too, a must if you have narrow feet.

I have been wearing the Brooks Ghost series for a few years now starting with the 6. These are great in terms of appearance and comfort with exception to the fact that they have been giving me blisters on my heels. I don't know if they have a higher back or just stiffer but I am looking forward to wearing them without getting blisters sometime soon. I have had to cycle back and forth between my old Brooks while my ankles heal...

These seem like great shoes -- too bad I can't seem to find a size that fits! I'm usually an 11 in other running shoes, but these 11's are a bit too short & narrow. The 11.5's are much longer with too much fabric that folds and irritates my toes. Ended up returning.

I've been a Saucony fan for almost 30 years but I'm just getting back into running again after being too big to run for a while. The Ghost 8s have excellent stability and cushioning. They remind me of my very first pair of running shoes - Turntec. The toe box isn't as wide as Saucony but I find it still fits comfortably. These are so nice, I'm going to get a second pair for just kicking around in. The Ghost 8 is a great all-purpose shoe. Oh, another thing - it has plastic at the top of the toe. You know where your big toe normally starts poking out of your shoe? They won't with the Ghost 8.

These shoes are very comfortable no problems so far! This is my second pair of Brooks Ghost and I did order a 1/2 size up on my first pair. Ordered the same size on these and they fit the same as the first pair if not better.

Very comfortable shoe. Fits true to size. This is my second pair of Brooks Ghost running shoe and I love them.

I love my Brooks! They have become my favorite walking sneaker. I walk 4 or more miles every day, and feel great every single mile. A keeper for sure.

I do a lot of walking whether for exercise or at work as I am a nurse. These are the most comfortable shoes I gave ever worn. From the first day I wore them they have not hurt my feet.

I love Brooks and these are just what I was looking for. I bought them for my employees so they have good support on their feet.

I have narrow feet and like a moderate arch support and cushioning. Brooks makes narrow width shoes that fit great. I have worn Brooks Ghost in the past and they hold up a long time.

Fits well, supports well, looks great, flatters the foot and leg. Brooks makes a nice shoe--expect to be pleased with these or any other you buy. One ding--the inner half of the sidewall is black, the outer, white. I wish the whole sidewall had been black.

This is my 5 pair of Brooks running shoes. I run 6-10 miles a week; a good shoe is impairative to reduce the impact on your knees. Fit: I have a little bit of a wide foot and an avg. arch. The Brooks have a roomy toe box and fit perfect right out of the box. Customer service is very knowledgable in directing me to these shoes. Also, advise getting 1/2 size bigger for running shoes. Good Advise! I had returned a pair of New Balance and Aspics before trying the Brooks. Zappos has great costumer service! Highly recommend.

I love the fit of these shoes. They provide lots of support for walking. There is a removable arch support so your shoes stay clean. I normally wear a 7½ or 8M and my toes were at the very end. I went with a 8½W. That was perfect!

Love my new Brooks Ghost 8 shoes. Ordered 1/2 size larger and they fit perfectly. Most impressed that my size was available because I wear a ladies AA (narrow). But, most of all, I love Zappos service. Free shipping and arrived in just a couple of days. The best ever service!

I saw this brand of shoe in a health magazine so bought this one. These were very comfortable as soon as I put them on and remain so, providing good support! Plus they look great! What more could you want?!
