These are so comfortable and did I mention cute?!! I get compliments on them all the time but they are super comfortable which is what is most important to me now at 37, I do however love style and comfort.

The most comfortable, supportive shoes I've owned. I normally wear women's 9 but took advice of other reviewers and bought size 9 1/2 which are a perfect fit.

These are very comfortable walking shoes for someone who walks about 20 miles a week. I usually wear a narrow size and this style has one color per season that I can get in a narrow. Wish I had more color choice, but happy to find a well-fitting athletic shoe in a narrow.

I purchased and returned 4 pairs of running shoes from various vendors for various fit issues and finally found the perfect shoe at Zappos. The Brooks Ghost 8 are oh so comfortable and the ebony/metallic color (animal print) is really stylish and gets lots of complements. Perfect! I love Zappos free shipping and return policies.

This show is cute and supportive. But it does not run as small as the prior reviews said it does. I normally wear a 10.5 Wide in a Brooks running shoe so I sized up to the 11 and it was too big. I've since tried the 10.5 and it fits right.

Love them! This is a high quality show. In my humble opinion, a better value for the cost then other brands. I wear a AA running show which makes selection challenging. have bought New Balance in the past, but feel this show is a better value for the same dollars. Also...can't beat Zappos' free shipping and service.

Brooks Ghost has been my shoes for years, it also comes in wide although the wide has only 1 color choice. It a great shoe. This shoe is more for comfort, if you need more arch support, there is another Brooks for that, different needs but same brand of shoes.

This is my favorite running shoe! I also wear it to work--survive many hours on my feet in a busy hospital in them. I order up a half size larger than I usually wear. Have already received many compliments on the new pair!

These Brooks Ghost 8s are my go-to running shoes. They have a wide toe box, which I need. Great neutral shoe if that's what you run in. You will get a good six months out of these shoes, maybe more, depending on how much you run. As with most running shoes, you need to go a full shoe size up.

This is my second pair of the Ghost 8. I run about 100+ miles a month and these work great for me. I buy 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size so I don't have toenail issues. They are comfortable, cushy and I get good mileage out of them.

I previously bought a pair of Dansko tennis shoes. I was very disappointed with the support and the sole of the shoe. Plus for the cost I better love shoes! I exchanged them for my first pair of Brooks. The support and comfort are just what I wanted!

The most comfy sneakers I have ever worn. I love the Brooks Ghost, and these are the best yet. I don't know why there can't be a more varied color selection in wide width though, since most women I know get wide to give our toes and feet room to expand.

Because of a knee issue, I have always worn Brooks, but when I developed Plantar Fasciitis, I had to switch styles. These were recommended by my foot doctor. Love them. Extremely comfortable.

I have not run much in these, but they seem good and comfortable. I ran in the Ghost 6 for awhile, but I have narrow feet and they did not fit snug enough to run in. Other than that I really liked them. So I thought that I would try these hoping that they would fit better and it seems like they do. These Ghost 8 look wide,but somehow they fit comfortably.

Beautiful sneaker with outstanding cushion and support as one would expect from a Brooks sneaker. I am a 9.5 and find they are true to size. I have a narrow foot and find the medium width cups my heel perfectly and the toe box isn't too big. The colors are beautiful, the logo is a chrome-like silver. The heel and the toe have ample cushion and is the sole is very stable. A real gem!

Looove this shoe! Great stability AND cushioning! These two qualities can be hard to find in a running shoe. Oftentimes if he shoe has stability features it is hard as a brick. This one feels like I am running on a cloud and yet supports my foot so that I don't supinate as badly. I won't own another shoe until they quit making the Ghost 8. Then I pray the 9 is just as good! Give this one a try!

After a lot of trial and error I have finally found the shoes for my feet. After 20 years of walking the hospital floors while nursing my feet have become extremely sore and arthritic. Brooks Ghost 8 is the answer for my feet. They provide great support, are firm yet cushy. For the first time in years my feet do not hurt during or at the end of my shift. I like them so much that I bought two more pairs. Now I live in these shoes. I pray that they do not stop making these shoes because I will be a lifer. I tried other Brooks tennis shoes and returned them because they were not comfortable for my feet. I have high arches, arthritic feet. Wear a size 9½ normally but wear size 10 with the Ghost. And I embrace the bright colors to show off my happy feet but I would recommend they add a couple mellower colors for those who want a more subtle look.

These are like walking on personal clouds for your feet, I am a healthcare worker and walk between 5 and 15 miles everyday and these shoes make it tolerable for my feet! I would recommend these to anyone who spends any time on their feet, you will not be disappointed!

As soon as I put these on, my feet started to sing which was alarming and yet satisfying. I am not a runner (unless I need to run), have arthritis in my feet and these have made me feel like I just crossed a finish line in first place. Ordered a 1/2 size up from usual and am glad I did.

Incredibly comfortable shoe! Lots of support and cushioning. Really nice stability. So excited because just wearing it around the house makes my knee hurt less. Can't wait to take it for a test-run.

As someone who has plantar fasciitis these shoes are absolutely wonderful. LOVE them! Go with other reviews and buy a half size up. I didn't and had to reorder.

These are my 5th Ghosts. It is true that the fit to this one is a little different but, despite my horrible bunions, the shoes are still very comfortable for running! They actually look cuter than in the picture.
