I really like my new shoes. I have narrow feet and the narrow size fits very well. I did have to size up a 1/2 size. Nice shoe.

These are the most comfortable sneakers that I have ever had. I had two foot surgeries, so finding the right sneaker has been very difficult. I love these and would never purchase anything else. They have the support that my feet need. I absolutely love these!

I haven't tried the Ghost series until now and so far I really like them. They fit nice and snug across the arch to help my planter fasciitis but still give room in the toe box for my neuromas. I always order one size larger on Brooks and these fit like a glove!

This was my first order from Zappos. My shoes were shipped and arrived promptly. The packaging was excellent- the original shoe box inside a larger box. The shoes are very comfortable and light weight. I am not a runner so I wear these for every day and another pair in another color for work where I am on my feet quite a bit. The color is a nice light color. I had already tried on the same model at a store to find my size.

All I can think of to say is that I love these shoes. The color is very nice. It has a lot of support but not too bulky. My feet feel great in them. I had to order the wide as the regular width felt a little snug.

I love these shoes! This is my 5th or 6th pair of Brooks Ghosts! I have tried other styles but I always return to my tried and true! They are light, hold up well, and have great arch support. I always order a half size bigger than my usual size. I always wear an 8 but in Ghosts I wear an 8.5.

I just ordered another pair. I walk at least 5-6 miles a day and these are the most comfortable shoes for me. I don't ever want to be without an extra pair. I used to wear New Balance but since I've found these I like them so much better!

This Shoe offers maximum STABILITY for the neutral foot. No chance of ankle wobbles. I returned because I need ULTIMATE cushioning so I ended up purchasing SAUCONY TRIUMPH!

I have been buying the Brooks Ghost line of shoes now for years and they just work so well for me. I have very small but very wide feet and this shoes give me the width I need without them falling off my feet. I imagine for someone with a "normal" foot they may run a little small and a little wide.

I used to get shin splints and a couple of friends of mine told me about these and so I try them and no more shin splints. I'm still not running a whole lot maybe a mile mile and a half every other day but I couldn't even do that in my Asics so I love them and would buy it again.

I love this shoe! I suffered a severe ankle injury a few years ago and was left with a leg full of hardware. I went to a running store and was fitted for sneakers that ended up being nothing but trouble. I found that the Ghost 8 is a neutral shoe and decided to give it a try. My comfort level is night and day different and nearly all of my ankle pain was relieved. This is actually my 2nd pair of Ghost 8's; I use the first strictly for the gym and bought this pair to have just for running around in on the weekends. Brooks shoe colors tend to be a little over the top for my taste, but these are relatively subdued and I like them a lot.

I love these shoes! I have plantar fasciitis and the support in these are wonderful. They actually feel like your feet are getting a big hug from these shoes. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Extremely comfortable, especially if you have a wider foot. I stand all day and these have helped to relieve the ache in my back.

I'm a walker, 25+ miles per week, with high arches and wide feet. The 10.5 wide fit perfectly. The Ghost 8 is supportive while still being flexible. Like these so much I ordered a 2nd pair!

I went from Ghost 6 to this Ghost 8 - it's the only shoe that's comfortable to run in for me. I have wide feet and these fit well. I wear 8 street shoe but 9 in these.

I absolutely love these shoes! I have been a runner for 19 years and bounced around from different companies that I could not always count on. I found Brooks a couple of years ago and never looked back. I run five miles a day and did not need to break these in. But I never do with Brooks. These shoes have just enough support, cushion and are breathable. I had to return the first pair only because I forgot to go up half a size (which you should do in all running shoes anyway) but the return process was really easy and I could not be happier. The only thing that I did not like is that they did not have them in my size in other colors. The silver is OK, but would have liked the option of choosing one of the other style choices, that being said they are still pretty cute. I highly recommend them!

I been using Brooks Ghost running shoes for several years, from #3 to #8. This may be the best fitting version yet for my long, narrow feet! I never have to worry about breaking these in, just put them on and go. They do run shorter than my street shoes. I wear a 10N in street shoes, but need 11.5N in these. Probably a half size of that is because I wear padded running socks. So I'm marking that it feels smaller, but I know what size I need in this.

I can't believe I have never owned a pair of Brooks until now. They are so comfortable and I didn't even have to break them in! I went for a 5 mile jog right away and no blisters or sore feet! Love these shoes, and they are very true to size. I don't think I'll ever run in anything else from now on...and the color schemes are super cool!

They are a little narrower than my Ghost 5 shoes, I had to get a wide width instead of a medium, but that is my only complaint about these shoes. They are so comfortable I own a pair for work and use my 5's for the gym. These are some of the only shoes that I can wear that won't give me incredibly sore feet by the end of the day, and I'm on my feet a lot at work. Love them!

Just purchased my 5th pair of Brooks and they did NOT disappoint. I'm always hesitant about my first run with a new pair of sneaks, but Brooks never disappoint. They are so comfortable from the start - never need time to adjust. They are light and have just the right support I need.
