I work in healthcare and have tried countless different shoes. Nothing feels better than Brooke's. With standing on feet for 10 hours, my feet/legs feel great at the end of the day.

These Brooks shoes were very comfortable. As a neutral runner, they provide a cushioned and pleasant running experience. I normally wear an 8.5 in running shoes, but I needed a 9 in these. I love the roomy toe box. Also, I really like the design of these shoes. The Black/Sparking Grape/Ceramic is really lovely!

I don't love these as much as the 8 but they are still good shoes. A size 9 would fit my toe better because the binding over the edge of the shoe bothers my toe but going any bigger would have the arch support in the wrong place. Tried heating it up and stretching it.

First time I have ever ordered a 9.5. This shoe is super comfortable with the extra support and padding but a 1/2 larger is must.

These are the best SHOES, never mind running shoes, I have ever worn. I started wearing running shoes in 1980 and wore Brooks on and off, but these Ghosts, the 8 and 9, are the very best.

I just recently purchased these shoes and I love them so much I just logged on to buy a second pair. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get them again and wanted to make sure I had another pair to enjoy after the first pair wears out.
This is my first pair of Brooks, I normally wear Asics. Not only are they incredibly comfortable, but they are SOOO cute. The vibrant pink is wonderful; even cuter than in the picture.

Felt great on one foot but the other shoe was less comfortable and secure on the heel. I was looking specifically for a shoe that was for a narrow heel and this almost worked. I ended up deciding on a Saucony Triumph ISO.

I wear the Brooks Glycerin in a running shoe and bought the Ghost for a walk/work shoe. I wear an orthotic, and it fits great in this shoe. Very comfortable walking shoe. I average 6-10 miles a day walking in mu job, and this shoe works very well for me.

My first pair of Brooks and I like them so far. A little narrow (even the wide) for me, but keeping them anyway. Does make a loud squeaking sound walking around on tile especially coming in from wet weather.

These shoes are fabulous! It's like running on the perfect amount of cushion and support. The comfort is amazing! I always wear a 7.5 but needed to size up to an 8. After reading others' reviews, I can see what they mean about the toe curling up a bit, but it's very slight and doesn't bother me, nor does it take away from the comfort. There is plenty of room in the toe area. They almost feel a little wide (in the toe area). I guess I'm used to shoes squeezing my feet. I highly recommend these shoes. I've been running in them for about 4 weeks. No complaints. Size up though.

I love Brooks running shoes, but they tend to be a little heavy. This is the lightest Brooks shoe I've ever worn - but it also offers the support my flat feet need.

LOVE these shoes! I must admit, it has been WAY too long since I bought a new pair of shoes for walking. The difference is unbelievable! Supportive and comfortable and did I mention supportive? Very happy with this purchase. I ordered my usual size and one half size up. I definitely needed the extra half size. I wear with custom orthopedics and the extra room was needed.

The Ghost 9 were my introduction tot he Brooks brand of running shoes. So many other runners I knew were in love with the brand I just had to give it a shot. After a brief run in the shoes, I can see why they are runners' favorites. The shoe was comfortable from the moment I put my foot in. The cushioning was amazing and my legs and feet just felt great after running in them. The tow box was nice and wide - no pinching or rubbing anywhere. My only complaint is that they are very limited in color choices for wide widths.

These are my favorite brooks shoes! They are sturdy for trail runs with ample cushion to give a little bounce.

I have problem feet (wide, bunions, high instep, skinnier heels, need for deeper toe box and rounded, wide toe--not angle/ curved) --a good shoe is hard to find. After trying on 15 styles/brands, this shoe felt different. So comfortable. Cut properly to avoid pain on top of instep. I have worn them every day since I purchased. The only thing I don't like is that although I was looking for a black walking/travel shoe, I have to settle for a 'racey running shoe' and a white rubber side. I will change the turquoise shoe laces to black which will make it better. And, I doubt they are very waterproof. The mesh fabric on the instep may allow moisture in. I bought the 9.5W--i can usually wear a 9 or a 9.5. This size worked best for me.

I researched women's running shoes for wide feet, and after wearing New Balance for years, decided to try Brooks Ghost 9. This is a great shoe- very comfortable and supportive. I am between sizes and ordered 1/2 size larger (thanks to other reviews) and I'm glad I did. I am happy with my purchase, this shoe is worth the money!

I have used another brand of shoe for 15 years. When my dentist said she runs using Brooks , I decided to try them on my next pair. What a difference. !!

My first pair of brooks, and love them! I will continue wearing brooks! So comfortable. They run about .5 size small so order .5 size up from what you usually wear!

Love these ladies. Been wearing them for about a week now and they fit true to size. Good room in the toe box. If you want a bright pair of shoes they are a good choice.

This is my 4th pair of Brooks. Had Ghost shoes before and loved them. Then switched to Adrenaline. Ghost have better support, especially in the arch. I'm a 8.5 but always get 9.5 for toe room while running and orthotic supports.

I switch back and forth between Asics and these Brooks for running. These have plenty of toe room even with a thicker sock in the winter months. I will continue to purchase the Ghost 9. I love the color options. I purchased the Peacoat color.

Love these, esp compared to GTS 17 which weren't as comfortable in the toe box. These fit like a dream.
