I bought these for my husband. He has a very active job. He's on his feet all day and logs between 9-13 miles a day. He is very happy with Brooks! Pay the extra money for them.. They're worth it!

Brooks has done a really good job with the Ghost line of shoes, very comfortable and good style. I have the Ghost 10's also, I need a wider toe box and the 2E fit fine. With the Ghost 11's I needed to go up to 4E for the toe box width, 2E was too tight.

Excellent shoe - the Ghost 10, improved. Received them and immediately went for a run in them.

This shoe looks and feels great. Very cushioned, perfect fit, especially in the toe box. I love the neutral color options. I have purchased a lot of running shoes and this one is my favorite to date.
Buy true to size.

I tried on both the Ghost 10 and Ghost 11's...and these felt superior. Better cushioning in heel and better fit.

Reviewed at Brooks Running
this is my 2nd pair of ghosts and i am disappointed in the quality of the upper shoe materials. i wear them 3-4 days a week at work and occasionally when going to the gym (with very minimal running) and already have tearing in the collar after only a month. i had the exact same tears in both shoes of my first pair of ghosts as well. I've never had this problem with any other shoe when i previously was running more frequently. the sole of the shoe was comfortable but seemed to outlast the quality of the other materials.

Theses shoes fit well but I don’t think they provide the overall support as other Brooks shoes I’ve had in the past. Decent for runners who supinate but I ultimately returned them in favor of the Nike Vomero which I felt offered better arch support and overall quality

Brooks is one of few companies that make a truly wide shoe. My husband loves them.

Sizing was smaller than expected. Ordered a narrow, which seemed to be a true narrow. I would have exchanged this for a half size larger, but the heelcup felt too low to hold my foot, so I returned it.

This is my third pair of Brooks Ghost. I wear Men's Ghost because my podiatrist recommended a wider toe box for different issues I have with my feet. I have loved each pair of Ghost tennis shoes I have had. I didn't give this pair five stars because they squeak terribly when I walk. I don't know why they squeak, but both shoes squeak. I can even hear them with my headphones on. Thankfully I live in the country and there is no one to hear them but me. If I was working out in public, I would probably return them as they would be super annoying to those around me.

This shoe is my favorite running/walking shoe. There may be better athletic shoes, but I don’t have patience to try on a wide range of shoes. My shoe size is 9 plus, but I need a 10 to keep bruising my toes. I have been buying Brooks Ghost for many years and will likely continue to do so if they hold to the quality I’ve come to expect. Zappos is great. The normal guy hates shopping; they have made shopping for shoes a snap.

I used to run in Brooks Ghosts years ago and loved them. Putting these on they had the nice soft feel I remember. The problem with these, as well as other brands lately, is the wides seem to being cut more narrow in the toe box. My big toe on both shoes pushed out the side of the shoe and overlapped the sole. It is probably something I could eventually live with however I am returning them because I figure after my feet swell it will only get worse. For people with narrower feet I think these would be a great everyday running shoe.
I'd also recommend:
Nike, New Balance

I have fairly narrow feet, so I ordered a B width. They seem to fit pretty well. Maybe still a little wider than my foot across the ball of my foot, but not so bad that I'd return them - especially since they don't come any narrower.
I'm not a runner, but I walk a bit, and I find these shoes very comfortable and light. I wear them to and from work, where I have to wear steel toes. It's a pleasure to put these on at the end of the day when I go home. The arch support is noticeable, in a good way, compared to other shoes I own.
I would recommend these shoes.

I loved the design and fit. But the narrow width is too narrow.

I have been a long time ghost wearer. I actually had to go up a full size and buy mens this time around (always wore a 9 womens, but finally settled on a 8 mens). Not sure what changed in the shoe but the toe box was not as wide ad has been and just seems smaller. Ive heard of several others that have had to buy up also. I'm still a huge fan of ghost, they are very comfortable just wish they had not changed from the 10 to 11

Purchased on recommendation from podiatrist. Lived up to reputation as good, well-made shoe that can be worn all the time and that provides necessary support. Pleased with them, my first Brooks after many years as Asics fan.
I'd also recommend:
Asics

I am always iffy to buy shoes online, and it doesn't help that a lot of reviews can be doctored or fabricated for sales purposes. So I reached out to a group of runners, and gathered a lot of opinions and thoughts and recommendations. This shoe won out among all the chatter. I can say I am not disappointed. In fact, pleasantly surprised. I have put on about 50miles in them, and they are holding up strong. The break in seemed natural without any associated pain, that I can think of. I am happy with this purchase.

I buy this exact shoe about every 4-5 weeks, and it proves quite nice. I run 5-7 miles daily, and it lasts me around a month, which is decent.

Have been wearing the Glycerin since the Glycerin 13 and now use the Glycerin 17 in 10.5EE. Bought the Ghost 11 in 10.5EE for normal walk around activities and day-to-day use. Had to return because my toes felt cramped with the 10.5EE. I was going to exchange for the 10.5 4E, but I felt the shoe didn't offer the arch support of the Glycerin and didn't feel comfortable when running. I'm sure the 4E would have worked size wise. Perhaps I'm just spoiled with the Glycerin and there is no turning back. I imagine the Ghost is an amazing shoe for feet that don't have very high arches.

It took three pairs to get these right but the fit is great. Comfortable fit. Best to try going up a size.
