I'm a woman with a wide foot. Sometimes I buy men's wide (one size smaller than I would in women's sizes) because they are a bit wider. This shoe fits great, is very light and comfortable. I love the mesh uppers and the shoe looks fairly nice, for a running shoe. I gave it 4 stars because I was needing a bit more cushioning on the ball of the foot and that is not this shoe's strongest feature. I will keep the show anyway because it does fit nicely and is very stable.

Unfortunately, I have to change my first review. Although the shoes are comfy and stylish in all black, they lasted only 2 months and about 50 miles before delaminating. Zappos customer service is great, but I'm hesitant to purchase another pair of Brooks with the current QC issues.

These are replacing Ghost 10's, which I pretty much wore out. These have quite a similar feel, though they seem to be a tad smaller than my previous pair. On first wear, I was very much aware of the arch support, but after 15-ish miles, it blends right in. I was really glad to find Ghost 11's in stock AND on sale, as I generally don't see the point of upgrading for new features, colors or fabrics. These aren't really that attractive, but that doesn't matter at all to me in running shoes. I find what works and stick with them. These work for me. Hopefully the Ghost 12's will be available from Zappos and on sale when these wear out!
I'd also recommend:

I usually wear a 12 wide or extra wide but with this shoe I had to trade in for a 11.5 extra wide which fit perfectly. Very light and doesn't overheat my feet like most shoes do. So far so good.

Tried multiple running/walking shoes, and these (for me) offer the best fit, comfort level, etc. I'm not much for style...but my wife loves the look too. ;) I'll be putting a lot of miles on these!

The Brooks ghost is my favorite, best fitting, most comfortable sneaker I have ever owned. I have very wide feet and Zappos always has the answer. Brooks has been the only brand for me for years now.

I am 6' 5" and 225 pounds ,have an extra-wide foot with a high arch, and am therefore prone to supination. The Ghost 11's are fantastic for my feet. Very cushy. I've owned several different Brooks models and so far, these are my favorite. They are light and give great support during walking and running.

I’m a nurse and on my feet constantly. Brooks has become my ‘go-to’ sneaker when looking to replace my old used up pair. With Zappos return policy I feel you can’t go wrong. Although each iteration of a shoe, like Ghost, changes slightly I’ve always been happy with most of the Brooks I’ve ordered. A couple time the newest generation has not fit my foot very well but I’ve just returned them and ordered a different style from Zappos. I get 90% of my shoes from Zappos. It’s so easy and convenient. Highly recommend trying this shoe.

Love my shoes. I can wear them all day and my feet still feel good. The only show I will buy in the future. They wear well also.

I LOVE THIS SHOE!!! I own four pairs of them and have the fourth in a box ready for when I need a new pair. The Ghost 12 was a total miss for me, so I returned and went with two more pairs of the 11. Honestly the best running shoe I've worn in 25 years of running.

I LOVE these shoes. I have three pair, 2 regular and 1 GTX. They're the best running/hiking shoes I've ever worn. Please bring back a closer design and ditch the 12s! Thanks, tim

Theres no better feeling shoe; however, the drop is so high, and the front has very little support that every time I ran long distance it made me lose a toe nail. I wish the same shoe had 8mm drop or so. I bought ghost 12, and does not feel as good as 11, however, I ran NYC Marathon and my toes were fine at the end, and I know they wouldnt with ghost 11. Make a ghost 11 with less drop, I will buy it for the rest of my lifeee. 5 stars for my favorite shoe, and I always wanted a pair of the black one, but I had to get to ghost 12, and was too much for me to get ghost 11 also :( anyway, buy this shoe.

I've never worn brooks until I became a nurse. Now for the past two years it's the only brand athletic shoes I wear. The ghost 11's are my go to shoes for everyday wear and work wear. The ghost 11's are good to go out of the box. Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Growing up I played sports all my life. I was constantly going through running shoes constantly and nothing even comes close to the ghost 11's. If you are an avid runner, moderately active individual, or someone who enjoys comfortable shoes - the Ghost 11 is most likely a pair of shoes for you

I have a narrow foot ! Brooks is one of the few companies that recognize that not all feet are the same and they sell shoes to fit. Great fit , great feel ( cushioned but not mushy) . Good for both short to moderate runs ! They have become my go to shoes for running!

I have been wearing Brooks tennis shoes for years and have tried a variety of their styles - The Beast, Adrenalins, and Addictions. Because of the positive Ghost reviews decided to try them for the first time. They fit perfectly out of the box (10 EEEE) and it was easy to switch out the insole for my orthotics. Seem true to size and the usual Brooks quality. Brooks are my every day walking around in shoes and I wear them pretty much year round. I seem to need a replacement about once a year or maybe a little less. So check them out these kicks. And they're on sale - can't beat that!

I loved these shoes but my feet slid walking downhill in them maybe because of the comfortable, flexible toe box. So, I returned the 10s and got 9.5s. The 9.5s were perhaps my most comfortable walking around in wearing out black shoes ever. Not as good for my running as the cushioned HOKAs, but a very comfortable shoe. Unfortunately, I left them at a Hilton, and, like most hotels even though I called right away, they didn't turn up. Now, all the black G11s are gone in my size. So, I'm ordering a less desirable color. Still, I remember those black shoes fondly!

Ok, so this is my first pair of Brooks. I am 6 feet tall and about 210 lbs. I used to be an avid runner and I am working on getting back into it at 35 years of age. I went on a 4 mile walk/run today with my new pair of Ghost 11's and could not be any happier. The fit is true to size and I have wide feet so I ordered the EE's. They are perfect. I have high arches and the support felt pretty good while on the run. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone out there. They feel like walking and running on a cloud and far exceeded my expectations. Also I had Nike's previous to this and it makes those feel like trash.

Love the Ghost 11. I tried the Ghost 12 and was disappointed with the slightly tighter toe box area of the shoe. I was able to buy some more Ghost 11s, which should hold me until the Ghost 13 comes out or I can find another option with a slightly roomier toe box. The Ghost 11 has a luxurious soft cushion feel and has a neutral alignment with good arch support that suits my high arched foot.

I like the shoe because it is a narrow width which many other running shoes do not manufacture. I do feel the shoe runs a half size small. Otherwise I am very happy with the Brooks Ghost 11. This is my second pair and would buy again, but a half size larger.
