I loooove my new hot pink Ghosts this year!! I have worn Brooks Ghost or Glycerin for several years now and they always work well for me. I will say that if you want a more cushioned feel, you will get a bit more of that with Glycerin. I was used to running in Glycerin last year, and with this new pair of Ghosts, the soles felt a little hard to me at first in comparison. It's totally a matter of preference as some people prefer the slightly more bouncy Ghosts. I have been running every day, so I actually decided to get a pair of Glycerines too so I have options. I have to say, though, in my opinion the Ghosts really come in a lot better colors than the Glycerines this year.

I wore these for the first time this week to work. I had to facilitate a 7 hour workshop so I was on my feet the whole day. These shoes were comfy from the minute I put them on! I've been struggling with plantar fasciitis for about a year and when I researched good shoes for my condition, Brooks Ghost turned up in the feed. I've work the Ghost shoe over the years, but this one feels light and super comfy, even with my sensitive fee. I will they would offer some different color schemes. I have the grey and aqua blue and they are okay. So I'm back in the Brooks family and I couldn't be happier.

These shoes are great, very comfortable for my flat, narrow feet with bunions. I'm feeling much happier about running. The shoes are very light weight yet still supportive. I wear a narrow width (2A) but still have lots of room in the toe area so doesn't pinch bunions.

I initially purchased a size 8 which is my normal size in a running shoe but they were a bit too short. My toes touched the very front of the shoe. A half-size larger was perfect. Because of a pronounced bunion on my left foot I purchased the wide width and it allowed enough room for complete comfort. They are light weight and my feet feel stable in them. I look forward to wearing them on a trip where I will be doing much walking. The black ones will be perfect for my trip because I do not plan to take extra shoes to match different outfits and will probably even wear them to the theater in the evening.

I am a habitual Ghost purchaser for a reason. Always a consistently exceptional shoe. The all-black was a perfect addition to my collection. I’m pregnant and working in a professional setting. I can get away with these at work with black pants. Then on the weekends, I can run around with them.

These are really great feeling and fitting shoes. They are comfortable right out of the box. This is my second pair of Brooks Ghost, I live in running shoes but I do not run although I think they would be great for that too.

I ordered these and the Glycerin 16 to compare, to replace my Ghost 6 shoes, which I LOVED. I had the Ghost 6 in a 9, but I found the Ghost 11 in a 9 to be way too small, so I ordered the 9.5, which were perfect. I ordered a wide in both, as I need a wide toe box due to bunions. The Ghosts felt way too roomy when I first put them on, but after a 30-minute run my feet felt great. The Glycerins felt great when I first put them on, but after about 20 minutes I started feeling blister pain in my left foot. I tried them both a few times and every time it was the same, so I'm afraid the Glycerins will be going back, which is a shame, because they're awfully cute! The Ghosts, with a slightly wider toe box, just fit me better.

The Brooks Ghost 11 helped improve my plantar fasciitis and heel pain. I immediately bought a second pair.

I had tried on the shoes in a store but ordered from Zappos because the color options. I ordered on Saturday afternoon and they were delivered on Monday (which happened to be a holiday)! Great customer service!

I wear a 10 in Asics because you are supposed to a half size up... but usually wear 9 1/2 in most shoes. In Brooks Ghost 11 I had to go up a 1/2 size too. Glad I ordered two sizes ... one is going back. Overall love the colors ! Comfty !

I wear a 9.5 in closed shoes but in brooks sneakers I always wear a size 10. My toe pushes up to the front of the shoe at 9.5 without any extra room. So i would recommend ordering a 1/2 size up. I walk 4-5 miles daily and these shoes are comfortable with good arch support and excellent shock absorption. Highly recommand.

These are the absolute best shoes I have ever had on my feet. They felt like a hundred fat little dead baby angels messaging my feet the whole time I wear them.

Been wearing Brooks Ghost 9, Ghost 10, and now Ghost 11. The Ghost 11 is the best of all of them. They have the best support of all. And they seem to have more toe room.

I love my Ghost 10s. But the heel on the 11s is way too low. I have very narrow heels, and it kept slipping. Plus, the colors are just hideous. I plan to try the Ghost 12s if I can find one in a decent color.

I wanted these shoes to work for me so so badly!! I love the colors, and I love that they are relatively neutral in the step. Lots of reviews said this had a relatively wide toe box even in the medium width. The actual wide width wasn't available in the size/color i wanted, so i tried the medium width. I have slight bunions starting out, but usually wear a medium width anyway. The toe box in the medium width was just slightly too narrow for me, I could see my bunion friends poking out from the shoe material and they started to ache a little bit after walking around my house in them. I'm super bummed since these shoes are otherwise comfy and cool looking. I just know that after running any distance my feet would be wrecked. I signed up for alerts on the wide version in the color i like, so fingers crossed you get more in stock!

I liked the feel of these shoes but I ended up going with the New Balance Fresh Foam Beacon instead. I have a wide foot and the midfoot in these was just a little too narrow, even in a wide size.

I previously had the Ghost 9 and it fit perfectly. I was a little apprehensive when I first got these as they appeared much wider. The toe box is definitely more roomy. Then I got the 30 day Runlimited Guarantee so I went outside for a long walk. Now I know they are fabulous! Thank you Zappos for the ability to test walk them. Without this I may have sent them back. Once again Zappos outdoes any other online site for customer service. Why buy anywhere else????

I loved these shoes. I usually wear an 8 regular for all my tennis shoes, but I had to go down to 7.5 wide in order to get the best fit.

I love Brooks Ghost 11. I ordered these so I could have a second pair. The fabric looked lighter and more like cloth. When they arrived, it is heavier and a little stiffer. That may not matter to some. I will stick with the other type. I'll order another pair in the original fabric. They are great
