I have two pairs of the older version of these shoes and love them! The 11th version is just as comfortable. I use them for running half marathons

What can I say? The Ghost is the bomb, and the 11 does not disappoint. It's light and moderately cushiony, but the BEST part for me is the wide toe box. I have a neuroma (a thickening of the tissue around a nerve) between my third and fourth metatarsal bones on my right foot. Running (or even walking) in the wrong shoe can jack that thing up in a heartbeat. Once it's irritated, it burns, tingles, gets numb, and feels like I'm running a roll of pennies. The BEST remedy for me is prevention, so finding a running shoe with a wider toe box - but not a WIDE shoe - is the answer, but can be a challenge. This one is PERFECT. There is zero compression on the ball of my foot, so I can run for days without that nerve getting all irritated. My only complaint about Brooks in general is that they, to me, are not the best-looking shoe, so when they release one with a funky pattern, I'm going for it. I like the pop art pattern and it looks really cool from a top view!

I love these new sneakers!!! Not only are they my new favorite (long distance) running shoes, the style and uniqueness of this sneaker is unrivaled. As for comfort and performance, they are excellent. I am a long distance runner and have been wearing Asics for years, (still love them), but a fellow runner told me to try Brooks and I am not disappointed- super comfortable and light weight, and do not need to be broken in- out of the box and off on a long run. As for size they run slightly bigger, (wider) than Asics- I normally wear a size up in Asics- a 7- bought the 7 regular width in these and my foot slid around too much- 6 1/2 was perfect. As for style- amazing!!! I bought the NYC/26.2 comic/pop art ones and I love them!! I ran the NYC marathon a few years ago and these are the best. Brooks in general does a great job in color selection and style- artsy for a sneaker. Many choices to choose from- I will try their tie-dye ones next!

Bought these for my mom in the black. She wears them to work as she is on her feet everyday. No complaints and she can even go for a walk at lunch!

I ordered a 8.5, which is my usual size but my feet kept slipping forward so I tried the 8. That fits perfectly

These running shoes are so comfortable, it feels like I am running barefoot! Super stylish too. My other running shoes are Altra Impulse, so they complement one another. Highly recommend them for runners!

I had to go up a full size from an 8.5 to a 9.5 with these. The 8.5 Asics that I ordered fit, but I liked these much better and just had to order a larger size. Love the shoe!!!

I had Ghost 10 and felt that it was a good fit, however Ghost 11 same size felt the size was a little wider that the Ghost 10, ordered a size 9 and it was wider in the toe area for a Medium Width. however with thicker socks maybe it will not be so noticeable. Why can't the fit be the same from one to the other. I thought about returning for the9 B for an 8.5 M which is my true fit but in sneakers I go with a 1/2 size larger. So a little disappointed with the toe area being larger. It's a comfortable shoe if you walk/run and the arch support if okay if you don't have issues with your feet, however I changed out the inner sole for Orthotic innersole which I need.
I'd also recommend:
I would recommend the Brooks Ghost 11 but go with your true shoe size because the Ghost 11 is wider

The most comfortable sneaker I’ve ever owned. I wish the colors were better, but no other sneaker compares to the amount of cushioning and support that this shoe has.

These felt good as soon as I tried them on. I had Ghost 10's that I really liked so was dreading being disappointed at a new "model". But I put these on and went and worked out, and they did great. No break in needed. I will probably get Superfeet to go in them tho bc the arch support, as stated, is moderate.

I love these shoes! This was my first pair of Brooks. I normally wear ASICS. Right out of the box the Brooks Ghost 11 were like walking on a cloud. They are so comfortable. It’s like wearing house shoes. Based on the reviews, I did order a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear. I normally wear an 8-1/2 but ordered a 9 and they fit perfect. I’m a new Brooks fan!

I use orthodics and have been having real problems lately getting any shoe that does not bother my feet. I tried the Brooks Ghose II and it is great - so far. I haven't worn it alot but right out of the box, it is wonderful. Especially the cushioning. I had used Asics for years but the narrower toe box is a bad design. I'll be sticking with the Brooks. I truly hope they do any redesigns. These are perfect.

LOVE Brooks! So comfortable and stylish! I bought these for my daughter to wear to work and she loves them. Now buying a pair for myself because the solid black is perfect to wear this winter with leggings.

This is an awesome shoe. It only came in a D width. I was not wide enough for me, having bunions on both feet. I require a ww wide width. Overall, great shoe.
