I've been wearing Brooks Launch. I like the Ghost 11 better. I didn't care for the Ghost 10 so they musts have changed them slightly. The Ghost 11 feels similar to the Launch shoe, but with more cushion and spring. Like all Brooks, they run about 1/2 size smaller then normal running shoes. I have medium arches and they are fine. I got the blue color, and they are much brighter then they look in the photo, so I gave it 4 stars for style. The coral is more like neon and the blue is bright.

This shoe was recommended by my podiatrist for my daughter. The support of the shoe is excellent!

Love the arch support and comfort of this shoe! The wide width only comes in black, navy and white with the hot pink details, so through trial and error I found that a men’s wide one size down is a good fit.

I bought a pair of Brooks Ghost 11 because my podiatrist recommended I wear them, due to me having a big toe joint issue. I found them to be very cushy and comfortable. We take our shoes off in the house, so I bought another pair to wear only inside. They are the only shoes I wear now after having had surgery on my joint. I highly recommend them.

I hadn’t tried brooks running shoes until a friend recommended them. I love the Ghost 11! They are roomy and my toes are not pinched. They actually feel very roomy overall - some people recommended going up a half size, which I initially did, but they were way too big. So I’m wearing my normal size 10. I think they’re good-looking and not frumpy. They keep my foot - especially my heel - in place. Very firm and stable feel when you wear them. Vet happy with them and I highly recommend them!

I love brooks, but the colors recently on the ghost are not my favorite but I had to have a new pair so I settled for white. Regardless these are the best shoes out there!

I ordered a half size larger than I normally wear, which I always do for tennis shoes. I read the reviews where people were saying the shoe ran narrow but I ordered the medium anyway. I should have paid attention to the reviewers. I had to return the shoes and order a wide. I am very satisfied with the new shoes and with the customer service at Zappos.

I love these shoes. I’m a nurse and work 12 plus hours and my feet don’t ache and throb at the end of my shift like with other shoes. Highly recommended.

I really liked the Ghost 10, so I had to try the Ghost 11 and they did not disappoint. There is a little more cushioning than the 10's which is awesome on those long runs.

This shoe is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. It fit perfectly from the moment I tried them on. I stand on my feet all day at my job and they are great. No tired or achy feet and support is great.
I'd also recommend:

Very comfortable shoe. I have a very wide foot so ordered the W in a size up from my regular size and they fit perfectly. I had them on all day today at work, am on my feet all day and they felt great!

I had a professional fit me for these. I normally wear a 9.5 in dress shoes and sandals. He fit me in a 10.5, and they are perfect. I have narrow heels and am wider across the ball of the foot. I did need to have these tinkered with a bit to work with some anatomical foot issues, as I do with virtually every shoe. I have been jogging (2-3 miles 3 times/week) in them for a month now and really like the way they feel; they are light with just the right amount of spring but don't feel too built up. Most recently I wore Saucony, but they just aren't working for me anymore. I also tried the Launch (too flat) and the Adrenaline (too just wrong fitting--felt short and narrow) and they Glycerin (way more running shoe than I need). Not that it matters (right?) but I think the Ghosts are attractive, even in a big size. When I look down at my feet, I don't go "Ugh! Cave woman feet! Ugh!" I saw a much younger lady wearing these in the same color (black/pink/aqua) the other day, and thought they looked quite smart from afar, as well. I like the flat laces -- they don't come undone on me. The shoes are wearing well. I like the Ghosts enough that I'm probably going to order a backup pair.

First, I had read the reviews that these run small and they absolutely do. I normally wear a 9, sometimes a 9 1/2, so I ordered size 9 1/2 in these and ended up having to return them for size 10s. That said, I'm very happy with these so far. I ran 7 miles the second time I wore them and had no issues with any kind of blisters or soreness anywhere. This is my first pair of Brooks running shoes--I've been wearing Hoka One Ones--and I definitely think I'll buy another pair.

I like this shoe! I have to order a size up and wider to accommodate custom orthotics, but these fit perfectly after making that size adjustment and removing the foam insole. I've tried on a lot of shoes since my foot problems have developed (posterior tibial tendon dysfunction), and these felt great right when I put them on. Very soft and comfy inside. Brooks is the shoe most recommended by the guys at the orthotics place that makes my inserts.

This is my second pair of the Ghost. My first were the 10s, and now I have the 11s. For years, I was an "Asics only" runner, as the Asics fit my feet so perfectly. I finally tried the Brooks, after trying on newer models of Asics, that did not have that same old feel. Instant comfort from the Brooks, at least for me! This will be my new "go to" road shoe...at least until they change the fit!

I ordered the wide thinking I would need it but honestly it was my first time ever ordering a wide sized shoe and it’s a little wider that I would like but these shoes are fantastic! Plenty of room for my custom insoles and they have great stability to them!

I usually wear a “B” width. I ordered there in a wide width because I am recovering from bunion surgery on my left foot. If I loosen the left shoe laces and tighten the right, they work well. They are comfortable, but not particularly wide.

This is my 2nd pair of Brooks - my first pair was the Glycerin. The Ghost is far more comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis and my feet swell, especially in hot weather. I wore these shoes for two straight weeks in the theme parks in Orlando in August clocking an average of 20,000 - 25,000 steps per day. Still suffered from swelling, but these sneakers virtually eliminated my foot pain. I highly recommend them. I ordered the solid black in 9W - not as pretty as some sneakers, but who cares what they look like when you can walk 10 plus miles without pain!
