Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 11

I bought the Ghost 11 in size 7B locally in the navy/grey/blue and loved them so decided to buy the pink/aqua color from Zappos. The shoe I received fit 1/2 size smaller. Thinking it was a manufacturing error I ordered another size 7 in the pink/aqua color. The second pair was the same, 1/2 size smaller. I returned both shoes. I was disappointed because I love the fit, style, and comfort of this shoe.

I absolutely love this shoe style. They have been amazing for my over pronation problem and my orthotics fit in them perfectly, but unfortunately have to return this pair as they don’t fit as well as a pair that I purchased d locally a few days ago.

Very good cushioning, yet needs more support for longer runs

Great shoe! Runs very small

I love my Brooks Ghost 10 shoes, and now that I've worn them out, I wanted to replace them with the same shoes. Zappos no longer has the 10s though, so I bought the Ghost 11. I tried them on with my insole and noticed that my ankle slipped in back when I walked. I compared the Ghost 10 to 11 side by side and saw that the back of the 10s come up higher than the 11s. I assume that is why my heel was slipping. Back they go. I'll have to find Ghost 10 shoes somewhere else. On a positive note, I very much appreciate Zappos's easy and convenient return policy.

I have worn my Ghost 10s out and is time for a new pair of shoes for walking. These were okay, but the fit just felt off a little. Not as supportive as I like my sneakers to be, and almost felt like my foot was rolling to the outside when walking. I made adjustments to lacing to increase snugness in the fit, but ultimately they were not good enough to keep. I had ordered a pair of Brooks Launch 6s at the same time, and the fit was so great that it was an easy decision. I may have kept them had I not had the Launch 6s for comparison.

I just found out recently that I am Not an overpronator but rather the opposite! So I'd been wearing the wrong kind of shoes my whole life. This shoe was recommended for people like me who have high arches and need extra padding. This shoe did not disappoint in the comfort area. It's very padded, and I think they are quite attractive. My only issue is that they need more room in the toe box and length. My pinky toe on left foot is rubbing a bit. They are so close to being perfect. ..I hate to trade them in for half a size larger (size 12) but I guess I will. Yikes! That's the biggest size.

I’m a big fan of Brooks Ghost. The 11’s worked well for me last go around so I bought them again. The size is spot on, the colors are vibrant and the shoe wears well. I do have to say that they don’t seem to feel as cushioned as the last pair but they are still a great shoe.

I currently have Ghost 10s but after reading the reviews for Ghost 11s I think I will try the Ghost 12s instead. I really love the 10s so if it is true the 12s are closer to the 10s then 12 it is. I cannot wait to order and will review once I get my new Ghost 12s.

I started wearing the ghost 11 and love it , however I usually wear an 8 and have normal to narrow feet and actually get an 8.5 wide in this shoe which is bazaar as I wear narrow in other shoes. I love the shoes, I also do wear an insole which does take a bit of room.

Feels great. Could use more arch support, but very comfortable, good cushioning. The aqua is really more of a green, and the shoes look a little bit like Christmas. But I like Christmas.

Fit well and that's not easy for me, women's size 10 narrow width. Wish Zappo's carried a few more narrow sizes in all kinds of shoes and boots though...please!

I loved this shoe but it didn't provide the arch support that I needed. I have very high arches and this shoe didn't fit the bill for that. They looked great, they felt like they would be stable enough to prevent rolling of my ankle and there was plenty of toe space. The only reason I sent them back is that I'm still searching for a shoe with higher arch support. I'm likely going to get the Vionic Walker instead. I also normally wear a size 7 and had to get size 7.5 with these and they fit good.

I am a committed loyalist of the Brooks Ghost. I love that this is lighter shoe because it makes me feel fast. However, I don't love the that the toebox is pointier. It's not necessary nor is it the best for feet; as someone who has really wide feet, I appreciate as much room as possible. I always relace my shoes to accommodate my wider feet, and that's worked out fine. Only problem is that compared to the Ghost 10, there's too much loose space at the heel and I have to take extra measures to make sure my heels don't slip when running.

Perfect fit and colors are awesome

These are my first Brooks Ghosts. Before I ordered, I went to a local sporting goods store and tried them on. They were a Ghost 12, and not a color that I wanted, but they felt great! SO much better than other brands I had worn or tried. BUT when these arrived, the just did not fit. I have a high arch, and when I put on even very thin socks, They looked like they didn't wrap around my foot properly, and they felt short. I could actually feel my toe, and I am a pretty true 9.5. I actually went back to the store and tried a wide width, but that was not the problem. The shoes were just too small, all around. Finally I tried a 10 in a Ghost 12, and that did it. So there is a difference between the fit of the Ghost 11 and 12 if you have a high instep, and I would recommend a half size larger. Overall I would say that they are great shoes and worth the effort to get the right size.

I have super wide feet and mortons neuroma - these feel really great on my feet. No foot pain. I always size up for running shoes and I probably could have gone with my real size.

I usually wear a 9.5 in Nike’s, and these fit true to size. The shoes are comfortable, but they only last one season of Cross Country.

I normally wear an 8 in Asics and decided to give Brooks a try. I wore them one day and returned them. It appears they run a tad smaller than Asics. I may try a 1/2 bigger in the future. Overall the quality was good just too tight on my foot!

I read the reviews before buying but really wish I listened to what people are saying and pay the extra $30 and go for the 12. These definitely feel narrower than the 10, while the arch support is great. The toe room is a huge deal for me when running long miles. I almost returned them but gave them to my daughter instead because they fit her narrow feet better.

For the record, I love Brooks!! This style though fits my foot narrow in the toe box. I only wore them in the house, but pretty sure I would have gotten a blister if I'd run in them. Sadly, had to return.

They are not like the Ghost 10's. There is less structure near the toes with the 11's. It seems like my foot rolls forward more, causing my toes to push up against the soft material. Unfortunately, these are not going to work for long runs and are going back.

Cute, but not as cushiony as the adrenaline.

The Ghost 11 is light-weight and the navy color makes my feet look slim. The aqua trim is very pretty. The first thing I noticed was how cushy my heels felt when I put them on. I normally wear an 8.5 in running shoes, and these 8.5 fit fine. While walking around the house, the shoes seemed comfortable, but I thought my forefoot was moving around too much. Unfortunately, I have metatarsalgia and a neuroma, so my foot needs lots of cushioning, but sometimes cushioning makes me feel unstable. Started walking outside and on the treadmill with them, and sure enough, the toes of my left foot started hurting. I still feel too much movement in the forefoot, but will give these more time since I've already tried around 10 pairs of shoes! If the pain doesn't go away soon these shoes will have to go back too. Really hope I can keep these, as they really are nice shoes for "normal" feet.

These shoes are just okay in my opinion. They run about a half size small, and I very rarely order a half size bigger than normal. However, in this case, it is necessary. Also, the toe box is not very wide, I like a wider toe box on my running shoe, so these are likely going back. When it comes to the style, most people aren't in the running shoe business for style, but these are pretty lackluster. Also, the cushioning is not very much. I do like the padding around the tongue and ankle though.
