My second pair of "Ghost" shoes. They are lightweight and feel so comfortable. They do slip a little bit at the heel, but not as bad as any of the others, so if you need a narrow shoe, these might be the ones for you. I just wish they had different colors for my size 11.5 AA feet.

I work 12 hr shifts on concrete floors and my recent pair of shoes were giving me so much pain in my feet and lower back. I've been wearing these shoes for 4 shifts now and they were much more comfortable than my previous pair.
I really enjoy the cushioning on the heel and the toe width. I have a hard time finding sneakers that fit wide feet but these were wonderful and didnt hurt.
I hope they last me a while and restock the purple ones as those were what I wanted. But I ended up getting the teal pair and I get compliments at work on them.

it might be my feet but this rubbed on my toes (right foot only). I liked the comfort but it did not support my arches enough. Sadly I had to return for a pair with a bigger toe box.

I have another pair, which feels great. It was recommended by my podiatrist because of the wide toe box and narrow heel. Very light weight.
I'd also recommend:
Saucony also has a narrow heel and wide enough toe box.

These are comfortable and true to size (2A). The foam sole is wide and stable. Too wide for my taste. I bought 6 pairs and returned 5. I did not keep these because I prefer a simpler running shoe with narrower sole and more subdued colors - there aren't a lot of good options in the narrower shoes so I went with a regular width instead.

These sneakers were recommended to me from a true RUNNER. I am not a runner per se, but I wanted a good, sturdy athletic shoe for walking a lot and for gym use. So, I tried Brooks. I was not crazy about the mesh or look, so for the price, I am going to return them and find a pair that I like the style better. Though, I do have to say they were quite comfortable and lightweight. I would recommend them to others, I am just super picky with shoes and I want to love it for a price over $100.

Comfy. Supportive. Just the right amount of toe room.

I sized up from a 7 to 7 1/2. Think I am going to exchange for a 7. It is comfortable just a little too much room in the tow box. I’m sure they will give some so going down to a 7

I usually wear a 7.5 Wide or WW. In these shoes, the 8 D fits me perfectly. There is room to wiggle my toes, and my arches are well supported.

I have been wearing the Brooks Ghost line of athletic shoes for several years now and have found them to be supportive and comfortable for my aging knees and back. While the Ghost 11 is still as good as ever as far as support and comfort, they seem to run a bit narrow in comparison to other Ghost models I have worn in the past. I'm hoping as I wear them they will stretch out a bit. The Brooks Ghost is still my favorite athletic shoe.

Runs small so order 1/2 size up. Very comfortable when i adjusted the size. I walk 4 miles daily and these sneaakers hold up nicely in both style and comfort.

My stride is neutral. I wear a true 8. I workout M-F. I run 4-15 miles a week. I have a slight Achilles issue. That said, I’ve always been a gel-nimbus fan. A couple of years ago, Nimbus went really narrower than I like on their toe box, and I do not have a wide food. Average. But I love the cushion and heel hug so much I stayed with Nimbus. Ghost is the first alternative I’ve tried and liked in about 6 years; the little bit of extra room in the toe is just right for me. The cushion is still there, though a smidge less than Nimbus. The support is good with my neutral step. They didn’t seem to require any breaking in. My dream shoe would combine these two but for now I’m happy with the Ghost.

My Ghost 10's are completely worn out from heavy gym use and need to be replaced. They seem to be sold out everywhere, so I decided to give the Ghost 11's a try. The style is cute and I love the pink color I ordered, but the fit is not the greatest. I wear custom orthotics, and my Ghost 10's were the most comfortable athletic shoe out of the box I have ever had and worked with my orthotics perfectly. The Ghost 11's are not working well with my orthotics. The back heel doesn't deep enough and feels short on the back of my heel and slips a little. I will hang on to these and compare them to some Glycerines and Levitates I just ordered to see which is the best option.

True to size and width means 1/2 size larger as I do for all athletic shoes. I had the ghost 10 and didn’t like them. Wore out too quickly, rubbed side of my foot. Was reluctant to buy again but the reviews were good. I left ASICS because they had gotten so poorly made and wanted something that would work with my wide foot. So far these are great. Very comfortable.

Eight miles out of the box. Fit is good, no rubbing, no tight spots, plenty of room in the toe box - perfect fit for me (I go up one full size in running shoes, to protect my toes). I came from Ghost 9s, which I really really liked. I skipped the 10s, so I can't compare. My only negative on the 11s is that the strike felt flatter to me than the 9s. Not sure if that makes sense- to use a ski term - not enough rocker. Otherwise, I think they are going to be just fine!

Love these shoes! Super comfortable and perfect fit. The wide in my true size (8.5) is ideal. First time wearing Brooks but I'm hooked.

Like the shoe overall but, unlike my Brooks Ghost 9, it seems to be quite a bit wider in the front/toe area. It almost feels too big even though it is the same size as my old pair. Perhaps it is because the

Loved these shoes but dealing with plantar fascia and the arch support was too much and it put my hips out of balance.

Second pair of Ghost (last ones were 7s, so it was past time to replace). The first day I wore them, I walked over 5 miles at work, legs and feet were tired but probably more because I had walked over 6 miles the previous day. I ordered a 9 to be able to wear thicker socks, even though I wear an 8 in all other shoes and still had a tad bit of toe room. They were comfortable enough and added a little punch to my otherwise drab navy scrubs (ordered the navy and lavender pair).

I have worn quite a few Brooks shoes - Beast, Adrenaline, Ravenna, Dyad and now Ghost. This time, I ordered a half size up - based on previous reviews about fit and have to say... it was a mistake. The Ghost is very roomy in the toe box and looser around the back of the foot than some of the other Brooks shoes I have run in. On the plus side, they were REALLY Light - even with my orthotics in. I returned and will order my regular size.

Ordered these to try as a new pair of running shoes. They were pretty true to Brook's description- a neutral, solid shoe. The arch was not too high. I have high arches and tend to supinate when I run, so these weren't exactly what I was looking for. Nice shoe but not right for me.
