Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 11

I’ve been wearing Brooks Ghost for years as my primary exercise/running shoe. I wear a size 9, have a wide toe box, and a narrow heel. I sized up to a 9.5 and got a wide width. They were comfortable right out of the box. I’ve been spinning, running, and walking in them with no problem. I’ll definitely be sticking with this shoe for the foreseeable future. And, bonus, I saved $20 on the price and got free shipping w/ Zappos. And- there were more color options than I usually see in the running stores. Win win.

With most Brooks running shoes one should always go a half size larger than your usual size. If you want a neutral shoe with cushioning than you can't go wrong with Ghost. They wear extremely well and make your feet feel great. If you need support and cushioning then look at Adrenaline. I have tried other brands but they never compare with Brooks.

Really like the look of this shoe. Colors go with most my wardrobe. In the past Ive worn the glycerin model and decided to try the Ghost. I can say that I like the Ghost fit better for my foot and this will be my future model of choice.

The shoes fit great, just as expected. Shoes arrived very quickly. Excellent customer service.

I always wear a size 11 and in the last year or two I've had to switch to wide in order to accommodate my bunions and orthotics. I desperately wanted to get the ghost because everyone swears by it for running at both orangetheory and crossfit. 11s were just so small, all of my toes were crunched. 11.5 isn't made in a wide, do I got a 12, and it was far too long. The toe box has an odd shape in these and I feel that if they came in 11.5 wide, they'd be perfect. I ended up going with the launch 6 in 11.5 wide.

I have wide feet with bunions and my go-to aerobic shoes were becoming too painful to wear--the newest version just wasn't as comfortable as previous ones had been. I dreaded having to start over with a new shoe style, but began researching online and the Brooks Ghost 11 was highly rated by others with wide feet and bunions. I'm so glad I gave them a try! They provide great support and a cushiony, comfortable feel. I can wear them for hours with no pain at all--a noticeable improvement over my last shoes! I hope Brooks will continue making this style--and maybe giving the black version a stylish white sole!

These meet all my expectations. Comfortable, easy to wear right out of the box. Plenty of cushioning and wide toe box. Have also gotten several compliments on the the style! I chose these over a pair of on cloud x shoes.

The best shoes I've bought for my plantar fasciitis and high arches. Most shoes.i need to swap out the I sole but not with these. I can feel the shoe forcing my foot to probate correctly

These are the best sneakers I've ever had. I use to buy sneakers only if they were cute AND under $50, but then I went to a running store and tried these on. It was like night and day. They are extremely comfortable right out of the box. My feet feel very cushioned and supported. The toe box is very spacious, otherwise the rest of the shoe seems true to size. I got my first pair when I started training for my first half marathon. After 400-500 miles, I knew it was time for new sneakers as I started to get blisters and have pain in the balls of my feet. I tried on some other Brooks sneakers and other brands that the running store recommended, but nothing compared to these. I'm now on my second pair and training for my 3rd half marathon!

Great shoes! I actually bought these and the Glycerin 17 and had a hard time deciding which ones to keep. They were equally comfortable but I decided to keep these because I liked the color combination better.

These are my second ones. I love them for their support. I’m not running anymore but I am working out and it fits my needs

I ordered 4 pairs of shoes and kept this one. I slipped in my Sole inserts (from REI), and have done three long walks now and very happy with the shoes. I differ with previous complaints here about the ankle area being too low so not enough support. I live in AZ and love the lower style since it's a cooler ride. I've got some major feet challenges, previously have had plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, and I rolled and broke my ankle bone 4 months ago and it's still not quite right. With the inserts, the support is awesome while still maintaining a lightweight and cool shoe. Not to mention they are super cute! Also perfect for under-pronation. I do like that I sit lower in this shoe, I don't feel as prone to rolling my ankle. The sole is slightly wider at the bottom, also helping to avoid that roll. This is my first pair of Brooks and I'm thrilled! Looking forward to many miles of wear.

Brooks Ghost has been my go-to running shoe for about 5 years now and I love them. The Ghost 11 shoes are an update for me from previous versions and I wore them for the first time today on a run. They have a soft cushion, but enough support for my feet. I like these shoes because of the fit. The fabric of the upper portion of the shoe is stretchy enough to expand with swelling, thus it is not too tight around my toes.

After struggling with various injuries, Brooks Ghost is the only athletic shoe I wear. I don't run, but I use these for a variety of workouts as well as walking. The Ghost 11 is very lightweight and comfortable right out of the box. Brooks offers narrow sizes, which is perfect for me as I wear a 10 narrow. I'm very happy with my new Ghost 11's! My only suggestion is to carry more colors in the narrow sizes.

Great shoe so far, very light weight but sturdy. I ran in ASICS Gel Nimbus for years but haven’t loved the last few models.

Love these shoes!! They are better than the Glycerin in my opinion, almost as good as the Adrenaline with great support and stability. I have ball of the foot pain and when I wear these shoes running 7 miles I can run with ease! The pink color is very vibrant and I'm glad I bought them.

I loved my Asics Gel Nimbus Pro until they started manufacturing them with a smaller toe box. These are a seamless replacement! The toe box is spacious, the shoes provide the perfect support for running, and I love the bright colors! Brooks Ghost are my new go-to running shoes.

Love the cushion. Coming from a dedicated, long term ASICS Nimbus wearer. Was very impressed with the comfort and vision.

As always, these Brooks Ghost shoes (my third pair) fit perfectly, have good arch support, and most importantly for me, seem to really cushion my walk, making it feel like there is a bit of "give" at every step. I have tried other shoes that fit as well, but don't have that feature, which significantly makes walking for long distances much easier on the feet, legs and back. Love the design of these as well - less color, which makes them more neutral, and thus more versatile, in my opinion.

Nice sturdy shoes. Great support and fit on my average to wide feet. They look a tad clunky looking down at them but it may be just the white ones. Sleek from the front, sides and back though! Love them and all my other Brooks!

Cute shoes!

These shoes are very supportive and comfortable to run in.

I work 45-50 hrs a week on my feet. I’ve had my Achilles repaired, haglunds bump removed, and chronic planters fasciitis. These shoes ( along with inserts and gel heel cup on one foot) have been the shoe to get me through my days. When my feet start to give me troubles again, I replace. They are light weight and breath well. I was a little hesitant on the material over the toe possibly getting holes quickly because I’ve had that with previous Brooks shoes but the pair I just replaced did not get a hole after 3 months of a lot of wear and tear. We’ll see if this same shoe’s toe holds up.

This is my second pair - love the navy blue , fit is true and cushion is great - I wear custom orthotics so I cannot speak to arch support but wide toe box is essential- been wearing Brooks since Ghost 7 but am still happy with overall changes - highly recommend!

I have been looking for a new running shoe. I run 3-6 miles / day and have been a die hard mizuno shoe wearer. I have an ugly bunion on one foot so usually look for a wide shoe. I have run about 50 miles in these outside and on a treadmill. Have already ordered another pair. I have a very neutral foot strike and these have a good amount of cushion, flexibility, and support.
