Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 11

I was a lover of the Ghost 10s. Stocked up when I knew it was time for them to retire. Reluctantly bought the 11s, cautiously optimistic based on reviews. I really don’t like the toothpaste mint color accent. But more substantially, the fit of these is different than the 10s. I was a 9W in the 10s. These are narrower in the toe box, I can visibly see my foot stretching and overhanging the profile of the shoe. They are also not as deep in the heel cup, which means orthotic arch support inserts no longer fit - my heel slips out with each step because the height to the top of the shoe is so much lower. Those with average to narrow feet, and without inserts, will probably do just fine.

The Brooks Ghost 11 runs very short and very wide.

Way to small even though all other size 12 shoes fit perfectly. At least one full size smaller.

I have the Ghost 10 that have become too loose over time, so I ordered the 11 in a medium and a narrow width. The narrow was perfect, so I am returning the medium. Great shoes.

The sole is coming off shoe in several places.

I was really disappointed in these, the latest version of my favorite running shoe. I have several ghost styles 7-10. Love them all. No breaking them in, just put them on and GO. The ghost 11 was huge in the toe box and very wide overall. My foot swam in them so much that I checked to see if I ordered the wrong size. Not sure what Brooks is thinking with the size changes. Sadly, I sent them back. Searched the internet, found and ordered another pair of ghost 10’s.

I ordered my regular size and was surprised to find this version of the Ghost 11 was larger and wider than other past versions. I sent them back and ordered a Ghost 10 from a different seller.

Disappointed. If you loved the Ghost 10 as I did, this is not equivalent. I purchased the same size as my Ghost 10 & it’s significantly different. It’s wider in the toe box & heel & it seems to be longer (based on my orthotics not filling the entire sole of the shoe. I’m bummed that I now have this pricey shoe collecting dust as it is unwearable for me.

Sloppy wide in forefoot. Not neutral as advertised - makes my foot lean to outside.

Brooks, why the ugly colors? Brooks was my go to brand, but man the colors are terrible this year so I'm trying something else.
