I love these shoes! They're super comfortable and light. After a few runs, it made me want to buy another pair just to have it in stock- that's how comfortable the are!

First off I want to thank Zappos for being so patient with me they are an excellent company! I returned several pairs of shoes before I finally found an AWESOME fit!! I love my Brooks Ghost 12's, I had to go up to the 2EE for the perfect fit!!! Michael in Georgia...

Fit may be a shade snugger in the toe box than the Ghost 11s, but not so much as I'd change size for it...I'd probably tinker with the laces. Now, in fairness, I'm overweight, and use my Ghosts exclusively for walking, so I appreciate that may be a less exacting "use case" than running.
This is my first pair on Zappos -- the bright yellow/green, I call them "Gatorade" shade, and love it. Especially like the spherical shoe laces as well.

These shoes are a good fit in the narrow size. They are an improvement over the Brooks Ghost 11.

Size was perfect, same as Ghost 11s. No issues can start running in them right out of the box. Very happy with Brooks over last several years.

This is my third pair of Ghosts. I have really liked all of them. These fit true to size like the previous ones that I have owned. The only difference that I noticed was that on this model the tongue is a little longer and thicker towards the top, by your instep. It did not bother me at all.

Pretty interesting shoe. I tried a slightly smaller size but then came up to 4E because of bunions and previous surgery. At first it feels bit snug but after a few minutes and 1/2 mile it really feels good with good support I wasn't getting with other shoes. A real positive difference from Nike and New balance for me. I do have an orthotic in it. My legs seem to feel better also.
I'm not a runner because of multiple joint replacements, but this shoe feels good for walking and general use. I can bike and train a bit.

Great shoe. I have been running for over 40 years and probably have tried more shoes that our sold on this site. I have never had a shoe that did not need to be 'broken in' prior to feeling comfortable in them. This shoe however was good to go right out of the box. I have to say that this shoe is the best I have ever had.

this is my favorite Brooks shoe so far! it provides just the right amount of support without feeling obtrusive, and it's so lightweight you feel like you're almost not wearing a shoe at all--makes you feel like you're ready to take off and move fast! the heel is a little higher than on my last pair, which is requiring a little breaking in, but it's not overly stiff or uncomfortable. the blue is an awesome, bright, cheerful color, too. i considered ordering a second pair so i'll have one when this pair has run its course.

These shoes are better than the Ghost 11. That style was a little too wide, when I ordered a narrow shoe. These are comfortable and good looking.

Fit was good. First tried size 11, but normally take a larger size in running shoes. The 12 fit perfectly.

Put more than 400 miles on my Ghost 11s. Loved them. Love these even more. A tad lighter and great cushioning. Have to admit, loving the fancy color! Will probably buy another pair to keep on stand-by.

this is the 2nd pair of the ghost 12 that i’ve bought. would like to have bought a different color but the more desirable colors are sold out. most of the other 4e sized athletic shoes are for overpronators. this shoe is neutral. the shoes are light and comfortable so i bought another pair before they sell out.
