These shoes are roomy, great for walking (I’m not a runner). They feel very stable and supportive. I inserted my own arch supports and everything feels great. They definitely run 1/2 size small, so order accordingly.

I’m always nervous about buying running shoes, but these feel great so far ( I’ve had them about a month). And I absolutely love the look! (Boston skyline, but I’m partial;)

This is my 2nd pair of Ghosts. I had a Ghost 10 and really liked them but they are pretty worn out from walking which is why I bought a new pair. I usually wear a 7.5 but bought the size 8 and the shoes fit perfectly. A good width for my bad bunions! I ordered the Normal width although last pair I bought the Wide and they were just a bit too wide. I think the arch support is excellent. Style: well I wish they were a bit more hip, less athletic-like but the style is better than most other athletic shoes.
I'd also recommend:

Brooks Ghost 12 has been my go to shoe! I wear an 8.5 or 9 and in this shoe, I do order a 9. I have been doing HIIT and Body Pump now for 3 years and Brooks Ghost shoes are perfect for both workouts!! Love them!!!

I have wanted these shoes for fitness walking for many months and finally ordered them. I ordered an 8.5 2A, the size of my previous Ghost running shoes. My left foot is a smidge longer than the right so my toes gently touch the end, if I am wearing my heavy duty, thick Thorlo socks. However, I have no intention of returning them; I will wear thin running socks.

Either my feet have grown a lot or these shoes run really small. I typically wear a 9 or 9.5 narrow, and I am now trying an 11 wide with these and they're still a tad on the small size. I love that the heel runs narrow, but I'm not sure what to make of the rest of the shoe. Overall the cushion feels great and the fit feels nice, except I can't find a size in which my toes don't rub against the end of the shoe.

The ghost 12 is one of the best running shoes I have had the luck of purchasing. I was experiencing severe knee pain and once I switched to these shoes the pain was practically gone. Please do your research but this shoe is a 10/10 for me

Absolutely love these shoes! I’ve had different running shoes over the years, but these top them all. I can actually feel the cushion under my foot! Will definitely be reordering when it comes time for a new pair!

Plenty of cushioning for my tired feet. I ordered a wide width to make sure my feet weren’t pinched.

I ordered a half size larger than I usually wear, and they’re perfect. Probably the most comfortable tennis shoe I’ve ever worn!

First of all -- I love the look of these shoes. I really wanted a pair that was exciting to wear -- ones that would get me off the couch and want to put on my feet. I love the vibrant colors and fun design. BUT I also really NEEDED a shoe that was going to fit well and support my feet. I walk 3-4+ miles a day 3-5 days a week for exercise -- So I needed a pair that was going to hold up to that beating. These shoes did it! At first, I was not totally sold. It took a few wears for them to wear in and mold to my feet but once they did -- wow are these great shoes. They have some bounce and sort of propel me (hard to explain). I like that they feel more compact compared to other pairs I tried on. I have had them about a month and so far -- I'm thrilled and they are wearing well.

Love how light the shoe feels. I’m on my feet 8hrs a day so these give me the perfect comfort.

These shoes are true to size. I loved them immediately after putting them on. I had bunion surgery 2/21/20. I average 5 miles walk/run 7 days a week 115 consecutive days. No more aches and pains when I wear these Cinderella slippers. I can’t wait to buy a second pair. Love my Brooks!

So light and comfortable. However, I am having some rubbing on my right heel. Hoping that this will improve after the break in period.

I have narrow heels, but need arch support and a wider toe box because I hate my toes feeling cramped. I tried these after my favorite Merrell sneakers were no longer able to be purchased online.
My hip soreness went away once I got these. I don't run, but walk in them and I think they are great! At first I thought the heel was too loose, but I used the extra lace hole and that solved the heel issue!

Brooks Ghost running shoes are the best I've found for my purpose, which is walking fast on a treadmill with a problem under-sole callus that keeps returning (not from the shoe -- inherited, unfortunately). I wear out the cushioning after about 6 months usually, so I'm buying another pair today.

I really like the shoes and they are Comfortable. I don’t like the shoestrings, so I am replacing them.

I upgraded from my Ghost 11s and I definitely notice how these fit more like the Ghost 10s. They're a little shorter in the toe box and a bit wider. I got the light blue/periwinkle which is a gorgeous color in person. The laces are sort of slippery but this doesn't seem to be an issue.
