Not an accurate rating because I haven't been running in the shoes yet, but please be advised that they do not need to be ordered 1/2. Go by the measurements!

The Ghost is my favorite Brooks shoe. I’ve also worn the Launch and the Adrenaline, but the Ghost seems to have more cushion and my feet don’t get tired in this model. Aesthetically, I think they look a little bulky around the sole, but they are so comfortable that I don’t care! I always size up a half size in Brooks, and I prefer the wide width for running. I wish there were more color options in the wide width!
I love ordering through Zappos; I usually get my shoes the next day, and returns are easy. Highly recommend!

Bought these for walking when we were told to stay home due to the virus and love them! They are very comfortable and look nice, too. The Kentucky blue/grey is pretty. Love the Brooks brand for walking and just bought a second pair in black/pink. The second pair seemed to run smaller than the first, so that was a little disappointing.

After reading the reviews I went a Half size up and a bit wider and I couldn’t be happier. Fit like a glove! Comfortable, movable and exactly as described.

I had previously ordered in my usual size, and while they fit and were comfortable, the shoes were a little snug. This time, I ordered a half size larger and they are great. Very comfortable for walking with my dogs.

I have purchased Ghost shoes in the past. I waited for the Ghost 12s to come out as the reviews for the 11s had me concerned. I have a narrow foot/heel but the B width is fine. I also wear orthotics and Brooks shoes work well with them. Purchased this pair in January and they are holding up well. I walk around 400 or so miles per pair then it is time for a new pair. Very comfortable fit.

The perfect sneaker for my feet! I have tried Hoka, Adidas, Kuru but the Brooks Ghost has helped my plantar fasciitis tremendously! I bought 2 pairs for me and one for my husband! He loves them too!

I've been running in a Brooks Ghost 11 for the past year. This is the first time I've ordered a running shoe online. Usually I go to my local outdoor store and get fitted but due to the pandemic I've had to change some behaviors. I thought I would be safe getting a similar shoe and I was right. The 12 is actually a better fit than the 11 and the color and materials are really nice. This is not a neutral shoe, as is say the Saucony shadow. I think it corrects a bit for supination but not so much that it's going to jack up your knee or hip if you don't have that issue. So far, I love this shoe. It's a joy to run in.

I've been wearing the Brooks Ghost series for 8 years now; I order a new pair every year or two. They're not the most stylish shoe but they're so comfortable and supportive, I can't imagine another pair. I've tried a few neutral support running shoe alternatives (mostly New Balance), but always end up back with the Ghost series. I tend to oversupinate (roll out) due to a hereditary neuropathy and these really help my stability when working out, especially with the grip on the outsole.

I usually wear a solid 8.5 - medium width. Zappos said my recommended size was a 9, so (although reluctant because I’m ALWAYS an 8.5) I went with it, and they fit perfectly. Wore them all day around the house first day with no discomfort. Second day, did my usual 3 mile walk and felt great. Sole is cushioned well but not squishy. Knit top forms comfortable without being too tight. Also love the light purple-violet highlights with the black.

I had a pair of Ghost 11 that I loved, and wanted a new pair to support 12+hrs work shifts at the hospital. I absolutely love this new iteration. My feet are comfortable and pain free at the end of a long day. I got the blue plaid ones and have also received many compliments on them. Very happy with this purchase. Also bought a pair for everyday use and so happy I did (I have to keep work shoes separate from nasty hospital shoes).

I ordered a couple styles of Brooks looking for shoes for my severe overpronation. These were the winners (with my orthotic). All the Brooks I ordered fit but do know I ordered 1/2 size larger than normal in all styles.

I disagree with the advice to order a size up. I’m a 6.5 wide; these shoes are true to size. I’ve had to switch back to Brooks because New Balance is now making their 1080 series much longer, way too long for me. Brooks gets it right., thank goodness!

I’ve been searching for a comfortable pair of running shoes for a few months, and could not find them. After years of one brand that no longer works for me, I couldn’t settle in to any others...until this shoe! Honestly, they feel better on my feet at times than being barefoot. Cushiony and comfy from the first wearing, no break in required. I did order a half-size up and that seems perfect for me. I love these and have nothing negative to say. I do need adequate space in the toe box, otherwise have a pretty slim foot. Mark me a Brooks devotee!

I have been searching for months for a comfortable walking/running shoe. I finally found it. The Brooks Ghost 12 are the most lightweight, comfortable shoes I have ever walked in. I love them so much I'll be purchasing another pair in a different color. Thanks to Zappos for their patience with all of my returns of other brands but, I kept trying other brands and none felt as good as these Brooks. Winner all the way.

Feels great on the feet. Didn't care for the color though, and with covid 19 wearing them a lot less. Will just stick with the blue pair of ghost 12 that I love.

This is the most comfortable running shoe I've worn. First sneaker that does not aggravate the Morton's Neuroma on my left foot and I am able to walk miles with continued comfort. Definitely run small. I am a true size 8 and found the 81/2 just about right.

I purchased these shoes at the suggestion of a professional long distance runner. I've been battling plantar fasciitis all summer. He suggested that I also purchase the Superfeet Premium Berry inserts for use in these shoes. In running shoes, I usually order 1/2 size larger than my regular shoe size. For this brand, I needed to order a full size larger. The shoes fit great. They are fitted in the heel and roomy in the toes. The sole is quite substantial. The appearance is much more attractive than shown in the photos.

Purchased for my daughter who is just starting to run. She likes the fit, cushion and style. It’s a good neutral shoe and gives solid support.

These are amazing. I’m a waitress and with my compressions socks these feel so good! I can walk for hours. My feet never feel tired or aches.

I love these shoes!!! I had tried 4 other brands and returned them (New Balance, ASICS, Salomon, Mizuno) before I found Brooks, and they are perfect! They fit so comfortably, and the designs and colors are great.
