They fit perfectly! I tried two other brands- Salomon and New Balance- that didn't fit well. They are very lightweight and comfortable. I love the colors, too.

I have long narrow feet and it is often hard to find a good fit. These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. I love the color and will likely purchase another pair. Thank you Zappos for making this process user friendly.

My second pair of Brooks Ghost shoe which has become a favorite. The comfort is wonderful, fits nicely, no foot issues. It is a bonus that there are choices of patterns/colors.

I've been wearing the Ghost for years and this pair as perfectly study and comfortable as I've come to expect from these shoes. The only visual difference I can spot there's a tiny additional panel of reflective material on the toe, which may come in handy for pre-dawn runs as it gets hotter. They otherwise feel and look the same as other Ghosts (which is a good thing!).

I am 2 years post knee surgery. In August, I bought Hokas because they were really cushioning. I was torn between Hokas and the Brooks so I decided BOTH! Ghosts for my short runs and Hoka for long runs. I am very happy.

Great for inserting orthotics directly into a size-larger shoe! I unusually wear a 10 in sneakers and 9 sandal....but I buy an 11 in Ghosts to ensure great performance and toe room with my prescription orthotics! Wow. Just wow. My 4th pair of Ghosts...never better...even more bounce in my step!

I have Ghost 11’s and the 9 was perfect. The 9 in Ghost 12’s fit but felt a bit smaller in length and width. The tongue seemed to have more padding. I’m still trying to figure out exactly what is different but definitely a bit smaller feeling. Still love them. Time will tell about the overall fit.

I wear a size 11 narrow and that is the size I bought in this shoe . I have neuropathy in both feet and have pain in my arch on a regular basis even when not wearing shoes, and I pronate badly. I put some heel cushions in the shoes on the arch side of both feet and it helps a lot to keep the arch pain down, especially when walking. I am 68 years old, and the neuropathy makes almost any shoe less than perfect. These and the Brooks Adrenaline 20 are the only shoes I could find in my size recently. Sadly, some shoe manufacturers are discontinuing their narrow sizes, which is worrisome! I could probably benefit from a stronger arch support, but these will do until I can find something like that to try. I did find that the Brooks Adrenaline and the Ghost fit very much the same. The toe box in the Ghost is a little rounder than the Adrenaline and the arch area of the Ghost might be a tad snugger, but they both fit me like a glove. I am a 10 in one foot, and a 10 1/2 in the other with a long big toe, but the 11 fit me fine. I hope this is helpful to someone with similar issues.

I have a high arch and was looking for a good support when I walked or ran. I’ve had Brooks in the past and was very pleased! These did not disappoint!!

Like the color and design. Wish there were more soft neutral colors for people who have survived the 60’s twice!!

I bought these along side the Anthem 3 and Adreneline GTS 20. These had by far the most arch support of the three pairs and were the ones I kept. The sole is a bit more cushioned than the other two as well. My last pair was the Glycerin 15 and I felt that these were comparable. They do run small. I typically wear a 7.5-8 and I bought an 8.5

These are perfect! I have bunions and several neuromas in right foot. I am a heavy walker and bicyclist that normally wears New Balance. These are wonderful and I went to a wide which works even with narrow heels. Put them on and no adjustment whatsoever. No pain. YAY! The assistance by Zappos was incredible- always positive, can do attitude. Top-notch customer Service is alive! Enjoy!

Bought this shoe for my mom who has been walking daily during covid-19. She loves it! Best walking shoe she's ever had, she said she feels almost like it propels her forward and helps her walk faster. Ordering a pair for my daughter who seems to walk on the ball of her foot and suffer from back pain.
