I’m usually wear Saucony running shoes but this time chose Brooks on a friend’s recommendation. With running shoes I go a half size up. These fit and feel great right out of the box. Plenty of room in the toe box and they fit well at the heel. Looking forward to putting some miles on these!

These shoes feel really good. No need for additional inserts, though I have some which I use in a lot of my shoes. The toes are more rounded than most sneakers, so my toes can move. The toe box is roomy--a good thing in my opinion. No issues with my skinny, bony heels slipping either. My knees feel better after a 4 mile walk than they did with my other sneakers too. Pricier than what I typically buy, but the comfort is well worth it.

I have a very hard time finding shoes of any kind (boots, everyday, running - anything). The problem is I need a very generous toe box which is uncommon in most shoes made for women. These are perfect - the are comfortable and provide plenty of room up in the toe area. I've only run a couple of times in them, but so far so good.

I use these for walking and the 12N fit very well. I didn’t look early enough to get a plain black or grey Ghost 12, so the color isn’t my choice. I looked for a neutral balance shoe as I over-supinate and many Brooks shoes are for over-pronators. They’re comfortable. If the toes weren’t mesh, I might feel they’re a bit narrow in the toe.

Quite honestly the Ghost 12 is not as comfortable as the Ghost 11 which Brooks no longer makes. I did not send these back but there is a mistake in the sewing around one of the eyelets, resembling "2nds". Disappointing in that. It really annoys me when I find a style I like and they change it. Not your issue, it's the companies. But what is your issue not implementing quality control before the sneaker goes out. This would have been obviously noticeable if someone cared enough to look.

Huge fan of the Ghost 11, and needed a new pair. Fits as expected for size 8, medium.

Brooks Ghost are my go to shoes. I did not have a problem with sizing as some other reviewers have. Wore right out of the box for an 8 hour workday with no issues.

Ghost is my go-to running shoe. I try something different, but always come back to these shoes. I have a neutral gait with multiple injuries (knee, hip, hamstring) and these shoes are the best to keep me moving. They offer good support without being too mushy. I have longer toes and land on the balls of my feet while running. I wear a half-size larger in these shoes compared to my casual shoes and they fit great.

I can't review these shoes without also reviewing the same shoe a half size larger, which I also ordered. So!! Let me start by saying I have an extremely difficult time finding comfortable footwear that accommodates my need for a roomy toe box (arthritis) and deep cushioning (loss of padding on the bottom of my feet). For a very long time, Uggs boots were the only footwear I could comfortably wear (and I do, often well into late Spring) -- but I can't wear them all Summer. For any other than Uggs boots to work, they must first meet the first requirement for a roomy toe box, but also offer enough additional roominess to accommodate added foam insoles. A couple of years ago, I found something that worked . . . Ghost 11 shoes (in blue and in grey). They have stood the test of time; all I have to do to keep them going is replace the foam insoles a couple of times a year with a fresh pair. But I needed a black pair. Then I found these black Ghost 12s and gave them a try. I did find I needed a 1/2 size larger in these than I wear in the Ghost 11s (which is why I am returning the 9 1/2s). But the 10s fit perfectly!! And (initially, anyway) I don't even need the foam sole inserts. I am ELATED with these shoes!! And if they're comfortable for my poor feet, I'm sure they'd fit a normal foot beautifully. Thanks to Brooks . . . and to Zappos, for supporting my unending search for comfortable footwear, with their free return shipping!!

These are the most amazing shoes I've ever owned. I have wide feet and need a lot of cushion and these are perfect!

Brooks Ghost are my go to running shoes. I get one size up from my regular shoes and they fit terrific. I love the cushion and treads. Love the black with gold trim. Very stylish. I feel like I can run faster and longer.

These shoes fit great and have good cushioning. Great for walking and running. This is my second pair of Ghost and while they are expensive they are totally worth it.

Size and fit perfect. I ordered a 7.5. I normally wear a 7.0, however, after purchasing Brooks in the past, I went with the 7.5

I want to kick myself for not trying Brooks sooner. I am an ICU nurse and have gone through more pairs of shoes than I can count. Everyone always told me to try Brooks, and I never did. I finally saw the light and ordered these and I can 100% say I am a Brooks girl for life!
