I kid you not, I got a runner's high by just slipping these awesome runners on for the first time! I put them on and walked around and wow! If you can imagine your feet incased in a marshmallow cloud, that would be the best description of how it feels to wear these. So worth the expense. Feeling motivated and protected for my walks and runs moving forward. Plus, the style is really nice. I chose the purple hued ones and they look great.

I now have 6 pairs of Brooks and I can't say enough good things about them. Super-comfortable for all-day wear, great padding around the ankle, and firm, stable support from the sole of the shoe. Nice, wide toe box for my Daisy Duck feet. Every pair also is very attractive - I love this really pretty blue that I just got.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance is nice but not as good as Brooks.

Bought for a gift for sister getting back into running. Loved the color way and increased comfort from another company’s “running” shoes

This is my third pair of the Ghost. I’ve had the 10, 11 and now 12s. I’ve loved them all. Purchased a 7 in all three styles. I measure just under 23.5 cm (size 6.5) and on the Brooks website it says to order 1/2 to one whole size larger and I do a 1/2 size up. I do the runners tie to keep secure at the ankle. Very happy with these!

These are so comfy! They are flexible yet supportive. I have a very narrow foot and have orthotics. These are one of the most comfortable pair of running shoes I own and I have a lot of running shoes!!

These are my favorite pair of Ghosts. I think the 12 may be narrower in the forefoot, but for me that makes it feel more stable than my earlier versions. I'm going to get another pair. The grape and cantaloupe is very nice.

Typically, I’m a true size 8. In the Ghost, I had to move up to 8.5. I think they would have stretched and been fine, but I’m a nurse and needed to wear them straight from the box to twelve hours on my feet. Did not disappoint. My feet did not hurt at all. Very comfortable and supportive. So far, best shoes for nursing that I have found (and I’ve pretty much tried them all). I plan on buying another pair to wear when not at work. Love them!

I’ve purchased many pair of brooks sneakers but these by far have been the most comfortable. Very shock absorbent in the forefoot. I walk many miles a day and my feet feel great. I ordered wide width which gave me alittle extra room in the toe box.

These are the best running shoes for me! This is my 3rd pair as I like to replace every six months or so. I also find that I can power/brisk walk in these. I used to get shin splints and pain along side of foot and bottom of foot, but not with these! The design is not the most stylist, but I don’t care because my feet love them!!

I usually wear New Balance but couldn't a shoe that was good for walking. These Brooks are great. They fit perfect other than the arch is a little off on one foot. In Brooks I have to order an 8 wide instead of a 7 1/2 due to how my toes are tight in that size. So the 8 works just great. I life the color and style of these for spring and summer. I do recommend these Ghost 12. I have a Ghost 10 also.

These shoes are pretty comfortable. I am really happy with them. I thought they would have a bit more cushion in the bottom but even without that extra cushion they are still comfortable. I have worn them while exercising and walking on hard surfaces and my feet have not hurt in them.

Really like the light weight feeling of this shoe and the support is very comfortable, wore them right out of the box.

I have rheumatoid arthritis in both feet and these shoes are a godsend for the pain! My rheumatologist told me to go with Brooks or New Balance for my RA feet. I chose Brooks based on product reviews and happy that I did. Both the Ghost 11 and Ghost 12 shoes are my go-to shoes most days of the week and when I switch back to other shoes I always pay for it with increased pain. The toe box on the 12 feels slightly narrower than the 11 but not a deal breaker and my toes are by no means squished. My only issue I have with both models is in the heel; I could use a narrower heel in the shoe, but maybe it's just my feet. If you have painful feet for any reason and want to get back to an active life again I highly recommend these shoes!
