I love this shoe - my 3rd pair of this exact same model and color - the only one that comes in a narrow width. I walk 5 miles a day and so I go through them fairly quickly.

Ghost is the right shoe for me! I've worn Ghost for years, but recently tried the Levitate as an alternative. The back of the Levitate destroyed my heels. I kept waiting for them to break in and they never did. So I returned to my tried and true- Ghost. The are cushiony, have a wider toe box which I need and a lower profile at the heel which is just right. Love having a shoe that I can count on!

Favorite running shoe. This is the third pair of brooks ghost I have purchased for running and they never disappoint! I have tried other shoes for running that are cheaper, but they never compare.

Fit is excellent. Plenty of toe room but not chunky looking.

True to size. I wear 9 in sneakers and this 9 fit me fine. The toe box is bulbous.. a tad clown like, so not stylish but good for a runner’s landing. I walk and sprint on gravel dirt road and occasionally wet grass (nature trail) this bottom tread works great- lots of hefty padding so I never feel the ground I hit, and I land securely. I am not a real runner so not sure about support for that. I took out the insole ( easily)and put in my pink super feet to please my high volume, very high arch feet. I got the black color ..mostly to minimize the to my taste wide looking toe- box. I am pleased with this purchase!

Best athletic shoe I've found. It has great arch support, is stable and lightweight.

This is my 5th pair. I have a hard time with painful feet. These shoes are the best I found for nursing. Lots of support and cushion for pounding on feet all day. My feet are happy in these all day. A little more protection around the toe box would be nice.

This is my third pair of Brooks, second of the Ghost. I love Brooks for running. They are lightweight and have a nice wide toe box. I always size up a half size and they fit perfect. Was able to go running in these right away without needing to “break them in”. Cool plaid pattern adds to the fun factor. Would definitely recommend!

I had bought another pair of more expensive shoes that I tried on when I tried these on. I wear a small size and always have to order online. I bought the more expensive pair because i found them $55 off. Returned them because the Brooks feel more comfortable

These are among my favorite running shoes that I've bought in recent times. I'm definitely a fan and plan on buying a second pair.

I have been a faithful Asics runner for the last 10 years. I needed more support than I was getting, and a friend recommended this shoe. I have been very happy with the cushioning, arch support and general support. I have a narrow foot and was able to get the shoe in a narrow width. Brooks mediums are too wide for me. I have been happily running in this shoe for a couple of months.

This is my 2nd Ghost 12 running shoes. They are by far the best and most comfortable shoe I own! I have the solid black (wear with everything) and the temptest/kentucky blue colors.

These were wonderful for the first few months but the cushioning went flat very quickly.

Ghosts are my favorite by Brooks because of their fit. I feel like they’re all consistent. I like the size of the toe box giving plenty of space and I like how easy they are to get off and on. I’m about 8 foot surgeries in and I truly rely on brooks to get me through just a normal day of walking that feels like a marathon with my poor feet. All my scars on all sides of my feet are not affected by the stitching and that’s a gift to me. I’ve even gotten them for my mom with bad bunions and she loves these too. I highly recommend to at least give them a try.

These are the BEST fitting sneakers I have owned to date. I have a low arch and need to wear orthotics. Not a problem - just cut and adjusted the foot bed. I also have super long toes, so I need a wider toe box. These are perfect for that! I am so glad I found them.

They are comfortable and at the same time they give me the support I need since I had an operation on one knee and I'm starting to walk again.

Very comfortable. I like the roomy toe box, and the heel doesn't slip at all. Good support and cushion.

They fit great, but the arch support on the left was a little uncomfortable. For me that doesn't matter as I have arthritis bilateral in the midfoot and I will be taking the insole out and using a custom orthotic. The left felt good after I removed the insole. This is my first pair of Brooks shoes and I think I am going to be pleased.

Perfect fit, this is my second pair of Brooks Ghost (previously wore Ghost 10) and they are as amazing as the first! My feet are wide and the toe box is generous. Great shoe for supination as well.

I've been wearing Ghost shoes for years. The shoes are great for every day errands, running, walking, etc. Brooks are a fantastic brand at a great quality & price point. I also was really wanting a pair without a white bottom and I lucked out this year!

Overall, good shoe. They discontinued the line I was fit to wear. Tried these, the fit is good. I’m not sure if the arch support is as good as my previous line, but holding up. Like the color
