Best running shoes I’ve ever owned. Even more beautiful in person, as the gold stripe along the bottom glistens different colors. Super lightweight. Very happy about this purchase!

This is my first pair of Brooks sneakers, recommended to me due to plantar fasciitis. So far so good, they feel comfortable with good support. Due to corona quarantine I have only been wearing them inside the house , but they will probably be ok outside.

I have worn brooks for almost a decade and my go-to shoe has always been the Glycerine. I heard a review that the Ghost is very similar at a slightly lower price point, so wanted to try. (I purchased these and a pair of glycerine 18 to compare). They felt VERY VERY similar, but for me - but the deciding factor was that the Ghost are just a bit too loose in the ankle (the "lip" of the shoe - the part that goes around your foot/below the ankle bone) - for my comfort. The design of the ghost 12 is incredibly similar to my glycerine 16's (fabric upper, shoe laces and sole insert...even the color style). I did not take them out for a test run before returning, as the feeling in the ankle/heel was not secure enough for my comfort. My advice - if you like and are familiar with the glycerine, try the Ghost - they may be a more economical option for you!

The fit & size of this shoe was perfect for my #8 Medium. Light weight, good arch support but exceptional midsole support. A keeper for my fused Right big toe!

Have many of the ghost line, two pairs of ghost 11 that I alternate on different days. These ghost 12's are the most comfortable of all. Love them.

Well, it was my fault for ordering 10-1/2....I already have a pair of 11s in the same shoe. But I thot they were a little big (probably influenced by the fact that in a regular shoe I wear a 9 or 9-1/2...anyway, I decided to send the 10-1/2 back and wait for 11s. I do love these shoes which is why I purchased a 2nd pair!

Admittedly I'm not a "runner" really, but I bought these in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and decided to run for my cardio workout. Before I bought these shoes I was running (jogging really) in a hybrid shoe I guess and constantly getting shin splints. Since I've been using these shoes no shin splints and they are INCREDIBLY comfortable.

Like the shoe. Had the Ghost a couple years ago and liked them.I alternate a couple two or three pair of shoes for walking, different brands, for ultimate foot comfort.

They are very different from what I have been wearing for sure. Much thicker sole/support but that is what I was needing with a new case of plantar fasciitis. I don't run but do long-distance walking and so far so good.

These shoes were comfortable right from the start. I will probably give myself a few more days of wearing them indoors before going out in them given how fussy my feet are about shoes. I will not be using them for running, but I am walking as much as I can given the circumstances. I have very high arches and a wide foot in front but medium width in the heal. This shoe appears to accommodate that combination well. I had tried about 8 different shoes and companies before getting these.

This is my 3rd pair of Ghost 12's. I found it hard to find black and like that these have the white sole and insignia. I have heel and arch pain and the Ghost 12's work well for me.

I have multiple foot issues, and so I hesitated going through the process of buying a new pair of comfortable running shoes. I ordered at least a dozen different brands/models online, and none were comfortable for one reason or another. Every one had to be returned, a few the same day they arrived. Thank you Zappos for being so understanding! My last hope was the Ghost 12. As soon as they arrived, I tried them on, and didn't take them off all day. Comfortable right out of the box! Nice wide toe box, narrow heel, great cushioning, perfect fit, and stylish design. I absolutely love them!!

Super comfortable. I could actually feel the arch of the shoe touch my arch. Not many shoes do that on my foot. My foot is also on the wider side and this was very comfortable without ordering a wide width.

I have super high arches and these seem to work. First time Brooks buyer. I haven't been out to exercise in them yet, but the comfort is very good.

I was looking for some shoes more for walking than running and these fit the bill!! Great style, and great fit! I have the Adrenaline series for running and these don't feel as 'cushiony' as those but could also be used for running if I need to.
