Love the Ghost 12. Very comfortable running shoe. My Physical Therapist recommended them to after a stress fracture.

I wasn't sure if I'd keep these shoes when I ordered them, but they're staying here. I wear a Narrow that limits my options on many styles, which affected my purchasing decision. I will say the Narrow on this is pretty Narrow, but i do expect the shoes to relax a bit and should be perfect.

Perfect running and walking shoes. I’ve tried so many other brands and these are by far the best! Fit true to size. I feel like I’m walking on clouds. My feet love them so much!

This is my first pair of the Ghost style and I must say, I'm quite impressed. They are sturdy, very comfortable, and my feet feel "coddled" like wrapped in a comfy pillow. For reference I am a 10 AA but sneakers I wear 10 1/2 AA. Up to now i lived in new balance sneakers but not sure what is happening with them....I'm finding they are not as good as they used to be. My only complaint.......there is very little to choose from when you wear a narrow in terms of colors. This color was not my first choice but when I put them on.......viola! My new favorite sneaker and brand. Thank you Zappos

I have worn Ghost Brooks since my right foot surgery for plantar fasciitis with always good results..............my only issue is that I have overpronation so outer heel tends to wear down very rapidly.

Love these shoes, Brooks customer for many years now because of the width selection. Sadly these are simply too narrow for me so I need to return and find a double wide, but that is the fault of my feet, not the shoes, which I think are most likely true to size. I am so grateful that Zappos has implemented the new 30-day return option, because when I first tried on these outa the box, they felt fabulous, probably by comparison with the old ones. I wore the new half a dozen times on the street for about an hour each time, but then had to change shoes, but would not have realized they were too narrow had I merely worn them around the house as I have always done in the past with Zappos purchases. Thank you, Zappos!

I've had the Brooks Ghost 10 in the past so thought I'd give these a try. They're a great tennis shoe and good for my wide feet. I'm more narrow in the heel and wider towards the front. I got the turbulence/grey/desert thinking they'd be more grey, but they lean more blue. Still nice looking, but just an FYI.

I have been wearing Brooks Ghosts for about 5 years and I love them and this pair was no different - size and feel was great. As soon as i put them on - felt like putting on slippers - went on a couple mile walk - like i had been wearing them for weeks.

I usually order 6W but ordered 6.50W the length the sneakers were too short but the width was fine. I keep on trying different sneaker but have not had much luck because of my fussy left foot. I have always bought SAS but they have narrowed there shoes and sneakers. I have a lot of brands of sneakers have done the same. I keep on trying. Thank you Zappos for your great service.

SAS if I can correct size.

These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. I bought the gray and peach color and they look nice. I don’t usually wear wide shoes, but I did buy a wide in this shoe and it fits perfectly.

These shoes fit well, the large toe box doesn't hurt my arthritic toe. They look really nice! My gastroenterologist really liked them and commented that I must exercise to have such amazing shoes.

I was turned on to the Brooks Ghost 12 from my Naval Aviator son and RunnersWorld.com as a top pick. I recently bought a Peloton Tread and these shoes have been awesome for power walking and hiking! Shock absorbing, rocker shaped footbed, these are perfect for what I need, sporty too ??. I use my custom orthotics in them and bought a wide width to accommodate them which was perfect. My feet feel so great I bought a second pair.

Bought these to use for loads of walking and a little running. I have terrible bunions...especially on my left foot that is slightly longer than the right. I normally wear a 7 1/2-8, so I purchased an 8 wide. The toe box on my left foot is still a bit narrow as it is putting pressure on my bunion and causing a little pain. The length is good, so I believe an 8 1/2 would be too long and would slip off my heels. Hoping they will stretch a bit in the toe box over time. The shoe is super supportive and definitely like “walking on clouds” other than the toe box issue. It’s an attractive shoe, too. Wish more colors were available in the D width.

I’ve had Brooks Ghosts for years as my running shoes. I wear them out and buy another pair. These are the prettiest! The little bit of sparkle on the laces and champagne colored accents are really nice.

Fantastic shoes in every way. I was looking for a Summer sneaker for kicking around. They had too much of an athletic look for what I wanted. They would be perfect for any fitness endeavor.

Y’know that euphoric feeling when you put on a brand new pair of shoes? And then the nanosecond afterward, when you gotta wonder if it’s really a great fit or just marginally better than the old shoes you just shed. I always wore my new shoes around the house for weeks before deciding their fate: trust & keep or cut bait & return? Now Zappos has a 30 day return policy on my newest Brooks so I have bravely hit the pavement with them for the last two days, hallelujah! There is no company in the same tier as Zappos for selection & service. Thank you.
