True to size. I wear a 9.5 in most shoes and these fit great in 9,5. I have narrow feet, but I like a wider toe box to let my toes spread a little. These shoes have a lot of cushion and support. I wear them to work and my feet feel great after 8 hours on my feet. I love my Brooks.

So very happy to have found these BROOKS GHOST 12. I’ve been having a plantar fasciitis flair up and needed to find a good walking shoe for a week in Guatemala. The week is almost over and I love these shoes!

I bought these Ghost 12 shoes because I love my Ghost 11s, and I was not disappointed. They were immediately comfortable to wear, even without my orthotics (I have high arches and a neuroma). They’re also kind of funky, and fun!

I’ve been running in Brooks Ghost for years and these feel great. Shoe fits true to size but I always order a half size up because my feet need more room when I run. The vanilla sprinkle style is the cutest ever!

I bought the red plaid that looks like a buffalo plaid shirt. I LOVE them. Not just because they are cute and plaid, but also because they are so comfy and my toes have plenty of room.

I'm committed to Brooks Ghost. Initially I had trouble finding the Oyster (light) color in Version 12, but I'm very pleased. I enjoy bright colors in my running shoes but sometimes you need a more subtle look. Great cushioning. Will definitely be stocking up on this color.

While they fit a little tighter than other Brooks of the same size (I always order a half size up), I’m pleased with them. They are comfy and definitely perform like older ghost models. I have since ordered two other pairs.

The Ghost line of Brooks is amazing. I have worn the 9s, 10s and now 12s and they are all the perfect running shoe for me. The support is just enough for my flat feet. The cushion and support is perfect for a short run or a long distance run. They are so light. And the style this year is amazing. I love the solid bold color and the black speckled sole. I am so happy with the Ghost 12, I will definitely be buying another pair.

Yes, the Ghost 12 fits like the 10, I can finally stock up on shoes again. So happy Brooks fixed this shoe to be the amazing product it had been in the past(expect the Ghost 11). Great comfy on the bottom, good arch support, laces stay tied, and the color options this time are fantastic.

Since I bought my first pair of Brooks a few years ago, I haven't worn anything else. Great fit, comfort and style. This latest pair I have received tons of compliments! I love this style so much, I purchased 3 pairs the peach, blue and green with black speckled bottoms! You won't be disappointed. The Brooks ghost versions are my go to.

These are such light weight shoes. I love them. I do have one foot longer than the other so I'm hoping they stretch a bit . I really like an all white shoe but the purple accent is very nice.

These were a great update from the 11s, but they felt a little short in the toe box, but not so short that I'd need to go up half a size. They improved the heel cup as well for a more snug fit. They are similar to the Ghost 10s.

I got the sherbet pink shoes- even cuter in person!!! I LOVE them! I was nervous to try because I’ve always been an adrenaline style girl- I think I love these more!

My first experience with Brooks shoes and was very happy that they fit my foot so well. The wide toe box was appreciated and while I've only won them once so far, I think they will be a great shoe for walking on both level and uneven ground.

I tried size 8 Med. and 8.5 Med. before settling for an 8 Wide. I was 8.5 Med. in my Ghost 11's and was surprised to go down a half size since the reviews said they ran large. The 8 Medium's were too narrow and the 8.5 Med was way too long. I only tried running in the 8 Wide's once, but they feel like they're the ones. This is my second pair of Brooks and I'm now loyal to the brand.

Feel like maybe they are a half size small - I usually wear a 9.5 and these are a little snug, they have a giving material so I didn’t send them back or anything but if I had been in the store I might have gone with the 10. Usually I wear mizuno but this time Brooks.....I walk ~30 miles a week.

So I have never ran in Brooks before and figured it was time for me to try them out. I am one of those people that needs arch support so it can be a pain to find running shoes that first of all have arch support and secondly don’t have too much support where it ends up hurting the arches. I tried out the Launch 6 first because they had good reviews and some people mentioned the arch support being decent and the price of these was on the lower end. So I figured I’d give those a shot first. I ran in them twice (about 3.5 miles each time) and had to return them. The arch support wasn’t there and my ankles were hurting before the end of each run. I loved the look of the Ghost 12 and reviews were also great. Plus I read a few online reviews raving about them as well, so I tried these next. These shoes are great for me! Just enough arch support and they are super light weight. They feel like I’m running on a cloud. They are super cute too! I didn’t even realize when I bought them that they have these adorable laces too. But, the adorable laces are my one complaint about this shoe. They feel like a thin ribbon material and have no give to them. Very strange. Now that I’ve adjusted them a couple of times and got them to a comfortable spot, they are perfect. But I still don’t like the laces. They’re just weird but cute. Lol. I will definitely buy this shoe again but probably buy some replacement laces which is a shame. Maybe the next model will come with a decent lace.

I love Brooks Ghost and have run in them for many years. They are my go-to. These are a little "fru-fru" for me, but I bought them for the comfort. I've always heard to never buy your running shoes based on color, but wish there were better color options. My 6-year-old neighbor loves them. LOL My biggest complaint are the laces! Why would a running shoe have ribbon laces? They come untied every time I run, unless I triple-knot them! Wish they would have come with basic laces or a second lace option. :(

I am a huge Brooks fan and this was my 4th Ghost purchase. I currently have Ghost 11 in a size 6 , in fact I always wear a size 6 in Ghost, however these in a size 6 felt too snug on my foot.. always hurting. I am debating sizing up a 1/2 size. . .

Brooks has done it again! I think these shoes are better than the previous ghost 11 shoes. They seem to fit better and the style with the upper has less overlay so my feet feel cooler and also have more room to move around without feeling too cramped and not to loosey-goosey. I do wish the toe box was open a little bit more so that way it didn't take her in at a narrow point. It's definitely getting better from where it used to be.

Super cute shoe, but the limited arch support was too far back on my arch to feel comfortable. The overall fit was true to size/width. The shoe laces, which are like ribbons with metals ends, did not stay tied for me when tried them out inside.

I got these kicks back because they were super cute and adorable. I quickly learned that the silky shoelaces were really annoying because they came untied all the time. This morning they went from annoying to dangerous, as the left lace came loose during my run (but the double knot stayed intact), effectively creating a lasso for my right foot. I went down hard and shredded my palms and elbow. In short, avoid the silky shoelaces, because they make your adorable kicks turn into Murder Shoes.
