I love the Brooks Ghost, I've been wearing them for about 7 years. Light, fitted, perfect about of cushion. I'm so glad the 12 is blue and not pink and black!!! It's one of the only shoes still made in narrow, please don't stop making it!

At 71 years of age, my old favorite walking shoes were no longer comfortable. I tend to supinate and do not need much arch support. After numerous tries of most brands, I found Brooks Ghost 12. In the beginning it felt the least uncomfortable of all the shoes I had tried, and believe me...I've tried them ALL! I found the Ghost 12 a delight to wear along with a rainbow of colors that work with my wardrobe. I now have five pairs of Ghost 12...two pair in peacoat, two pair in silver and one in black. I wear them everyday and everywhere...except to church on Sundays. I also like buying from Zappos...great customer service and variety of athletic shoes. Try them for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

Really like this shoe! Although Brooks Adrenaline GTS is often recommended for those who suffer from plantar fasciitis, I think the Ghost provides slightly more support and stability. Roomy toe box too!

Love them! I wore them for a 12 mile run out of the box and they felt good. I typically prefer shoes without much cushion, but since I'm training for a marathon I have to embrace a bit more "chunk". These are also super cute. I occasionally size up in running shoes but I've found not necessary for Brooks.

I loved, loved, loved the Brooks 11 and was worried I wouldn't like these given they changed the fit. They are a little different, but I still love them. They are super comfortable, no slippage in the heel, lots of space in the toe, but slightly longer than the 11s they replaced.

I run and walk regularly and have had the brooks glycerin shoes for the past two years. The ghosts are very nice and worth the money. The difference between the two styles is that the ghosts provide more stability, but I do love the cushion of the glycerins. Both great shoes depending on what you need. Also, I have had New Balance, Nike, Asics--I always have to order a half size up in the Brooks. Thirty years of running (for love of running, I am not a racer)--Brooks are the best.

I ordered these and a new pair of the Ravenna’s to compare (which I have had several pairs of). I was looking for something with a little more support. I ended up keeping these. They feel great and I liked the look more. After a couple of weeks of wearing them I feel like the fabric on the top has become looser and less supportive. I’ve tightened the laces and will keep running but too soon to tell how they will hold up long term.

I have very high arches and have had issues with plantar fasciitis. This shoes really help when combined with the Vionic Active arch support. I am glad they don't change them around constantly like Asics do. When I start noticing my feet or knees bothering me I know its time to get a new pair. They last me anywhere between 6-12 months depending on how much I am exercising and how often I wear them. They are so comfortable that I use them as an everyday shoe for walking around in addition to exercising.

These are my second pair of Brooks running shoes and they're the best! I still have my other pair but use those for outside work and sports. I used to swear by Nike and only wear those but I will never go back. Brooks girl for life! Brooks never disappoints.

Perfect fit! I've been wearing Brooks Ghost for years and still love them. Plenty of arch support, cushioning, and a roomy toe box. I love the new plaid pattern!

Just the right balance between cushion and responsiveness. Had been struggling with speed work and these really helped! As usual with brooks, no break in period.

I have been wearing Brooks Ghost shoes for years! I like the Ghost 12 model more than the 11. It seems to have more cushioning and the overall fit reminds me of the ghost 10. This is a great shoe! I always wear a size 8 in the ghost shoes and this one was no different. Runs true to size! I highly recommend this shoe! It is my favorite for running!

I have been a long time Brooks customer and bounced around between the Ghost and Glycerin, depending on how they have change the fit. This new pair of Ghost 12's are true to the previous models. For me, the toe box is not molded to my toes and the heel cup is snug, but not not constrictive. The cushioning is definitely present and a welcome return to what I have loved about this model in the past, but switched when it was changed. within the footbed there is a welcome support. Not too keen on the colors, but it was not a deal breaker. Have run and walked on these for 3 days (3-5 miles) with no aches or pains. Highly recommend!!

Great shoe! This is the second pair I’ve ordered in 3 months because I love them so much. I had been struggling with knee issues since taking up running and I think it had to do with my shoe choice. These sneakers are comfortable and provide great support. No more knee issues!

I've been wearing the Brooks Ghost series since the 7 came out. Just received my Ghost 12 today and they are even more comfortable than my Ghost 11. These sneakers provide great support and they last. I'm hooked for life!

I’ve been wearing Brooks Glycerin for years now, but they have been hurting my feet lately. A friend at the gym told me that she noticed that the Ghost version was way more cushioned and made her foot feel more balanced and neutral. I’m glad I tried them because they fit perfectly and my feet are finally comfortable again. I did go to a wide and up a half a size because my old pair felt like my toes were getting squished in front. I seem to have a wider toe width and higher arch so the shift in size helped! Wear thicker socks if they seem loose. I can’t recommend these enough!

I have wide feet and high arches and these accommodate both challenges very well. These shoes are nice and cushiony and great for running. The footbed is less cushiony than the heel area and they do sit a little lower on the heel than other shoes, but these are still the best running shoes I've found for my feet.

I currently own a pair of men’s Levitate 9.5. Bought them from Brooks on sale. Was time for a new pair. After putting these Ghost 12 women’s size 11 on (the light green color) my first thought was “Holy cow! These are like walking on a cloud!” And they are so pretty! Fun color! I don’t have quite the room in them as the men’s 9.5. My toes feel a bit too close to the front of the shoe. But they didn’t have an 11.5 Women’s available so I took my chances. The width, however, is perfect. I’ll be using these as my workout shoes. I am going to love working out in these!
