I came back to Brooks Ghost based on the good reviews. I am not disappointed. I used them to run, walk for hours in a museum, and waiting on line for over an hour to get into the US passport office. They were comfortable, roomy, supportive and good for running and walking. Ordered a 1/2 size up, usually a 7.5, ordered these in 8. I am so happy with them.

I bought these as a Christmas present for my wife, since she's been dying for a pair of Ghost 12's. She is absolutely in love with the color and the design. She took them out for a run and said they were super comfy and a lot lighter than the Asics she's been running in. 5 star shoes that I would buy again.

This is my second pair of Brooks. My first pair was Ghost 11 and I think these are a better fit. I read the reviews and apparently lots of Brooks fans like this version. Add me to the list!

At long last a shoe that fits. I have sent back 6 running shoes because the toe box was too narrow in the medium width (note I am a true medium not a wide). This fits. My toes are comfortable. I did not have to struggle to put them on. I will be buying more of this style even though the style are not particularly attractive.

I ordered these shoes when I was in the midst of a long bout with plantar fasciitis. The pain in my feet was so bad I could barely walk and I even went to urgent care about it. They told me to get more supportive shoes, like Brooks or Asics. I tried both and this was the winner. After reading reviews, I sized up a half-size and that was a perfect fit. Between these and another pair of shoes I bought at the same time (New Balance 1165), I've been wearing them every day and my plantar fasciitis has completely gone away! It helps that the Brooks Ghost 12 are attractive, too. I got the Zappos birthday edition (so cute!), then ordered the vanilla sprinkles and gray and peach pair. LOVE these shoes.

These were a gift for my sister who used to sell sporting goods and had tried all kinds of athletic shoes. She put them on right out of the box and walked over five miles in them yesterday. It was her first pair of Brooks and she said they were the best shoes she ever wore! Thanks, Brooks, for making me look smart to give them!

I love these shoes, they definitely have their own look. It sets me apart from others. I feel good wearing them, they could have better arch support, but I love the shoe overall!

Have been used to ghost 10's and ready for new ones when i read some reviews on the 11's! So i passed. Now i have read the 12's reviews and so many people feel that they are so similar to the 10's! That made me go ahead and purchase the 12's . i really like them so far so i will purchase another pair to have on hand because brooks will PROBABLY remove this good one when they make the 13's, right everyone?

I have worn Brooks through training for two marathons. These shoes don't disappoint. The toe box is roomy, and arches are well supported. I like the Ghost 12 better than the Ghost 11 for roominess.

i went from Ghost 10 to Ghost 12 with no issues! They seem quite similar in fit when i do my walking and when i just wear them as my shoe for the day. I will probably purchase another spare pair or 2 since Brooks will most likely change their fit/sizing just as i get used to how these feel. Will stash for a 'rainy' day!

The fit was great but the size was tricky I had to exchange - best shoes every but for a high arch you need to buy special orthotics for long runs and walks - but that’s just me for - doesn’t have to apply to everyone my friend has them as well and doesn’t use any soles

Have almost worn out my Ghost 10’s. Wondered if these would be as comfortable. Wow am I happy. They are more comfortable and have better support then my 10’s. Wear a 7 narrow.

Like running on pillows but with excellent support! I’m flat footed with a heavy foot strike - they offer the support I need but are light- ?? them

My wife loved getting her first ‘running’ shoes, not some cool looking Nike off the shelf. Ice cream color way is on point

Fit is good, like the other Ghost 12s. Unfortunately as other reviewers have noted the laces are HORRIBLE. Whilst cute, I should have ordered a different color scheme because the ribbon laces are pretty bad. I only cross train in them because running just doesn’t work.
