I’m thrilled with these shoes! I was looking for a new running shoe since I wasn’t pleased with the newer Hokas. These are extremely cushioned and comfortable, very lightweight.

I absolutely love these shoes. I'm heavy on my feet and as an ICU nurse I'm up and moving at least 12 hours during my shifts. I couldn't ask for a better shoe.

Boy am I glad I took a chance on these Brooks Ghost again. Had a pair of Ghost 6 that I only just recently let go. In the interim (few years) I purchased some of the other Ghost models, and never kept even one. This model is the best ever. I purchased the “sprinkles” color — WAY too cute ! I ordered a spare pair. Thank goodness Brooks got it right again!!

After much searching, I think I found my sneaker! These are so comfy as well as light and good looking. I wore Hokas for many years but lately had been dissatisfied, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these will be my new go-to's!

Finally! Por fin! The search is over after trying so many different brands and styles. I found what I need it for my troubled feet. I wear 6.5 but I've gotten to size them up to 7 since they are running a tad short. I am not a runner. I am a teacher with weak ankles and peripheral nephropathy so for me cushion and support are a must. I tried Adrenaline, but they didn't work for me. Thank you Zappos for your incredible service, and patience (many returns).

I love the Brooks Ghost line. I've been running in them for over 4 years and each year I get the latest generation and I have liked them all. I have wide feet and they have a wide toe box that fits me perfectly without having to get the wide width. I'm not usually a fan of the colors although with the Ghost 12 I got the blue color and really like how simple they are. Just blue and black...not a lot of crazy designs or colors.

I absolutely love these sneakers. Ghost have always been my favorite but this new style is amazing. I have a wide toe base and other sneakers tend to cramp my toes; however, the Ghost 12 have plenty of room for my toes and are super comfortable. I am going to buy a few more pairs :)

Usually wear a 10, these run a but small and narrow. Sent back and got the 10.5 wide and they’re perfect. Like strapping clouds to my feet. I already ordered a second pair! They look pretty nice, the mesh looks slightly cheap for the price but for the fit and comfort I don’t care! Thanks, Brooks, for carrying this atypical size!

Love the Ghosts, agree that 10 and 12 are more similar. I always search for shoes that are wider because my forefoot gets numb in more narrow shoes-- never in Ghosts!

Love the Ghost 12! They are similar to the Ghost 10, which I loved. I didn't like the Ghost 11because my feet didn't feel as secure/stable with running, like they were a little loose in the width and the fabric was flimsy. My feet are extremely secure and comfortable in the 12's.

This is a shoe made for me. Absolutely perfect for my size 12's. Cannot say enough good things about it. Brooks is my go to shoe and I could not be more pleased. When I got home from a 2 week trip where I wore the shoes everyday, I came home and ordered another pair, just in case. Cannot recommend this shoe enough, plus, Zappos incredible customer service. I would give this shoe a 5+ if I could.

I have been a Nike Vomero wearer for a decade or more because of the night, wide toe box. Recently that changed and they seemed to get tighter. In comes the Brook’s Ghost 12 and I am once again in love! Fit great, nice, wide toe box but still narrow on arch and heel. A long distance runner’s dream!

I've been a fan of Brooks Ghosts for about 7 years now. The Ghost 12s do not disappoint! Love the support, the fit, the comfort and the style. Got the black/hollyhock and love them. I'd recommend for beginning to intermediate runners who like a lot of cushion. They feel amazing.

Had to return as they were too similar in color to other sneaks previously purchased really a comfortable shoe which I will probably reorder in another color.

I am very happy with these shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box. I went running in them and my foot was supported and steady, no sliding forward or in the heel. And I love the periwinkle blue color, too. Great shoes!

These shoes feel great! Wore them all day long and they were like a long lost friend. I had the Ghost 11 and loved them too. Purchased the all black to wear on a trip to Italy And for my daily walks and they should be perfect.

Perfect size and fit. This was my first pair of Brooks shoes. The Ghost 12 was recommended by a friend. This is a great neutral shoe that is both stylish and well-cushioned for a comfortable fit. These shoes were made for a gym workout without discomfort or pinching.

Love these shoes. I had to adjust size since I have been wearing different socks. I tried many Brooks versions and this one felt best. They feel good walking and standing - cushion and support. I would prefer longer laces for my high instep and wider feet but that is a minor issue.
