Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 12

Having narrow feet is an expensive proposition. Brooks has always been true to size with extra room in the toe area.

I have worn Brooks Ghost for years. It is the only running shoe I will wear. This is my favorite shoe that Brooks puts out. I upgrade just about once a year or so depending on how many miles I have put on them. I recently just did my first 1/2 marathon in Ghost 11 (and they were great) and decided to order a new pair. I bought the green Ghost 12 and they are beautiful. Every new pair seems to be better then the last. I feel that they fit true to size. Looking forward to more races in them!

Fit just like I expected. Very similar to the Ghost 10 which is much better than the Ghost 11. Love the color! You can wear them right out of the box with super comfort and support. And honestly, who doesn't love a pink show! Highly recommend the Ghost 12.

These shoes are like walking on a cloud. Even without my orthotics they are amazingly comfortable.

Great shoe! It has been awhile since I have run in Brooks Ghosts-I alternate with ASICS, but was disappointed with my last ASICS cumulus shoe. These shoes were great right out of the box! Lots of support & cushion, especially in the heel. I ordered a half size up, but don’t think I needed to do this. They are true to size, if not a little generous.

These shoes were a perfect fit right out of the box. I'm not a runner, but I"m constantly on my feet at work. I had no need for a break-in period. They are so comfortable that I didn't bother using my custom-made orthotics with them.

These shoes are so lightweight and comfortable. The first day I wore them I was on my feet for 13 hours walking around the State Fair for about 6 miles. My feet felt great when we got home. I can't wait to try them out running but I feel certain they will be amazing.

HUGE improvement over the Ghost 11 for those of us who need a wide toe box. The 11 is a little more pointed and squished my toes; I developed blisters on the sides. Not so with the 12's; they fit more like the 10's. I walk 5 - 7 miles every day so that little change is really important. Great shoes.

FINALLY, an athletic shoe that fits! I’ve come to the conclusion that we wear the size and width that the manufacturers say we do , regardless of fittings at Fleet Feet or any of the other stores. This shoe is a full size larger than my street shoe size, ( thank you, other reviewers) but it fits like a glove with no heel slippage or extra toe room (which frequently happens when you size up). They are cushioned enough for my aging feet while not feeling too squishy for agility in the gym. Comfort is very subjective, so reviews did help, but it still took several orders and returns to get exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, Zappos, for not firing me as a customer! And thank you, Brooks, for making this shoe.

Fabulous runners. Wearing everyday and on tread and with strength training. Can't go wrong with Brooks !! quality thru and thru. Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month too !!! size is true; 7 1/2 in runners. Love my Brooks Ghost .

I have recently began running and I noticed my shins were constantly aching. A friend suggested I get a better pair of running shoes and whoa! What a difference! These shoes are comfortable and cushioned. Absolutely a dream on my feet. True to size so I’d definitely recommend.

I've had several pairs of Brooks & the Ghost is definitely my favorite in terms of comfort

Perfect - size, cushiness - just what I was hoping for.

Super cute and glad they came in narrow so they had a good fit.

Love the new blue, peach and green colors! The shoe fits very comfortably with a lot of support and nice amount of room in the toe area. I wear a 9.5 in most sneakers, but might go up to a 10 in these. They are just a slight bit shorter, but not much. I ordered all 3 new colors to check them out and they are true to what is shown online. The black speckled soles are great for not showing dirt and really make the colors stand out.

After being an Asics girl for 10 years, I had to switch because they rudely stopped making 2A narrow sneakers in sizes above 9 - as if women with long feet must also have wide feet. Not so, and I was happy to find these Brooks in a 10.5 2A narrow. I have been so thrilled with these shoes. They are light, comfortable, and just the right width. I ran both a PR 5k and 10k in them just a few weeks after purchasing. I will definitely be buying Brooks again!!!

I had just about given up on finding a shoe to replace my current, worn down, torn up shoes. I even tried a different style of Brooks, but had no luck until the Brooks Ghost 12. My first walk was about 2 miles, and, while my right shoe was fine, the left shoe seemed like it needed a bit more padding in the ball of my foot. I also noticed the traction, as there was a definite scritch-scratch sound when walking. No splippin of my heel, which is wonderful. Second walk was longer, and there was no discomfort anywhere on either foot. Absolutely perfect, and better than the shoes they are replacing. So glad I tried them, as they are worth every penny.

Great fit

This is my second pair of Ghost 12s I have purchased this summer. I can wear them all day even after having bunion surgery in July. I ordered a half size larger than my typical size and they fit perfectly.

I have neuromas and had bunion surgery 7/19 so I ordered several different brands and styles of sneakers from Zappos. This was a great purchase. I have now ordered another Ghost 12 in all black. I wear size 8 Wide in most shoes but ordered 8.5 Wide in these and they fit perfectly. I can wear these shoes all day (school librarian). I am still dealing with some swelling from the bunion surgery but I can make it through a day at school with no problem.

Ghost is my favorite running shoes, I have run out 1 pair of 10, 2 pairs of 11, and just got a pair of 12. They are the best long distance running shoes!

I found these comfortable out of the box. The laces annoy me as they are thin and come untied. So cute, so they are keepers for me.

I have a lot of trouble with my feet. They are VERY narrow and slip around in most shoes when I try to work out. This shoe came in narrow, so I gave it a try. It is REALLY comfortable and actually kinda cute. It give great support. I wear it for step class or kickboxing class and it works beautifully. The heel is narrow enough for me, which is rare, but the toe box has some room which I like in a workout shoe. As far as arch support goes, I always remove the insert that comes with athletic shoes and replace it with my orthotics.

These are the most comfortable sneakers I’ve worn in years. I have all sorts of foot issues and these just work for me. I ordered a full size larger and in a wide to accommodate a wider forefoot. Can’t rave about these enough!

I loved the look of the pink melts, and the shoe laces are adorable- but they are a ribbon and do not want to stay tied! I ended up having to double knot them so they wouldn’t come untied every five minutes. Other than that, a great shoe, very comfortable to work retail in 40 hours a week on concrete. They feel snug but not right, and give good support while having comfortable cushion. I average 8-9 miles of walking during an 8 hour shift and these are my go to shoe.
