Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 12

Absolutely love these! Nice wide toe box that accommodates my mild bunion on one foot, no rubbing. Good cushion and support for me. I work in retail on a concrete floor 40 hours per week and these have been very comfortable. I now have three pairs I rotate through. Great shoe!

I FINALLY found "MY shoe"! I wore the Nike Airwalk white leather shoe for at least 20 years and was completely devastated when they quit making it! I bought every pair I could find at that time just to keep me going until I could find another shoe that works for me. This has been a LONG search and ever so frustrating! I like a simple (none of these new wild things) shoe that is ultra comfortable. I have a pretty high arch so I need some good arch support. The Brooks Ghost 12 fits like a glove. There is no way to describe how the Brooks shoe just fits and conforms to your foot so wonderfully. I'm super pleased with Zappos and their quick shipping and excellent (easy to use) return policy. I just wish Brooks made a leather shoe that was just as comfortable, I'll keep searching for that option. But for now, I'm a huge Brooks and Zappos fan!

Love them! Went from well worn Ghost 9s to these. Perfect fit and cushioning, no break in period. They’re perfect.

I bought these for my daughter for her birthday. She just started running and wanted a pair of Brooks. Seeing that I buy the Brooks Ghost , she thought she would try them , too. She is a 7-1/2 or 8 and went with the 8. She said they were perfect!

When my feet broke up with the Saucony Ride's, the Ghost has become my go to shoe. In the last two years, I've had two pair each of the 10s and 11s and just received the 12s. As I have high arches I do have to use a good insert with all of my running shoes regardless of the brand. I love that I can wear these right out of the box. I love the gray periwinkle purple color.

After wearing Altras for a few years, I returned to Brooks about six months ago with the Dyad 10. Comfortable room in a rounded toe box is a must for me. The Dyad 10 are great for walking and daily wear, but I wanted to have a bit more bounce and running feeling to my shoes. I ordered the Ghost 12 in gray and wore them all day yesterday....LOVE them! LONG walk/jog with the dog, running errands, walking around art fair, and I woke this morning feeling great! No adjustment period needed to feel good in the Ghost 12, and I never had a problem with the long shoestrings staying tied (double-knotted as always for me). Ordered my usual athletic shoe size too. Thanks for these beautiful super-comfortable shoes, Brooks!

I love these! I have a terrible time finding shoes that don’t hurt my in some way or the other. These were comfortable right out of the box. Plus I can remove the inserts and put in my custom orthotics. Probably purchase another color soon.

I have narrow heels and high arches and have always worn Power Steps. When I received these I threw them in my suitcase with out putting the Power Steps in! Of course I ran anyway and felt like I almost didn't even need them. I used to wear Brooks when running marathons. So glad I'm back in them.

Extremely true to size and comfortable!

This is my second pair of the Brooks Ghost Woman’s shoe. I love the fit and comfort. I also love the color combination (Black/ burgundy). I have orthotics that were made for me by my Podiatrist so I insert these into the shoes. They work well with these shoes. I took the footbed out as it created too much in the arch area . However I bought a pair of flat neoprene liners to give me the added protection to the footbed. I was surprised that I needed a wide and went from my typical 9.5 in my old ASICS to a 10 wide. However, it is obvious that this is what I needed with these Brook Ghost shoes. The orthotics were made to correct pronation issues. The Podiatrist observed my walking in these and said that I was now walking correctly. No more ankle pain! I love these shoes!

I love the Brooks Ghost! I walk a lot. I have wide feet & have broken my foot in the past. This shoe seems to give me enough support yet stretch that I need.

Love these shoes. I had to go up half a size because of the cushy heel collar (which I love) and they feel like clouds when I run. I can’t wait to order another pair just like these when they come back in stock.

I bought these for my wife and she absolutely loves them. She is a big fan of Brooks shoes and the color of these is what caught her attention. The shoes are great but the overall Zappos experience is even better. Next day delivery? For free? Outstanding!

Love these Ghost 12 Shoes! I take a Wide......hard to find a great shoe in wide with!! My only complaint is that they don’t come in any FUN Colors. Brooks please listen!!

The best sneakers I’ve ever purchased. So comfortable and just the perfect amount of support.

These shoes are well padded but supportive. They were comfortable right from the start. The toe box is a bit roomier than the Cascadias I bought. In short, I love these shoes!

This are by far my most favorite pair of running shoe.. Ghost 11 was great these are even better!!!!totally recommend 5 stars I run 5 miles a day that are awesome!!!!!

Very comfortable tennis shoe. They have good arch support and roomy toe area.

The Show is very comfortable. It easily accommodates my orthotics and the cushion is great. More toe room than the Ghost 11. Thank you Brooks for another Great shoe.

I love the seamless sides and toe box. First sneaker in a long time that actually had the arch support in the right place for me. I purchased the wide fit, but it doesn't really feel wider than regular fit. I have to loosen the laces quite a bit, so there is barely enough lace to tie. Nevertheless, I really like these shoes, they are comfortable, light-weight, and good looking.

I have used the Ghost 10 and 11's in a size 10W. For the Ghost 12 I am a 10.5 B (regular width). I haven't gained any weight so as to make me go up a size (actually lost 20 pounds since I bought the Ghost 11s). Not sure if this is how the Ghost 9's fit because a lot of reviews here say the Ghost 12's fit like the Ghost 9's. Its a wonderful shoe that I use every day for work related reasons since I am on my feet all day. I use custom orthodics and these shoes do the trick. I also like that this model is available is in all black which allows me to be somewhat "business casual" at work. It may take a few tries, but this shoe is worth it.

I chose these shoes because I have a low arch and many shoes have a big arch support which digs into my arch and it's quite irritating. These have a neutral arch which is perfect for me. I also like the option to get these in wide. I don't really need a wide but I like the extra room. I don't really like the look of these shoes but the comfort and quality are good so I am happy with them.

Recently switched from Asic Gel Kayano/Nimbus/Cumulus on recommendation of my local running shop. Have heel spur and problems with feet cramping. After putting on Brooks Ghost 12 at the running shop to "trial", my feet almost immediately felt better. Seems the toe is more rounded for me to provide toes room to move. The padding was excellent to cushion my heel spur. I believe I will not stay with Brooks as I feel Asic Gels have changed, and not for the better for my feet conditions. I bought 3 pairs of Brooks Ghost 12. I love and appreciate Zappos and their quality customer service and return policy. Most of my shoes are bought from Zappos. I would certainly recommend Asic Gel lovers to trial Brooks Ghost 12. Also love the color combos and white sneakers over Asic Gel color combos.

First pair of Brooks; replacing New Balance Fresh Foams that cost about the same. Brooks recommended by physical therapist because of higher toe to heel drop; good to help Achilles Tendonitis heal. I usually wear a 10 in dress shoes and a 10.5 in running shoes - the 10.5 fit perfectly. Nice amount of cushion but light-weight so they don't feel too "slow." Toe box is comfortable. Only have had them for 2 weeks so can't comment yet on durability.

I haven't purchased tennis shoes in quite a while due to neck surgeries. These are so stinking cute and after walking a mile a day for 3 days now, I can say they are very comfortable with lots of support. I love Brooks shoes to begin with but these are my fave so far.
