Love the style and color. Ample room in toe box and socks don’t slide down back of shoe.

Great shoes. Very comfy AND still has good arch support. That's a hard to find combination. Just wish the toe was a little more reinforced - seems like that's the first thing that wears out in these Brooks shoes.

I always order a half size larger in workout shoes so these are perfect. I only wear Brooks because they give me a lot of support. The only negative (and it's minor) is that the pretty laces are ribbons so they don't stay tied. I did have to buy a new pair of laces but other than that, I highly recomment

I use orthotic, and with this, the fit is fine. I am 7 shoe but always wear 7.5 in Brooks.

If you are in need of a soft, pillowy neutral shoe these are it! If you have heel pain these shoes are the bomb diggity. Soft, supportive and just right. I've worn the adrenaline gts for several years but my feet ached all the time after the last 2 pairs. Tried the ghosts for something new and won't go back to the adrenaline. Love these!

Oh boy, I have a new favorite sneaker brand. I have been dedicated to New Balance for years, no - decades. I never knew about Brooks until a FB friend mentioned them, and gosh her new sneakers were so cute with the 'sprinkles' I thought I'd give them a try. I have tried so many other brands, styles of sneakers, alas nothing else was as comfortable as my go-to NB. I was tired of trying and constantly being disappointed. I LOVE these sneakers! Great support, comfort, and hallelujah for cute feminine sneakers in a size 12.

The first time I wore these I wasn’t sold after having the Ghost 9 and 11. I gave them another chance and I’m glad I did. By the third time they were my same comfortable Ghost
With my wide feet and extremely high arches they have been the best shoe for me. I buy them in black for work.
I'd also recommend:
Saucony

I have trouble with my feet, plantar fasciitis and general pain but these shoes are super comfortable! The day I got them in the mail I put them on and went out and did errands and my feet didn’t hurt the whole time. Now, I want to wear them all the time! I ordered a size 10, which I have always worn but, I found that they were a tiny bit snug on me. The 10.5 is perfect! I gave them four stars for overall look because I wish they would make a solid black that you could wear to work and in professional settings. They’re that comfy and supportive that I want to wear them to work every day. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy these again.

I am very pleased with my new Ghost 12. They are supportive, comfortable, and yet are very cushioned. I chose the gray/violet color. I think they are very attractive! Happy feet, happy me! :)

I normally wear a size 8, & typically wear an 8.5 in running shoes, so I was unsure whether to go with the recommended size 9. Since returns are a breeze, I went with the 9 & am happy with the fit. I have bunions, and the wide toe box is very comfortable. Love the color! My only complaint is that the back of my heel doesn’t fit snugly down into the back of the shoe. It’s a little too high, so feels like it slips a bit when I’m walking. I may try some orthotic inserts to alleviate this, but it’s certainly not an issue for which I’d return the shoe.

I had multiple pairs of Ghost 10s. Unfortunately these, Ghost 12 in graphite are not as wide. Oddly, the white/grey/hollyhock in 8.5D are as wide and comfortable as before. Same shoe, same size, just different color-why do they fit differently? Also, someone commented that they are more of a lilac; they are not. They are grey, possibly a slightly purplish grey, but not lilac or lavender-just grey, like they appear on my computer monitor. I'd buy more pairs if there were other pretty colors in wide widths. The "confetti" color says its in wide, but I keep checking and no one has it. Make more wide colors, please!

I also had multiple pairs of Ghost 10s. This pair, Ghost 12 in white, grey, hollyhock is nearly the same. Comfortable everywhere! Wide enough (D) ! And for a change in a nice light color scheme! Why can't those of us with unfortunately wide feet get more pretty colors? We don't always want black or some other dark color. How about the "Confetti" color, supposedly comes in wide but I cant find it anywhere so that doesn't work. I also got these in the granite, peacoat, peach in a D width and it feels less wide that these. Same size should fit the same. So, great shoe. Make better colors and I'd buy more.

I love these! I loved the Ghost 10 and had a few pairs. I tried the Ghost 11 and they weren't as comfy as the 10. The Ghost 12 is super comfy and feels a lot like the 10. I highly recommend these!!!

The ghost never disappoints! I've been wearing them since the 8's and i just love them for long easy runs. So cushioned and just seem to be getting better and better!

My favorite stand by. Brooks Ghost. Sometimes they change and they’re not so good. Most of the time they are awesome. Not only are these EXCELLENT, but they are SO DARN CUTE !! Knocked the ball out of the park with these, Brooks !

I have both the ghost 11 and 12; they are both excellent shoes. I have neuropathy and my balance is off. I have tried many shoes and these are the only ones that I can walk a long distance without falling.

I'll admit I wasn't ready for a new pair of running sneaks, but with a name like Vanilla with Sprinkles I couldn't resist. They are everything Brooks Ghost have always been for me - great right from the box!!
I'd also recommend:
only Brooks for running!!

This is my first pair of Brooks and have to say...the most comfortable of shoes I have ever worn. My foot runs narrow. So I ordered the narrows and the reg. They seemed identical to me...the regular maybe a little narrower. Seemed strange but that is the way they looked. I have a high arch...these are the best.
