These shoes felt great right out of the box! I have a wide forefoot And narrow heel, and this shoe fit perfectly. I sized up 1/2 a size to give my toes a little extra room, but the shoes are true to size. Extremely comfortable shoe and also looks great.
I'd also recommend:
My previous running shoes were New Balance, which I also liked.

I am very happy overall with these sneakers. They are stylish, comfortable and provide great support while running.
I am usually a size 10.5/11 and had to return the 10.5 and order 11s. Even with that, I probably could’ve gone 1/2 size bigger for more room in the toe area.
I did purchase orthotics from the podiatrist (not custom) and inserted them into these sneakers, and have had a great experience thus far. I would recommend them to others, especially if they need stability in their shoe.

I am very pleased with these shoes. They are the most comfortable athletic shoe I have ever worn. I have arthritis in the joint of my big toe and these shoes do not bother the joint at all. There is enough space in the width to accommodate the the somewhat swollen joint and I can wear them all day. I wear a size 7 medium width shoe.

They fit exactly like my Ghost 10's. True to size however I always go up 1/2 size in running shoes. After reading reviews about how the ghost 11 didn't fit the same as the 10's I immediately bought a second pair of the Ghost 12's. Thrilled with the fit!

Great shoe. I have the Brooks Ghost 11 and they were great. The Ghost 12 in white/purple laces feels the same and fits great. Happy with purchase.

I am typically a 7.5 in Brooks however this one feels a big snug so I am returning for an 8. I have an *extremely* high arch and Brooks are the only shoe that can accommodate it without giving me severe knee or lower back pain.

These fit just as well as my Ghost 11s. I have narrow feet with arthritis in big toe joint so I wear an orthotic. With these shoes, I’m still able to run and I also wear them for long walks/hikes on trails. So happy and grateful that Brooks makes a shoe in a narrow!

I love these shoes. I have really high arches and most shoes are painful to run in. Brooks is my go-to and the Ghost 12 is second in comfort only to the Ghost 10. Great shoe!

Great!! So comfy and so light. I normally wear a 7/7.5 and an 8 in sneaks. Got an 8. I’m a nurse and love these! Wear them for work and my feet do well. No back or knee pain either. At the end of the day nothing is going to make up for being on our feet all day but these help! Love the navy/pink color.

I was looking for blue shoes. I ordered the Tempest/Ebony/Kentucy Blue. Unfortunately, they are definitely a medium grey with light blue details. The color on my screen looked blue. I am a size 8 but I almost always need an 8 1/2 in athletic shoes and that was the case here. They have a good, wide toe box, which I need especially in the Medium width. I like the way they look and feel and plan to re order in a blue color if I can find it.

FANTASTIC!!! These fit just like the Ghost 11! I am so happy Brooks makes these. I need a narrow-width running shoe for a neutral running style. These also have a removable insole so I can put my orthotic in underneath the Brooks insole. Many, many shoe companies do not make a narrow width. Thank you to Brooks for doing so and PLEASE continue.

I wear a 7.5 to 8 in regular shoes but I have been buying Brooks Ghost runners for years in 9. Fits great but I definately size up. This shoe has a wide toe box which works well for me as I have a Morton's Neroma in one foot. Very comfortable shoes for any athletic activity.

I really like the color of this shoe, but it felt a bit wide on the toe area. I tried getting a Narrow width, but it was not in stock.

It is my second pair of Ghost 12, and the first time any pair of Ghost felt very snug and slightly uncomfortable. It may have to do with the material the upper is made of on this particular color, it looks and feels very different from last July’s pair. I’m hoping they will ease up before too long.

My podiatrist clued me in on Brooks Ghosts. I am a teacher and I exercise frequently so I am hard on my feet. I also have high arches, so I need arch support and cushioning. I love these shoes. I wear them to school because they are comfortable and I like the way they look. I trade the insert for one with a little more arch support. I also buy Hoka Ona Cliftons from Zappos for running. They are amazing as well, but not as good looking.

Love these shoes so far! The narrow is still a little bit wide for my super narrow feet, but they're still comfortable.

These are my fourth pair of Brook Ghosts. I had just ordered a new pair a week before, and when I saw this pattern, I had to have it.
I think they will be fun to wear. This style and Brand have really helped my 69 year old feet get thru the day. I seriously hope they don't change the shoe like in the previous reviews I've read. Leave a good thing alone, Brooks!! 100% satisfied.

Great fit and so comfortable. I’ve been a diehard New Balance running shoe wearer for years and Brooks Ghost were recommended to me. Love the white option for spring/summer.

LOVE these shoes. I usually buy the Brooks Addiction but thought I would give these a try. SO comfortable. I always go up a 1/2 size in athletic shoes which was a good decision on these. I have a narrow heel and these were true to the width. I bought the Peacoat/Blue/ Aqua which is a very versatile color and cute! Looking forward to warmer weather so I can wear them instead of boots.

I really enjoy this product. It was Recommended to me by a tennis pro. The christening is fantastic. I did have to order it a half a size larger and in wide but with that, the shoe fits great. The cushion is great, especially on my heel. My feet are shaped sort of like a rectangle and I find the mash the top is made of comfortably flexible.
