Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 12

Love Ghost 12, this is my second pair. The ribbon laces do not stay tied so I called Brooks customer service and they are sending me replacement laces. Otherwise. I would have sent them back. I’m now a happy customer!!!

I’m a Nurse on my feet 12+ hours and have had my share of different shoes and have found the Brooks to be extremely comfortable right out of the box. Based on other reviews, I went up a 1/2 size (from a 10 to 10.5) and they fit perfectly! As always, Zappos is amazing!

My Vanilla Sprinkles Ghost 12 shoes are perfect. Sizing is exactly right. Use of color makes for a happy, fun shoe. I love it.

I ordered up a 1/2 size as I have a thick bamboo full size orthotic and was worried that it would not work in the toe box if I got the usual size 10. It was just perfect for me and provides alot of stability. My foot is almost a AAA and I am thrilled to have something that looks like it will finally work.

As other have stated, I've held on to my Ghost 10s as the 11 did not get good reviews. The Ghost 12 are back on track. Great cushioning for my walk/jog dailys and treadmill workouts. As always, I have to size 1/2 up (6.5 up to 7) in Brooks. No problem.

I have worn Brooks Ghost for a long time. They have set questions for you to answer to find the best kind for your feet, and it works for me. Like most other running shoes, they are not gorgeous (in my eyes), but I don't buy them for looks. I assume the "style" category is what this is referring to.

I like these shoes...Ghost 12. First time I wore the the shoe..they hurt my neuroma (pain under toe area)..but in the days since it has resolved. Nice looking. ?

I love these shoes. I have trouble finding tennis shoes that don't have at least one trouble spot. These are perfect for me and I can wear them all day comfortably. I've finally found tennis shoes that offer all I hoped for. The one negative is that they recommend hand washing, but I can live with that because of the comfort.

I love love love my Brooks Ghost 12's. I got the Kentucky/Blue/Grey--they are definitely more grey than blue, but still really cute. This was my third (fourth?) pair, and I'm going back for another (always stock up on running shoes that fit perfectly--you never know when the manufacturers change things up and its never the same...). I need a larger toe box and this one provides without being too roomy. I have a generally neutral stride with a tendency to sometimes overpronate. These work great for my stride.

Love love love Brooks Ghost shoes for working out. I always dread getting a new pair each year just because it's hard to go from broken in shoes to new ones. Compared to the Ghost 11 I felt like the Ghost 12 ran a tiny bit smaller. They fit more like my Ghost 10 in length and the front toe area seems and looks wider than the Ghost 11, again more like the Ghost 10. The tongue seems to really stick out above the laces a lot, which isn't a super big deal just different than previous pairs. The cushioning in these shoes is amazing and after running in them a week, it feels like pillows are on the bottom on my feet when I land on the concrete.

Great

Love these shoes. It is very hard for me to find the right fit in running shoes. Great fit and support for a little wider of a foot. Buffalo plaid is adorable!!

I normally wear a size 10 in Brooks but for some reason, these I had to go up a whole size. I am a true size 9.5N and the 10.5 fits good. I always want a thumbs width at the end of the toe in sneakers. These are very comfortable shoes.

I LOVE these Ghost 12 sneakers. I had the Ghost 10 before and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find any sneakers as comfortable and cushioned as they were. It took me a LONG time and MANY, MANY exchanges with Zappos. I have had major back surgery years ago. I had toe surgery last year (broken) , and have orthotics for my total arch support. The point being: MY sneakers need to be Perfect for me. They have a NICE WIDE TOE BOX , Space enough for my orthotics, and cushioning enough for my back. The mesh outside keeps my feet cool during my 6 mile walks in sunny Florida. Zappos allowed me the time to try out sneakes and Vionic Sandals without having wasted any MORE time and money . I am so happy that Zappos has the LARGEST amount of sizes (I wear wide for my insoles) but i have skinny feet. I ALSO appreciate THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE on the planet. POLITE, HELPFUL,NON-JUDGEMENTAL. In addition, the CS goes beyond the call of duty by being super Friendly and Patient. Now, If we can get the rest of the world to be as Amazing,It could be a Perfect, Peaceful Loving World. Im a grateful 63 y.o woman who is very pro-active in my health. Thank You Zappos!

These are very similar to the Ghost 11 which I have been wearing for almost a year. I buy 2 pair at the time and alternate since I workout 5-6 times a week. The top mesh is a little different as are the colors, but the toe box has not been changed. I called Brooks to find out for sure and they assured me that they left the toe box alone. The inserts are not what I need so I buy a brand that has a neutral arch with much more support. So when I got my new Ghost 12's I put one on my right food and put the Ghost 11 on my left foot. Oh my goodness what difference. The Ghost 12 has much more support. It just goes to show you how much a shoe can wear down and you don't even realize it.

Amazing. Bought this for my wife who finds it pretty hard to like a shoe. She had been a NB loyal until they decided to discontinue the model she liked. Finding something that she liked was hard until she got her feet into this. She was totally into it the first moment she put it own. Today, after her first OTF class wearing this, she has decided that she has officially moved from NB. Fits true to size and has an amazing cushion support that made her run an amazing experience!

These shoes saved my life! I have the worst plantar fasciitis and these were recommended to me locally (the rainbow pair; super cute). I bought a pair, the store clerk put in a full orthodox and I was off to the tennis courts pain free for months! Of course I wore the bottoms out as I always do after several months but I am back for another pair. I have washed these multiple times and they have held up great. The padding in the heel has held up well, they are stable enough for court play - I cannot wear court shoes due to my very high arches, but these shoes are the miracle I have been seeking for years. I like the wider metatarsal, I saw one review that said it looked like "duck feet"; apparently someone with a narrow foot; probably not a good shoe for those with narrow feet. Anyway, these are great! I am a happy tennis player :)

These shoes are wonderful. They fit perfectly and are lightweight so my feet don’t get hot. I’m not a runner. I have horrible back and nerve pain and these shoes cushion my steps and lessen that pain. The running sole also helps propel me forward so that walking is not such an effort. I’m very happy as I was afraid the only shoes I could tolerate were going to be old lady shoes. No offense to the older women out there - really - it’s just not my time yet. When it is I’ll embrace it!

About a year ago I tried Hoka One One’s. These shoes did not work for me at all. I should have taken them back. Finally after developing knee pain, I decided to try the new Ghost 12. I had them in the past but did not like the 10’s. I LOVE the Brooks Ghost 12! I feel so much more stable. Soles of my feet do not get sore. My knee pain has resolved, my high arches feel supported. Thank you Brooks! I need to buy another pair to have on hand.

Loving the new fun colors Brooks is making including this color! Saw someone else with these on at a running show and immediately purchase them. However beyond just the fun color - these shoes are super comfy! Has an extra cushion support and nice shoestrings.

Second Runner Up to the Ghost 11. Not as wide but close. Heel hugs where it should and plenty of support/cushion. Arch is great as I do not have a high arch and too much arch bothers my feet. Great shoe!

This is my third pair of Brooks Ghosts. I had two pair of the Ghost 10s, and this is my first Ghost 12 model. It feels exactly like my beloved Ghost 10s. I can wear these all day. They are my gym shoe, but also my go-to walking shoe, and I'm going to take these on a trip to Europe (I got the all black this time) and they will keep me and my feet happy while walking the miles and miles we usually walk when we travel.

These are the best Brooks that I have purchased. They are definitely true to size, need a wider toe bed so their is a wider size available. The material that they are made of makes this shoe very comfy as well as supportive. I use them for walking and just my go to sneaker. I have bought two of these in two different colors. They are like walking on a cloud.

Great shoes! I walk in them in a busy (trauma I) hospital for 12 hrs and feel good on my feet the entire time! Awesome shoes!
