I love these shoes! They are the best I have ever worn. They're light and extremely comfortable. I worked all day on concrete, in them and my feet and legs felt great! I love that they come in every color you can imagine.

Love these shoes for running on a treadmill. I haven't tested them outdoors just yet. They feel light on my feet yet very supportive. Lilac color is perfect!

I've been running over 20 years, I have worn Brooks Ghost since at least the Ghost 9, if not earlier. I run around 1000 miles a year, around 20+ a week (far not fast ;). I have also dealt with plantar fasciitis for many years, although good running shoes plus superfeet berry insoles, then birk's as houseshoes, have kept that at bay for a long time. I wear an average width size 10 running shoe. I put about 500 miles on a shoe before switching to new. With the Ghost 9, 10, 11, and 12... no issues, great runs right out of the box (like a good running shoe should be).
In the past (pre-Ghosts), every once in a blue moon, I'd have a pair of running shoes that would rub my little toes and cause a blister, but it always cleared up in a run or two, never to return. The Ghost 13's have caused blisters for over a month of running (of course, I forgot the zappo's return policy, but they don't have the 12's anyway)... Any run over 5-6 miles (I run long/short days) causes a blister to form on one or both of my small toes, on the outside. I wrap it, it clears up/firms up, then the next long run irritates it again. I could pre-wrap, but doing that all the time is annoying, let alone shouldn't be needed. Next I'll be looking into toe socks, since they're cheaper than a new pair of shoes...
This, however, is the only issue I have with these. No other rubbing, they look brand new with a month of treadmilling (warmblooded MN runner here.)
So all in all, if you have narrower feet across the toes, or you don't tend toward little toe blisters, and you're looking for good cushion and decent support, I do like the Ghosts. Whyyyy do they change them?? (Anyone have a brand new pair of Ghost 12's they wanna sell me?? ;)

Most comfortable pair of Brooks for me so far. I have worn Adrenaline and Levitate and found that comfort level has changed with each new model of shoe and I was not happy with my last model of Levitate so I decided to give Ghost a try based on a friend’s recommendation. I have used these for treadmill running only but find that they are by far the most comfortable pair of Brooks I have tried.

I always have to size up a half of a size in Brooks. I love mine I just purchased! I’m on my feet all day and they are so comfy!

Definitely my favorite Brooks style this season. Prefer over my Glycerin I recently purchased. Like the Glycerin from last year better. The Ghost looks good and feels great.

I love the cushion of this shoe. Exactly what I was looking for-a little extra support. Order 1/2 size up.

These shoes felt true to size and width. I ordered the same size I wear in Asics and they fit great. I stand on my feet all day at work and I need lots of cushion. Unfortunately, these shoes just didn't seem to have any from the arch forward. I ended up returning them.

Overall, very comfortable. They fit well and have no break in period. I like being able to buy neutral looking black shoes that are also comfortable. Thanks Brooks!

This wasn’t the shoe for me it very stiff and awkward feel to it, I still think the Ghost 12 was the very best that Brooks made.

This is my second pair of Brooks running shoes after years of New Balance. These are immediately comfortable, requiring no break in time. I use them for walking 3-5 miles at a time, outdoors.

I have enjoyed my Brooks Ghost 13. They are true to size and I always order wide width and they are perfect for my wide foot. I work 10 hour shifts in retail and the Ghost 13 is perfect for my line of work and keep me comfortable for my entire shift. This is my third pair of Brooks and I am loving them.

This was my first purchase of a Brooks shoe. I bought them for work being on my feet all day. I ordered a 1/2 size up as recommended and length was fine, but I found the shoe to wide in the toe box and not much cushioning. I had to buy a pair of foam inserts and that helped. I was a little dissapointed having heard such great things about Brooks. I think I will stick with my Saucony

I ordered up a half size as is typical for this brand. These are some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve owned. Even through a long move with long hours on my feet, these were a dream.

I’ve owned several Ghosts and this by far was the worst. They’ve changed something about the construction that I can’t pinpoint. The sole is not as cushioned as it used to be and the toe box feels a lot more narrow. My feet still fit perfectly in an old pair of ghosts so I know my feet haven’t changed. I’ve been wearing these for a few weeks now and I’m ready for a different shoe. I walk at least 7 miles a day at work and my feet have been killing me. I’m disappointed in Brooks. They used to be my favorite brand and worth the price but now it feels like I could get a cheap pair of Nike or adidas and be better satisfied.
