Brooks Men's Ghost 12 Running Shoes

I bought these for my elderly father, who has narrow heels. I had noticed that Dad was lacing his shoes up quite tight, and decided to try to find him some narrow sneakers instead. These shoes were absolutely perfect! The narrow width allowed him to better adjust the laces for proper fit and good comfort and stability as he walked. He walked easier and beter wearing properly fitted shoes. PLEASE make a version of these shoes with hook-and-loop straps instead of laces. Dad's hands struggle with laces at all now, and I had to change him over to shoes with hook-and-loop straps. I have found none that come in narrow widths, so Dad is once again wearing shoes that are a little too wide, reducing the stability of his step. A strapped version of these shoes would have been ideal!

Have had ghost 12 - amazing. No other ghost can compare. The support in feet and back is unsurpassed. I have other brooks but ALSO BUT my experience the other brooks do not stack up to the ghost 12. Don’t know why they deviated from the 12’s perfection. Ian a distance walker and I’m On my feet for years at my work. I am beyond happy I was able to get them on Amazon ! Brand new in my size and they are so pretty too. I’ve had my previous pair for 5 years. They are still going fine but ohhhhh the comfort of a new pair. LOVE THEM

I'm a "not very good", 64 year old runner. I needed new running shoes so I did some research. I selected the Brooks Ghost 12's as I need a good cushion, good fit and a good weight. I have been having pain in my hips, knees, ankles and have had trouble with my shins. Also, despite my age, I still feel I can run faster than I have since I started 5 years ago. With these shoes, I no longer have the leg pain. I am running much better as my stride has improved due to no pain . My legs don't feel as tired during or between runs. I have honestly been struggling to run faster. Now that fall is approaching, the weather is cooling with lower humidity. I'm sure that is the main reason why I am running faster. But these shoes are also helping a lot. Since I got them, I have run faster times in the 1, 2, 4 and 5 mile road runs than in the past 4 years. My next goal is in the 5K. I haven't beat that time yet but plan to soon. These shoes are just what the Dr. ordered.

This shoe was recommended to me by my podiatrist. I have been having trouble with the toenails on my left foot. I went to see the Dr and after sending in clippings of my nails to a high tech lab, the results were that there was nothing that was causing my nails to look bad except that I wasn't wearing the best shoes for my feet. I bought the shoes and had to get 2 sizes larger than I usually wear because the shoe runs small, contrary to what the suggestion shows on the websites. I still have to take the pills the Dr gave me and treat my nails at home with a special treatment. But the shoes fit perfectly now! I love the style and color. They are very comfortable. The company is now making Ghost 13 shoes but other people are complaining that the new shoe doesn't fit correctly and are uncomfortable. I bought a 2nd pair of my same shoe so that I can continue wearing them for a long time.

I bought my first pair of Brooks (Launch 4) in 2017 and have put a loooooot of miles on them in that last 3 years. The tread is basically gone, so I decided it was time for a new pair. I loved the Launch 4's and the brand so I decided to try a different shoe in the family and went with the Ghost 12. One of the reasons I chose this shoe was honestly because I ADORE the color scheme of the navy/beetroot. That may seem silly to some, but I find the color combos and design of MOST running shoes totally hideous. I love having a shoe that pops but doesn't draw unnecessary attention and that I can actually wear with jeans if I wanted to. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors of this shoe. In terms of comfort, they are super soft and cushy for sure, but strangely the Ghost 12's took breaking in while the Launch 4's felt perfect right out of the box. The Ghost's chaffed and blistered my right heel for about 2 weeks before they were fully broken in. Now that they are, I love them, but I very nearly sent them back in that first week. I probably kept them because I loved the color so much haha. I think sometimes, too much cushion in a running shoe actually causes more problems than it solves (read Born to Run if you don't believe me). The Ghost 12's may suffer from this issue a little bit. Now that they're fully broken in, I love them, but it definitely was a bummer and not what I was used to from Brooks to have any hot spots at all. I do my walking, running and weight training in them and I find that they are good for all of the above. The quality is definitely there, true to the Brooks brand, and did I mention I love the color? :) Honestly, I think I would still recommend the Launch line of shoe if you're new to Brooks and want a winner straight out of the box, but the Ghost 12's have grown on me. And yes, I paid full price for them! Oh and I wear a true size 8.5 in womens shoes and these 8.5's fit perfectly. I sincerely hope this review has been helpful! Feel free to ask any questions.

I job on the treadmill 2 to 3 times, a week, a few miles each time. I had a pair of Nike's that were not doing me justice, and heard these Brooks ghost 12 shoes were pretty good. I have only used them once so far, and can only give you a small sample size, but of that very small sample, I am very pleased. First of all, I have wide, and flat feet, and nothing usually fits right. These fit almost perfect, which make a huge difference. The cushion, support, were really the difference after about 1 mile into it, felt great, then near the end felt the same. Seemed to have a good feeling while in these shoes, would recommend to the average joggers/ runner. If things change, I will updated, but for now very pleased with the produce, although $130.00 is a bit for shoes, the most important part is the less pain I feel while running in them!

Brooks sind einfach die besten Laufschuhe.

Awesome shoe... awesome service

Ottimo prodotto come sempre

Le Brooks Ghost sono perfette per camminare. Ha no una sula adatta sia all'asfalto che a sterrato o prato. Ammortizzazione ottima.

Fantastiche! Avuto le Ghost 10 con le quali mi sono trovata da dio, poi le Gliceryne che non hanno soddisfatto le mie aspettative, visto che tra l'altro si trattava di un prodotto più recente del primo. Allora ho deciso per l'evoluzione delle Ghost 10 e devo dire che per il momento sono soddisfattissimo. Non metto 5 stelle perché ci ho fatto ancora pochi km, ma sembra di correre su una nuvola. Ghost tutta la vita. Consegna impeccabile.
