Brooks Ghost 12

My son has a wide foot with high arch and high instep. He is normally prone to turning his ankles (supination). These shoes offer great support for him and keep him from going over on the outside of his foot. He is very pleased with the fit and feel.

I am training for my second triathlon, which is an Ironman 70.3. I wanted to get a shoe that would provide the cushion and support without being to heavy for speed work. This shoe has a great balance at most everything. This shoes does not necessarily specialize in any area, but maximizes its strengths in versatility. It will give you the light and responsive needs for speed work, but will also provide all the support and cushion you need for long runs. Can other shoes beat the Ghost in these individual categories? Yes, but no other shoe can provide the ability to excel in any type of run you can throw at it. I would recommend this shoe over its heavier counterpart the Glycerin 17, as the added weight is not worth extra cushion for most runners. This shoe is great for whatever level of running you want to throw at it. Unless you are aiming for extreme ends of the spectrum in distance (ultramarathon) or speed (short sprints) this is the shoe for you.Possible improvements:-Style. This is not a big complaint, but I added some different color laces to add to the style of these shoes. Overall great design.

Coming from YEARS of Asic's Nimbus series, I find the brooks absolutely destroys the Asics in every category. I still can't believe how many years I blindly paid $150 per pair for the declining quality Nimbus while completely ignoring any Brooks shoe for the same price. I would pay $200 for these shoes. I am a large man with very high arches that needs cushioning, and these are honestly the best pair of shoes I've ever owned. I think I am a brooks customer now, and I hope they keep up with manufacturing standards, because that's why I jumped ship from Asics. Keep it up Brooks, we need somebody that still does things right for their customers!

excellent design/comfort and a perfect fit. I've owned the ghost 10/11 previously and these are at least equal if not more comfortable.

I have never paid attention to the shoes I'm wearing since I only buy shoes based on aesthetic. I have owned multiple shoes from Asics, Nike, and NewBalance. I tried this shoes because I have heard good things from Ghost 11 but this one is the worst.I walk at fast pace 4-5 miles per day. I tried this shoes for two days and hurt my Achilles tendon which forced me to stay put and rest for 2 weeks before I can even walk normal again. I'm not sure if it's because my feet has strange shape (jk, I have never heard anyone told me that for all my life).Otherwise, it has nice cushion, and looks nice. That's about it.

Most comfortable running shoe I have had yet.

Similar to the Ghost 10 shoes I replaced. Very comfortable and obvious high quality.

Due to the extra cushioning and the rubbery soles, these shoes are waaaay too unstable even when walking. When running, it gets too out of hand and you're bouncing all over the place. They claim to be neutral, but these actually alter the way you walk and run. Also, I first tried them on a rainy day, they were too slippery on concrete and tile, almost fell twice. Bottom line, these were my first and last brooks shoes, returned them the same day.

The cushioning is fantastic. I also like the reinforced patch in that spot where the big toe often pokes through the material ruining a lot of my trainers.The only issue I have is that they run rather narrow at the midfoot. The toe box is plenty wide enough, as is the heel area. What's unusual is the huge difference between the width of the toe box and the width of the midfoot area.I bought the regular width ones a size larger than my usual dress shoe size. So lengthwise I have plenty of space, which makes it all the more surprsing how narrow they are in the middle. I'm still keeping them but it's not 100% comfortable.

I bought the Brooks product as a recommendation by my brother. He recommended these as we both have a high arched foot and that these would provide additional support. I'm delighted to say that he wasn't wrong. As someone who would have lived and died by Asics , these Ghost 12 are a sturdy well fitting running shoe. I'm a size 10 UK and ordered size 10 UK and they fit perfect. I normally run routes anywhere between 6.5k -10 k on hilly country roads and these Brooks Ghost 12 absolutely eat them up for breakfast. The only small fault I could find with them is that they are a small bit heavier and slighly more cumbersome than a lighter asics training shoe , however as I said for rougher ,hillier roads - they give great support and grip. I suppose what I'm saying is that it's horses for courses !!!Price wise they are probably 20 quid more expensive than what I would normally spen/expect for a good running show but so far so good and worth every extra penny .Would definitely recommend.

Brooks are so comfortable even if you aren't running in them. Fit so well, dont sweat my feet, I can wear black ones in place of shoes for work and I can wear them all day every day

I have been using for a month and find these to be great runners. Fit very well (I am a 7), I run on the roads and find these very comfortable to run in with really good support. This colour would not have been my first choice but they were cheaper than the other options and they look fine. I also own a pair of New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v10, I find the brooks ghost a far superior shoe and will be sticking to this brand in future.

No where near as good as ghost 11..best running shoe I've had......... The sole is far to rigid for me as I have a bad right knee.. Very disappointing

Product was advertised on UK Amazon but size displayed turned out to be US, hence way to small. Why on earth sell shoes in UK with US sizes?!?!Long delivery time and then had to return them and for a refund. End to end process took 1 month. Ended up buying them from a non-amazon supplier, got them cheaper and delivered in 2 days.

Seit dem Brooks Ghost 9 bin ich ein Fan dieses Laufschuhs. Da dieser Schuh neutral ausgelegt ist, kann man die Einlegesohle problemlos gegen ein auf das eigene Fußbett optimierte Einlegesohle tauschen. Bei gut 100 Kilo Gewicht gab es nicht allzu viele Laufschule mit denen man problemlos und ermüdungsfrei täglich walken oder joggen kann. Die Lieferung durch Amazon erfolgte schnell und zuverlässig. Preis-Leistung sehr gut. Wichtig war außerdem die Farbe des Schuhs

This is my second pair of ghost 12's, I have fussy feet that overheat when I run, I find the ghost 12's well ventilated and comfortable, I have flat feet and find these shoes suit that as wellI run about 30 - 40 km a week

Been running for almost 50 years! Having had several pairs of Adrenaline GTS for the past 13 years, finally went for Ghost for a change. Decided I am a neutral runner after all! These are noticeably lighter and I seem to be running faster or further in the same time! Love Brooks and kept using because I know the size is just perfect for me.

I like these. Having run on Adidas for years, I have at last found an alternative as Adidas have changed styles and materials that don't suit me.These come in different widths, the narrow fit suits me ! My first run was very comfortable so happy !

Good for my running style.These are expensive trainers but, I suppose, You've got to pay for the quality.So far, I have found these to be very comfortable - not even any "new trainer blisters" - and provide good cushioning for the heavier runner.

Bought to run in but an awesome fashion product. So comfortable and stylish. Did run eventually, broken ground, wet grass with no after effects. Awesome !!

Have these trainers already. They are really good running shoes with good cushioning and support. Good price .I paid £120 for my first pair. Great colour. Bought two pairs !

Have had Brooks for many years now and these shoes are so comfortable.

I havent run in them yet, just wore them around to get used to them and they are really comfortable. The Black is a lovely colour also. I have used Brooks foe the last 4 years so I'm not expecting any issues. Delivery and Product as described etc was 100%.
