Most uncomfortable Brooks style ever. Took them out for a test run and after two miles my feet were in pain. They were stiff and put pressure on the top of my foot where the laces end. I have been wearing Brooks Glycerine's for years for running in an 8.5 W and wear Ghost's in 8.5 M for work (healthcare) and absolutely love them. Got these in an 8.5 M (they weren't offered in W) and found them narrower them my regular Ghosts. Also, they made a funky popping noise when waterproof lining bent and unfolded with every step. Thankfully Zappos has an awesome return policy for running shoes!! I will keep searching for a waterproof running shoe.

Great Fit for Narrow to Medium Width Feet. I normally wear a 10 narrow and I had to go up a half size in this shoe. They seem to run a half size short. Very warm shoe for cold and wet days. Same Brooks Ghost comfort. Highly recommend!

I have narrow feet and these medium width GTX shoes fit me perfectly. In fact they fit as well as my narrow width non GTX Brooks Ghost 11s. So they do run narrower than the non GTX shoes. Went for a 2 mile walk as soon as they arrived with no problems. Happy to have found a good pair of shoes that will keep my feet warm and dry this winter.

These sneakers are so comfortable!! I ordered the black and light green ones. They match a lot and they are so comfy. I wear them every day since I got them. The cushion is amazing! I always order a half size up in sneakers and they fit perfect.

I wanted these shoes so much so I ordered 3 pairs hoping one of them would be wide enough. I don’t have a wide foot at all but these were extremely narrow. I loved the cushion and the waterproof feature but had to send them back as all pairs, even 1/2 size up was really narrow.

Mentioned in other reviews, the shoes are cut low, meaning the height is too short and digs into the top of your foot.
Also mentioned in other reviews, the shoes started this terrible clicking noise after wearing for five days. I pitched the box and should return, but I am in need of a running GoreTex shoe so I will keep until I find something else. My fav model was the 10 -- bring back the Ghost 10

Just received this shoe yesterday. I have already put 7 outdoor street miles on them. No Blisters or sore spots. 4 miles in the rain this morning and my no show socks were completely dry after 1 hr of moderate rain walking. So happy to have these shoes!!

I liked everything about this shoe. The fit, the cush, the style. Looks great and fit my foot like my regular Ghost 12s. That was until I walked around the house. Just a few steps and I experienced pain on the toes on the right foot. Examining the shoe, I discovered a bit of a ridge over the big toe area, something under the lining. It isn't large but I have foot problems and my toes are very sensitive now to pressure. I also discovered that the heel of the right shoe isn't level. Put the shoe on a table top and the heel isn't stable. I am going to order another pair and hope these flaws are one-offs. Great shoe otherwise.

These shoes are perfect for snowy winter runs. They have all the comfort and cushioning of the ghost plus they’re waterproof! They also have decent traction.

Very comfortable. A little heavier than other shoes I've had! The overall seem durable and supportive. Happy with my purchase.

I love the regular Ghost 12, so got these for rainy days. However, they don't fit the same way. The heel was looser and I felt I would get a blister. Sadly, had to return them.

I needed a water resistant shoe with good traction for walking around running errands on ice and snow, so I ordered these. I own 6 pairs of Brooks Adrenaline, but they don’t make one with Gortex. These look good, have good traction, and fit well. But, they make a loud noise that I could not live with so I returned them.

The Ghost are amazing and the added Gore-Tex is a great bonus to keep feet dry when damp weather threatens your run/walk!

Brooks does it again! I love the Gortex option. I wear them as a local truck driver and my usual sneakers were always getting wet in the rain.
I wear them on the weekends shopping etc. My knees and hips don't hurt.

I bought these to wear to work everyday. I'm on my feet for 8 hours and my feet used to ache everyday. Now my feet feel great! Would definitely buy another pair.

I walk 8-10mls a day for work and would be lost without my Brooks. Ghost and Cascadia are my favorite. Adding the GTX option is a game changer!!!

Love the Ghost. They do well for long distance runs. The fit is great. I haven't tested if they are indeed waterproof. Overall love Ghost. They are my 3rd pair.

My first pair of GTX Ghosts from Brooks. A snugger fit that the regular Ghosts, especially in the toe box area if you have a wider foot like me.
Haven't been on a long run with them yet but so far so good with shorter (5-10km) runs. The waterproofing keeps your foot dry and shoe dry so you can wear again without needing to dry out
