Ghost 12 is probably a few seasons old so I don't know if this review will help anyone. I've worn previous versions of Brooks Ghosts for a number of years, but the 12s were my last pair. The toe was too small and the sides were too high. So high they rubbed my knuckles. I wanted like 12s but too uncomfortable. Too bad, I really liked Brooks. Now I wear Saucony and am very happy with it.
