Brooks  Ghost Trail-Running Shoes - Women's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Brooks running shoes in general and the Ghost Trail running shoes are my new favorite trail running shoes. They provide a great amount of support and cushion to support long mileage. The support around your ankle and below your foot also make me feel more comfortable on various terrains. The traction is efficient on all sorts of surfaces from rock to gravel to dirt. The Ghost Trail can also be your one shoe for a hiking trip where you are doing both hiking and trail running, making them perfect for travel. Overall the shoes are incredibly comfortable and ones I would recommend to anyone looking for that perfect trail running shoe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been running on these shoes for about a week and they have been great. I usually wear a size 8, and size up to 8.5 for running shoes. For these, I may have been ok with an 8. They do not feel tight on my feet and I can see myself running and using them for more casual walking. They feel very breathable and have plenty of cushion. The traction is great for my running needs and I’ve had no difficulty transitioning from trail to gravel and back. I do mainly run on sidewalks and so far they are a great shoe for that. I’m not usually a Brooks Ghost shoe wearer but I may be ready to make the switch for good.

First off since converting to Altra minimalist shoes (Escalante) I have struggled to be able to run in any conventional shoe. However, it seems since the Hoka signing with podiatry, cushioning in almost all shoes is off the charts. Brooks used to be my favorite shoe brand and I love that they still provide a roomy toe box for a conventional shape. The cushioning is just too much for me. The grip on these shoes feels very good. The shoe itself feels heavy. This is likely a great shoe for trail running but is not for me. I did not find that it ran any bigger than any other Brooks style despite many reviews indicating that it does.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] FINALLY a shoe I don’t have to send back. I have flat feet, and a major bunion on my right foot. I love to hike and am very active.. so need something comfortable, supportive and grippy. These check the box on all of those. I ordered the wide version of my usual size. Completely expecting to be disappointed and have to send them back like the past 12 pairs I’ve tried from various highly rated companies. The toe box is amazing and the rest of the shoe fits securely. I am impressed by the arch support. And they have more cushion that my Cascadias. The color is lighter than shown, more of a grey and pale pink. But I am so relieved to have this pair!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first pair of Brooks and I have to say I am in love with them!! I will be completely honest with you, the first time I put them on I wasnt sure, how I would do running and walking in them. They took a bit to break in 1 or 2 days, but they seemed to form to my feet and give me the support I desperately needed. They easily grip to any surface without feeling heavy or restrictive. I have run on smooth paved surfaces as well as off the beaten path in these Ghost Trail shoes by Brooks. Each time I have taken them on a hike I've felt comfortable, agile, and confident. Thank you so much for allowing me to review these shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Ghost Trail impressed me with how seamlessly it transitioned from road to trail. On pavement it felt smooth and cushioned, while on dirt and gravel it stayed stable and confident without feeling bulky or stiff. The midsole delivered the soft, responsive cushioning Ghost fans expect, making each step feel light and fluid even when the terrain changed frequently. During longer runs, the ride stayed consistent and comfortable, absorbing impact well and reducing fatigue, which made mixed-surface routes feel easy and enjoyable. Traction was excellent on gravel, packed dirt, and uneven trail sections, with a grippy outsole that felt secure without being overly aggressive on roads. The shoe felt durable and trail-ready, easily handling rocks and roots without any awkward slipping or hotspots. Fit was very consistent with other Ghost models- true to size with a secure midfoot and comfortable toe box. Breathability was great, keeping my feet cool and dry, and overall comfort was outstanding, making these an ideal option for runners who want one reliable shoe for both road and light-to-moderate trails.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the most comfortable hiking shoes I’ve ever owned. I always wear size 8 in Brooks. These seem a bit bigger but I decided to keep them and they are perfect! My feet don’t crunch into the toe box when going down hill on steep trails. They have the perfect amount of traction and they are light! I love them so much, I ordered another pair in a different color so I can alternate every day. Thank you!

Great feel for a trail shoe, supportive and comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve ran about 23 miles in these shoes so far and what I love the most about them is the soft cushion feel it’s like wearing a road shoe. You can’t even tell that it’s a trail shoe sometimes… I will say that I feel like this model runs a little bit bigger. I have ran in Brooks for over 10 years And usually and always I am a size 8, but in these I definitely feel like I possibly could’ve done a 7 1/2 also the shoelaces could be softer. I feel like they dig a little bit but overall an excellent shoe can’t wait to take them out this weekend on 100 km trail run.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these shoes for my daughter as her first pair of Brooks for her first job as a new nurse. She absolutely loves them—the design, the fit, and how comfortable they are during her 12-hour shifts. Seeing how much she liked them, I ended up buying a pair for myself too!
