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.] This is close to a very good shoe. Pros: The balance of cushion and support is very good and for me is a good middle ground between the normal Ghost and the Cascadia trail. Cons: 1) Not sure if this is only an issue at larger sizes, but in my 10.5 the tongue is too narrow so it does not properly span my upper foot. I had to change my lacing to keep the upper from digging into my foot. 2) The tread began falling off within a month.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great. They are very comfortable compared to my Cascadia. Would love to have some fun cheetah prints in these ghost trail like my old Ghost purple cheetah prints.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These trail shoes are amazing. Very comfortable and like the tread sone I run on gravel roads.Plenty of room for your toes. Plan to get another pair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After reading other positive reviews…I ordered these to give them a try since I have neuropathy and stand on my feet at work for 12 hours as a nurse! Best feeling Brooks I’ve ever purchased! I loved them so much I ordered another pair/color! Happy feet=Happy me! These are the best and most comfortable on my feet! Highly recommend these to people who have neuropathy and who stand up for hours.👍🏼

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another win for Brooks! I've been running in Brooks trail shoes for the last 15 years or so, and these are on par with the Caldera model that I couldn't find during my last replacement. They have the same cushioning, which I need for the arthritis in my toes (ugh), and support as the Caldera. The only missing element is the lace strap to tuck in the tied laces. That's a weird omission and something I would like to see again. Otherwise, this shoe hits all the points of Caldera - super cushioning, great response, lightweight, durable trail shoe.
