A springy ride with great breathability

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost 18 offers a surprisingly springy sensation underfoot that adds a noticeable extra pep to every step. While the flat-knit tongue requires a quick adjustment when first putting them on, it remains securely in place throughout the entire duration of a workout. The mesh upper is breathable ensuring that feet stay cool and comfortable. This shoe provides a secure and supportive fit that balances stability with a flexible, non-restrictive feel across the top of the foot. Overall these are the perfect choice for anyone looking for an energetic, active vibe that maintains high-level responsiveness from start to finish.

Breath of fresh air

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a loyal Brooks fan for many years, I always get excited about their new drops, especially when it comes to the new technology they introduce. The Ghost 18’s are sleeker than the Adrenaline GTS 25’s. There is a lot more support to my foot in the Ghost 18’s and I really loved how breathable the tops and tongues of the shoes are. It was such a welcomed sensation when I was running and the heat was able to escape to help keep my feet cool. I’m not used to that and it was really nice. The shoes were a little firm around my ankle to start, but once they got worn in, it stopped bothering me there. I think if I would’ve ordered a half size up, this would not have been a problem (I usually do this!).

Ghost 18 ❤️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these shoes! They are stylish, not bulky and very comfortable. I wear these everyday! I love them so much I have 3 pair! I am a nurse and I am on my feet a lot! I always recommend them to my friends and family! My husband works in the automotive industry and walks all day in a plant and he also is a brooks fan now! He says they are so much better than the other brands. Between work and walking my dog I get a lot of steps in and these shoes hold up very good!

Great daily shoe for Achilles strain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Books Ghost 18 has thus far been an excellent shoe for daily use. I typically log 3-5 miles every day with a target of at least 21 miles a week. This shoe has offered the support I need with its 10 mm drop to accommodate my micro tear to my Achilles tendon. While in the Marines I ran with numerous brands of shoes over the years and in my opinion, nothing compares to the cushion, support and performance of this shoe. It offers great heal strike cushion, great roll and toe off through the midfoot. The DNA Loft foam base provides great stability while also giving great energy return making the miles effortless.

Make the switch to Brooks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes. I used to wear Nikes all the time but decided to switch brands, and I’m glad I did. It’s like walking on a cloud, and the width of the shoe makes it so comfortable to walk. My only preference would be no mesh top. It’s impossible to clean when they get dirty.

Comfy from the get go!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve only had a chance to try these out for a couple weeks so this is what I can say so far. They are extremely comfortable, have a nice wide toe box, they have a good arch, and are really nice looking. Even on my first run, I had no discomfort afterwards. I’m currently suffering from plantar fasciitis and the arch helps ease the pain. I can’t give a full 5 stars because I need to wear them for a few more months to be able to assess them fully. Would recommend!

Here's the new Ghost - same as the old Ghost (this is a good thing!)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have run in at least 10 iterations of the Ghost over the years. When I buy a pair of Ghosts I am not looking for flash or max comfort. I am looking for something that can handle any type of run reasonably well. In this space, the Ghost has maintained it's place as the most reliable daily trainer. It's not been without innovation and I appreciate the features in this years model. The midsole is soft enough to be comfortable but will not bog you down if you want to pick it up. I like the updates to the tongue and the the heel flare. This is the comfortable do it all shoe. It's the shoe you take your travel because it can handle all of your runs from recovery to workouts.

Ghost 18 Charles Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had Brooks running shoes over the past several years and I only use them for my workout at the gym. Comfortable and easy on the feet whether on the treadmill, stationary bike or elliptical. The Ghost 18 are my second Ghost pair. And I purchased them for the reasons noted. The shoes are comfortable the moment I put them on. And having had some minor foot issues earlier in life, they provide the comfort and stability that I enjoy and appreciate. The wear well and are at a good price point for the quality of shoe. I don't have any issues with them and when this pair of Ghost 18 need replaced, I will return to the Brooks product. I'm 74 years old and maybe these shoes help keep me young.

Perfection!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted something soft but still flexible, Ghost 18 was exactly what I was looking for. The upper is so breathable and soft, the tongue is almost sock-like! Over all: dependable, comfortable, and easy to disappear underfoot. IYKYK Also, the white and green color way with the gum sole is SO good, so old school, I love it!

Tread started to peel off after two weeks

The tread started to peel off after two weeks of use. Didn't do anything crazy, ran a total of 10 miles and walked about 30 miles in them total. Then this happened… It looks like it is glued together, so I will try to glue it back myself. The shoes are extremely comfortable, But disappointed in the quality.
