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!

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.

Daily drivers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes. Been a Ghost wearer since Ghost 5s, absolutely love these shoes for the gym, walking, and everyday use. The 2E wides are great for my feet but you have to buy them up as they go fast.

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.

Great versatile comfortable shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Ghost 18 shoes are very comfortable and feel similar to Hokas. I use them daily in my fitness classes and feel very supported. A lot of shoes have a hard sole that hurts my heal and these are the opposite. Lots of cushion and comfort keep me comfortable all day long. Work great for runs as well.
