Brooks  Ghost 18 Road-Running Shoes - Men's

[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.

[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!).

[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!

[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.

Too big, I thought wrong size , I don't like it at all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been running in various Brooks models for a while now, and this updated version of the Ghost does a nice job of making some refinements while remaining true to it’s heritage as a reliable daily trainer. The fit for me was true to size and the shoes are wide enough to provide room up front without slipping in the back. I love the flat knit tongue. It sits nicely across the top of the foot and doesn’t bunch up or create pressure spots. It also doesn’t seem to slide around as much. Cushioning strikes a good balance between being soft enough on easy days with enough snap that you don't feel bogged down. Breathability is fantastic, and is probably the change that I noticed the most. I live in the south where we have already had several days in the upper 80’s with high humidity, so the increased airflow from the mesh upper and thinner tongue are very much appreciated. This is the tried and true Ghost shoe that I always come back to, but with some nice adjustments added. If you want a daily trainer that just disappears on your foot and lets you run, this is it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These ahoes are extremely comfortable and breathable across the top. The tongue is great and breathable. Great for warm weather climate. Feels like I'm running with a lot of cushion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brooks Running has delivered a fantastic training shoe with the Ghost 18. I felt immediately comfortable in these shoes from the moment I tried them on. I took them with me on my two week work trip to the Netherlands and Germany, where I ran on paved, brick, concrete, gravel, dirt, and cobblestone streets. Regardless of the surface, the DNA Loft V3 foam worked extremely well to keep my feet and body feeling fresh on the various hard surfaces as I ticked off the miles. Even with the fairly generous stack height that is approaching “super shoe” stack level, my foot strikes felt consistently stable underneath me. My heels also felt locked in at all times which is important to me since I’m not one who likes my shoes very tight. Their flexible flat-knit tongue provides a super comfortable sock-like feel, but it does not have perforations so I’m not sure if the shoe will be a little warm during my hot and humid summers. These shoes do feature a soft breathable upper though, so I’m thinking that might be sufficient for keeping my feet comfortable when the heat does dial up. As for sizing, I think the Ghost 18’s fit true to size as I’m a size 10 and these fit me perfectly. Although there are certainly faster and lighter running shoes on the market, these shoes felt up to the task during my fast tempo interval sessions. Overall, I have really enjoyed running in these shoes and the Ghost 18’s are my new go-to running shoes for all my runs outside of my top-speed track and hill sessions. I think folks looking for an exceptional daily training shoe or a shoe that can be walked in all day long are really going to enjoy this latest Ghost model by Brooks Running.

I had been a long time Adrenaline fan but the most recent changes to this years line made them feel way different. Too much cushioning. The ghost has been a great alternative and I’m enjoying them so far.

Ruined! Getting rid of the traditional padded tongue for the wierd elastic “sock” fit was a horrible choice! And the ankle heal keeps getting and more pronounced curved out. The new Anthem 8 was a better design in all honesty. What are they doing to the ghost🤷🏻‍♂️
