Brooks Ghost Running Shoes

The Brooks Ghost is Brooks' everyday neutral trainer: balanced cushioning, a smooth heel-to-toe ride, and a fit that stays consistent from version to version. It's a dependable pick for most road runners.

Ghost 18 vs. Ghost 17

The Ghost 18 is the current version. The Ghost 17 is the previous one, and while we still have it, it's usually the better deal. Both are neutral daily trainers built for high mileage. Try the new version on before switching, since uppers and fit change between releases.

Who the Ghost is for

• Daily road runs, marathon training blocks and easy days
• Runners who want cushion that doesn't feel mushy
• New runners who want one shoe that does a bit of everything

When to look at something else

• Want more stability? Look at the Adrenaline GTS 25, the Ghost's stability sibling.
• Want maximum cushion? See the Ghost Max 4.
