Having stocked the Ghost for many years, we've seen first-hand why it remains Brooks' most popular neutral running shoe. Consistently delivering reliable comfort and performance, the Ghost has become a trusted choice for a wide range of runners, from beginners through to experienced marathoners. The latest iteration, the Brooks Ghost 18, returns with the same winning combination of soft cushioning, balanced support, and all-day comfort, now featuring an updated upper for an even more comfortable fit. At the core of the Ghost 18 is Brooks’ premium nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which provides a balanced underfoot feel that’s neither overly soft nor overly firm. Strategically placed flex grooves help create smooth transitions from landing to toe-off, while the engineered triple jacquard mesh upper delivers excellent comfort and breathability. The Ghost 18 is a dependable choice for everyday training and daily mileage. We particularly recommend it for easy runs, steady-paced sessions, and longer-distance efforts where comfort and consistency are key. For runners who need a little more room, the Ghost 18 is also available in wide-fit options (Women's 1D and Men's 2E). The Ghost family also includes the Ghost Trail, a trail-ready adaptation of the popular road shoe, ideal for door-to-trail adventures. If you're looking for a softer, more cushioned ride, explore the Brooks Glycerin range. For runners seeking additional support and stability, the Brooks Adrenaline GTS and Glycerin GTS feature Brooks' GuideRails® support system. This holistic approach to stability helps guide excess movement and can be particularly beneficial for runners who appreciate extra support during longer runs or when fatigue begins to set in.
