First Brooks Returned

I’ve ordered the ghost several times over the years, this is the first pair I haven’t been happy with. They fit larger than prior iteration and I prefer my old pair. Sad to say going back.

Great Shoe!

Love the ghost 18. These have a roomy toe box and cushioning is very comfortable. The flat knit tongue design was a great addition to this shoe. I have been wearing ghosts for many years. These were not a disappointment. I highly recommend the ghost 18 for a pleasant trail walking experience.

Minimal Options For Wide Feet

Why can't you make 2E size shoes in colors that aren't just white or black? People with wide feet want colorful shoes too.

Ghost 18 Is One To Stock Up On!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The beloved Ghost shoe is back! Wow! Great arch support and amazing cushion that hugs your feet in all the right places. Comfort in every step, right out of the box. The perfect length, width, and a great new tongue. They are plush yet supportive. The Ghost 17's were stiff, narrow, long, and not as much cushion. They felt cheap and nothing like the Ghost shoe that I have loved for years. Can't wait for more colors to come out in the Ghost 18. This will be the one that people buy several in different colors. Bravo Brooks! My feet thank you! : )

Ghost 18 Brooks Continue To Be The Go-to

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I boldly took this shoe out for my first outdoor long run (11.5 miles on Ohio), knowing the predecessors have always performed well. I was a little nervous with the new tongue design but I was pleasantly surprised at how soft and comfortable it was. I have relatively flat feet and this shoe felt great through the arches. I didn't feel like my foot was falling off the side of the sole which I've had problems with in other shoes. These have been a staple in my marathon training rotation and I love the new color ways.

Brooks Are The Best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brooks never disappoint! Even after being on my feet all day, they were so incredibly comfortable. The flat-knit tongue felt like a pair of socks and was so breathable that my feet did not get hot. The sneakers felt so supportive, like a brand new pair of socks. The cushioning of the sneaker was soft and my feet felt great, even after a very long road run. My favorite thing about this sneaker is that it’s not only stylish, but it feels like you’re not wearing anything. This newly designed tongue of the sneaker is absolutely fantastic! It does not dig into the top of my foot. Overall, Brooks have always been my go to brand and this sneaker definitely does not disappoint!

New Go To

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost 18 is my new go to for running in the Phoenix heat! These shoes are so breathable I can feel airflow even after a few miles when it’s hot out. The cushioning is soft and absorbent which takes the edge off of pavement impact. My favorite feature is just how easy these are so slide on and off, all while being secured to my feet for the duration of my run. I’m seriously impressed.

Comfort Queen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This show is maximum comfort on the run. One may even say she is the Queen of comfort. The shoe is so breathable and the flat-knit tongue design of the shoe is perfection! No rubbing or tightness at all. The shoe was supportive for my road runs without restriction on my toes. It has a nice wide toe box so my toes don’t loose feeling even on a longer run. The cushioning was 10/10 for comfort and responsiveness. My favorite thing about this shoe is how my feet don’t feel exhausted after running in them.

Amazingly Comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to try the Brooks Ghost 18! First of all, these shoes look great; I love the peach, white and grey mix. They can take me from the school pick up line to the gym. The comfort is top notch. I usually need a shoe with a lot of support, but these Ghost 18’s have been amazingly comfortable! I was able to go for a 3-mile run straight out of the box. I haven’t experienced any knee pain or foot fatigue that can happen with new shoes, and didn’t need a breaking in period. The cushioning is responsive, but also molds to the foot, and the upper is super breathable. I get a locked in fit, without the shoes ever feeling restrictive. I love how the tongue of the shoe is nice and cushioned but very flexible at the top. Overall, this shoes has been a pleasant surprise with comfort and style tied together. I can’t wait to wear them for my next 5-miler race next weekend!

Super Cute, Super Comfy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so pleased with these new sneakers! They are so comfortable and have so much padded space that really make it feel like I'm running and hiking on a cloud. They are just about the most comfortable sneaker that I've ever worn. I'm impressed. Not only are the super comfy, they are also absolutely beautiful! This is one of my favorite colors, and you hardly ever can find a shoe in this color. The very first time that I wore them I got tons of compliments. Finally, they also make me feel great! They make me taller, for one thing! Also, the shape of the shoe is just really stylish and makes me feel good about wearing them. They were an awesome choice!

Race Day Shoes!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these shoes! I’m an avid brooks ghost lover and these are perfection! I need a supportive shoe after breaking my leg almost 10 years ago and these are the perfect mix of stability and flexibility. The flexible flat knit tongue keeps the shoe super breathable and comfortable. The amount of cushion is exactly what I look for in a running shoe. Easy gliding but not like I am running on clouds. The 7.5 wide is perfect to allow plenty of wiggle room and keeps the blisters at bay. I am typically a normal 7.5 but like to size up to wide for my running shoes. The color way is GORGEOUS! It is super fun and girly at the same time, which I love! I’m currently training for a half marathon and I have decided these will be my race day shoes! I’m obsessed!!!!

My Go-to Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost line has been my go-to running shoe for years and once again, it did not disappoint. I enjoy both short runs during the week and longer runs on the weekends so I need a shoe that remains comfortable as my foot gets tired. Like past designs, the Ghost 18 provides added support for my arch and has a double layer of mesh in the toe box to keep my big toe from popping through after repeated wear. What I liked most about this version, though, is the incredibly supportive and cushioned sole, giving me the sense of extra bounce and support on my long runs. This design also offers a very comfortable flat-knit tongue, which stayed in place well and felt very comfortable during runs. While I don’t typically get light colored shoes like this white and peach because they dirty quickly with my regular use, these will remain my go-to even after they look well-worn.

Most Comfortable Running Shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Brooks Ghost 18 shoes. I’ve only had them for about a week but I’ve run everyday in them and they are the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn. The shoes are so comfortable and the tongue is soft and flexible. They don’t rub my foot at all or give me blisters. I’ve used them for running outside , running on the treadmill, walking around all day, and just regular workouts. I haven’t had them that long but with the daily use they’ve got so far , you can’t really tell , they still look new. The bottoms don’t even look scuffed at all. The material is soft and breathable, your feet won’t be sweaty at all. The insoles are so soft and thick and the outsoles are thick and durable, but still flexible. They really are the most comfortable shoes I’ve probably ever worn. Even with running for over an hour the first time I put them on , they didn’t give a blister and they still haven’t. They fit perfectly and seem nice and durable. I am sure I’ll be wearing these for years and will replace with another pair.

Comfortable And Light!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brooks is my go to running shoe and these shoes are now in my weekly rotation. The flexible flat-knit tongue is a game changer for these shoes. It made the shoe feel less stiff and so light which resulted on my runs feeling like I was flying. The shoe was very supportive however I do have a higher arch so I would size up next time. The shoe was also very soft and provided a good amount of cushion on my run. I was able to go an extra mile without feeling sore the next day. The cushion and design are my favorite thing about these shoes!

Comfort And Color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Ghost 18 are definitely a comfortable shoe. I love the colors, especially for a wide width, as I feel we alway get the short end for color selection. The light orange color with the white makes me think of summer. The fit of the shoes were nice, I've done ran a few 30-45 minute runs in them and my feet felt great after. I really like the flat-knit tongue of these, it makes the shoe feel snug with no weird pressure points. I would say this shoe doesn't feel quite as springy as some other shoes I've worn, but are comfortable and nice for an easy run. My feet didn't feel overheated, they seem breathable. Overall, my favorite feature though is the tongue, more shoes should move to that design. It almost feels like the edge of a sock in place.
