Ghost 18 Road Running Trainers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live Ghost 18. I have several pairs. Most comfortable running shoe I’ve ever had.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another great Ghost running shoe. Fits well and has right drop and looks great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are great, they fit comfortably and have been great for long runs or normal walking days. These are my third pair of Ghosts and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants long lasting comfort and stability in their running shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Personally, I’m a fan of the Ghost 17 over the 18. Sorry, but it’s true. I think the mesh and overall upper on the 17 was superior because it felt like it could dual as both a running and loungewear shoe. The 18’s “shiny” upper gives it unwanted glistening in the sunlight and sometimes can be blinding during runs. I do think the colorways are strong this year, though. I picked up this beige-cream color and it goes well when I wear it in the clinic. They’re still very comfortable for all-day patient care!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've run in Ghost's for many years. The 18 is great, as always. The only downside I've experienced so far is the thin shoe tongue - I'm used to more padding there. The overall cushion, stability and general feel of the shoe is great - as I've come to expect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good versatile shoe! Great for all different type of runs like tempos, regular training runs, treadmills.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Left foot has had pain/ache since running in this pair. Never had an issue with earlier Ghost models. Pain is on the side of the left foot at the base of the 5th metatarsal. Feels almost like a bone bruise but likely more a peroneal tendonitis.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with these shoes. Feels great on my feet. Price is still high for a pair of shoes, but overall a shoe for walking on my treadmill.

The Ghost 18 is my favorite 2nd pair for daily wear very attractive and masculine looking shoe!!!!!

I hate these shoes if I could give them a 0 rating I would. They have your heel lifted up and all your weight is on the ball of your foot. Why can't brooks leave these shoes alone have you ever heard if it ain't broke don't fix it. I sent the ghost 18 back they were not wearable. I am looking at Hoka and some other brands. I have been wearing ghost shoes for 12 years but will have to start wearing something else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third pair of ghosts and my favorite ones yet!

I’ve worn Brooks for over 10 years. The last good Brooks shoe was the ghost 16. I don’t know why shoe designers have moved to making all shoes with big stack heights and think that everyone wants a plushy shoe. Designers are also making shoes to narrow. Here is my recommendation for the design/marketing team. Start giving customers options. Offer a couple of models with low, more firm stack heights, keep the same width as the ghost 16’s, and reduce the heel to toe drop to 8mm or 5mm. Some people prefer a more “old school connected to the ground feel” rather than the instability created from feeling like you are walking on a cloud. I’m very disappointed with the direction Brooks and most shoe makers are moving towards. There are many other customers who feel the same way. You will expand your customer base by offering more options. Many people have moved away from brooks to go with other brands like Altras and Topos because they offer lower stack heights, lower heel to toe drops, and have a wider toe box.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a shoe that feels a little firmer underfoot than my go-to shoe for long runs. I want to alternate between plush cushion and a firmer cushion. This one fits the bill. It’s firmer, and not too firm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable ride. Use them mainly for outdoor running.
