The Brooks Ghost range

The Brooks Ghost is Brooks' most popular neutral trainer: the versatile go-to for daily runs, with soft, balanced cushioning that suits beginners and seasoned runners alike. Its DNA LOFT v3 foam delivers smooth transitions and dependable comfort, mile after mile.

From one generation to the next — up to the new Ghost 18 — Brooks refines the cushioning, the upper and the fit without straying from the line's DNA: a soft, stable, no-surprises shoe. The Ghost family has also grown with the Ghost Max (max cushioning and a rockered midsole), the Ghost Trail for paths, and the waterproof Ghost GTX for fall and winter.

Want more plush? Look at the Brooks Glycerin. Need support against overpronation? The Adrenaline GTS is the stability version of the Ghost. Want something lighter and snappier for fast sessions? The Brooks Launch is the brand's quick daily trainer.
