The Brooks Ghost line is well-known by runners and has been a very solid shoe option for years. This line is in the neutral, cushion category. I was very pleased with the Brooks Ghost 12 in terms of overall comfort and support.
The shoe felt great while running. It was a good weight for a cushioned daily trainer on foot. It did a lot better in terms of breathability in hot weather than expected. My feet didn’t get hot until the third mile, but it was pretty hot out anyways, so I can’t really avoid it.
The upper is extremely comfortable. It was extremely soft and extremely plush while still having a good lockdown.
On the easier days is where the shoe really shined. It was just soft and cushioned. There was never one time when I did not want to put the shoe on and go out and run. It just provided an excellent feel and really good support.
I had also been having plantar fasciitis issues, and I had never felt it once with this shoe, so that was something that I really enjoyed about the shoe.
Overall, I am incredibly pleased with the ride of the shoe, and with every run that I did even the workouts, it performed very well on.
If you’re someone that’s looking for one shoe that could do it all but wants more cushioning than speed, then this shoe would be good for you.
I really like the look of the shoe—it has a simplistic design. Also, there are many different colorways depending on your preference.
The upper is an engineered mesh. It is a soft and plush upper that does a really well job of being comfortable while still providing good lockdown.
The shoe has a great heel counter that’s plush but still provides very secure lockdown. The tongue is also very plush, which makes sure the laces don’t dig into the top of the feet.
The midsole of this shoe consist of two different types of foam; DNA Loft, and BioMoGo DNA. Both of these foams help the shoe have a soft, comfortable ride, while not feeling too soft and still having a little pop.
The Ghost 12 outsole is blown rubber, which offers long-lasting durability. The outsole also features Omega Flex Grooves, which provides great forefoot flexibility while still maintaining good forefoot cushioning.
The retail price of this shoe is $130, which I feel is a reasonable price for a good daily trainer that can last at least 400 miles and can perform great on most runs.
This shoe is a great shoe option for pretty much any kind of runner. It is comfortable, fairly versatile, and well-engineered.
If you’re a runner who leans more towards cushioning and support rather than speed but still wants a solid all-rounder or every run, then the Brooks Ghost 12 will do you well.
