These Brooks Ghost Trail shoes are great! I've been wearing Ghost for several years and replace them every three months as I walk 50 miles per week in all sorts of temperatures and weather. The shoe is more cushioned than the Ghost 17 and the all-terrain traction bottom makes every step a solid one. I'm looking forward to wearing them on snowy and icy roads this winter.

The shoe runs longer than all other Brooks I have. I wish I had sized down half a size.

Same great fit, comfort and performance of the Ghosts I love with better grip for trails, snow and slick roads. These are probably the best trail running shoes I have tried from any brand.

Last pair of Brooks I bought was an 8.5. This 8.5 is too big; I will keep the size 8.

I have been a ghost fan for years but live on gravel roads so the trail sole is perfect. I love the increased cushion. It makes the perfect shoe.

Great shoe for a light hiker/sturdy tennis shoe. The colors are slightly darker than the picture, which I prefer. The dark gray and light pink are perfect. However, this shoe does run large. I read the reviews and sized down a half size. They still feel a bit too big. So I'm returning and going down another half size and I'll see what happens.

Its comfortable and good on grass and turf. There needs to be a goretex version for wet turf.

It was narrower than expected and the tongue didn't settle correctly over the top of my foot.

I didn't think these offered as much arch support as my New Balance. An orthotic person recommended Brooks because she likes them but I wills stay with New Balance in the future.

I love the Books brand, and have for over 15 years. These Ghost Trail shoes are comfortable, and I love the “extra” traction on gravel and loose ground cover. The toe box, feels a little bit narrow from previous Brooks I’ve had. The best pair of Brooks that I purchased, probably 3 years ago had great bright designs on them from an artist that used some of the profits to support LGBTQ causes. I put those Brooks on with zero break in! Over all, Brooks are the best for my feet.

I am in love with these!!! As an avid hiker, I have been wearing boots but made the change to these. Wow!!! So happy I did. I will only wear my boots in really muddy conditions and these are my new trail shoes for everything else!

As a dog walker I walk 4-5 miles per day, so these sneakers are a life saver for me. I suffer from both Plantar Fasciitis and Hammer toes, and the Brooks Ghost Trail sneakers keep my feet pain free!

Ive worn these on concrete and the trail, I found them to be definitely better for trails. They are extremely comfortable for my wide feet (I got the 7.5 wide). I wanted to get another pair in a different color but there are no others available. Can you PLEASE make a black/black pair? 100% would purchase again.

These shoes are very comfortable underfoot and feel like a typical Brooks in terms of cushioning and support. The style and colors are great as well.However, the upper runs lower in volume over the top of the foot compared to other Brooks models Ive worn (like the Adrenaline or Ghost). I have a normal-width foot but a slightly higher instep, and the shoe felt snug across the top even when the length was correct. The tongue also didnt fully cover the top of my foot, and I could see my socks through the eyelets, which hasnt happened to me in other Brooks shoes.This may work well for someone with a lower-volume foot or who prefers a more locked-in fit for trails, but for me it felt too tight across the top, especially considering foot swelling during longer walks or hikes.Overall, a great-looking and well-cushioned shoe, just not the right fit for my foot shape.

who is designing the Brooks trail shoes lately with all the white and light colors that get dirty the second you hit the trail? If you are on trails, you know they get dirty so fast, esp. over time. Hey Brooks, please start hiring people who actually understand what it is like to be on the trail. The color system will be completely different than what you are offering now. In the meantime, I'm holding all of my Brooks purchases until you can migrate out of the very light colors that are completely not functional.

Super comfortable and I appreciate that they are also cute! Lots of front support and they feel like you are walking on a cloud! I got them for long walks, casual trails, and cardio at the gym. Theyre a fantastic fit and I would get them again!

Very pleased about this trail vision of the ghost! They feel great and have a nice bouncy effect that I love. I only wish they were a smidge wider in the toe box. Otherwise these are going to be a great shoe for my trail running this summer!

I love my brooks, but I have trouble finding size "wide" in any colors I like except for Black. Even in stores and they can't order them for me. Wondering why not in 8.5 wide????
