[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first experience with Brooks shoes. And I’m very pleasantly surprised on how comfortable they truly are. I love the style and the fact that they’re offered in wide. This is the reason why I chose to give them a try. These shoes are rated as stable. I can’t wait to try the plush. I highly recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased the Ghost Trailtack on 6/4/2026. Typically, I wear an 8 shoe size. With Brooks shoes I wear an 8.5. This is my 3rd Brooks shoe. All are 8.5 shoe size. The Ghost Trail is probably the most comfortable shoe I have purchased in many years. Excellent support and comfort. I mid July 2026 I was on a Canadian fishing trip and I stood off and on for over 5 hours with no foot discomfort. On 7/7/2026 I hiked up Twin Creek Trail to Twin Peaks. This is near Winter Park ski area in Colorado. The climb was approximately 1900 feet in elevation gain in 2.4 miles. Absolutely, no foot pain, no blisters. These shoes rock. If your feet fit Brooks shoes I would highly recommend this model.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have own the Ghost 15, but the new Ghost Trail is so much better. The fit and comfort level is much more superior than the Ghost 15. The color combinations makes it an attractive shoe also.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] first time with a trail shoe and these are great! look good too! I expected a bigger sole build but was surprised by the regular ghost look and feel. Also the brown colors are different very cool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm trying the Ghost Trail runners for the first time, and so far I'm impressed. I usually buy Cascadias, but I like the look of the Ghosts better and have even been wearing them casually. I also took them on my first hike, and they performed great with no issues. One theory I have is that trail runners may actually be a good option for heavier runners, even on pavement. When the lugs contact hard surfaces like concrete, they seem to compress and deform just a bit before fully gripping. It's almost like the tiny amount of natural forward movement your foot gets on dirt or sand, except controlled enough that you never actually feel like you're slipping. It's not extra cushioning. It feels like the impact is spread out over a fraction of a second instead of stopping instantly, and to me that makes the landing feel a little smoother.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are amazingly perfect! They are light as can be and make running feel effortless and help to give you an added bounce off your heel strike with all the cushion! If I had to say one improvement, they need the extra lace loop to help store your laces. This feature on other Brooks I owned has changed the way I look at shoes now! This needs to become standard across the board ha ha ha! Thank you Brooks for a wonderful pair of sneakers and for being a part of my running journey!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in the PNW, I wanted a shoe that was a balance between being an athletic fit, having grip for our wet PNW days, and having a more casual look than a typical running shoe. These have been absolutely great. They’re comfortable and casual enough to wear around the office, and I absolutely love the ebony colorway. I have low back issues, and the firmness of these shoes has been very helpful. My main gripe with these is that they are slightly narrower and shorter than my Gylcerins and Cascadias. If I were to use these running, I would maybe size up a half size, but I also haven’t worn these enough to know how much they’ll break in. But, for casual everyday office use, the size has been fine. Also, I’m not sure why the tongues are not gusseted. I have high arches, and, paired with these somewhat narrow tongues, I sometimes can see my socks around the side of the tongue because of how much they get pressed up and become somewhat bunched together. Overall, I’ve been really happy with this shoe!

Great support and grippy / full tread. Makes a great light hiking shoe as well as trail runner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome. I’ve used Ghost for all my running but the Ghost Trail is exactly what I needed. Cushioned for a good ride and still light enough so you are not weighed down
Jacob
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Avid user of the Ghost model along with the Adrenaline. Purchased these and used them on a few trails in Colorado. Coming from the Ghost 17, I noticed a dramatic loss of bounce and overall cushion/comfort. Ran around 12 miles in them over a couple of days and feet have been extremely sore. Will switch back to the Ghost 17 which has been an amazing shoe and look for other trail-ready models
