Brooks Men's Ghost GTX Running Shoes Review

Customer Ratings:

Just received these and have fallen in love! The fit on this is absolutely

true to size and very comfortable. Not too much swimming around anwhere in

the shoe and very comfortable.

I will wear these every day and have worn in the wet weather. Great grip

and water resistance and just heavy enough to resist the elements well. Decent

cushioning and very comfortable at the sole. Ran in these 1-2 times and they

offer very solid support. Sole is very grippy without being too thick or

heavy. If you are planning on very heavy trail running (lots of rocks, etc.), these

may not do the job for you, but otherwise a perfect match for the outdoors.

Look like they are also very well made and I expect will hold up for a

long period. Look, fit, finish and quality is A-1. Very snazzy IMHO.

They seem breathable, but if you plan to wear these in very warm/hot conditions,

they might be somewhat hot. Hasn't bothered me at all yet, but this is probably

because of the Gore-Tex built into the outside. For the winter/fall, this is

exactly what I was after.

It just seems that new shoes always feel good, since the elasticity in the sole is still new. However with an all around running shoe, like this trail runner, one has to take it off-road for a bit as well. The shoe is not the lightest but keep in mind your stride. I find the weight of a shoe helps maintain momentum when running at a constant pace and these shoes seem well suited for my build, 5 foot, 11 inches with a 32 inch inseam.

Traction off-road was excellent up muddy hills. This time of year we have wet leaves on the ground which requires some caution with any runner wearing any shoe. In general, I have found a tire tread pattern seems best for off-road trainers.

The fit is true to size. I did not have any heel slippage. However, like most running shoes today, there is a pair of small ankle lace holes which one can use.

As a rule, I typically replace the flimsy factory inner sole with an orthotic style inner sole to support my flat arches. Unlike some running shoes, these did not come with various sized arch support inserts.

Other than some mud puddles, I have not had a chance to test the gortex.

Best Deals on Brooks Men's Ghost GTX Running Shoes

I've had my Brooks Ghost GTX's for 6+ months. I'm pleased with every aspect of these shoes except for their soles. In the forefoot area they are wearing thin and will probably need to be replaced within the next few months. I walk/run roughly 20 miles per week (primarily on pavement) and the sole is wearing out faster in that area than on any other athletic shoe I have ever worn. My suggestion is for Brooks to consider using a more durable material on future versions.

Honest reviews on Brooks Men's Ghost GTX Running Shoes

This is the second pair of these I've bought. They run true to size and have a wide toe box for comfort. I wear them every day and the first pair lasted a year before showing some wear on the top of one. The bottoms are very durable and they repel water nicely. They are not totally waterproof when you get them completely immersed over the laces but do an excellent job overall. Expensive but worth it.
