Brooks Ghost 18 gtx Women's review: what runners say

Fit

True to size with a slightly wider toe box than the Ghost 17. Available in multiple widths; secure heel lockdown with good midfoot containment.

Feel

Moderate cushioning with DNA Loft v3: stable, ground-feel sensation, not plush. Smooth transition thanks to flex grooves; 10 mm drop favors heel strikers.

Durability

Full-coverage RoadTack outsole. Minimal wear beyond 50 km in testing; construction suited for extended training cycles. Expected high mileage for the category.

Best for

Daily trainer for neutral runners, beginners, and those logging regular mileage on asphalt. Also effective for long walks. Not suited for speed sessions or those seeking an energetic ride.

Weak points

Weight (10.2 oz men's) felt excessive for fast runs. 10 mm drop is uncomfortable for midfoot and forefoot strikers. Some report tongue bunching with extended use.
