Comments about Womens Brooks Ghost 5 Running Shoe:

Looking for a replacement for my Pegasus 28s (29s didn't cut it and can't wait for the 30s to come out in August) I tried these because they worked for a friend who has often been happy with the same shoes I run in. Did not quite fit me right. I have a fairly wide toe but these were still sloppy in the toe box. Also, the collar seemed a little too short for the shoe and the laces were much too short (I like to do the heel-lock lacing using the extra holes). Overall not comfortable enough for me to even take out for a run, so I sent them back.

The best shoe after wearing surgical boot for 4 months and resolving plantar fasccitis. Communication from supplier was frequent and quite creative. Delivery was delayed by weekend and holiday, but still reasonable

I absolutely love these shoes!! I am a college cross country and track athlete and they are perfect for my training on the pavement and dirt. The colors are great too!

Comments about Womens Brooks Ghost 5 Running Shoe:

I would like to say that the shoes make me jump higher and run faster, but they don't - however, they are very comfortable and support my plantar fasciitis. These are my second pair.

Better for the treadmill and gym. Harder on the legs when outside.

I bought these shoes and the next week ran a 1/2 marathon. These shoes were higher up on my feet and I tied my laces too tight and got a small bruise (my fault) other than that I laced them up differently and now they are great!

Comments about Womens Brooks Ghost 5 Running Shoe:

Very comfy but a bit bulky. When they're new they're awesome but they break down after a few hundred road miles.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ghost 5 Running Shoe:

I run about 25 miles per week & Ghost is my go-to shoe. This is my second pair of 5's. I love them! Mixed feelings about the 6 coming out in July!

I run 40 miles a week at 58 years old with back, hip and knee problems, I also pronate. I need really GOOD shoes. I knew after trying a pair of these on they might be good but until you start running in them you never know. Truly one of the best shoes I've ever worn, still new so hoping they wear well and keep the cushion. A super shoe, thinking about buying another pair and sitting them on the shelf for next time.

RRS is one of the most efficient, courteous and decent online sports companies I've dealt with through the years, as good as the shoes they sell.

About me: Run 20 miles per week. Had Plantar Fasciitis Release Surgery in 11/10. Wear custom orthotics to run in. Trained and ran a half in these shoes nailing a PR. Have about 225 miles on these shoes.

I had never tried Brooks before and was a Peagus Nike girl. Hubby had some Ghost 3 that I heard all the time how awesome they were. I needed a wide shoe which limits my options. Once I saw the Ghost had a wide I gave it a try.

The shoe is very comfortable and fits my custom orthotics very well. I feel they have more cushion than the Pegasus. I run on pavement and also on a dirt median and have had no trouble bringing these on this dirt surface.

The shoe hugs my orthotic keeping it where I need it for support. I have not had issues with Plantar Fasciitis with this shoe. It seems pretty light but with my orthotics they are more heavy but I still feel pretty light with them on.

Overall this is a good work horse type shoe. I did lots of long runs training for my half and wore them at my race. I also placed in my age group in a 5K recently with them so you can move in them.

I feel I got a lot for my money. They are not exciting or sexy, but they get me down the road and back with cushion and support.

I plan to get another pair soon since I am getting up in miles on them fast.

I run outside several times a week on rolling hills of pavement and have been struggling to pass the the three mile mark before tendinitis gets the better of me. Bye bye tendinitis and bye bye Saucony Hurricanes. Love my Ghosts

Great, comfortable shoes!

Comments about Womens Brooks Ghost 5 Running Shoe:

I have only been running with them for three weeks, but so far they are working out great. I mainly run on pavement with them. The comfort and support is great. I haven't tried them on trails or gravel yet. My feet don't hurt when I'm done running. I don't get shin slints anymore. I knee hurts sometimes, but I think that is because I am just starting to run. So far I haven't had much to complain about for this shoe.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ghost 5 Running Shoe:

Have had this pair of shoes for 3 weeks now and through several runs and cross training activities, has been very comfortable and exactly what I was looking for!

Comments about Womens Brooks Ghost 5 Running Shoe:

I've been a Brooks fan for some time since they seem to have attributes that I like - wide toe box and good arch support. The last Ghost I had was the 2, and these are similar to that version. I would recommend these for trainers up to marathon distance, however, I've recently developed Plantar Faciitis, and because of this I am switching to a shoe with a bit more cushioning.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ghost 5 Running Shoe:

I use these shoes in the gym every day and they have great arch support and are lightweight! I love them!

Comments about Womens Brooks Ghost 5 Running Shoe:

This shoe has helped with my foot cramps and calf/Achilles problem with the first run. I would recommend them to anyone that needs a nuetral shoe. I run approx 20-25 miles a week.
