The Everyday Shoe That Just Works

The Ghost is a go-to for first-time runners, and plenty of longtime runners never leave it. The men's Ghost 18 is a neutral, middle-of-the-road trainer: cushioned without being mushy, steady without being stiff.

Version 18 updates the fit, with a softer, padded tongue that holds the foot in place, and a breathable mesh upper. More than half the upper uses recycled material.

The Technology

Balanced Cushioning
Brooks rates it "balanced": soft enough for long and recovery runs, lively enough that it doesn't feel dead on quicker days.

Stable Heel, Flexible Forefoot
A secure heel and a forefoot that moves with you give natural stability without a support post.

Padded Tongue and Secure Fit
A cushier tongue sits comfortably on the top of the foot and helps stop sliding inside the shoe.

Breathable Mesh
Light mesh that keeps air moving on warm days.

Who This Shoe Is For

• Men starting to run who want a dependable, comfortable first pair
• Runners logging daily miles who want one shoe for most runs
• Walkers who want a cushioned, everyday shoe
• Ghost regulars ready for the newest version
