Recommended: Good running shoes for women



Upper

For a moderately lightweight shoe, they have great cushioning suited to long runs. I was surprised by how heavy they were in my hands, at the first sight, I thought the sole seemed too big, however, when running into them, they were really a lightweight product.

Style

This is the newest edition of Brooks’ best-selling neutral shoe. Brooks Ghost 6 Running Shoe is considered an expensive product. For me, however, t’s deserves that price. Because it gives me a high-quality pair of shoes, a comfortable feeling when run, creates more motivation for me to run harder.

Terrain

I found the sole unit of the Ghost 6 to be extremely durable, as in previous versions. It holds up well through the miles on pavement, even uneven, rocky paths, and cracked non-technical trails, and on the track. The Ghost 5 lasted comfortably for about 450 miles and the Ghost 6 seem to have the same capability.

Drop

Brooks always offers a nice style for each product. The style is simple but attractive, the color is easy on the eyes. I am perfectly conquered by nice looking of this running shoe line. I’m sure that many customers also have the same idea as me.


Stability

The Ghost’s sole unit in this version has a significant update that enhances the more responsive ride. The caterpillar crash pad has again been extended, wrapping all around the heel. The indentations in the crash pad are designed to extend as the shoe makes contact, helping the running feel the ground and making for a more responsive ride and adding additional shock absorption.


Flexibility

I overpronate and have slightly low arches, and feel safe in these. However, I think that this shoe is lighter than the other versions of the Ghosts, but it seems to be less stable than others.


Traction

The toe box is tapered perfectly and fits my forefoot like a glove. The heel wraps around my ankle to provide support but allow for good movement. An Additional padding around the heel and collar keep the shoe securely in place and prevent uncomfortable rubbing or chafing. In addition, The Brook Ghost 6 features no-sew overlays in the forefoot which reduces potential friction spots and helps to structure the fit. I like a wider room toe box than most Nike shoes afford and have normal pronation with only minimal heel strike. My only complaint is they were a little too tight in the toe. My big toes developed small blisters on the outside corners. If your feet run a little long, I might recommend ordering a half size up.
