    I am an avid runner and have been for 10 years now, I have many miles and races including marathons under my belt and have had many shoes on my feet, I have used and abused brooks running shoes from the start. The Ghost 3 is on the top of my list as far as shoes are concerned hands down. Ive put some serious miles on them now and they have held up their end beautifully through rain, snow and some pretty warm days in south Georgia. They are durable comfortable and have just the right amount of cushioning.They are great for 26.2 mi. and for 3.1 mi. A great shoe all the way around. I personally will be owning a second pair and third and fourth as long as they are available. Thank you Brooks for always supplying excellence in the world of running. And for all that are dissatisfied with this shoe, don't bash the shoe or the Brooks name, just take the time to get fitted properly for the correct shoe for yourself. Run Happy Everyone!

    The Defyance 2 was the best running shoe I have ever owned. It was my first time with brooks, and I happily bought a second pair. Since the 2 doesn't exist anymore, and after reading the reviews slamming the Defyance 3, I decided to move to this shoe as the suggested replacement. Not even close.

    All of the niggling aches and pains I used to get from hard training came back after my first run in these shoes. The cushioning is not that great. Nor is the responsiveness. I don't know why this shoe is recommended for runners with high arches and some under pronation. (I have both.) It feels like I bought a $40 shoe for $100+.

    I thought I had found my lifetime brand of shoe in Brooks, but I guess you just got lucky with one model. Please add my comment to the ones on the Defyance 3 shoe asking why you had to mess up a good thing.

    If the 2 comes back, I'll give Brooks another try.

    Comments about Ghost 3:

    Just received my 4th pair of the Ghost 3. Best show I've ever owned. Normally suffer from joint pain and shin splints, switched to the Ghost 3 and haven't had any pain. Comfortable on long runs, good cushioning. I wish they didn't discontinue this model, paranoid that the Ghost 4 won't be as good as the Ghost 3.

        I just passed 1100 miles o my first pair, and bought another. They are a bit mushy for the first 100 miles or so, but are nice, low, and light aft that. Great for distance training.

                    I've been wearing Brooks shoes for 10 years. They have significantly reduced injuries. I spend less time healing and more time running.

                      This is my third pair of Brooks Ghost running shoes. I have progressed through all three models. They fit perfectly, reduce strain on my feet and legs, and breathe very well. I recommend them to anyone who can wear these depending on your type of step.
