Can you say THREE-peat? Like the Ghost 3 and 4, the Ghost 5 was deemed "Editor’s Choice" in Runner’s World’s Fall 2012 Shoe Guide in the September issue. Runner’s World described the Ghost 5 as "a versatile shoe that can handle whatever workouts you throw at it" and noting that the Ghost "remains fairly lightweight with a soft heel and relatively firm forefoot, which gives wearers a fast feel.” One wear tester said “I didn’t have that 'squishy' feeling I sometimes experience with cushioned shoes." Another said, "The Ghost 5 has excellent cushioning—cement feels like blacktop, blacktop feels like grass, grass feels like clouds! I was able to feel the ground just fine for a strong ride."
We say the Ghost 5 is so supremely smooth and impeccably balanced, it’s scary. We took the best of the award-winning Ghost 3 and 4 designs, built in new innovations, and then merged it all with striking colors and patterns. This shoe hits the sweet spot for a wide range of Neutral runners with a finely crafted Caterpillar Crash Pad and anatomical Brooks DNA.
Love the Ghost but hate running in the rain? The Ghost GTX is also available. Everything you love about the Ghost, but with a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® membrane to keep your feet dry and comfortable. No more blaming it on the rain!

I switched from a pair of ghost 3 to a pair of gho5t. The most noticeable difference is the upper. THe ghost 5 upper is much lighter and more breathable. I got the yellow, its a good looking shoe. I run very neutral, I can speak to the durability of the 3's but have only put 10 miles on my new 5's. The 3's held up really well, i ran in rain, snow, crushed limestone trails, road, and on treadmills. The shoe still looks new. I hope the 5's are the same way. I usually put 300-400 miles on shoes before I replace them. The 5's have felt light, responsive and comfortable on 3 and 5 mile runs so far. The other noticeable difference with these shoes is the tongue. The 5 has a much more cushioned and "fatter" tongue. I find that I have to tighten the shoes a little more near the ankle to get the same feel with the 5's as I had with the 3's. Overall I am very happy with the purchase. I love these shoes so far. If I find any faults I will be sure to come back and update this. Happy Running.

These running shoes feel great on the feet, very comfortable. did a 10 mile run and by the end my legs were aching, particularly my shins. I'm a huge Brooks fan and i LOVE my Ravenna 3. i thought i'd try the Ghost 5 but definitely going back to the Ravenna 3.

Loved the feel of the shoe, but the 2E is too narrow and the instep height is too low. Needs a wider/deeper toe box and 4E width.

I'm not a runner or trainer but an athlete that loves to try everything from trail runs to climbing trees riding bikes and crossing streams on rocks with my daughter, to tackling a Spartan obstacle course or mud run. I hate being pigeon holed, so I need a versatile, durable shoe. Although I've never owned brooks, when I tried them on at the store, they seemed to fit right and felt great in terms of cushion. I also liked features like the small loop that keeps the tongue from shifting (a pet peeve). The cushion around the heel was nice too. I ordered online because the color I liked was not available in store. So far, I am very pleased with the quality, performance, and look of my new Ghost

I have viewed myself as a runner for the past 45 years. Unfortunately, due to what I thought was the result of an aging body, I began to sustain foot injuries which made it impossible to run. For numerous years I walked for my exercise, though I yearned to run. I talked to people. I read magazine articles. Finally, some online research led me to purchasing a pair of Brooks Ghost 5 running shoes. Amazing shoes! I am back running again, and increasing my mileage. I am convinced that it is because of the craftsmanship in the Ghost 5 that I can not only dream of running again, but I am doing it. THANK YOU, Brooks! At age 60, I have my life back.

Purchased the Ghost 5 on recommendation from local running store pros. Was having outside knee pain issues with a mild stability shoe. Have run about 85 miles in the Ghost so far and the knee issues have cleared up. Could be coincidence but the change was noticeable when I started using the more neutral shoe. The comfort level has been outstanding. Highly recommend for neutral runners. I run 25-30 miles per week.

Wanted a shoe that matched my high arch and the web lead me here. These look great and would highly recommend even though they are a little pricey.

I am still trying to figure out if I like these. After around 30 miles over the last week I am still not used to the cushioning. I came from the NB 1063 and these definitely have a lot more cushioning and you feel much less impact. With that comes a heavier shoe though, which I am also trying to get used to.
If you are looking for a shoe with a lot of cushioning, definitely get these. They are very comfortable, they land very soft, and they offer a lot of support.
