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 exchanged out my Dyad 7's for this because the Dyad made my left foot go numb a bit after 11 minutes.
This is much more comfy but I had to go to a wide to accommodate for longer runs even though I measure as normal width. Ran in it for 20 minutes, felt a lot better than the Glycerin on my shins BUT because I had to go wider to allow for foot room I slipped a bit in them and the inside seam on the shoes (outter edge) kind of was uncomfortable where the sole meets the side of the shoe.
If you have narrow feet this would be perfect because you probably won't have to do wide.
Also please note I am a jogger on the front of the foot ( mid foot striker) as opposed to a full foot runner so this is why we had to give me more room in the shoe. If you run full foot this is a great shoe because the heel is super cushioned.

Used this shoe for two months and the top inside split apart! less than 120 miles on the shoe and Brooks tells me it is within their expected mileage. Then I was told that it was the way I was walking. Well after 18 years of walking 5 times a week for about 15-20 miles a week, you would think if I couldn't walk properly all the other brands would have had problems and I physically would also! I was told this was a great brand of shoe. Well, first pair of Brooks probably last pair of Brooks.

Loved the comfort, loved the fit. Hated when the "good traction" soles made me trip while running. I almost tripped a second time when that good traction stuck to a set of steps. I'll be sore for weeks. I'll never wear them again.

I am currently training for a half marathon and these shoes are amazing so far. I have no pain after long runs like I did when I ran in other brands.

I started wearing these shoes when I first got into running. The old tennis shoes that I had were causing me pain as I increased my mileage. I couldn't be more satisfied with the Ghost once I purchased them. I had them for about 6 months and had put a lot of miles on them when I started having pain in my legs again. I knew it was time to purchase some new shoes. I decided to try something different and purchased a pair of Nike Pegasus. It only took me a week of wearing them, and I was back at the shoe store to exchange them for another pair of Brooks Ghost. I guess it's true what they say. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I bought these at the recommendation of my orthotist. I love the shoe, but I have only had them less than 6 weeks and the bottom rubber soles are coming off.

Bought this product after having foot surgery. Needed a wider and higher sneaker for my right foot. This is the first sneaker that fits all my needs and then some.
