Product Description
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 cushioningcement 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. > See the Women's Ghost 5 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!Category: Neutral Weight: 10.7 oz Platform: Universal Construction: Strobel DNA: Anatomical Launch Date: May 1, 2012

Spoiler alert: This review is not written by a runner.I'm an "old guy" who is LMAO after reading JRO's review about the Brooks Men's Ghost 5 Running Shoe, where the author wished he could have purchased the yellow model vs. the blue, because he thought the blue "...looked like an old man shoe." Maybe so, but he was spot-on with his assessment of this shoe as "phenomenal."I purchased mine at the end of a long day of trying to find a decent pair of "shoes for walking." You want to talk about shoes that look like "old man shoes," take a look at any popular "walking" shoe. The nuns who taught me in Catholic grade school might find them stylish, not me. I don't know anything about "neutral", and I can't compare these Brooks shoes to any other running shoes, but I know comfortable...and they are the epitome.So as a last resort I wandered in to our local Runners Image store, and told the staff that I wanted a "shoe for walking." A quick glance at their shoe display told me I didn't have to worry about them grabbing a pair of nun's shoes to try. I also explained that I suffer from posterior tibial tendonitis. They could see that at 5'9' and 230 lbs, I'm not packing a runner's physique. I also have a wider than normal foot, but not necessarily a duck foot. The staff produced a pair of Brooks Ghost 5's, and it was immediate comfort. After wearing these gems for a couple of weeks, I haven't had any tendonitis flare-ups, and my knees aren't freaked-out from an unnatural gait from favoring a sore foot.At this point I'd rather give up my AARP card and senior citizen discounts than my Brooks Ghost 5's. Might even buy a pair in yellow, in case they are the fountain of youth!

I am a novice runner. I played football in high school (defensive line) and did some power lifting. But those days are long gone, I'm married and I've put on about 60 lbs since high school. I'm a big guy, and probably huge by a real runner's standards. I am 6'2 and 300 lbs. So needless to say in order for me to run comfortably I need to have a phenomenal shoe. Brooks Ghost 5 is a phenomenal shoe. I ran 1.5 miles this morning pain free. No knee problems, no ankle swelling. I would highly recommend this type of shoe to anyone. It is a neutral shoe, so if you're looking for a stability shoe then these probably won't cut it. But for you neutral runners out there I can't imagine this not being an amazing shoe for any runner.It is fairly light compared to my Nike Shox, but it's not nearly as lightweight as New Balance Minimus or any of the barefoot shoes. If you're looking for comfort and an excellent performer then I would definitely say this shoe is worth a look!My only con is I wish I had gotten the yellow. I'm a young guy and I feel like the blue makes it look like an old man shoe.

I have been wearing Brooks running shoes for many years now. I bought a pair of Pure Cadences a few months ago and did not like them. I sent an email to the company just to let them know about my dissatisfaction with the shoe. I had no thought or desire to get a new pair. However, I was contacted and they did not ask any questions but told me to mail mine back and pick any shoe of equal or lesser value from their website and they would exchange. By far the best customer Service. Plus they are made in the USA. I totally support any product this company puts out. All have been quality. Even the Pure Cadences were comfortable but just not what I was looking for in a running shoe.
