Best Brooks Ghost running shoes
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 3, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Brooks Ghost 18 — the newest Ghost, and the one to start with. It's the neutral daily trainer the line is known for: medium cushioning, a 10 mm drop and a smooth, uncomplicated ride for everyday road miles.
Who the others suit:
- Ghost 17 — same neutral daily formula, a generation back; a good choice if you want the familiar fit and a slightly firmer, lighter feel.
- Ghost 16 — the older version; fine for easy days and walking, but less current than the 17 or 18.
- Brooks Revel — lighter and simpler, for runners who want a fast, stripped-back shoe rather than plush cushioning.
- Brooks Trace — a balanced, budget-friendly neutral option for casual miles.
- Hoka Clifton 10 / New Balance 1080v15 / Nike Vomero Plus — if you'd consider other brands, these are the plusher, max-cushion neutral alternatives.
Sizes and widths vary by listing, so pick the one in your size.
