The Ghost 5 running shoe from Brooks has been named “Editor’s Choice” in the Runner’s World 2012 Shoe Guide. I received the Ghost 5 shoe in an outstanding purple & turquoise color. The colors look great together. This shoe also comes in two additional color options. I really liked the overall look of the shoe, and love that I can now exercise in style!
The Ghost 5 running shoe is lightweight and comfortable. One of the features I liked was that the tongue of the shoe is thick and padded. My last pair of shoes had a very thin tongue and the tops of my feet would hurt right wear the bow is tied. That doesn’t seem to be an issue with these shoes. They’re made of a mesh material that offers breathability. There’s a very slight amount of cushioning to give your feet the comfort it needs.
I am not a runner, but I have been trying to get some exercise in as much as possible. I’ve used these shoes for walking, jogging, and while using the elliptical. When I first tried them out I did go for a run, and It definitely added a spring to my step! I really liked the flexibility it offers. I have had no problems with these shoes and am very satisfied. Comfortable shoes are important, they give me the motivation I need to get up and exercise!
If you’re looking for a perfect gift for the runner in your life, these are a great option. There is a men’s version as well. You can purchase these shoes for $110 from Brooks online. If you’d like to try them on before purchase you can search for a retailer near you at their online site.
Disclosure: I received these shoes for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I go for really long walks and my shoes are getting really worn and I have been looking into various shoes these look like they might be something to check out thank you for a great review. Happy Holidays.
Those are so cute! It’s not often that you find good running shoes with color! Thanks!
Those shoes look and sound awesome! I am not a runner but I always need good shoes to exercise in and for everyday shoes. I haven’t heard of these before the next time I need shoes I am going to look for them.
it sure does look comfortable. I have a tennis shoe similar to this and a nike brand
I am so jealous! Brooks are awesome, my husband is married to his. They make me want to start exercising!
Those are pretty nice looking shoes!
THESE SHOES NOT ONLY LOOK COMFORTABLE BUT THERE GREAT LOOKING SHOES THANKS FOR THE REVIEW
Oh wow, I actually love this style. Running shoes or not, I’d wear these just because of the colors, Lol.
I love the colours of these shoes. Any idea how they would hold up to the rain and/or snow?
I’m sure they’d be fine, but I’m not sure if your feet would stay dry. I haven’t had the chance to wear them in the rain yet though, and we don’t have snow here, so I’ll never know!
Love the colors on these.. they look SO comfortable.
