Ghost 5

2 pairs of Brooks Ghost 17 (started with Brooks Ghost 5) for outdoor runs. I also have a pair of Hokas and run with them 1 day a week, but I really hate it. Legs always feel less stable on landing and tire faster--and my pace is less fast. But, with the Hoka runs, my pace is more consistent. Not sure why. I don't use treadmills, but I do hike and walk a lot, and I love walking in the Hokas. Brooks are only for running.

Yeah. I Believe the brooks ghost with the 12mm really Screwed me up with a bunch of issues, not only plantar fasiitis but peroneal tendonitis, as well. i have just ordered a pair of Altra and I hope it helps. My foot doesn’t appear to like to be in high drop shoes anymore. I don’t even like high cushioning or high sole. I have tried on hundreds of shoes annd have exhausted all other options.

I had ghosts (not max) as my road shoes for a year or so. Recently switched to the glycerines and I'm loving them so far! Currently training for a marathon and they're going to be my marathon shoe. I rotate with my trail shoes, which are Hoka challengers. It seems to me like having two different shoes in rotation, especially with different drops, has helped me avoid putting too much pressure on my shins or my calfs. I think both pairs of Brooks that I've had have been 10mm and my Hokas are 5mm.

Yes to this! I bought hokas and they hurt my feet badly and made me walk weird. Brooks Ghosts are great.

I thought the Brooks Ghost (not ghost 2) had a pretty wide toe box in compared to other shoes I’ve had.

I’m a big fan of Nimbus (I currently have the 26 though) and just retired my Glycerin 22 today for a pair of ASICS Megablast. I will say personally I was not a fan of the Glycerin. I’ve been running with Ghosts (my go to for faster 3-5 mile runs) for years and was told Glycerine was like the perfect hybrid of the Ghost Max and Nimbus (which has been my go to for more relaxed long distance runs). After running in the Glycerins my toes and knees always felt beat up. Idk if it’s the toe box but my left foot, middle toe kept chaffing to the point of blisters the last couple of weeks which I’ve never experienced before. All of that said, my personal preference is still Ghost for shorter runners and Nimbus for long runs. Nimbus is less responsive but super comfy for high mileage days.

Yes to this. Also they have extra wide sizes
