Throughout this review, I will inevitably make comparisons with its predecessors. I have still had the opportunity to wear the shoe for a variety of runs in order to be able to review it. Unfortunately, an injury meant I couldn’t compete. In the last few weeks, I’ve run around 60 miles in this shoe and had intended to wear it for the Snowdonia Marathon a couple of weeks ago. I was looking forward to trying out the Brooks Ghost 12. I went on to describe it as being “Built for comfort and for speed.”Ī year later, the Ghost 11 provided a similar experience through a marathon training cycle, and my review was similarly titled “Everyday comfort with a good turn of speed.” I was immediately impressed by its comfort and versatility. How I grew fond of Brooks GhostĪ couple of years ago, the Ghost 10 was the first Brooks shoe I’d worn. With relatively few differences in this latest model, runners should also consider the Ghost 11, which is still widely available and heavily discounted. The sole will easily cope with a range of non-technical trails, while the upper continues to hold the midfoot effectively.

Those who prefer to mix shoes depending upon the type of run may find that the Ghost 12 is the perfect partner for easy runs and long runs.

This shoe could take you from a fast 5k through to a marathon. Ultimately, this remains an incredibly versatile and extremely comfortable daily running shoe. For runners seeking a single shoe “for every occasion,” the Ghost may well be the ideal shoe.Īn update to the ever-popular Ghost line from Brooks, the Ghost 12 sees a few minor improvements from the 11. The Ghost 12 offers a well-cushioned neutral ride and a smooth transition.
