Not What I Expected

I did have to return these after a 5 mile run. I read all the reviews before buying. This I do appreciate from Brooks. I’m still completely emotionally unstable since I’ve hated every Hyperion Max that came out since the 2’s that were my favorite and the light of my life and thought I’d try a light and responsive shoe by Brooks. It’s squishy. Dreadfully squishy. Like your foot sinking into slime. No energy return. My Achilles flared up about mile 3. I may have to go back to the Hyperion max when they get a new shoe design that isn’t awful. I really wanted to love this shoe. I will say the toe box was roomy enough and I did like that!

Good With Some Improvements Needed

I like the overall fit and feel of the shoe when I put it on. It is a pretty responsive ride however I do think it could be a bit smoother transition with more spring. If you are a heel striker this probably is not for you. I feel the best in these shoes when running faster and my cadence is quicker. Not a slower recovery shoe, at least for me.

Felt Like I Was On Springs

So fast! Bouncy and responsive! I felt like it was flying!

Comfy Fun Shoe

These are super comfy! I have tried them on a treadmill and outdoors, and find that they are especially good for endurance runs- i ran my longest distance in these! I am relatively new to running and usually run in a shoe with a little support (Hyperion max 2 and GTS 2 my faves), but these were suggested by the “shoe finder”, and so far so good to have them in my closet! Love the fun purple too!

The ghost redesign has a narrower toe box than the old ghost 16. Love the way these shoes feel otherwise, but even the wide width rubbed my bunion. Disappointed because sometimes the glycerin is a little too much cushion. I returned these.

Good Trainer

good cushion yet not overdone. I enjoyed this for just daily runs. It is good for some slightly faster runs or just easy runs. I did not have any aches or pains with it. Good ground feel but soft and responsive

Good Shoe!

Shoe is light weight and has some pop when running in it. The tongue seems to be a little taller and nagged a little at first. Overall a good shoe but I find the glycerin flex is a little more comfortable for me personally. I ordered the same size I always do and it fit perfect

Great Shoe

I feel like the amps are way better than the new ghost. The fit well and feel great running in them and doing HIIT workouts.

Good Addition To The Ghost Line

The Ghost Amp is a great addition to the Ghost line. I enjoy the softness it provides underfoot and it gives a nice boost on toe off without being too aggressive.

Love It!

Got these for my daughter. She loves them. Says they’re comfy and easy to put on in the morning when she’s getting ready for school. She liked the different color options as well. When she runs they feel like they’re supporting her foot well better than her previous shoes.

Fun Springy Ride

The Brooks Ghost 👻 Amp is a new road shoe with a fun, springy, responsive ride and new innovative technology. The Ghost Amp doesn’t have a plate, but uses a new midsole foam, DNA HYPE, and SpringRamp technology to mimic the bouncy, propulsive toe-offs found in plated shoes. This shoe is lightweight, and lower drop (6mm), and has a breathable warp-knit upper, perfect for the hot, humid Nebraska summers! I’ve got narrower, overall lower volume feet, and these shoes fit true-to-size, and I had plenty of space in terms of toe box width and plenty of cushioning in the heel. I used these for running and walking on pavement, lifting and indoor/outdoor bootcamp classes and they felt great, and the springy ride was super fun! The outsole has plenty of traction, but I’d recommend sticking to pavement, treadmill, or fitness classes versus gravel running or trails. If you’re looking to add a daily trainer with a peppy feel, and added bonus of cute colors, try the Brooks Ghost Amp! Thanks to Brooks Running and ExpertVoice to setting me up with the opportunity to test this shoe for free!

Hurt Feet

I really wanted to like these shoes but unfortunately they did not work for my feet. I decided to take them out for a light run and by the end of it I had a blister on each heel and the bottom of my feet hurt. I'm giving 3 stars because the return process was so easy and fast. I am going to give brooks another try and order a different shoe to see if they work better for my feet.

Bouncy And Responsive

Felt really built up laterally at first but after 1-2 runs love the cushion and bounce with each step

Should Have Bought Much Sooner

So far, so good. Very comfortable as I continue to train for November. Fits me just right with just enough cushion. Had run my last marathon on a pair of Ghost 14s. Wish I bought them sooner as the pair of sneakers I bought in January from a different brand I believe attributed to an injury or at least didn't help.

The Cushioned Upgrade Your Feet Will Thank You For.

I got the chance to wear the new Brooks Ghost Amp, and I can confidently say I’m stoked on this evolution of the Ghost. The moment I put them on, that nitrogen‑infused DNA HYPE cushioning hit me, your foot feels like it’s getting hugged by a tiny, overly enthusiastic marshmallow that refuses to let go. I spend a lot of time on my feet walking and working on concrete floors, and I had zero foot fatigue by the end of the day. The upper felt instantly familiar as someone who’s worn Ghosts for years, and the laces are fantastic, they stayed tied like they actually understood the assignment. Overall, the shoe felt breathable and the lightly cushioned tongue stayed in place well. On the track, the shoe had a great balance of stack height and forward propulsion. It felt lightweight, smooth, and never clunky. Overall, this is a seriously fun update to the Ghost lineup, and I’m pumped to keep it in my rotation. I can recommend it to anyone looking for a daily shoe to put in miles on the pavement and likes a bit of cushion. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
