Tongue Tied

Super comfy, but the tongue did not fully cover my foot, which is why I returned them.

So Nice, I Bought It Twice.

Immediately purchased another pair. Traction for my trails were perfect and they feel great transitioning to everyday casual wear. Exactly what I was looking for.

Forefoot/toebox Room Better Than The Cascadia 20, But Still Too Narrow.

I had tried the Cascadia 20 before returning them due to a narrow forefoot/toebox and Brooks recommended this Ghost Trail because of its wider forefoot/toebox. I can honestly say that the forefoot/toebox is a little bit wider with a little more room, but still does not allow any toe splay at all with my forefoot/toes still feeling cramped. Cascadia 20 rear and midfoot fit and midsole cushioning is definitely superior to the Ghost Trail.

Just Okay

Good lucking shoe, and comfortable for the most part except for the upper laces. There may be a bit of a design flaw. I find that upper is too wide, and the tongue is too narrow. The last two eyelets have a large gap between the upper and tongue allowing the laces to make contact with the sock/foot creating friction spots as there is no tongue or upper to protect your foot. If they fixed that these would get a higher rating.

Great Shoes

Great shoes for taking to the trails, they give good grip

Great Cushioning For The Trail

There are three distinct things I like about these sneakers. 1) There’s more than sufficient room in the toe box to make trail running or hiking comfortable. 2) these sneakers are light without feeling compromised or cheap. 3) I am flat footed and the cushioning and rebound are just about perfect for my needs. They might not feel as fast as let’s say HOKA Speedgoats, but they feel great on inclines where you need composure for sound footing and like I mentioned before, there’s enough room in the toe box on downhills where you don’t feel as if your toes are being pinched. I can see myself buying another pair. I have narrow feet so these are perfect for me. These sneakers replaced Nike Pegasus Trail and I feel like the platform on these Brook’s are more composed. Also, the top of the sneakers are made of a more solid knit fabric that repels dust and dirt better than the Nikes and will like provide better coverage if you get caught in the rain.

sooo many blisters, bought an extra wide and felt narrower than standard sizes

First Time, Brooks Customer, Extremely Comfortable Shoes.

This is my first experience with Brooks shoes. And I’m very pleasantly surprised on how comfortable they truly are. I love the style and the fact that they’re offered in wide. This is the reason why I chose to give them a try. These shoes are rated as stable. I can’t wait to try the plush. I highly recommend this product.

Brooks Ghost Trtail

Purchased the Ghost Trailtack on 6/4/2026. Typically, I wear an 8 shoe size. With Brooks shoes I wear an 8.5. This is my 3rd Brooks shoe. All are 8.5 shoe size. The Ghost Trail is probably the most comfortable shoe I have purchased in many years. Excellent support and comfort. I mid July 2026 I was on a Canadian fishing trip and I stood off and on for over 5 hours with no foot discomfort. On 7/7/2026 I hiked up Twin Creek Trail to Twin Peaks. This is near Winter Park ski area in Colorado. The climb was approximately 1900 feet in elevation gain in 2.4 miles. Absolutely, no foot pain, no blisters. These shoes rock. If your feet fit Brooks shoes I would highly recommend this model.

Early Impression

I've purchased brooks shoes before but this particular pair I the most. Especially the looks, and comfortnes. Would recommend to everyone.

Best Ghost Shoe By Far

I have own the Ghost 15, but the new Ghost Trail is so much better. The fit and comfort level is much more superior than the Ghost 15. The color combinations makes it an attractive shoe also.

You Should Get These Today

first time with a trail shoe and these are great! look good too! I expected a bigger sole build but was surprised by the regular ghost look and feel. Also the brown colors are different very cool.

Dependable Trail Runner, With A Great Aesthetic. Thanks Brooks!

I'm trying the Ghost Trail runners for the first time, and so far I'm impressed. I usually buy Cascadias, but I like the look of the Ghosts better and have even been wearing them casually. I also took them on my first hike, and they performed great with no issues. One theory I have is that trail runners may actually be a good option for heavier runners, even on pavement. When the lugs contact hard surfaces like concrete, they seem to compress and deform just a bit before fully gripping. It's almost like the tiny amount of natural forward movement your foot gets on dirt or sand, except controlled enough that you never actually feel like you're slipping. It's not extra cushioning. It feels like the impact is spread out over a fraction of a second instead of stopping instantly, and to me that makes the landing feel a little smoother.

Ghost Trail

Used on a couple trails and they seem to do well, feel great as do all my brooks

Brilliant Choice In Running Shoes

These shoes are amazingly perfect! They are light as can be and make running feel effortless and help to give you an added bounce off your heel strike with all the cushion! If I had to say one improvement, they need the extra lace loop to help store your laces. This feature on other Brooks I owned has changed the way I look at shoes now! This needs to become standard across the board ha ha ha! Thank you Brooks for a wonderful pair of sneakers and for being a part of my running journey!
