Brooks Running Shoes
I have been running for over a decade and have completed countless 5k, 10ks and numerous half marathons. With so many miles logged, I can share which shoe has gained my loyalty and become my ultimate favorite running shoes. Specifically, I love the Brooks Ghost model as they provide the right amount of cushion for my feet. I have purchased every model since the Ghost 8! After a quick check in my closet, I can confirm I am now using the Brooks Women’s Ghost 14. These shoes have good durability and last longer than other running shoes I’ve tried over the years. When it is time to upgrade, I use my old shoes for activities such as mud runs or mowing the lawn.
Of course, with each new Ghost model Brooks comes out with it has some upgrades and new features. If you are wanting to get the newest and latest model, it is currently the Brooks Women’s Ghost 15.
Other fun facts:
- The Brooks Ghost 15 offers a refined 3D Fit Print to create a more seamless, secure fit.
- This Brooks Ghost 15 is a certified PDAC A5500 Diabetic shoe and has been granted the APMA Seal of Acceptance.
One fun cost saving move I take is to always purchase the last season’s model for $40 to $60 dollars less than the new model. I know I’ll get the current model the follow year when it goes down in price. As of this post, the Brooks Ghost are currently retailing for $140. Other cost saving approaches I’ve tried were running shoes from Nike or Adidas at the outlet malls. However, these don’t quite make the cut in terms of comfort and durability for me. I also gave the Saucony Women’s Guide 14 Running Shoe a try but found these were actually too cushiony for my liking.
Finding the right shoe for you
One great thing about Brooks in particular is their “shoe finder” quiz on their website. It takes about 5 minutes to complete, and they point you to the Brooks model that would work best for you. Brooks bases the recommendation on what activity you are planning to use them for and where you will use them. If you haven’t tried Brooks before I’d recommend going through their shoe finder to find the perfect match for your needs. Find the Perfect Running Shoe: Running Shoe Finder | Brooks Running
No matter which running shoe you choose, or how you plan to use them, just be sure to get out there and move!
