Add up the effects of all those shock absorbers, and you get a smooth ride. Each one works independently to adjust to the landing of your foot, whether you’re a heel striker, forefoot striker or anything in between. Designers used what they call a Segmented Crash Pad and Flex Grooves in the forefoot.īrooks says the Segmented Crash Pad is like a row of little shock absorbers built covertly into the outsole. “They just work, and I don’t have to think about them once I put them on.”īrooks attributes part of that smooth feeling to the outsole. “I don’t have anything bad to say about the new Ghost,” he says. One Fleet Feet tester loved how the shoe rolled seamlessly onto the toe to get him off to the next step. The soft landings are enhanced by the Ghost’s buttery transitions. The extra soft foam makes landings easier for heel strikers and adds cushion into the transition onto your forefoot. The Ghost 12 rides just like you expect it to.ĭNA Loft foam runs from the heel through the midfoot on the lateral side. It’s a small detail, but, like a leather-wrapped steering wheel on a car, it gives the shoe a premium feel. They're soft to the touch and slide nicely through the eyelets when you cinch them down.
One (small) thing testers loved about the new Ghost 12 is how smooth the tubular laces are. There’s no guesswork with the straightforward lacing pattern, and there’s an empty eyelet at the top of the shoe for runners who need it to lock in the fit. To tie it down, Brooks kept things classic. It makes the whole shoe feel secure.”Īdding to the comfort, Brooks coated the ankle collar and heel in a soft fabric to mitigate any rubbing that could lead to chafing and blisters. “I love how the heel cup holds on to my foot. “My heel never budged in this shoe,” he says. One Fleet Feet runner loved how it locked in his heel. Brooks used an internal heel counter on the Ghost 12, which lends rigidity and structure to the back of the shoe. Printed overlays on the mesh help maintain the shoe's shape and add a touch of subdued styling to the already minimal look. The mesh makes the forefoot and midfoot feel roomy and comfortable, even for wider feet. It has enough stretch to mold to the widest part of your foot, and it doesn’t restrict your movement. The soft, pliable mesh is comfortable from the moment you step into the shoe. Like the Ghost 11, Brooks gave the Ghost 12 an engineered mesh upper. Premium materials and an accommodating fit make the Ghost 12 ideal for people who want a comfortable, reliable running shoe.
