Have progressed through its various iterations. Have had frequent previous injuries and it has helped progressing to a more neutral shoe.

I've been wearing the Ghost 6 (and before this, the Ghost 5) for the past 3.5 years, and they've been great. It doesn't take long to break in a new pair, and I've stuck with them for so long now because they really work for me!!

I got this shoe with a huge discount, which was awesome. I had previously run in the Nike Pegasus but I wanted to switch to Brooks, and I think the Ghost is very comfortable and not rigid at all. Moves with my foot and feels great.
