How it ranks
The Brooks Ghost 6 ranks below most daily trainers in our data. Cushioning and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 55 runner reviews and 13 other rated shoes in the Ghost product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
95/100
“The amount of cushioning is great. They don't feel squishy, but by the end of a 15-mile run, you can tell the cushioning was there and saving your legs.”
“I've logged 400 miles in the shoe with absolutely zero wear and tear on the shoe at all.”
“On a 10- to 15-mile run, I pretty much never thought about how my shoes were feeling.”
“The shoe works to fit my foot like a glove while also possessing an outsole that is soft and provides great traction on the road.”
“Great responsive ride. Cushioned but not overly cushioned.”
“The Ghost is very comfortable and not rigid at all. Moves with my foot and feels great.”
“Very good fit, not too tight or too loose, which is often hard to find.”
“I've run about 200 miles in the pair that I'm currently wearing and they have held up well through speedwork, regular runs and long runs.”
“The wide toe box allows the toes to fully spread.”
“Switched to Ghost 6 and haven't had any IT Band pain since.”
