Comfortable, stable, durable with medium cushioning. Works for running, gym, and walking. Reliable and dependable.
“I've probably run in every version of Brooks Ghost. I keep buying it because it doesn't do anything wrong. It's comfortable, stable, and durable. It has medium cushioning that isn't too soft or firm. It handles everything I throw at it and doubles as a gym and walking shoe.…”

Great weight and versatile for any run type. Lasted 500 miles for some, but others found them shot after 400 miles.
“Asics Novablast 5 Ran in Hoka Bondi 8's for the first year and then wanted to switch it up. Did not realize how heavy Bondi 8's were and realized they were better for walking shoes rather than running. On my second pair of Novablast now after doing 500 Miles in first pair.…”

Favorite running socks that separate toes to prevent blisters, especially for long second toes.

Plain reliable and dependable. Glycerin Max were a revelation.
“Love Brooks! I have the Ghost 16 and 17. Waiting to check out the 18. I also have the Glycerin and I love those as well. Brooks are just plain reliable and dependable. You know what you’re getting. I’ll add that if you are looking for some check out Relay Goods or Brooks…”

Running in them since 2008, purchased about 40 pairs. Always comes back to them.
“I've been running in Nike Vomero since 2008 when I put on my first pair of version 2s. I've probably purchased 40 pairs since then. Occasionally I'll try something a bit less expensive, but I have always come back to the Vomeros.”

Great for everyday wear with lifetime guarantee. Replaced 6-8 year old socks with normal wear holes.
“I used Darn Tough for the longest time…love them for every day wear. And I have to applaud their “lifetime guarantee”. Ive sent 6-8yr old socks back for normal wear and tear holes after using nothing but them. Seriously just wore holes into them over tons of heavy use and they…”
