In Runnea we have had the opportunity to test the new Brooks Ghost 12 And the first sensations could not be better. The shoe gains in comfort, comfort, smoothness in each step. We are talking about a rolling model, with excellent cushioning, for runners with neutral and asphalt tread.

Undoubtedly, being one of the flagships of the American firm, these Brooks Ghost 12 will be in the list of the best Running shoes 2019. In this twelfth version, the Ghost continues to maintain that philosophy of being a model optimized for the runner of average weight, which exceeds 80 kilos, and neutral tread. And of course for long runs with the best cushioning, stability, fit and comfort.

Brooks Ghost 12, most important features and innovations

With respect to the previous version of the Brooks Ghost 11, the latest installment of this renewed Ghost 12 incorporates improvements in its upper with the idea of maximizing that feeling of comfort in every kilometer that you go. There is a change of concept, reflecting the current trend that all Running shoes manufacturers are incorporating in their most characteristic models: the implementation of engineered mesh (Engineered Mesh), and as it seems, based on the construction of a single-piece upper.

In terms of cushioning capacity, the designers at Brooks Running continue to rely on what has worked well in previous silhouettes. Hence, the key to the successful performance of these Brooks Ghost 12 is focused on the combination of materials such as DNA Loft and BioMoGo DNA, providing softness and reactivity, which results in a model that provides a perfect balance without being too soft or too firm.

The main new features of the Brooks Ghost 12 are concentrated in the upper. This new Engineered Mesh translates into a model that incorporates a double-layer mesh, which has a third double purpose: to improve the breathability of the model, on the one hand; and to reduce the seams to the minimum expression. All this results in a more comfortable, responsive and lighter footprint, without a doubt.

Improving support, comfort and style.

It is also true that the fit of the BrooksGhost 12 is considerably improved with this new engineered mesh. Especially with the inclusion of heat seals in the instep area, and by extension throughout the entire eyelet webbing. This moves from flat laces to round laces, allowing for a more personalized fit. Of course, without any loss of support performance.

Of course, all this new look of the upper makes the Brooks Ghost 12 have a more modern and updated design. Something that is also something to keep in mind when it comes to running in style.

Another significant change in the Brooks Ghost 12 can be found in the rearfoot. This time, this new version dispenses with the plastic reinforcements on the outer heel. Instead, it has opted for a more molded heel construction, and, above all, placing more emphasis on a section that all brands are promoting as giving protection to theAchilles heel area , one of the weak points of the runner. So this Ghost 12 features increased padding in the collar of the shoe, as well as a reinforcement element that connects this area with the midsole. So there is no loss of support and stability in the rearfoot.

Although there is a modification in the tread pattern, the outsole of the Brooks Ghost 12 maintains the same pattern with four transversal flex grooves in the forefoot area, while in the rear area the horseshoe shape is maintained. All this ensures traction and grip.
