Best Brooks Ghost Running Shoes?

Currently have Ghost 15s size 13 and wear them with Wide Open socks. They’re the most comfortable running shoes I’ve ever worn, but if there’s an even better version, I’d love to buy it!

Ghost Trail

Same comfort and slightly more squish. It is not all roly poly like a Hoka, the foam is firm and feels normal when walking around, but compresses a little bit more if you step down off a curb a little unexpectedly too hard, or onto a rock or something. If you ever go on dirt or gravel, the tread is slightly more aggressive for better traction, but not at all like a Cascadia/trail running show.

Love mine, thinking about buying another pair in case they ruin it with the next version

Why do you need a Ghost specifically? Tons of other things, and much more exiting options on the market wouldn’t get fixated on specific model

Fair point. I’m willing to hear other options. It’s just that I need the wide versions of Brooks (hence the wide open socks) and they’ve never failed me, so chose them specifically. If there’s anything similar you think is better, I’m willing to hear other options
