The Brooks Ghost 2 is a great match for a neutral runner looking for a lightweight yet durable training shoe. This shoe, weighing only 9.0 oz, makes you feel like you are running on air but with support and cushion throughout. The Brooks Ghost 2 was tested in track workouts, long distance runs and speed workouts. By design, testers found that these shoes worked best during track and speed workouts as well as shorter distance runs. The Ghost 2 was designed with an improved midfoot wrap to support runners who enjoy a secure feel around the arch. This shoe also provides an increased amount of cushioning in the fore-foot. With Brook’s continued green efforts, the Ghost 2 midsole is made of the world’s first-ever biodegradable material made specifically for running shoes, BioMoGo. The shoe’s laces are also made from 100% recycled materials. Testers enjoyed the lightweight feel and support of the Ghost 2.
