On this last Saturday after my probably last Cross Country meet of the season I went to the Three Rivers Running Company to purchase a new pair of running shoes.  I walked in and asked to try out the Brooks Ghost 5.   This is only my third pair of running shoes, but these shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.  The first pair of shoes I had were the Free Run 2 and I used them for my whole first year of running.

At the end of July I bought a pair of Saucony Progrid Mirage 2 shoes.  These were comfortable but kind of tight near my toes.  The Free Runs felt comfortable to me but they had little support.  The reason I had to get a new pair of shoes after two months of having the Mirage 2 was because they had a hole on each shoe where the little toe rubs against the shoe.  I have ran a couple of miles in the Ghost 5 already and they have the perfect mixture of comfort and support.  Because I have only had the shoes for two days now, I will be updating how I feel about the shoes over time.  I feel like these shoes will last me a little more time than the Saucony Mirage 2.  Also, the Ghost 5 has earned an award from the magazine "Runner's World" as the Editor's Choice.  I suggest that if you are in the market for a new pair of shoes that you buy the Brooks Ghost 5.
