3 experts recommend the Brooks Ghost Trail.
A really great hybrid shoe for mixed-surface runs! It feels like a fast road trainer, but you can confidently use it on trails that aren't too technical.

I love this shoe. The Brooks Ghost and Ghost Trail have been my go-to marathon training shoes because they strike the perfect balance of cushion and support. They fit my feet exceptionally well, and I’ve had none of the usual issues with abrasion or blisters that I’ve experienced in other running shoes. For long training miles, that combination of comfort, protection, and consistent fit is hard to beat. The ride feels soft enough to keep my legs fresh, but still supportive enough that I feel stable and confident on the run. My only complaint is that the padding on the upper back heel area tends to wear out sooner than I’d like. That said, I like this shoe so much that I still buy multiple pairs every year. For me, that says it all.
