The Brooks Ghost Trail D Women's Shoes bridge the gap between paved roads and off-road terrain, bringing the popular, soft yet balanced feel of the classic Ghost series straight to the trails.

Designed for runners who want to transition effortlessly from doorstep to dirt, this versatile trail running shoe offers high protection without compromising responsiveness. Weighing just 272g (size 8 USW) on a 36.5mm heel stack height, it’s a favourite choice for runners seeking reliable comfort and seamless all-terrain performance.

An engineered air mesh upper with protective overlays delivers high airflow to keep your feet cool, while a 3D-printed toe cap and mud guard supply essential shielding against loose rocks, roots and trail debris. Nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning cradles your feet, absorbing impact over rugged singletracks and hard pavement for a consistent, steady stride. 

To ensure confident footing across varying surfaces, the TrailTack Green rubber outsole features 3mm lugs in a strategic pattern for hybrid traction. Whether you’re navigating wet bush paths or cruising over dry concrete, you get sticky grip to keep you sure-footed on your next run or hike.

“It’s the ideal companion for everyday adventures into nature.” - Tim Van Beelen, Brooks Merchandising Specialist.  

Key Features:

  • Adventure-ready Version Of The Brooks Ghost: Packs the trusted cushioning of the Brooks Ghost family into a ride fine-tuned for road-to-trail performance.
  • High Stacked Protection: Pairs a 36.5mm heel stack height with a 272g (size 8 USW) weight. 
  • Wide D Width: Comfortably fits most women with broader foot types. 
  • 8mm Drop: Supports a smooth stride throughout your gait cycle while providing additional protection at the high-impact zone of the heel.
  • Engineered Air Mesh Upper: Made in part with recycled materials. Hugs your feet in a soft, premium feel while allowing heat to escape during long road-to-trail runs.
  • Off-road Protection: 3D-printed toe cap and mud guard provide a barrier against  trail debris.
  • DNA LOFT v3 Cushioning: Soft yet responsive nitrogen-infused midsole foam provides impact absorption for a smooth ride.
  • TrailTack Green Rubber Outsole: Provides superior grip on wet and dry surfaces and without compromising flexibility to flow into your next stride - from light trails to gravel paths and smooth roads. 

 

The Brooks Ghost is a flagship neutral road running shoe model from the brand, whereas the Brooks Ghost Trail is Brooks’ off-road spin on that classic model. The main difference between the two is that the Brooks Ghost Trail features hybrid traction from the TrailTack Green Rubber outsole with 3mm lugs, whereas the Brooks Ghost 18 features a RoadTack Rubber outsole, designed purely for running on smooth roads. The Brooks Ghost Trail upper has been reinforced against debris with 3D-printed toe cap and mud guard, however, both share the balanced feel from soft and responsive DNA LOFT v3 cushioning.
The Brooks Ghost Trail is designed for neutral runners who need a versatile shoe capable of transitioning smoothly from pavement to moderate off-road terrain like gravel paths, dirt or other natural surfaces. It is an ideal choice for loyal Ghost fans who want the same familiar fit and cushioned underfoot feel without needing to jump to a rigid, heavy-duty mountain trail shoe.
