I'm not sure that it has enough heel support for me. I need a lot of heel support. I have another pair of Brooks running shoes. I'm not sure if they are an older version of the Ghost or not because all the wording has been rubbed off. I'm had them for awhile. I went to a local shoe store to try these ghost 5 on before purchasing. Wearing them in the store...they felt pretty good and they still do, especially around the ball of my foot. But after wearing them for a week and using them mainly on my treadmill, I feel like there could be more support in the heel. I still like them, but I kind of wish I had tried on some of the other Brooks' running shoes while I was there. These just got so many positive reviews and a coworker recommended them, so I took a chance. I don't regret the purchase, but the next pair may be something different.
