Ghost 6

Another pair of Brooks that I bought.  The wear and tear of my running shoes is exceptionally fast.  It all occurs at one small corner at the back of the outer side of my heel.  From the day that I recorded my shoes mileage, it appears that I need a new pair of shoes for every ~300km.  While I am having lower back pain after running recently, I started to wonder if that is due to my running shoes again.  So, I bought a new pair of shoes again.

Since there's no different between Asics and Brooks in terms of usage and comfort, I go back to Brooks due to the price and probably a little bit lasting.

This time, I wanted to try out Ghost 6 although I was feeling OK with my Ravenna earlier.

This time, I really wanted to quantify how fast the wear of my shoes.  For the Ghost 6 that I bought, the heel outsole is measuring 5mm.  I will see how long it last against mileage.

Following are the specification on Brooks Ghost 6 from Runner's World:-

Specifications

Weight: 10.4 oz.
Profile (Heel): 34.6 mm
Profile (Forefoot): 24.1 mm
Drop from heel to forefoot: 10.5 mm
At some point, I will try out shoes with a lower drop from heel to forefoot.

Hope this shoes can last longer.
