Customers Say

Customers find these running shoes comfortable, with one noting they feel like walking on air, and they appreciate the good arch support that makes them stable enough for tennis. The shoes receive positive feedback for their cushioning, style, and walking ability, with one customer mentioning they work well with orthotics. While some customers find the width fits well, others report the shoes are slightly narrower than a normal medium.

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)

Brooks seems to have really lost their way in pursuit of other shoe manufacturers. The ghost 16 was a debacle. This one, sadly, is no different. It feels like your heel is going to pop out of the shoe. The ghost 14 and 15 were great. Why did they ruin such a great line of shoes? I used to wear 100% Brooks. I haven’t in a couple years now. Tried almost every new design they have introduced, they are all equally dismal. It’s such a shame. Switched to ON Running and have been really happy with them.

I usually buy a medium width, and it typically takes 2–3 months for the shoes to feel comfortable. This time, I decided to order the E-Wide fit. When the shoes arrived, I was worried they might be too wide—they looked significantly broader than my previous pair. But after a week of wearing them, I can confidently say I made the right choice. This model feels more cushioned than the previous one, which is a nice improvement. As for the colors—they're interesting, but not particularly attractive. That's why I prefer the black version.

The Brooks Ghost is the only athletic shoe that I will wear. Love the fit and support. I do wish that they would offer more styles in the wide width. Also, that they would go back to the older version of laces. I have to double knot them now. Didn't have to do that a few versions ago.

I am happy to say at last I've found a replacement shoe for the discontinued Brooks dyad!! It took a while but these shoes work for me. No knee pain as I experienced with other brooks shoes. And I literally tried all the other styles Brooks had.thank goodness!!

Comfy, stylish, supportive. Checks all the boxes. I've been a Ghost fan for years, and I'll continue to be.
