Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 16

Runs small and not as comfortable as the Ghost 15. Had to return. I have worn Ghost for the past 4 year but these were a miss for me.

I have been an avid adrenaline shoe runner for years, just replacing one after another when needed. I was excited to see ghost comes in a narrow as well so I tried them. For me, they did not have enough arch support. I loved the color options and comfort but missed the support of the adrenaline. I returned for the adrenaline.

My first pair of Brooks Ghost were the 14's in a women's 13. Fit perfect, I have a narrow foot and it's hard to find a women's shoe in my size let alone narrow. I had been an ASICS Kayano user for over 20 years. They went the HOKA route and are super wide now and no stability. So after trying out the Ghost I was sold. HOWEVER, the Ghost 16's I just received in a women's 13 are very short (my toe was just at the end) and they are wider than the Ghost 14's so I'm NOT a fan of the Ghost 16. The sole felt comfortable though. Not sure if I got a defective pair. I haven't seen others comment that they're running short. Sadly these will be sent back. The hunt continues.

I have worn Brooks shoes for years and have worn the Ghost shoes, but this new Ghost shoe is awful. I have so much pain in my right heel when I wear them. I finally put on an old Ghost shoe and walked and the heel pain went away. So, it is this shoe. I also have leg pain when I walk and after 6 months of this I realize it is my shoes. I don't know what they have changed, but I am pretty sure I am going to find another brand. It has been painful walking in these.

I have purchased Ghost or Adrenalin for many years. This shoe is horrible. Seems to be extra wide. To fit my foot Iit gaps at the bottom of the tongue. Initially I thought it fit and tossed the packaging and inserts as I have my own inserts. Figured it would be a hassel to return. NOTHING LIKE PAST SHOES. LAST BROOKS I EVER BUY.

These shoes don't seem to be made like the older ghost - they have given me blisters on my toes and taken the skin off the back of my heel. I even went up half a size.

These are not made as good as they used to be. The toe box contantly creases and rubs my toe and the interior of the shoe had holes in less than 2 months. I hate to go to another brand but looks like that what I'll have to do. Hopefully the next ghost will be better and I can come back.

I have been wearing Brooks Ghost for years, I believe since Ghost 10 or 11. I just ordered the 16s, and they do not feel like Brooks Ghost. They are a little too high on my ankle, and more roomy than I need. While just standing in them, it felt like my feet were straining just to keep me stable. They are going back. I am so disappointed, because I have always been able to wear this shoe, but now I'll have to find something else.

I have purchased several pairs of Ghost and Adrenaline Brooks shoes over the years. Sorry to say that the quality has stedily declined. I returned the Ghost 16 for a refund. They were very poor quality, no support. I don't plan to purchase again.

Uncomfortable - returned them. Stiff and didn't like the feel at all. Disappointed.

Once upon a time, I thought blood blisters were just a part of my running life. Then I tried the Ghost series and no more blood blisters! Bliss! Happiness! Until the Ghost 16! I took them for a few (short) 4 mile spins and am returning them. So thankful I didn't test them on a long run, which normally would have been fine with previous Ghost versions! In my experience, these are not the same Ghost series that I came to know and love! On the hunt for a new shoe.

Every year/every new version I cross my fingers that it won't change too much while wishing brooks would just leave a good thing alone. The 16 is significantly tighter across the arch, so if you have a high instep like I do, they may no longer be comfortable. I knew the minute I put my foot in, they had changed too much from the 15 to be the right shoe for me anymore and I would have to return both pairs I bought. It's bad enough the wide widths don't even have all the nice colors but now they don't even fit well. It's frustrating, I've tried all other types of brooks and the ghost was the best fit for me (ghost 12, 13, 14, 15). I would buy about 6 pairs per year. I will have to look for a new brand now but in the meantime I'm buying whatever stock of the ghost 15 I can from Brooks Restart.

I'm on the 4th month of these being in my running rotation. They were comfortable out of the box but now they hurt my feet. I would say 100 miles max for comfort. The cushion is gone. I worry it may be due to the sustainable material. Something is different for sure. I will stick to buying Ghost 14's when I can find them because 15 and 16 haven't worked for me. I have loved Brooks ghost for 10 years but I may be on the lookout for a new shoe.
