The ad suggested ordering up a half size, however the show is far to large and wrinkles on me. I'll look for another style

Super comfy! Walked 8 miles today and my feet were so much better vs my old pair of Sketchers.

My previous Brooks Ghost were perfect. They made the 16 a lot wider and I keep tripping on the toe box when walking. I sure hope the next version goes back to be more like the Ghost 14.

I have worn Brooks Ghost for years and have always loved them but these are cut different on the side. They rubbed my ankle bone and were very uncomfortable so I had to return them.

Does not accommodate orthotics like the Ghost 15. I feel like an extra wide would be too wide

I like a roomy toe, but the B-width (my usual) is so wide that my foot moves around, plus they look like clown shoes. The hard plastic Brooks logo on the side rubs the side of my foot and is so painful I can’t wear them. I ordered a second pair, thinking the first pair was defective, but it had the same problem, so this is a design defect. The second pair also fit differently, size-wise than the first, even though both pairs were size 8-B. They also had no arch support.

I have been running on Brooks Ghost sneakers for many years- so many that I always just buy the same thing without having to think about it. Something in the Ghost 16 is different. I still have two pairs of Ghost 15 and they fit perfect, but the 16 feels narrower. I don't know what the manufacturer changed but I wish they hadn't!

Extremely disappointed in this Ghost model. Where did the comfort and quality go? It felt like I was walking on a brick. Have sworn by Brooks Ghost for years since I have a lot of arthritic issue and these have typically alleviated some discomfort and pain. Had to return them which had me pretty upset thinking .....what do I buy now?

Too wide in the toe box. My toes hurt at the end of the day.

Brooks 15 fit me perfectly but the toe shape in the 16 changed and it's not the perfect fit for me.

I have been dealing with foot pain for months so I was recommended Brooks. I couldn’t be happier with the comfort and fit. I am on my feet many hours of the day and my feet definitely don’t hurt like they did. I did end up going a half size up. Totally recommend these shoes.

This is a good one! Good fit and comfortable right out of the box. Not all Brooks are sized the same. I am size 11 M. Had to get an 11.5 in this style.
( some Brooks, I need a 12 )

Excellent tennis shoes! I purchase the newest series every year from Zappos and always opt for the wide fit. The 16 series looks wider on my feet especially with the pink detailing along the side, but I chose this blue pair because these were overall blue and I love how they coordinate well with both jeans and shorts. Comfortable, stylish, and a great fit! Hoping the 17’s will have a better color range when they come out sometime in May.

I have been wearing Brooks Ghost for a long time. I had concerns my orthotics wouldn't fit since others said the G16's run small. The Ghost 16 is still a perfect fit for me I like that they changed the shoelaces so now they remain tied.

I LOVE the Ghost shoes & have been ordering I believe since Ghost 12. I put them on & it was like walking on a cloud!

I only like the Ghost. Tried other brands & I didn't like them.

If I could afford to own this Brooks Ghost 16 in every color, I would. It fits me perfectly in a size 7 (wear a 6.5 in dress shoes). I have plantar fasciitis so I am particular about arch and heel support. This shoes hits me in the right spot. I love all the various colors it comes in and wear them into my office every day even if I have to change into dress shoes for a few hours. Then I wear them home again. Highly recommend this sneaker.

I've been wearing Ghosts for over 10 years, went to Glycerins for a year or so, but came back to the Ghosts. I have a narrow foot with a high arch and these fit the best for me. These new 16's feel a tiny bit wider even though I got the 2A narrows, but they are the best shoe I've found to run comfortably in. I'm excited to finally have a little bit of color in the narrow widths instead of being stuck with only black or navy alone.

I usually wear 8w or 8.5w in New Balance. They weren’t supporting my feet enough and my foot was rolling out and causing tendonitis. I decided to try Brooks instead and the Ghost was recommended to me. They fit my wide toes really well and my gait feels corrected and neutral in the Ghost. I feel hopeful these will help me heal from the peroneal tendonitis.

First Brooks Ghosts since Ghost 10's which I loved. I find these to be equally as comfortable. Narrow heel is held, lots of room for the toe box. Ordered usual size 8M
