I'm not a runner, but was recommended to try these shoes by orthopedic experts. Having arthritis in both feet, I have difficulty finding supportive shoes that fit well and are comfortable. I can wear these all day and not have aching feet. This is my second pair of Ghost16's and they are well worth the purchase.

Love the comfort of these shoes. These are my second pair of Ghosts. I highly recommend for comfort and support. I use daily for my walk/runs with my dogs in the woods and paved streets.

Love them! I am newer to Brooks and a friend suggested the Ghost. I work in healthcare and these are one of the best shoes! The new cushion design is amazing!

I have a 3-4 pairs of Ghosts at any one time b/c I put so many running and walking miles on them. My new Ghost 16 shoes are comfortable and similar to older pairs. As with all my Brooks, I wear a half-size larger in these than other shoes. Small thing but I wish Brooks designers would get rid of the (I think new) ugly "DNA Loft" label. It looks like it should be a sticker but sadly it is not!

I have had 3 pairs of Brooks in the past and love them. I have a narrow foot and the mediums fit well with a nice wide toe box. I ordered 1/2 size larger as I usually do, but I feel that with a heavy sock and a lot of walking I could use an additional 1/2 size larger.

I had always worn Brooks adrenaline for many years. I didn't care for colors available in wide with this year. Since I wear Sole cork insoles I tried them in the neutral Brooks Ghost and they seem great. Really like the colors in wide in the Ghost. Being able to wear these with cork inserts instead of the structured adrenaline gives me more options.

Ghost 16 Women's size 10. Since wearing the Ghost series for the past 10 years I have been satisfied with this brand. The Ghost 16 has a slightly wider toe box and a bit more bounce to the sole. I must wear my own insoles which provide the stability I need as well as the correct arch support. Color combinations are important to me, so I shop this shoe accordingly.

These shoes replaced my Dyads, which I loved. But these shoe are so much more comfortable and it feels like I'm walking on air. After a day at work on my feet walking miles, I can come home and not worry that my feet or legs will hurt. Thank you.

I have an C-Brace that I just got this past week. I have struggled trying to find a comfortable, lightweight, shoe that fits my brace. This shoe is EVERYTHING for me. I got a 2E due to my brace. My feet are quite narrow without a brace. I can tighten the right one to fit my foot comfortably without the brace. Thank you Brooks for making my life just a bit easier!

Zappos suggested a 1/2 larger than have been wearing and they are just right. No hurting toes!

These have good arch support, cushion and have eased my foot discomforts from bunion surgery. Has enough space for inserts.

I heard so many great things about Brooks so this is my first pair of Brooks and trying them out and I have to say they are my new FAVORITE long distance running shoe!! Especially as someone who's coming back to running with an overused knee, these shoes really help my joints feel incredible and I wasn't worried at all during my run. I got the wide size since my feet are really wide and that felt perfect. It felt perfect overall. I can't wait to keep running with these shoes!!

My first pair of Brooks and I am hooked now! So comfortable and supportive, but not overly so that they are "puffy cloud-like" (which, personally, I don't like). They were perfect right out of the box. I got my usual size 9 and am very happy with the fit. I don't know how they will hold up over time, as I've only had them about a month. However, I am super pleased with these shoes overall. I wore them right when I got them all day for about 20K steps and my feet felt great!

I don't run but I do Jazzercise. My feet have hurt for over a year now every time I went to class. I couldn't wait for class to finish to take off my shoes (Saucony brand). I now have Brooks Ghost 16 and my feet haven't hurt once since switching to these! I love the feel of them! They are lightweight so moving and dancing around during class is never a problem. Also, I feel very steady in them. The other brand made me feel very wobbly and unsteady and sometimes even tripping over my own two feet. I won't ever wear any other brand except Brooks from now on! Purchasing a 2nd pair to have as a backup!

I got these for my girlfriend as a gift, (she's a cna and has been needing new shoes but hasn't actually gotten any yet) and she loves them! I originally ordered a 9 but they were a little small and the return was super easy! Then I quickly ordered a 9.5 and they arrived in no time. They fit perfect now. Very very pleased with everything.

I was very impressed with the few easy "tests" you had me do when I ordered my first pair of Brooks (online) to determine which styles would best custom fit my foot. The Ghost fits perfectly and I love the comfort and improved ease on my body when I walk. I had used the same Nike shoe for 40+ years for running distance races and in more recent years, due to hip and knee problems, walking. I thought it was my perfect shoe. This past year I tried 3 other highly recommended brands and they were okay, but not quite right. The change to a Brooks Ghost has surpassed my expectations. Thank you!

great fit, comfortable, lightweight. the laces could be a bit longer I use all the lace holes to prevent my foot from sliding forward and the laces are just barely long enough. otherwise great for walking and running.
