My knee was hurting so badly from my previous shoes, first run in these I forgot my knee brace at home. Reluctantly I still ran with next to no knee pain. It's been about a month now, all my knee pain is gone and my feet are so happy every time I put on my Brooks. I've told multiple people these shoes are a 10/10

I am SO GRATEFUL to Brooks for carrying this Ghost narrow running shoe. I am 72 years old and my running days are long over. However complications from a previous foot surgery together with my unusual foot size, 12 Narrow, has given me little choice in foot wear. I need good support plus need to tie the laces extra tight because of such a narrow foot. This is almost my exclusive shoe. I can keep active and walking as my cardiologist wants me too. Infact, I do so much walking, I have been taken off statin meds. So thank you Brooks for keeping me going!

The Ghost 16 conforms to my narrow feet beautifully. (I did order a narrow size). I had to return the first pair. I ordered my normal size, 6.5 Narrow, which were way too short. However, they seemed so comfortable I took a chance and ordered 7 Narrow. They are so comfortable and add stability side to side, for better stability. They are now my preferred shoes to wear on a daily basis. I am not a runner but walk for exercise.

I work 12 hour shifts as a Nirse and these shoes are soooo comfy!! No complaints all day long. The best shoes to wear if you're constantly on your feet! Highly recommend!

I like the narrow fit. It's super lightweight and comfortable. It has a lot of support in the sole. I wear them all day at work.

Feel a little short but not as much as half a size. Maybe thinner socks. Width is good. I have very narrow feet and narrow fits great.

Very comfortable shoe.. no need to break in like other gym shoes I've purchased. Perfect amount of bounce in the heel! I'm normally a 9.5 but always size down and wear 9 in brooks

I love the speciality shoes they put out. They add a bit of life to the boring black and gray scrubs I'm required to wear. They are very comfortable.

I used to wear Asics daily but after trying Ghost, I've gradually switched out of all of them into Brooks. I have 5 pair so I can rotate them-plus they come in fun colors. Great support for all-day wear. Love them.

I am happy with these shoes! I have a narrow foot and a Morton's neuroma so it's had to find shoes that fit and don't hurt. I purchased an 11 and a half narrow, substituted SAS foam foot beds for more cushion support and used a metatarsal pad for the foot with the neuroma. They are just a smidgeon long but otherwise fit great. I would buy them again.

Best shoe I have ever wore. Cushioned so when I stand for six to eight hours I'm fine. I probably will never wear any other brand!

Purchased 3 more pairs to replace current brooks! As usual, best choice ever! Brooks are the only shoes I wear due to the comfort, cushion, and longevity of the shoe. I alternate and wear a differ pair every day. Still need to purchase 2 more pairs but am waiting for the funkier styles to come out next season. Love the leopard on the bottom sole! You won't go wrong with the GHOST,

I loved the colors of these shoes. They fit really well. However, they had strange wrinkles on the toe area which made the shoes look like they were too big. Sadly, I ended up sending them back.

I used to wear the Ghost sneaker, but then I wore another brand's shoe when I felt the sneaker wasn't fitting me well. Now, after two pregnancies, I'm back to the Ghost. I'm so grateful this shoe comes in double wide and has a generous heel. I also have a slightly high instep. My one concern is that the shoelaces could be longer for those who wear double wide to be able to use the last holes.

Ordered these as Wirecutter rated them highly as an overall great running shoe. I also ordered a new pair of my previous running shoe to compare. I was surprised to find that I vastly preferred the Brooks! Very comfy and cushioned without feeling bulky. Nice toe box.
My only complaint is that I didn’t look at the style closely when I ordered and accidentally got a Christmas themed style! Oh well! Hope no one looks too closely!

After breaking my leg, I knew I needed a post recovery shoe. Plus, I never realize how broken down my shoes are until I get a new pair. These have the perfect amount of cushion and support. These were perfect. I like to rotate my shoes to get a longer life out of them but they are all brooks. I'd be in trouble if I had to dress up. I don't want to wear anything else.

Love the Ghost 16. This is my first pair after wearing the Ghost 14 model for years and I have found the 16 to be just as comfortable and supportive as the 14. The perfect size for me in this model is 10.5 wide although I often find 10 M shoes are a good fit so size up for the Ghost 16.
I use this model for walking which I try to do daily.

It would really be nice if you would have The Ghost Shoes in some others colors other than Black, for women that need WIDE shoes. I love the Ghost shoes but don't want Black! Occasionally there will be some colors but not too often, selection is mostly Black and wide is very limited.
