I've worn ghosts for many many years and love them. The left shoe of this pair did not fit the same as the right, and I had to return them. I have recently bought two other models of Brooks and another ghost about a year ago, none of which had this issue.

Nice cushion, comfortable, a little soft for harder or uneven surfaces

Great fit. Thank you for making a narrow, low volume shoe! Love the stretchy laces and upper, which help with a snug fit. Only thing I don't love - the support structure built into the edges of the toe box. It really rubs, especially the side of the big toe. I wish they just left all of the upper soft mesh.

Too small. I always wear size 11 in another high quality sneaker brand. The 11 was too small. My toe rubbed the front. Returned them and ordered a new pair size 11.5 and they were also too small.

My favorite still is the Ghost 15!! This one is okay. I'm not quite sure of the specific difference but there is.

I find this ghost version has less cushion than some of the past models. I personally like a little more cushion and prefer the olde models ghost 14 or 15. Aside for that these are good running shoes that provide good structure and are supportive / sturdy.

I always wear Brooks Ghost for walking- they come in a wide size and are very comfortable. I have been wearing them for over 15 years.

Love these shoes!! Its at least the 3rd pair Ive bought over the years since Brooks started making Ghosts and I wont wear anything else any more when I run. Good on my knees and allows me to maintain a smooth steady pace comfortably.

The Ghost 16 feels very similar to past Ghost versions. I ordered it because it supports my spine much better than the Glycerin 22. The overall support still feels like it could have a little more cushion. The toe box is on the snug side. As a whole, though, it is still a good shoe. I am a nurse working on my feet for some hours at a time.

I've worn Ghosts for years and LOVED my 15s. The 16 is comfortable but the look is not awesome. They look very wide and the black is not true black, it's a faded black and the laces are the round, athletic laces that come loose easily. Honestly, they look cheap. The 15s were gorgeous for anything from running to social events, but the 16s are strictly for working out because of the look. I used to wear my 15s every day and decided to keep them because I will still wear them when I care what my shoes look like. The mesh design is great but don't wear them in the rain.

The shoes are comfortable but they don't look as sleek as most of my other shoes. Don't really care for the color!

I bought these specifically for a trip to Manhattan for extensive sidewalk walking. I wore them all day every day and most nights. I also wore them walking in a state park preserve on fine gravel trails, and they worked perfectly. I used my custom orthotics (plantar plate tear) and my feet never hurt or felt tired. I have bunions, so I bought size Wide and they were a good fit. I rated then a 4-star because I didn't run in them and am not sure how the soles will hold up over time.

The cushion is great!! I have two other pairs! This pair feels a bit more snug in the toes even though they are all the same size. I'm training and I'm not sure I can wear these for the training :( I think I will need to go back to my Trace 3

This is my 6th-ish pair of Brooks and probably my least favorite out of them, but don't get me wrong they're still a great shoe. Ample room in the toe box, but not as cushiony as I would have preferred. However, I work in the OR all day, and they do hold up to many hours on my feet. I think I just prefer Adrenalines and Glycerin Stealth more.

The shoe is comfortable, but I am beginning to wear a hole in the toe. I have not had it long enough for that to be happening. I have worn ghosts for years and normally have no issues, with wear or comfort.

I loved the colors, but it was too small/snug. I wear a 10 wide, which was what I ordered, but this is made differently. I've passed it on to my granddaughter.

This shoe seems to run a bit shorter than the ghost 11-15. These are my second pair of 16s, I have been wearing these for over 20 years. Ghost being my favorite. This last shoe Seemed a little off but still a better fit for me than the competition.
