This shoe is horrible. No cushioning at all.

good, well fitting shoe for people who need a lot of toe room. I wear 10.5 narrow and wish there was a standard dark silver with a white sole.

Am somewhat disappointed with these. The fit does not seem the same as my last pair. A little wider and therefore feel a little sloppy

Not a runner, use it for walking and general everyday wear. Comfy but not as comfortable as my Ghost 14.

Recovering from foot surgery. My doc recommended this shoe. Very comfortable.

I have been a fan of the Ghost series for a long time. I just got a pair of Ghost 16. There has been a change made to the tongue that makes it quite uncomfortable for me. Even keeping the laces fairly loose hurts the top of my foot. I have never had to have a "break in" period for these shoes. I hope somehow I will get used to it. But if that doesn't happen soon, I will be searching for another shoe altogether.

Fits great. Only complaint is the back of the shoe doesn't seem to stay up as it's supposed to. I also slip my feet in my shoes. This one seems to have the back less stable.

I'm more of a walker than a runner, but this is a good shoe. Firm base and good arch. A tiny bit tight across the toe.

Great cushion and arch support. Toe is too narrow and size runs small. Disappointing update when the Ghost 15 was virtually perfect.

Great show- flexible when walking. Room for toes. Had Ghost 11, absolutely loved. The color choices for 16 are awful. Who decides the colors???!!!

I'm not a runner but I do find these sneaks comfortable. However, I prefer the Adrenaline 22 to the Ghost. For some reason the Adrenaline seemed to be a better fit for me. But I still like my sneaks!

Need more colors in wide! So far that’s my only complaint. These fit much better and true to size and width than previous versions. I changed from Ghost to New Balance 840 years ago because of fit issues with the Ghost, but now NB has stopped making the 840, so I tried these again, and they fit much better than they used to! I would prefer a slightly firmer shoe, but so far they have not caused any issues with my chronic ankle problems (extremely shallow peroneal tendon grooves leading to chronic tendinitis). I really need to wear these all the time, so it really irks me that not all colors are available in wide. I had to buy some sub-par Sauconys to wear to church because that was the only brand that has a neutral shoe with a 12mm drop in a neutral, muted color, “almond” (NOT bright white or black, not grey with rainbow trim). Much better pleased with this purchase than I expected to be, but I need more colors available in wide!

Fit and size work for me. I do not have a lot of choices in a narrow width.

I have a very hard time feeling bring shoes to fit. Very narrow and long! I loved the Ghost 12 and this is the closest I have found. Still too wide but best I can hope for either my feet

I typically have worn the adrenalines, however I am not a fan of the colors. I thought I would try the Ghost 16s. They are comfortable and I love the color and quality. I would have given it a 4 1/2 stars instead of a 5. They are a bit too wide in the toe area and I didn't order wide width. Overall, it's a great comfy shoe, just wish it what slightly thinner.

These are really great. Roomy in the toe box, but still not as "shock absorbing" as my Revels. These will be my back ups.

This review was submitted as a sweepstakes or contest entry in exchange for an opportunity to win a prize.
Show weight is good, the tongue is a bit strange and different from previous generations. The way it's shaped it gets constantly pushed to the front unless you physically hold it down when putting on your running shoes. Otherwise a good shoe, nice and springy with decent cushion.

Been wearing Brooks Ghost for years. Recommend by my podiatrist.. I walk not run. The soles do not seem to last as long as the once did. Each year I get a new pair and retire the old ones for yard and round about shoes I have a four year old pair that has more tread. Mt walk habits and miles have not changed. I am a senior person.

Usually when I purchase a shoe my size (11) it ends up being too short. My toe touches the end of the shoe. So I ordered size 12 (D). It is too long and too wide. The support that I am use to is not there. I made the wrong decision and have only worn the shoe 3 times. My feet are just not comfortable in this shoe.

I have been wearing the Ghost shoe because you quit making the Glycerin in the narrow. The Glycerin has much more padding. I had to buy an expensive pair of orthotics because the bottom of my feet have very little fat. Would sure like for you to consider making more choices for people like myself who have no choice but to wear what is offered to us.

I have been a Brooks fan for a while and these shoes do not disappoint. I gave a 4 because the toe box is a bit wide for my foot. I am a B to C width, so not too wide. Lacing a bit tighter has kept my foot from slipping inside the shoe. Good cushion. Comfortable walking.
