Comfort, good arch support, roomy toe box, I wear a size 7 but have always worn a size 7.5 in Brooks. Perfect fit!

Great shoe, works great with my orthotics. Wish more colors, especially white, came in wide.

These have helped the bottom of my feet from hurting while and after running. They have helped with my shins. Very light weight but still plenty of cushion. The toe area is not too narrow to provide room for my toes to not hit like in other shoes. These are my new go to for running.

The Ghost 15 shoes are much more comfortable than the new 16's. I am disappointed.

I have been running in Brooks (various models) for at least 15 years, and I keep coming back to the Ghost. I think the 16s are superior to my 15s. They fit like a glove from the start and cushioning is just right. Upgraded laces are a plus! Lots of happy running this Winter!

I started with Brooks with Ghost 12 many years ago and have been extremely happy. My issues with heel pain went away with such a good sneaker that I no longer need to wear orthotics. Got the Ghost 16 and nowhere near as comfortable as the previous versions. Heel pain has returned after wearing these and back to orthotics. No longer happy.

They seemed to have updated the laces on this Ghost model from the previous one. They don't come undone as much, which is a big plus. The tongue on this model still seems to be rogue and it doesn't stay in place as well as the other models. The overall fit of this shoe is second to none, just that weird tongue size/shape is the only issue.

I love Ghost. This is like my 6th pair. Please add a flared out heel so I can be lazy and not tie my shoes. My only complaint is they got really dirty after 4 runs because I stepped in a giant mud puddle. BUT I cleaned them with soap and water and they air dried over night - mind blown

Design is slightly different from the 15s. Ran a little smaller, had to size up 1/2 a size. Cushion inside feels a bit different as well. Hopefully, Im still breaking them in.

I loved the ghost 15 they were a great shoe. Had plenty of room and the support hit my arches and heels just right. I wore the them till there was no support left. I had worn the regular and wide width with great comfort. I bought the ghost 16 and was very disappointed. They did not fit well. They were tight and made my feet hurt so bad within an hour I had to take them off. This design did not work for me. Now I have to go hit up the bargain store to find the 15s again.

I have a wide foot but a narrow heel and the Ghost 16 has become my go-to shoe. No other shoe fits me as perfectly for 8-10 hour shifts working on my feet. Other shoes are too wide on my heel causing them to rub and give me blisters. I have tried other shoes from Brooks (I LOVE the holiday edits), but these are my favorite. Shoes from other brands are out of the question. I have been wearing Brooks for YEARS, so this is is a review I leave in full confidence.

Very comfortable shoe although a little tight for a 2w size. I can still wear them comfortably but if your foot is any wider I wouldnt recommend. I can wear these shoes all day and my feet do not hurt. And they are stylish.

Generally I love Ghost, but these are nothing like the previous Ghost I've owned! Sadly, the 16s are so hard and have none of the familiar softness and cloud-like feeling of the previous Ghost :( I decided to keep them because I was so desperate for new running shoes but I am disappointed with the feel of the shoes and would not recommend to others.

I have purchased Ghost or Adrenalin for many years. This shoe is horrible. Seems to be extra wide. To fit my foot Iit gaps at the bottom of the tongue. Initially I thought it fit and tossed the packaging and inserts as I have my own inserts. Figured it would be a hassel to return. NOTHING LIKE PAST SHOES. LAST BROOKS I EVER BUY.

I'm a bit disappointed because I was expecting the 16's to be better than the 14's and they're not. I've been wearing my 14's for two years and honestly I still prefer wearing them since they're more comfortable and look better than my new 16's. The 16's aren't bad; they're pretty solid. However, they're a downgrade from the 14's in my opinion.

Fits my narrow feet perfectly while having good support. I appreciate the Ghost not being too much shoe, not bulky. Wish it came in more colors. Overall very pleased.

The 15s were infinitely more comfortable. The 16s feel narrower: it might not be that they're actually narrower, but more that the fabric on the sides and top near the toe is harder. The 16s are uncomfortable to wear for more than a mile or two for these reasons, especially with the hard fabric pressing onto my toenails, causing pain for a whole day after wear.
