I like the appearance of the shoe. The fit by the ankle was too rigid and led to some discomfort. I've had a few pairs of the earlier Ghosts and prefer their fit.

Im not a runner but these shoes are perfect style for my foot. Comfortable, supportive, and stylish. I buy this style year after year.

The ghost is different because of the nitrogen infusion compared to the older type of cushioning. I am hoping it will last longer. I really do like the new feel.

I've been running in Ghosts for several years now. I think my first was either a 9 or 10. These are definitely the plushest! I enjoy the smooth ride. I need some support as the Adrenaline GTS provided too much but the Ghost are hands down just what I need! I don't have knee pain during my walks or jogs. I love the color I got as well! I've had my pair for about 4 weeks now so I've been able to test them out! Super comfy! Great price point as well!!

They don't feel the same as my previous pairs of Brooks. I used to love getting a new pair and it felt like I was walking on clouds and a perfect fit. These feel like they are not made well, they gap at my ankles and don't feel like they are well made.

I use this shoe for walking. It isn't as comfortable as the Ghost 15. The mesh overlay seems to make it less supportive though cooler. I am glad Brooks has significantly improved their shoe laces. These are great.

I need extra wide shoes. This fits really well. But it's so ugly it makes me hate exercising. Can't Brooks design a wide shoe that isn't all black but has really simple, not obnoxious colors that would pair well with black leggings?

I'm disappointed in these. I love the soles but the top part of the shoe feels tight and ultimately has been causing a lot of pain in the top of my foot. I used to love the Ghost, I took a break from running so the last pair I had were the 11's and unfortunately these are much different and less comfortable for me. But they do seem to help with the knee pain I was getting from my pair of Hokas.

I have been wearing Ghosts for 7 years. These seem a little smaller in width and shoe laces are shorter in length. Because these shoes fit me the best I keep wearing them, but (maybe) since I wear them everyday, they start to wear out -insoles - and my feet will start too hurt in approximately 6 months. These shoes wear out too quickly for the price paid.

I really like the fit of this shoe, I have had surgery on one of my feet and have a difficult time finding a pair of shoe to fit this brand fits me really well.

So sad that the design has been changed. This was my go to running shoe, bought my normal size and my toes go to the end. Toe box is definitely shorter.
Brooks: please go back to the old tried and true size! So bummed!

Love my Ghost 16s!! However I may consider going to a Wide width next time instead of a regular D width. The toe box it was a little snug the first couple times I wore them.

I bought these two pairs of sneakers for Christmas presents and while the recipients like them I thought they were super expensive. No discounts!

The Ghost 16 has a roomy toe box. I purchased the Wide and love it.

I have 2 pairs of these shoes (Ghost) so I felt confident ordering another pair from the website. I was very surprised and disappointed when they arrived and were too small! Since the 2 retail stores I shop at can't accept website purchases for return, I sent them back. I went to my local Fleet Feet store to try on the next size larger. Wellthey didn't fit either! I ended up buying another brand. Apparently, when the next same style changes "numbers" (ie; 14, 15, etc) they don't have consistent sizing. What a disappointment and inconvenience!

Definitely flimsier than in years past. The front of my sneakers have weird divots that just won't go away. Not as comfortable as in the past either. Shoelaces barely make it up the shoe (no big deal but for the price, seriously...) Probably my last pair and I've been wearing them for the last 10 years.

I have bought Ghost 9 D (wide) for many years. Theyve always been my go-to for comfort and providing the ability to have a long day on my feet. I am exceedingly disappointed in the Ghost 16s. They are smaller in length and width than all of the previous versions. I am not the only one that is saying this. Ive seen similar reviews on the Ghost 16 elsewhere. Why would Brooks company do this and risk losing customers?

This is a great shoe, with good arch support and deep heel cup for stability and comfort. No foot pain or blisters with these shoes, which I have had with most other shoes that cost more money. Shoes are used for walking daily.
