I absolutely love these shoes! I have had over 30 pairs in the last ten years and they continuously keep improving. The Ghost have gotten me through many training cycles and the cushion and fit is perfect! I highly recommend to any runners looking for a great new shoe!!

Ive been a long time ghost 13,14&15 and glycerin 19 & 20 wearer but the toe box design change in this ghost 16 and glycerin 21 hurts my big toe. I dont have wide feet so I found this really strange. Im disappointed because this was an exchange. After a 2 mile run, my toes were so sore. I decided to make these walking shoes but and went to do an errand in them but they were still causing pain. So now they are sitting in the box in my closet.

The fit of Ghost 16 is different from Ghost 15 which is 5 star. Still getting used to the shoes that hits my ankle. To remedy ankle irritation the laces were loosed and laces are now very short. After using all my Ghost shoes, I always wash the soles however Ghost 16 is different. The dirt is a chore to clean. I know I am fussy but Ghost 15 (have 3 pairs) are super easy to clean the soles. Still trying to love my shoes.

Loved the Ghost 15 and swore by them my whole pregnancy working at that hospital, but I just cannot wear the Ghost 16 without arch and knee pain. I thought it might be just my body, but wore my new Adrenalines all day at work without any issue; wore the Ghosts the next day and had pain halfway through the day. I hate writing negative reviews, but there is just something about this shoe that doesnt agree with my foot!

Are these also made from that woke carbon neutral sole that takes time to feel like you are not going to slip off each treadmill walk

so bummed! I've had several pairs of Ghost 15 and the 16 was shorter and narrower. Too bad because they are good looking shoes. I wear an 8 Wide, I could try a larger size but I guess I'm just a Hoka person now.

Sad to say i'm very disappointed with this shoe. Wore Ghost 14 for years. LOVED them. The 16's don't measure up in terms of fit, construction, or overall feel. There was a strong chemical odor when I opened the box. Had to air out the shoe to even try it on. When i called to express my disappointment and order another shoe i was told that lots of people are disappointed in this shoe as well. None of the options to offered to replace the shoe came in my size or color. Bring back the 14's!

Great to find AA width. Exactly what I needed. Would like additional colors to choose from. This was only choice for AA width!

Each update with the Ghost has lessened the quality, probably won't purchase any more. Ghost 12 was the best in my opinion. My heels and feet never hurt with the Ghost 12, not the case with the 14's and 16's.

So heartbroken I've been wearing ghosts for years! Currently been wearing my ghost 15 and tried these on and the fit is completely different. I want to love them but the toe box is way too big compared to the 15 my foot is moving around so much in the same size. Not sure what to try next.

I recently ordered this exact shoe in a different color from Amazon. It fits perfectly.. the first Brooks that fits me in a medium width.. the wide widths are too wide. So I ordered this cool color for winter and it is too narrow (just like a model 14) and at least 1/4 inch longer than the white shoe I just bought. That doesn't sound like much but I have one foot that is quite a bit shorter so that difference becomes huge. Size inconsistency is SO annoying!!

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 dont want Black! Occasionally there will be some colors but not too often, selection is mostly Black and wide is very limited.

Dont like the larger toe box. Ghost used to fit my forefoot perfectly, now I have to add a 1/2 insole to take up the additional space.

I used to wear Asics daily but after trying Ghost, Ive 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.

The shoe design was cute for Christmas but, after wearing them for only a couple of hours, they felt like they were lacking arch support and the shoe box for the toes felt tight.

My doctor recommended I get better shoes. Tried another popular brand that hurt my feet; these by Brooks are amazing. True to size and extremely comfortable, very happy with this purchase and likely will be back for more.

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