They are great but not for me. I like a little more cushioning in my shoe.

I love the holiday edition! The fit is perfect and they spark such joy. They are so festive with every detail down to the box they come in. They even got me a sparkly new PR :)

I love the speciality shoes they put out. They add a bit of life to the boring black and gray scrubs Im required to wear. They are very comfortable.

They are comfortable. Brooks are the best shoes ive ever worn, as a nurse. I am not a runner. The laces are a little too short compared to the other Brooks that I have.

They are too soft. They give me lower back pain. Will be exchanging them this week.

Purchased 3 more pairs to replace current brooks! As usual, best choice ever! Brooks are the only shoes I wear due to the comfort, cushion, and longevity of the shoe. I alternate and wear a differ pair every day. Still need to purchase 2 more pairs but am waiting for the funkier styles to come out next season. Love the leopard on the bottom sole! You wont go wrong with the GHOST,

I use these for walking mostly, and they just provide the best support and cushion you could ever want. I will never buy another brand of athletic shoe after these-I have two pairs!

This is my 2nd pair of Brooks Ghost running shoes in the past few years. I skipped the prior model as it appeared to stray on form and fit (but still went with a Brooks model), but this years model is back on track with my past experiences with quality and fit. I order 1/2 size up from street shoe as I do use the shoe for light running and frequent hill walks. I tend to avoid high cushion shoes as I prefer to feel the pavement and to feel generally more stable, this has a bit more cushion than prior model, but my knees do appreciate this aspect as I get older. I also feel like the laces have improved-no longer find myself needing to bend forward to retie. The oyster limited edition color is great as well-as I can run errands in these shoes without them standing out. Brooks will continue to be my go to for future running/walk shoes.

Wider than previous versions of my favorite shoe. Unfortunately, too wide for me. Also, I didnt care for the color, but tried it because that was the only color available in my size

Always but Ghost but these are definitely fitting smaller yet your pop up in NYC said they didnt like the 1/2 size larger for me. Hopefully next years model will be tweaked in the front. Thx!

My lower rating has nothing to do with the comfort of the show. I do not prefer the look of it in the toe area.....looks bulky and wide. The Ghost 15 has a sleeker look. I will not be purchasing any more Ghost 16's.

Ive bought this shoe twice. Great runner (tread/pave, 3-5mi) but also just comfy for everyday wear. Size 11 W. TTS

I really liked the color but I had to return the shoe because the toe box felt smaller and tighter than my ghost 14

I am so disappointed in the new design. I loved the 15's but the 16's just don't have the same fit. I have tried several times to see if they just needed breaking in. However, I get blisters from the 16's. The shoe laces are not long enough. I do like the cushioning in the 16.

I love my new Ghost 16 shoes. It took me over a year to find a pair of athletic shoes that did not hurt my feet. I am so happy that I tried the Brooks brand.

Horrible. Im not sure what they missed designing the ghost 16. I LOVED my ghost 15, this doesnt even remotely feel like the same shoe. Its all just wrong.
I switched back to the 15 and even the ghost 15 doesnt feel consistent with my last ghost 15. Has anyone else struggled with this?

I had been wearing the Ghost 15 shoes and absolutely loved them. Since they are phasing out they are difficult to find anymore, so I tried the Ghost 16. I bought a 10 W, like the 15s. In this pair, my toes are 1/8th of an inch from the top. The feel of the 16 is different as it first felt like there was no padding around my last 3 toes and the shoe seemed to rock a bit more.
They are fine for what I need ( walking 4+ miles a day), but they just aren't as comfy as the 15s to me. I go through them in about 3 months and the $140 price tag hurts a bit.
