Laces are horrible. Very stretchy and after two runs began to fray. Had to change them out with laces of an old pair of Ghost 15s as I was afraid theyd break in my upcoming half. Rest of shoe seems fine. If we could only get more colors in wide!

I loved my Ghost 14s and 15s, no problems at all. These 16s do not fit the same, like they aren't right. After a few miles, my forefoot feels like it's being pinched and my big toes are rubbing the shoe. I always order a half size larger, which has always been more than sufficient for me. On my 8 mile run today, I started to feel my heel rubbing. I'm within the 90-day window, will be returning.

The Ghost sneakers are my favorites. I've used orthotic inserts for over 50 years now, and the most comfortable sneakers to use them with is the Ghost. I pull out the company's inserts and replace them with my devices, and I am ready to go. At 78, these sneakers are the only shoes I wear. One of my legs is longer than the other. A podiatrist corrected the pain and problem with a heel shim under the orthotic for the shorter leg....making the legs the same length. Thank you, Dr. Schroeter and Brooks!

Good for my daily 6 miles on pavement; i swap my shoes out every six months- always Brooks. The cushioning is great no issues with pain in my heels which is where i usually feel it. Great cooler choices plenty of inventory

Got them for my wife's birthday and she loves them. Uses them at cross-fit 5 days a week. They are light and well built.

I have SEVERAL pairs of Ghost. I ordered the same size and color I always get. Black. They run big! Like a half size big! They also hurt my feet, which was odd. Ive never had this happen before.

Love,love,love them!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure the first pair of the Ghost brand I ordered was the Ghost 13. I have had all of them since then and have always been very pleased with them. I am 80 and do not run but walk at least two miles Monday-Friday and also do Stronger Senior classes three days a week. The Ghost product is very comfortable and the cushioning is awesome. I also have the Ghost Max 2 which I am also very satisfied with. Brooks and the Ghost brand is my go to always .

Purchased Ghost 16 to replace my Ghost 14's that were worn out. I do like the 16, the cushioning is great and like the variety of color options. One thing I noticed is that the 16 seems to be slightly wider than the 14. I did not see where there was a narrow option for the 16 for me to try, even though I'm a medium width. The overall support of the 14 was much better for me. I really like the Ghost line of shoes and have worn them for years. For the 16, I am wearing thicker socks and lacing the shoes a little tighter and that seems to help. I would still recommend this shoe but they may be a little wider for some.

As always I love my new Brooks. The best improvement is the laces stayed tied. No double knotting needed.

I really like the Ghost 15 better. I had a hard time getting one of my feet not to hurt with the Ghost 16. I had to keep readjusting the laces to make them comfortable. Didnt have to do that with the Ghost 15.

I used to have ghost 14s and I loved them so I thought Id try these. I got a blister after the first wear and shin splints after three wears. I keep thinking they will break in but unfortunately I dont think they will and I may just have to let them go. Not sure what changed from the earlier models.

Brooks are always my go to sneakers for everything, road running, gym and work. I prefer the Ghost model because I find they are the most comfortable fit for my feet until I bought the Ghost 16, which are awful. The update that was made was not a good one. I find these sneakers to be uncomfortable and hard. They actually caused pain on my heels and toes. I contacted the company and they confirmed they made changes from the 15 to 16 model. I actually bought a different insert and have tried to make them wearable for now. I will not be buying another pair of these.

I walk 5-6 miles a day and these are the most comfortable and supportive shoe that I own. I will buy a few more pair. Very lightweight, excellent support and comfortable.

I have been wearing Brooks for many years. The fit in Ghost is not the same lately. The arch support is not as strong. I will try the other lines.

I love the new color and design. I never find an exciting color with brooks but soon they launch the limited edition colors, I order immediately. This is my first Ghost 16 but i already have 3 pairs of ghost 14 and 15 atm. Soon this new pair arrived, i took it on the treadmill, and omg... love the fit. It has the exact amount of arch support much needed for my feet. I have slightly narrow feet and Glycerin GTS 21 didnt go well for me so i have always been sticking to Ghost only. Ghost 16 is slightly narrower than 15 but it fits me perfectly. It does not feel roomy around toes as i could feel my toes rubbing against top.

Ghosts are my go-to these days. Other brands run one toe wrong, or have a tighter toe-box. And I prefer Ghosts over Adrenalines these days because the former arch bothered me. These are perfect!
