Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 16

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.

I've been wearing ghosts for YEARS and have absolutely loved them! I do not love this model however. The 16s don't feel nearly as cushioned as the 15s and I've developed 2 sizable blisters on each foot on the inside on my foot near the ball. The ghost model has always been so comfortable right out of the box and have NEVER given me blisters like this. I'm a little panicked because I'm 6 weeks out from my marathon and can't fathom wearing these. I may try another pair, maybe this was a one off pair?

Not the best for long distance running like the 15s. I never wanted to be that person that hates on the new model of ghosts. I always try to be open minded to the new models that come out- maybe I haven't broken them in enough, maybe I'm wearing the wrong socks. No matter what I've tried, I still blister up and the inner part of my foot gets really tender. My ghost 15 were amazing. These 16s just aren't cutting it.

Bought the 16s at my local Brooks retailer, gotta agree with the comments that say the 15s are better. I'm a long time Ghost fan, but these did not live up to their sweet new restyle. They look fabulous--10/10 for appearance! And they started great, super comfy (as ghosts are), fit like a dream (I've got a wide toe box, and narrow heel, for reference) after about 50-60 miles, I feel like the inner ball of the foot has collapsed, the cushion just is not what it was out the box. These may be better for walking, standing long periods of time, or as a casual sneaker. These have me exploring other options for my daily runs.

I have been using Ghost shoes for many years now but these 16 hurt my knees and ankles. Unfortunately I returned them and ordered the Glycerin 21 GTS which didn't hurt at all. The shoe laces still come undone a lot too, even after tying them tight.

I like the width of this shoe and how light it is. Very comfortable

Worth the price. Heard many good things but still skeptical of spending that much. Wear them for 10 hour shifts on my feet and my feet feel fantastic!

This shoe is the most comfortable one I have ever owned. I wear it for walking and my feet never get tired. Its worth every penny.

I always get extra wide and these fit great.

Fits perfect. Perfect for all occasions. Good walking shoe.

Not comfortable! I have been wearing Ghost for years. The ghost 16 is not comfortable at all. I was immediately in pain putting them on. That had never happened with any other pair of ghost. I power walk a few miles a day and had to return home as my feet were so uncomfortable. The ghost 15 were great! Please bring them back. Ghost 16 are by far the worst pair of Brooks I have purchased.

I love the new Ghost 16! They are so comfortable, offer great support and look really good! The fit was perfect!

The redesigned tongue is disappointing. It is too narrow, and the material doesn't stay smooth. It stays wrinkled against the top of my foot. Makes the shoes seem cheaply made.

Even the size wide rubbed my big toes. It only seemed wide on the outside edge of the shoe, like my foot was not centered in the shoe. The sole was nice and soft, but I returned them since this is too much to pay to have the shoe rubbing your toes.

Love the support and comfort of this shoe. I have been dealing with Achilles tendon issues and I feel like these shoes are helping my tendon, and I got wide ones so I dont have pressure on a bone spur at the front of my foot. They are great!

These shoes have good support and are comfortable. However, for the cost I think Brooks should have put complimentary colored shoestrings on them for an improved look. Now Im spending extra to buy new periwinkle colored strings so my shoes will pop!!

I got these in all black, wide width. The toe bed is ample and so comfortable for my bunion. They are sturdy, breathable, and the best shoes I've found for comfort.

Comfy and cushy for miles and miles

Ive run in Ghosts since 2016. I ordered the Ghost 16. The shoes were defective. In one shoe, the arch was closer to the ball of my foot and the cushioning was built up in the back. The other shoe was made properly with even cushioning throughout, and the arch was in the correct location. Returned the shoes and went into a local running store where I tried on Ghosts until I found a pair that fit correctly. Quality control needs to be better with this version.

I love my ghost 16 tennis shoes! I have another pair that are white with gold.

I have always loved the Ghost shoe. This one seems a bit slim in the toe box over older models. It isn't an issue unless you have a wide foot. I use these for walking and seem to wear them out every 6-8 months, so for that I wish they lasted longer. Great shoes overall.

Idk, i just don't like them. The left foot feels like I'm wearing someone else's shoe. The style too, I don't like the white bottom. The mesh on top, I don't like the looks of these

The shoes are very very comfortable, so much that it seems like I was walking on clouds.and that's the thing, it actually made my run less effective as I had a harder time to push from the ground. I preferred the Revel ones, but that's because I like to run faster and feel the ground more (I have been wearing barefoot shoes all my life) Though for someone who wants to walk and run without pain then those shoes are fantastic !

Comfortable shoe, fits true to size. I prefer a shoe with more support
