Have been wearing Brooks Ghost for years after trying many high end sneakers. I am a walker and was struggling with hip pain. This sneaker " cured" me. Would not dare to try anything else!

I have a difficult time finding shoes to fit me.I wear an 8 narrow and many shoe manufacturers are stocking and producing narrow shoes.Thank goodness your company stocks narrow.
Im happy to say the fit is perfect and theyre very comfortable.Thank you Brooks!Please dont stop making narrows.

I had the Ghost15 and got the new Ghost16 as a replacement. Oh, my! Love the improvements! Cushioning and support are terrific. I got a second pair!

As usual, my Brooks Ghost shoes felt comfortable right out of the box. I was going to get inserts, but haven't really felt it was necessary.
They look and feel great.

I've been running in ghosts for the past 3 years. Love the support, however these new ones are really squeezing my forefoot and putting more pressure on my metatarsals

I've been wearing Ghosts for at least 5 years now. I suffered from Plantar Fasciitis and Ghosts were recommended by my podiatrist, who is also a runner. I usually can tell when it's time to replace my Ghosts, because my PF will start to flare up on runs. I don't know what it is about the 16s... but my PF flared up immediately when I first took the new kicks for a run.

Absolutely love. I have horrible bunions and flat feet. Had major back surgery 6 months ago. Now suffer nerve damage in my feet. Ive went to a foot dr & then a chiropractor office who does foot levelers that offer Brooks. After my insurance paid for one pair I bought another color. I wore them a week before my sons boot camp graduation. That day I walked on concrete marine base over 16000 steps and no foot pain or back pain. Of course at my age I was tired but my feet did not hurt. Brooks is my life savor. Im looking into buying more . Thank you I feel like they saved my life .

I have the Ghost 15 in size 9, fit great. I wanted another pair for treadmill wear only. I ordered the Ghost 16, same size. They are too short in length. Why? Now I have to mess with sending them back...ugh

Ive been wearing ghosts for YEARS and have absolutely loved them! I do not love this model however. The 16s dont feel nearly as cushioned as the 15s and Ive 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. Im a little panicked because Im 6 weeks out from my marathon and cant fathom wearing these. I may try another pair, maybe this was a one off pair?

I love the light feel with the uplifted toe. My knees, hips and back no longer hurt after working all day. The only thing I am having a problem with is where my big toe touches on top of the shoe.

These are the first "real" running shoes I have ever tried. I use them strictly at Orange Theory fitness so I am using them on a treadmill, rower, and weightfloor. They offer an amazing amount of cushion on the tread, but not so much that I feel unstable on the floor. They fit in the rower straps just fine. I was unsure about these shoes at first because so many of the reviewers state people that have issues with their feet (bunions etc), but I have "regular" feet - not narrow, not wide, no toe issues and I give these shoes 5 stars, hands down. (or feet down, I guess!) I would NOT size up as many other people suggested. I listened to those reviews at first and the shoe was huge, especially in the toe box. If you have regular feet, order your regular size and you will be fine!

I've been a long-time ghost fan, but this version has some serious issues with tightness around the top of the foot. I'm not sure if it's the tongue, or changes to the midsole, but no matter how loosely I tie them, the top of my foot feels too tight. That's not a problem I've ever had before with any other shoe. Right now I've skipped cross-lacing on the second holes, but it's an imperfect solution. The rest of the shoe feels great, but I buy ghosts for comfort on days I'm craving it. This version adds too much material in the wrong places. Please bring back the tried and true!

No shoe is perfect in every way, so that's why the 4 star rating. It is a very form fitting, cushiony shoe. The shoestrings get undone from time to time in my daily routine at the Hospital and so bending down to tie them 2 to 3 times per shift is a bit of a bummer, but not a reason to make it a bad shoe. Overall a very nice running, walking tennis shoe.

Thank you for changing the laces! They stay tied. I also love the extra cushion! Feels like running on a cloud!

I am not a runner, but I am on my feet all day at work and these are the most comfortable shoes. They have a slightly wider toe box and a lot of cushioning.

I'm not a runner but I walk a lot. I'm 61 and finding that I need a good supportive shoe now even for walking. Felt a bit snug initially but very comfortable and good support, and cute too!

I have been running in the Ghosts for a couple years now, and they give me just what I need. They're comfortable and light yet also stable. The shoes help me feel fast and supported. When I was needed my most recent pair of new shoes, I looked at a couple different brands (prices, colors, sales, etc.), but I couldn't switch off of the ghosts. They have worked too well for me!
