My second pair of Brooks. Love them! I don't run I walk but it makes sense to wear running shoes for walking. Extra support!

Would give this 5 stars except my size, 7.5 wide, comes in very few colors and none are what I want. I may need to switch brands to get shoes I like, too bad because brooks ghost has been my go to shoe for years

Even the wide is a bit snug up at the top / ankle, which is where I need the most room. I tend to have better luck with the men's sizes.

glad to have found a narrow shoe. I have started running more because the proper fit reduced ankle pain. Not my favorite look but very utilitarian. I tried to use RIT synthetic dye on the purple and pink because they were the only fitting shoes in store but ultimately broke down for the all black as well.

I've worn Brooks shoes for 20+ years for running and have tried several styles. Am a bit limited given I need an 11 narrow and there are only so many styles offered. Have enjoyed the Ghosts for several years but these are a miss. Not comfortable at all. Am grateful for the Run Happy Promise; returned these and am hoping the Adrenaline's I just ordered feel better!

I took an 11 in ghost 15. The 16 version is wider in the toe box and the fit was off.

I love these shoes! I got some at the second hand store over 5 years ago and wore them consistently until I finally wore holes in them and had to get new ones. Love them so much I bought some for my son

Ive 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

These are amazing! I have been a diehard fan of the Adrenalines for years now, and tried these on and loved them instantly! The arch support is amazing and so comfortable.

Love the Ghost 16. I feel the toe box is a bit wider and there is a little more cushion in the sole. Wish the colors offered were better though.

So disappointed! Ive been wearing ghost for years but the changes made to the 16s are not good. The shoes feel tighter and immediately feel like Im going to get a blister on my heels if I try teaching my classes with them on. I have neuropathy and need soft, cushioned shoes with great arch support. The 16s feel very stiff, like I would have to deal with the hassle of breaking them in. At $140 I shouldnt have to break shoes in. Now Im panicking to try and stock up on 15s but Im unsure what Ill do in the future. Im very frustrated why change something that doesnt need to be changed? We loved the ghost the way it was! Please revert the changes and make the 17s more like the 15s or I will have to find another shoe to train in. Im returning both pairs of the 16s.

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 havent broken them in enough, maybe Im wearing the wrong socks. No matter what Ive tried, I still blister up and the inner part of my foot gets really tender. My ghost 15 were amazing. These 16s just arent cutting it.

Not as comfortable as I thought it would be but I did like the extra space in the toe. It was a little tight on top where you tie. Overall great quality show and I love the look!

I really love the spacious toe box, but I miss the structure of the Adrenaline. If there were a way to combine both, I'd be sooo happy! Both have such great features!

Not as good as the 15s! The tongue of the shoe sits up higher and the laces are ridiculously short. Not quite as comfortable as my previous pairs. Disappointed.

Love the fit. Got them in gray with cream looking sole. Tried a different color but was too long, so sizing is inconsistent but they are very comfortable. Good balance of support and stability.

Work great. No breaking in, just hit the road and felt comfortable. I always add spenco polysorb insoles, but that is just my own foot and its need for extra support. I do that for all my shoes.

The shoes worked well with my orthotics. I need wide shoes and this is the first time in a couple of years that I had a choice that wasnt only black. Would love more color options. Comfortable shoes.

Didn't really like the feel of the shoe compared to other Brooks shoes I have. They seem to run a lil big and the color combination was not like the image .

I like the fact that they sort of form to my feet overtime and they are just really comfortable overall. They make it so its a softer landing when you take your steps/strides.

They are not as comfortable as the Ghost 14 I've worn for several years. It feels like much less cushion in the bottom of the shoes. I've only had a couple weeks, so we'll see how they hold up.
