Great fit and quality. A shoe that truly fits well, gives great support with many colors to choose from

Compare to my Ghost 15s it was snugger fit and i would say runs half to one size smaller. Tip of the shoe felt tight even though i bought wide size. I felt ghost 15s or even 14s was much more comfortable then these.

A very light and comfortable shoe, could use a little more of an arch support.

I am probably on my 12th pair of Brooks. Always Ghost. These Ghost are horrible. I would probably presume this is how the olympic athletes felt after sleeping on their cardboard bed for the first night. No cushion at all. After i received this pair I bought the only and ugliest pair left in the Ghost 15. Now i am on quest to find other ghosts, because the 16 is horrible.

I loved the design of the Ghost 16 but something has changed with the mid-sole of the shoe and it hurt my arch. I've worn ghosts for years and have never had this problem and had to be returned. I was so disappointed as I've loved ghosts for years and didn't want to have to find another shoe to run in.

A little background..I have a high arch, small ankle, wide toe box. I am a nurse and very active. I have been loyal to ASICS Nimbus for years. I decided to try Brooks Ghost after reading / watching the positive reviews, and praise from someone in my family. At first, the cushion and support seemed very close. However, after a month of wear, I noticed I began having pain in my heel area, a week later, I developed knee pain that I have NEVER had. The only change I have made that I can attribute this to is my shoe change.which was major for me to begin with. Again, I have been loyal to ASICS Nimbus for years and this is after much trial/error and research to find the right shoe for my foot. Lessons learned if it is not broke, dont try to fix it! And if the shoe fits, wear it. I am sure Brooks Ghost is the perfect shoe for someoneit just wasnt for my foot. For those who may are trying to decidethe Ghost is not as supportive in the ankle, the arch support oddly begins toward the back of the shoe, causing pain, the toe box is wide (the part I did like) This is my honest review and I hope it helps someone.

I have worn the Adrenaline for years and have several pairs. Recently have Morton's Neuroma and needed a wider toe box, which these are slightly wider. So far they are fine. I don't run I use them for everyday casual and walking.

Prefer the previous year model over the 16. These are too wide in the toe box causing blisters. Over they are not as comfortable as the 15. Tried to wear several weeks but could not get past the pain.

I think the Ghost 16 is slightly roomier in the toe area. It does feel to me, however that there is more cushion.
I myself prefer the slightly more snug toe area of Ghost 15. But I do like the extra cushion of Ghost 15.

I loved my Ghost 14s and Ghost 15s. But the Ghost 16s fit differently. They are about half a size shorter and quite a bit wider. I did not like the shoes and sent them back. I was disappointed that the sizing is not consistent.

The only tennis shoes I will wear are the Ghost. The 16 feels lighter than past shoes which I like.

These shoes have a nice wide toe box. I wear a narrow and it fits good in the heel, so it doesnt slip when I walk but still has the wider toe box, which is great for my bunion. If they had just a little bit more padding under the ball of the foot, they would be perfect for me, but thats just me. I walk several days a week for exercise and am happy to find a shoe that works for me!

They're nice shoes and comfy on the soles of your feet, but I got blisters BAD, especially on my right heel (I'm right handed). Really not impressed. 14s and 15s were much better quality.

Been running in Ghost since 2017. Always smooth and consistent feel. The fit, comfort, and drop along with cushioning make it my ideal shoe.

Really loved my Ghost 15, but because they're not selling 15 anymore I bought 16 instead. This fits very different from 15, and honestly I'm not a fan. Wish they would 15 back

I've been wearing Ghost shoes for the past 6 years and loved them because they were comfortable. I bought Ghost 16 in size 6M but they were too tight. Not giving up I bought them in size 6.5W and 7W. Unfortunately both made the bottom of my feet burn, and they will be returned.

I have worn Ghost for years. Ran though at least 20 pairs. The new 16s fit nothing like previous models. They fit terribly short in the toe box and the cushion is completely different. My toes hurt just from my 3 mile walk.

I wore it only once for a walk and couldnt walk all weekend afterwards nor put weight on my feet. After an hour of walking, my calves/shins were so tight and my feet hurt so bad. These shoes are not right for someone who pronates. Unfortunately I didnt keep the box and cant return nor can I use them anymore.

I wanted to love these. I've been a GHOST wearer for ten years and have never had an issue. But for some reason this version did not feel that great. Sizing also felt a bit off, slightly tight (even with thin socks). For the first time in over 20 years running, I started having shin splint pain. So, I've switched to the Glycerins and have no complaints.

Im not a runner, but a walker. I spend 8 hours working on hard floor surfaces. I have tried many brands of shoes from N to H and nothing feels as comfortable as my Ghost 16 shoes.
