Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 16

I haven't paid full price for new shoes in a while but these are definitely worth it. I went right into a heavy marathon training program with no issues. And I love the colors.

Why is it so wide, for a "narrow" shoe? The toe was roomy and loose, uncomfortable, possibly roomier than any shoe I've tried. It's definitely a well-made shoe, but totally not fitting for a narrow foot, and that was disappointing.

The most comfortable running shoes I've ever owned!!! Ran a 5k and had no pain in my knees or feet. Followed by a 7 mile walk, still with no pain! I am beyond impressed with these shoes.

I have been using Ghosts since 2017 without any issues until the 15s. The 15s did not provide me as much support in the front of my feet causing me to fracture my metatarsal. Went to get refitted and because of my high arches the store again recommended the Ghosts and to try the new 16s. The 16s have caused me to get blisters on the side of my big toe on both feet. Now i am significant heel pain which i have never experienced before. My weekly mileage has not changed in 2 years. Definitely hoping some major changes come with the next models that are more similar to models prior to the 15s. I can say that the Ghost 11s were the best model I had used

I love the look of the shoe but very wide in the toe area.

I have ordered 3 pair in the last few months and have had to return them all. They are not comfortable at all any more. I finally spoke with rep that told me the design of the shoe has changed. The toe box is too narrow and puts pressure on the outside of my big toes.

I like them but I bought them because I heard theyre good if you get shin splints. I dont get shin splints wearing them, but my calves get very sore. Also I ordered my normal size and they are a little too big.

Very comfortable with high arch support. Love the color combination. Great fit even with additional arch support.

I purchased a pair of ghost 16. The toebox shape changed and was narrower than the ghost 15, so I returned them. Why change the toebox/last on a core product from one Gen to the next? It just disappoints customers!

The store I was shopping at said they didn't sell Narrows by Brooks, nor could they order me any! Glad I went to the website. I owned a Ghost Max 9 Med. shoe and loved them. So naturally when I found a Narrow, I knew it would fit even better. My two left toes were tingling and getting numb, so I decided to purchase the 9.5 Narrow, thinking I needed more length. The same thing happened, so unfortunately I had to return them. Shoes are lightweight and do feel good on my foot.

Great cushioning, but much wider in the toe box than previous versions. My foot didn't feel supported.

Great shoe! Ive only ran a few times since my purchase. Morning temps have been 70 and above with unhealthy air due to fires in the area. So far I love the Ghost.

The first day I wore them was a 12hr work day and I thought I was going to have blisters all over my feet by the time I left work. I was really thinking about returning them because they are no comparison to the Ghost 15. I decided to wear them to work again and they were a little better and kept getting a little better with each wear. I have had several pair of Ghost 15s and never had to break them in. I cant say I love them. I can only say they will do for now until I find something else.

I really wanted to love the Ghost 16 but like the Ghost 15 much more. The 16 fits a bit differently and has less cushion in the heel. The Ghost 15s felt immediately comfortable, but the 16s feel like I have to break them in in the back heel part of the shoe. I think the size measurements are a bit different too since the 15 felt a bit roomier than the 16 with the same size. These are still good quality shoes, and I like the colors and look of them, but I would recommend the Ghost 15 over the Ghost 16.

Love the color, quality, and the comfort of these shoes! Makes my walks and runs like Im walking on a cloud.

So comfortable and great arch support

I love the fit. My feet feel very comfortable when wearing the Ghost 16's.

Love them! Theyre so comfortable- I stand all day at work and my feet feel good in these shoes!

Im not a runner, but the Ghost 15 was my go-to for walking and sometimes for casual wear, and the new Ghost 16 serves the same purpose. Theyre great.

I have been running in Brooks for years. I have extremely flat feet and wear insoles. The Ghost series have worked great with my insoles providing me with great support and no issues. However, I could not even get through my first run with the Ghost 16. My feet were not supported even with my insoles. My ankles rolled in and my whole arch area felt like they were falling in. It was a painful experience. The Ghost 16 are way too wide, soft and stretchy. Please consider going back to the original design or offer a 3rd option for your Ghost series

Walking shoes for me and I love the comfort.

I was looking for a comfortable cushion tennis shoe with lots of room in the toebox and these were my top choice

Great fit! Very comfortable!

As a wearer and lover of the Ghost 15 shoe, I was excited to try this Ghost 16. Unfortunately, in comparing to the Ghost 15, this shoe does not deliver the same performance I've come to expect and love. The design of this shoe sits lower around the ankle, it has a softer cushiony sole, but a bit too much for me. In wearing this shoe, I felt less stability and balance, I also did not find the level of comfort I get from the Ghost 15. I tried to love it but could not get comfortable with this shoe. For me, the Ghost 15 is the best shoe in comparison to this.

I feel like the sides go up higher toughing my ankle bone, but otherwise I like them
