So disappointed. I returned 15s because of too wide toe box. The 16s run even bigger through the toe box and are half a size too big in length. If I wanted wide width Id ordered wide width! Fabric has a cheap feel to it. After years of wearing nothing but Brooks, Im done. I Off to find another brand that fits.

I bought these Ghost sneakers for a trip I was going on. They were very supportive and comfortable while walking on many different surfaces in Europe. Im probably going to get another color to switch off as I walk every day.

Been running in the ghost since version 7. I have always loved the fit of the ghost but the best way to describe the fit of the 16 is that is feels sloppy and way too squishy. I think Brooks had a winner with past ghosts and should remain true to themselves and not try to be like other brands. Do you!

I have worn Ghosts for 5 years. I like the 16 better than both the 14 and 15. The 13 will always be my favorite. Now, for the 16... the shape and cushion are great. The toe box is roomier than the last two models, which I appreciate. However, it seems like it runs a half size small. I think I may return mine for a half size up. Overall, positive improvements from the last couple releases.

Brooks Ghost shoes are so comfortable, that I practically live in them. In fact, I don't buy any other brand. The problem is that some of us love them not just for walking but for everyday shoes, and the problem with that is your colors and designs. As a woman, I don't want to look like a clown wearing your garish colors and designs. Some of your Adrenaline colors and designs are prettier (I actually returned a pair) but not as comfortable as the Ghosts. Hopefully you will rectify this and sell more shoes.

I am not a runner. The reason I ordered this shoe is because I wear a women's size 13 Narrow - very hard to find. I actually need a 13 AAAA, but no one makes athletic shoes in that width. The shoe is too wide for me across the ball of the foot, but otherwise fits well. I wear them to fitness class and for every day wear. In my experience, Asics provide a better fit for narrow feet, but I have not been able to find any in a 13N in over a year.

Love the way this new and improved Ghost 16 hugs your heel to feel secure in each step. The toe area is roomy and step after step it keeps it's shape, no more saggy toe material. Shoe laces that do not come undone when on a treadmill is the clincher for me.

Ghosts work for me out of the box, every time, without fail and this pair is no different. I feel theyre slightly plusher on the interior in the tongue and heel. Love this monochromatic grimmace blue/purple!

I have run in Ghosts since the 10. Some versions fit me better than others. 15 was not my favorite, felt heavy for running compared to 14, I have them and used them for walking. 16 is really good. I was wondering about the extra width but I hardly felt it, and they are really soft in the landing. I have noticed that I feel better and they make me use my legs muscles better. I have better contact with the ground than 14 which I still love but now it feels like a less technical shoe in comparison. Also, I have already done a couple runs in the hot temps, and I can feel that my feet are more cooked in the 14. Well done Brooks!

My feet feel cradled, my heels feel cupped and secure. The padding is soft and supportive, not too much or mushy. The shoes fit well, nothing over or under in the design fit. Light weight.

Love these shoes!! I ran a half marathon in these brand new which I know you arent supposed to do but they definitely supported my feet the whole way. I feel like they have a wide fit which is great for extra toe space.

I love this shoe. I needed something to stand all day in, with good support but also ample cushion. Ghost 16 fits the bill! Very comfortable and light weight.

Ive worn Brooks for 10 yrs and have always been a 7.5. I have a very narrow foot, so was disappointed when these were rubbing my big toe even with the wide toe box. I am hoping they just run small, because its a comfortable shoe that I would love otherwise. I am going to try ordering a half size up. I have never had this issue before with any Brooks where my toe hits the inside front wall. Happy they have such a great return policy.

I. Love. These.
Super comfortable and great bounce for playing court sports. I know these are running sneakers but they are wide enough to give me the support I need and comfortable enough to wear for hours without any foot pain.

Good at first, then my arch started to hurt. Had to buy insoles to wear without pain. Love the Ghost and have been wearing them for years. Wish they would go back to the Ghost 10 style of shoe.

I have only used the Ghost style for years. Always a size 9always fit like a glove and comfortable. I was excited to get the 16(I bought two pairs). They immediately gave me blisters on my heels. They are definitely not sized like they have been in the past. I will be sending both pairs back. I think I will be ordering older styles to make sure they fit. If you do order, I would go at least 1/2 size down from your past ghost shoes. I cant say anything about comfort as I was stopping my runs to try to tie the shoes tighter, due to the pain.

Terrible. Please stop changing the ghost. I have had leg pain and foot pain since running in these. The support and the toe box are different. Please bring back the 15. I'm throwing these away since it's past the 90 day window and will stock up on the 15 and will hope the 17 will be better.

The toe box is much smaller and the arch placement has changed. The ghost has been my go to for many years and I can no longer wear them, I am so sad.

The Ghost 16 has returned as a favorite shoe. The 14 was too narrow and the 15, although it felt more comfortable, had a break in period. I purchased the 16 today and took it out for an easy one-mile run, and I couldn't be more pleased. It was comfortable right out of the box, and I noticed that the outsole had much more spring to it. The wider toe box reminds me of the Glycerin, which I switched over in recent years. I highly recommend this version to anyone who moved away from the Ghost of the past.
