Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 16

Love these shoes. The heel has been redesigned with more cushion and arch support. Still lower profile than a lot of running shoes.

Love the extra cushion and broad base in these GHOST 16. Most comfortable tennis shoes yet.

Im a nurse and I wear these to work! Great support and cushion

My favorite of the Ghosts so far!!!!

Generally run 30-35 miles per week. Ghost 16 is such a great upgrade to the 15. The toe box seems a bit wider and there may be more surface area under the whole foot. There is a little bit more cushion but I can still feel the ground for push off. Love this shoe.

i tried them because my boys love your shoes its my first time i always wore new balancebut these are my all time now i love these shoes

This shoe is lightweight but gives the cushion and support you need

Love the look, weight and the material, I've always loved the Brooks shoes. However, they definitely run smaller than the normal, toe area was much tighter & had to return for that reason.

Perfect fit! Im on my feet all day long and Brooks are the BEST!

I ve been a Ghost wearer for the past 8 years and was excited to get my new pair, however, much to my dismay after several attempts to wear my new pair, they were just not comfortable and they made my feet hurt. I returned them only to attempt now to try to find a new pair of Ghost 15 or older to get the comfort that I came to rely on.

The ghost is my favorite running shoe. However, the 16, while great cushioning, light weight, feels shorter than my previous shoes, even though they are the same size. I kept them. We'll see how they are after a half marathon.

Im a medical assistant and on my feet all day. These shoes are awesome at keeping my feet comfortable on my 10-12 hour days. Ive had SO MANY compliments on them. Especially the color. Love them.

I wanted to love this shoe but the right shoe on the ball of my foot hurts so bad when I wear them. The left foot is fine. So maybe I just got a bad right shoe? Idk. I have the ghost 14s and they are my favorite shoe just wanted to upgrade them.

I like the 16. Im not huge on the toe box. Its much more roomy than previous models. But the cushion and heel drop are still my favorite part of the sneaker. Its just super unfortunate that each model is different. Ill never understand that! If something isnt broken, please dont fix it :(

Much better than 14 and 15. I wish brooks would not mess with a good thing. The 13s were great and these are more comparable. They feel heavy but not while running. They are more form fitted. I got the only cute color!

At first, I was excited because this release feels like a return to what I loved so much about previous Ghosts: great cushioning, support, wider toe box, etc. However, the heel is much larger/rounder than ever before, so my heel slipped too much and I had to return the shoe. The narrower heel and wider toe box is what made me a loyal Ghost customer for many years, so I'm disappointed with this change.

I loved the Ghost 12 the best! I did okay until the 16. It allows too much pronation and much less midfoot control for my foot. I have now switched to the Glycerin 21 which gives me some support, wider toe box and is still light.

I bought a black pair from a small running shoe store recently and loved them so much I had to buy a lighter color pair for a tropical cruise. They are so comfortable and the colors go with so many things. Spent a lot of time walking the cruise ship and at the ports. Looking forward to running in the darker pair.

Color is so GOOD! The overall fit of the shoe might be slightly narrow for some but it fits me great. Just the right level of cushioning.

So sad. I have been a Ghost loyalist since the 12, usually buying 5 plus pairs a year because of how many miles I log. The 16 have caused so many blisters, both feet, different spots, but particularly flaring bunions in such a way that I have had to take several days off to heal. I randomly had one boxed pair of 15's left and the switch has been night and day. So I am returning my last unboxed pair though I have three unboxed left circulating--- they will now go to waste--- and I am probably going to have to find another shoe. This happened to me when Nike changed their manufacturing plant and that is how I came to Brooks, which my local running store lauded as the most reliable and consistent shoe. No idea what happened with the 16 but I literally cannot wear them.

I wish the 16 had as much cushion as the 14. Overall not very comfortable

I have been a loyal fan of the Ghost since the Adrenalines seemed to get wider. I was disappointed that the Ghost 16 seems to have gotten wider in the toe box. I had to lace them so tight and there was still a lot of movement. So, I gave them to my daughter, who has a wider foot and uses insoles and bought the Ghost 15. The 15 still feels a little wider than the 14, but nothing like the 16.

It's like walking in clouds! Love the color! It's my 4th Ghost and I am sure it won't be the last. I wear 6.5 but I always by a 7 and fits perfectly.

Love the look/comfort of the sole. They changed the tongue of the shoe, and they bunch up if the laces arent just right. Ive had to stop running to adjust.

my second pair in 5 years, love them so much! worth every penny!
