Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 16

Very comfortable shoes, lightweight and soft cushioning. Nice color. Hope they're as durable as my other Brooks shoes.

Enough support. Extremely comfortable.

Comfortable shoes, like them better then the older ghost model I have

Ghost 16 is cushiony and light. It seems to be wider in the toe box and a bit shorter at the tip. I had to adjust the strings to get the fit tight enough all around the back but they feel really good after a few outings.

Ghosts have always been my favorite Brooks. These do not fit the same and I am in the process of returning. Will not be purchasing any more of this style.

I really like the cushion of the new ghost. Very glad it comes in narrow because it is still generous in the toe box. I do feel that they run a little large, but I still bought the same size as usual.

Ive been anticipating my new Ghost 16, but was disappointed, when I received them. I love the color, and the look of the shoe, but the fit, not so much. I just purchased, within the last month, a pair of Ghost 15. The fit was comfortable, and basically perfect. The ghost 16, feels tight, and too small. The back Heel/ankle area seems to rub, and though I havent tried to walk in them, I can imagine, that would get irritating. The fit is awkward, and uncomfortable. So disappointing.

Shoes are a good fit and feel wonderful

The sneaker is great. The color is awesome!! The shoe fit as expected and is stable for walking and running. For someone who needs this type of support I can not complain

Toe box collapsed in on both shoes in under 1 month. Literally a folded line on both of the big toes that can't be unfolded. I tried stuffing it with tissue paper over night, no fix. There's nothing like having a toe box protruding on the inside of your shoe rubbing against your big toe with every step. I paid for exorbitantly expensive shoes sans functioning toe boxes. I considered duct taping the inside to try to get some solid shape back in the toe box wall... that's right, I'm considering duct taping $140 shoes because that is how badly Brooks messed this design up. What is up with this company?! You've gone far far down hill since my last pair.

I needed more of a square toe box

Great updated ghost. I always gravitate towards Ghost when looking for a new pair of runners/walkers, and this new pair is the best. So comfortable right out of the box. Springy and supportive... like Im floating on air. Worth every penny

I'm glad I bought these in the extra wide width since I like to wear merino wool socks which are a bit thicker. These worked out beautifully and are a joy to wear. I especially love the colors, and they go with a lot of clothing items I have. Overall, they are perfect, and my feet are quite content. All my Brooks shoes are excellent in style, fit, and total comfort.

I am so far liking the new Ghost 16. It has a snugger feel to it and very nice cushioning. It feels more supportive because of the snugger fit and that has been particularly good for my right foot because I had a very bad ankle fracture and dislocation that has left that foot much weaker than my other one. Because of a bunion I have had for years, the snugger fit is a little tight in that one area, but so far, it has not interfered with me being able to run. The shoe is also very light and responsive. Liking this very much so far.

Pre-ordered these. I got them in the mail today. WOW! The fit and comfort are perfect. FINALLY, Brooks realized that people need comfortable, cushioned multi-purpose shoes that are comfortable without a high sole (Glycerin 21 and Ghost Max) that causes your ankle to turn when walking over uneven ground. I can't wait to try them in my exercise class and Pickleball. If I could give them a 10 star I would.

I've loved both Ghost and Glycerin for years. While the shoe is comfortable, I definitely feel the toe box is not as roomy. I still have about a week to decide if I'm going to return them. I've probably only worn them 3x, and I always reach for my previous Ghost 15. Love the color but the fit is different.

I am hopeful that the Ghost 17 will return to it's true roots. The Ghost 16 is over cushioned and has lost that stability firm feel with just a bit of cusion that I have come to love since purchasing my first part of Ghost 12s. Too much cushion for my taste and needs. I have lower back issues and I prefer and less cushion is more when trying to be active. They also fit snugger than the 15s, I wear a 9B, almost felt I could have used a wide. Love my Ghost 15s will be buying several pairs to keep in stock until the next Ghost update in 2025.

I really tried to make these shoes work. Unfortunately, the area under the tongue was just too tight.

Its very cushiony but the fit under the tongue was a bit snugger on me than the 15 version so Im sticking with that.

I have small wide feet, and running high mileage I need more width! I absolutely love the toe box! There is so much more room that my toenails are actually becoming pretty age!

Love the color combination on these! They are light and comfortable, but supportive. Brooks Ghost are my go-to shoe for work, jogging, working out or anytime!

Love the color glad I got in early as larger sizes usually dont last in the more favorable or unique colors. As for fit, my previous pair of Brooks was a Mens 11 medium. I bought at local store and they didnt have larger sizes for women and explained the mens shoe is the same except for how sizes are labeled. Ive lived my life with this issue but I couldnt confirm Brooks womens fit til now. So, if you have my same issue/question, I can confirm a womens 12 medium fits the same as a mens 11 medium. Good shoe!!

I was ver y sad with the Ghost 16. The very first pair I got were the 14's and they were the best! They fit like a glove. As soon as I put the 16's on I knew they were off. I'm a supinator and my knees and back were hurting within an hour of wearing them. It's been too long to return them, but they are still in very good condition and I'm sad because it's such a waste for me. I'm waiting to see if a 17 comes out and I can try them.

These shoes are not comfortable, they're very stiff with no cushioning.

Much different cut at the heel and ankle from previous models. Causes socks to pull down . Why change a winning formula????
