This is the third pair of ASICS Ghost shoes I’ve ordered for my husband. They fit great, provide wonderful, comfort, and are reasonably priced. One of the best running shoes or sneakers available on the market.

So, I'm still sort of new to Brooks running shoes.. coming out of my first pair, the Adrenaline GTS, I tried the Ghost 16 and OH MY GREATNESS!!!! These are the most comfortable my feet have EVER been, period! The cushiony- bounce, the glove-like fit and the breathable mesh... I have double bunions on both feet and I've had foot pain since I was a child. Now, a daily runner in my early forties and my feet were so painful I was on the verge of a very involved surgery including grinding and shortening bones, Etc. I was going to have to stop running because of my foot pain until I found Brooks sneakers. These shoes saved my runs and my sanity. The support, the extra cushioning... I don't think I'll ever wear another type of running shoe as long as I run. Please keep up the amazing work!

Sometimes it takes me a little while to get used to a new pair of shoes. My first steps in the Brooks Ghost 16's felt awesome. I just ran and ran

The most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I won't ever go back to any other type of shoe again. I've had no back pain,hip pain,or feet pain since I've worn these shoes. Worth the money completely.

Tried these based on the heel toe drop and my recurrent Achilles issues. While nothing will magically make my Achilles not hurt, after multiple runs with these shoes my Achilles hurts way less, and for way less time. They don't have the cushion that my ASICS had, but the extra 6mm of drop seems to make a big difference in my management of my recurrent right Achilles pain. And the 90 day return period made this an easy thing to try.

The Brooks Ghost 16 has quickly won me over. The cushioning feels just rightsoft enough to keep my feet comfortable on long runs, yet responsive enough to keep me moving smoothly. They're lightweight, with a fit that feels like it was made for my feet, and the grip holds up even on wet roads. It's rare to find shoes that hit all the marks, but these have definitely become my go-tos.

My first order had the wrong shoes in the box. The box was labled Ghost 16 but Ghost Max was inside. Once I got the right shoes my feet knew immediately. I've been wearing Ghosts for years and they always feel GREAT. Pillows for your feet I call them. Enjoy!

The last Brooks shoe I bought was a Brooks Ghost 14. I was a little worried the fit would not be the same. I actually like the way this shoe fits better. It has a lot of cushion, especially for a 250 pound man. They fit snug, but not over tight either. The width was perfect and size fits right on. I do play pickle ball in them as well and they performed nicely.

I've had Brooks Ghost for over a decade; their stability and support helped my knees pain and I've been running them since. Also a nurse on my feet all day. These shoes provide the right amount of stability and cushion so I can get home without my feet hurting. I purchased the wides; they fit perfect and true to size.

This is my fourth pair of Brooks running shoes, and my third pair of Ghosts. As always, it's a great shoe, and I especially like that it comes in wide. No complaints at all. My only future request is that you make a zero drop variety of your running shoes. I have tried other brands and do not like them as well, but I'd love a zero drop brooks trail runner that comes in wide.

I soend most of my time at work standing and I've worn the Ghost line everyday to work for the past 5 years. Every time they come out with a new one I upgrade and every time they are just as good or better than the last.

First and foremost, I will only wear Brooks shoes, they are absolutely the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn, they feel like they're broken in from the moment you put them on, extremely comfortable shoe, only thing I will ever wear

Great shoes. Cushioned enough to be comfortable for any run up to the marathon, but can still feel the ground and firm enough to pick up the pace (I race in these just fine, and PR'd a half). Please Brooks keep the stack low and the drop high (I have a bad achilles). Ghosts are one of the only shoes left that check all these boxes. Relative to other Ghosts: Ghost 12s used to be my favorite, but now these take the crown for their firmness, snappiness, and light weight. Ranking them from favorite to least favorite: 16,12,15,14,13.

I just ordered my second pair to be able to switch every other day. I tried the Ghost max but the Ghosts are much more stable for me. I'm just a gym rat not a runner and every thing seems perfect on the Ghosts.

Nice moderate cushion, not too soft, not too firm. I've done long runs & tempo runs in these without issue. They handle both fine & my feet or legs don't feet beat up after a long run whereas they often do with other shoes. These are light weight & flexible.

Fits perfectly. I run 2 miles daily and hike 4+ miles and my previous Ghosts lasted for 18 months. Tried the cheaper Trace but found it's cushioning inadequate.

Not a runner, I'm a walker. This shoe is extremely comfortable and light weight. This is my third pair of Brooks shoes and have not had any issues. Great shoes!

I've been searching for a running shoe that provides comfort and stability. These sneakers are by far the best sneakers I have ever worn. I had meniscus surgery recently which I've been out of the mix for a while. These sneakers are helping me in my road to recovery. I purchased two pairs and couldn't be happier with my purchase. The quality is also well above the rest!
