I dont run but walk plenty in these shoes. I love the great fit and comfort of the narrow width. Excellent shoes.

This is my 5th pair of the Ghost. I ordered the extra wide and like it a lot. Wish it came in more colors. I got black. I am a walker. Team them with wool socks and very comfortable at 25 degrees.

Not very comfortable, difficult to put on. My 15 model was a better made shoe.

I'm loving these kicks! Switched from ghost max to these and couldn't happier. They are a little stiffer the max but my feet couldn't be happier. The neuropathy in my toes has reduced and my knee pain reduced. I'm 6'2" 270lbs walk 5 miles 5 times per week. I use ghost 16s and adrenaline gts 23s in rotation.

Like these but not as much as ghost max as far as comfort. I continue to have the same struggle and thats is finding decent color options in 4e. Why is only 1 or 2 and always all black?

Very light. I liked that. Immediately replaced the insole with better support. Have to see how they hold up over the months.

Bummed. My last ghosts were 14s and I loved them. These are definitely a little different.

The Ghost line has long since been my favorite shoe - they are definitely my go-to for everyday wear and for exercise.

I've worn ghost shoes for years. I'm a big guy, size 14, 4E. These are the most comfortable shoes that I've worn in a long time. I'm thinking of buying another pair now just in case I need them in a year or so.

Good fit although a little snug considering it's a 2E. Support seems excellent. Took them out for a 5.6 mile tes run on a paved trail immediately after receipt. I typically experience a little pain in my knee and hip, which I had at the beginning of my run, but it actually seemed to ease up during my run and I finished pain free. Pretty exciting since I specifically bought these for an upcoming half marathon. Additionally, my son wears Brooks marathons and other races and recommended them to me. He likes his Glyserins but the shoe finder on the Brooks website recommended Ghost for me so I went with it. Happy that i did so far. Also found that Brooks offers a military discount, which Hoka does not. I will be looking to Brooks for future purchases.

The ghost was my favorite show. I've had the 13s and currently wear the 14s. I bought myself and my wife the 16s for Christmas and Brooks really dropped the ball here. Sadly. I love the styling but they are very tight across the top of my feet right at the bottom of the laces. I've read a lot of opinions on reddit and I'm not alone. This was my go to show and now I've got to find something else I guess. The foam is also a lot more squishy. I prefer the slightly firmer more supportive foam in my 14s.

I first bought the Ghost 9s and loved them. When they needed an update I switched to the newer version of the Ghosts and they were okay, but felt like a dip in comfort. I've since branched out to other brands and Brooks styles and nothing felt 100% right. I decided to give Ghosts another try and the 16s are excellent. I feel supported and it has a bit more cushioning than the last iteration I had, which is exactly what I wanted: some more cushioning, not too much. I'm happy to be back on the Ghost train.

I've got about 25 miles on these shoes, mostly on treadmill. The fit is consistent with Brooks shoes for me. I'm a 12 1/2 wide, these fit well for me. I replaced the insole with an aftermarket insole for additional stability. Ran about 3 miles on the road, seems to feel pretty good. I'd recommend the Ghost if you are a fan of previous models.

Feels fairly good so far. I did expect a little bit more comfortability with the insole and cushion but have not felt that.

I wish I had ordered the Ghost Max 2. This was my first pair of Brooks. I usually wear Hokas. They fit well, but I miss the extra cushion. My ordered arrived quickly, and in good condition. I will definitely order from Brooks again.

Having been a fan of the Ghost series, I was eager to try out the new Ghost 16 after my delightful experience with the Ghost 15. Last year, I purchased a pair of Ghost 15 with Mid width and size 10.5, which fit perfectly and provided exceptional comfort during my runs. Naturally, I chose the same specifications for the Ghost 16, expecting a similar experience. To my surprise, the Ghost 16 felt noticeably narrower than its predecessor. Despite ordering the same Mid width and size 10.5, the fit seemed off. I only wore the new pair twice while running on a treadmill, and unfortunately, this resulted in a blister on the bottom of my right foot. While it is uncertain if there has been a significant change in the design of the Ghost series, my experience with the Ghost 16 has been somewhat disappointing compared to the Ghost 15. The narrower fit has impacted the overall comfort, which was one of the key highlights of the previous model. In summary, those who loved the fit of the Ghost 15 might need to consider trying on the Ghost 16 before purchasing, as there seems to be a difference in fit that could affect comfort during runs.
