These are my 2nd pair. Ample cushioning. Only problem I have with them is the soles have so much cushion they won't fit between the foot board and the shifter on my motorcycle. Looks like I'm getting a heal - toe shifter cuz I ain't givin' up my Brooks.

Perhaps the most comfortable exercise shoe I've worn. I do a lot of walking everyday and have been absolutely thrilled with the support of the ghost 16 shoes. It's as if they give my foot a natural roll and propel me forward.

At my job, I average nine hours a day on my feet The cushioning and support keeps me fresh all day. The toe box is just right for me except for the crease that formed over my big toe while wearing them for the fourth time. The plastic form piece creased and cuts into my toe every time I push off.

Stupendously comfortable - I have been wearing them for tons and tons of walking on hard, city surfaces (around 6-8km every day), and my feet feel great. I run in them as well - the cushioning is very springy. I feel like I can put the run in my legs and not in my feet/ankles when I wear these.

I wear size 15D with fallen arches. The arch support did not match well at all with my feet and I felt uncomfortable pressure. No problem returning my purchase, though!

Gusset the tongue! Maybe it's a small complaint but in this age of incredible materials and tech with shoes, all tongues should be gusseted to avoid shifting and discomfort. The look of this shoe is quite ugly, which is not a reason to not buy it but it does make it less appealing to wear while doing this other than running. I thought the cushion was fine, the nitrogen infusion seems more like a gimmick than an actual upgrade in comfort, the shoe does run a bit narrow so consider going a half size up or doing a wide width. For someone 250 lbs I need a shoe with more room and cushion so these were not the right option but for others they'll probably work as a daily trainer.

I have short wide feet and struggle to find good comfortable shoes that fit me well. I had switched to brooks several years ago and continue to purchase them. I have been using ghosts for the last several series. I have used both the 2E and 4E. The 4E are bulky but they fit great. This new version is boxier than prior but that does not bother me. Good running and casual day wear shoes. Would definitely recommend and purchase again.

This shoe is amazing. It was not only great for a run, but great for lots of walking in new cities. This shoes surprised me and was great on a hike. I thought it was going to be an easy hike but I was wrong. This shoe held up great climbing Lions Head in South Africa.

According to the Brannock Device I am a 10.5 wide. That is accurate for Nike, Asics and Redwing products. Unfortunately, ordering that size in the Ghost 16 was too short. Replacing that with an 11 wide also proved to be too short. These have now been returned and will not be ordered a third time. These shoes, if they work for your sizing, are remarkably comfortable and the more subtle styling is definitely preferred.

I have to get mens wide because of my bunions. I love Brooks shoes! Please make wide shoes in more colors. Thank you for at least having gray or black shoes.

I'm a long-time user of the Ghost. I have had a great experience running in them. However, after running for 4 weeks with the Ghost 16, I get pain in both of my heels. Based on my experience, this would mean a greater chance for plantar fasciitis. I stopped using them and have sent them back. It is a good shoe, however, it seems not to be as cushioned as previous versions. Since I wear a 10.5, X-wide, the previous version was very hard to find, although I found couple of pairs which should last me until the next version comes out. We are different, so if this one did not work for me, it doesn't mean it won't work for someone else. Good thing Brooks lets you try them for 90 days.
