Lighter weight and springier sole are nice improvement. The upper shoe material seems siffer than my other Brooks. Initially, the width in the front upper of the shoe seemed a half size smaller than my other Brooks in the same size. The upper material opens up with use.

Love the Ghost series. I have been training and racing in them for years. I also have a pair I wear to work. Great shoe.

Very comfortable shoe. Fits great! I normally buy the glycerin sneaker but decided to make a change because of the color selections. So far, so good.

I usually wear the brooks glycerins or hoka Cliftons because I love high cushion/plush feeling when running. However, these had a great amount of cushion with more stability/support that the glycerins and hokas tend to lack. Making for a comfortable run that doesnt leave my feet or lower legs sore after.
I did have to play around with the way I laced my shoes, specifically at the top near my ankle and ended up not lacing them all the way up. Felt like there was not enough room for my ankle at the cuff, so I laced it lower so more of the tongue was exposed and this made it significantly more comfortable. When laced all the way up I was getting cuts on my heels from the cuff/top line digging in. Otherwise a very comfortable shoe, just might have to play around with the laces.

This is my first pair of Brooks, it wont be my last. These are the most comfortable running shoes, I have ever owned. Youve got a Brooks customer for life.

Overall, the shoe is as expected, but the shoelaces are too short.

First, I'm not a 'runner', I'm just a senior citizen looking for comfortable shoes!!!! So, I have a pair of Ghost 15, That I LOVE!! When the '16' came out I fell in love the color selection, I had to have a pair!! So, I LOVE the color. When I first put them on I was a little disappointed, They felt tight, I checked the size on the sneaker, it was correct. So I loosened the laces all the way down, that made them feel better, but now the laces are short. I thought maybe they just needed breaking in? That hasn't turned out to be the case. I have fallen arches, the arch support is really good!! The soles make walking more comfortable!! So, other than that really snug feeling, I really like these!!

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.

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!

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Runs NarrowRuns Wide
Poor SupportGreat Support
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.

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.
