Ghost 16 restores my faith :). The 15s were not a great shoe and in general I think Ghost has fallen off a bit since the 12s. These new 16s, however, are fantastic. Especially love the extra cushioning.

Very comfortable and lightweight just like previous generations. Didnt even take much to break then in. Great product. Highly recommend.

I buy a new pair of Ghost every 6 months and have for the past several years. I will not be buying another pair of the 16s. Overall disappointing but mainly due to how quick they broke down. I have noticed a decline in the quality over the past couple models but the 16 has been the worst.

I have a hard enough time finding shoes in my size. Nevertheless ones that don't look hideous. These are immensely comfortable, light and look great too. My first pair was too small and that's when I learned I'd been wearing the wrong size. The return on my original pair was simple and my new pair arrived quickly. Will 100% buy another pair in the future.

This is the best version of the Ghost yet.for me, at least. Perfect combination of cushioning and stability. Also, while I have a relatively narrow foot, the toe box has good room for me, too. I just wish it came in a dark navy with a dark grey sole!

Since I began running, I have owned the Ghost 12's thru 15's and have to say the 16's are my favorite. The Ghosts have always fit my feet perfectly and provide comfort right out of the box. There definitely seem to be a few noticeable changes on the 16's compared to previous models. The main thing I noticed, was the wider mid-sole which I actually like because the shoe seems to have even more stability than previous models. The Ghosts have always been super breathable even in the summer months and the 16's seem to have added additional mesh which provides even more breathability. The Ghosts might not be flashy like Hoka or Saucony (which I have tried in the past and neither worked for me) but the Ghosts are reliable and always provide a great feel on my runs (typically run 30-40 miles per week). Everyone's feet are different, so I would take all reviews with a grain of salt and find a shoe that is comfortable, provides breathability and support. Stick with that shoe and push your limits!

Ive purchased brooks for about 8 years now (3 pair a year) and after this purchase I dont know if I will be buying brooks ever again. Less than a month and the bottom of the shoes are completely flat, tread is completely gone, and for the first time in my life, I have plantar fasciitis before of the quick wear on these shoes. I thought it was just me but my wifes brooks are a week older than mine and have the same issues. I dont know if a new material is being used to manufacture, but neither of us are happy with our recent purchase.

The Ghost 16 provides support and cushioning. I am retired...I am not a runner...so I wear this sort of shoe all day long so color is very important....like the grey with the yellow trim. I would prefer slightly larger lace eyelets.

I have a narrow foot. The ghost 16 in size narrow is wider than than the ghost 14 and too wide for serious running. The shoe is good except for the fit.

The shoes are comfy but the sides wrinkle and distort the look of the shoe. Other than that I'm pleased.

Shoes are a good fit. Also, I am so delighted about your return policy of a previous pair that did not fit that I just ordered a second pair of this model.

I'm heavyset with a ton of joint and back issues. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things and currently walk about 20 miles a week. The new Ghost 16's are like walking on a dense, stable, cloud. They feel so nice, they encouraged me to throw in some intermittent jogging without pain.

I just received my pair of Ghost 16s a couple of days ago and immediately broke them in with my usual 5K training runs. I truly have to say that they're the best running shoes I've had in some time. I've had Ghost versions 13, 14, and 15, but Ghost 16 is definitely the best so far. Thank you Brooks! Keep on improving as you see fit. :)

A lightweight, comfortable running shoe. I went with the ghost max simply because I was looking for maximum comfort.

Awesome shoe. In my opinion the Ghost 16 fits way better than the previous ghosts (and Ive had quite a few). Well balanced, enough cushion to make your runs more enjoyable, but still providing the neutral stability. Im very happy with this product!
