Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 16

My favorite shoe is now un-wearable. Ghost 16 has been changed to be much too tight and narrow compared to the 15, can't wear it without pain.

I applaud the team for trying something different with the ghost 16. I think the comfort was my main disappointment from the 16. The Ghost 15 was much more comfortable but unfortunately my color and size is sold out. Also, the 16 felt much tighter in the toe box. Nice try but didnt work for me.

Always loved ghosts. We're always my go to... until 15. They lost me there. But now the 16s? I'm back. Can't wait to see what other color combos will come out.

The ghost line are one of my favorites. The new 16s are no exception. They are great.

After a long wait and high expectations, I was saddened to return my shoes yesterday. While they are extremely lightweight and look great, my toes were seriously aching after only 20 minutes of wear, just walking around the house. The same thing happened with the initial release of the Ghost 15, so I hope that reviews are taken to heart and improvements can be made in the next release. I really like that there are so many different colors available, I am able to coordinate my shirts with my shoes on the daily. For now, I will keep wearing my Ghost 15's and will test drive the 16's and hope they will work for my feet.

Ive only worn these two or three times but Ill be sending them back. They are just as uncomfortable as the 15s. I dont know what your design team has done to these shoes but you ruined them. They are not comfortable at all. Ghost 12s were my favorite.

Only have a few miles on them but I love them! Having a B width foot/11.5 I dont often get any colors I really like, so preordered in black as thats my favorite color. Glad I did because now theyre out of stock! Fits beautifully with orthotic and extremely comfortable. Please put more black B width in your inventory!

The toe box seems stiffer and less roomy than Ghost 15. Rubs the top of my big toe much more than my 15s. I preferred the Ghost 15 because I need a lot of toe room. But otherwise similar. It's a good shoe, just not the best fit for me.

I've been a loyal Brooks Ghost runner for years, and the Ghost 12 through 15 were my perfect daily trainers. I started wearing them when I developed some Achilles tendon pain, and they were a lifesavercomfortable, stable, and just the right amount of cushioning for my daily runs. Unfortunately, the Ghost 16 has been a real disappointment. The toe box feels noticeably smaller and snugger than previous models, and the shoe just doesn't fit like the Ghosts I've trusted for years. My toes feel cramped, and the overall comfort I loved in the 1215 series is gone. To make matters worse, after looking at the changes coming in the Ghost 17, I'm not sure what I'm going to run in now. I've always counted on the Ghost series as my go-to trainer, but this change in fit has me genuinely frustrated and unsure which Brooks modelif anycan replace the perfect daily trainer I had for years. I really hope Brooks considers returning to the roomier, more comfortable fit that made the Ghost a classic.

I'm not a big fan of them, they're okay but definitely not for running. I use them to go to the gym.

Don't like this shoe as much as I like my two pair of Ghost Max.

Seems to fit alright and is comfortable for walking.

Just okay. I have had other versions of Brooks sneakers but this style is not the most comfortable. The sole seems a little squishy and the toe area does not seem as large as other models

Stiff, rigid, tight, and hard. Returned and ordered the glycerin 22

Would be a 5 but the shoes had a defect in the toe box that caused them to crease in a weird way. The shoes were very comfortable otherwise! Customer service was awesome and took care of the issue by sending me a new pair of Ghost 17 bc they are sold out of the color I have. I am a Brooks customer for life now ! Shout it to Aliya T for her amazing customer service. She went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of

The shoe is cut very short, both in width and length The cushioning could be better also

Bought for indoor work 6hrs/day. 1st day after 3 hrs they were hurting the sides of my feet Day 2 same thing. They're now my knock around shoes for running errands and such. Don't feel as comfortable as my previous pair which is the same size. Loved my old ones not this pair.

Yowch. What happened? I love my Ghost 13, 14, and 15s - but something is way different about the Ghost 16. The toe box feels more snug (I feel it on the tips of my inner big toes - same size as before) and there's something tough about the soles. Not sure what happened here but this ain't it.

I haven't been thrilled with these. They look awesome but something is off in the toe, where it feels like I'm stepping off the insole.

When walking 80F feel hot inside shoes I am not recommend

These were the exact size of my last pair of Brooks which I loved, but these are too big.

not the same fit as the Ghost 15. Little too snug even though it's the same size as the last one I bought. Little disappointed
