The Ghost 16 GTX is true to size and is a good fit. I like the all black for both the overall aesthetics and because it hides the wear. Ive logged over 20 miles so far, both road and trail running, and I am pleased with their performance. The overall cushion is satisfactory. I prefer more cushioning on the ball of the foot, especially on trails, but it does the job. The GTX lining is fantastic. It kept my feet completely dry, and it kept the dirt from the trail out of the shoe. I assumed that the lining would create additional sweat especially with the summer heat. I was pleasantly surprised that was not the case. The one thing I would change is the tongue. It sits very high, and with no show or low ankle socks, the lining kind of sticks to your skin. Overall, I consider the Ghost 16 GTX a great multipurpose running shoe.

These shoes are a new favorite in my rotation. The fit is true to size and the shoes didn't take any time to break in. They are great for running on the treadmill as well as wearing all day to chase the kids. I love the black color, but they do feel a little hot while walking around in the hot Texas summer. The quality is top notch and I would definitely recommend these!

Do not sleep on these! Another top notch sneakers from Brooks. They are stylish, breathable and in salty comfortable whether using them at the gym for strength/floor workouts or for walks and runs. And lets not forget about casual wear! Truly the most comfortable sneakers Ive ever worn and fit every aspect of my on-the-go lifestyle. Not sure how I lived without these but I am a lifer. TTS across the board as well.

This could be Brooks best road shoe. They feel great and look sharp. Im not sure if they are called ghost because of the weight, but when Im wearing these shoes I feel like Im floating. They are light and flexible. I also love the monochromatic palate. I feel like they run a half size small. I took out the insole and use zero cushion socks which makes the fit much better. Overall these are wonderful shoes that seem to handle all the steps I throw at it. I am very happy I have them.

These ghosts 16s are very comfortable for walking/hiking and look great at the same time. I think the design cant be better and Brooks have been on top of their game with their shoe design! I guess the only downside with these is since they are all black shoes my feet get hot in these but I dont think its their fault but the 112 degree weather last week. I think they are going to be perfect when it gets cooler.

The quest for the perfect fit shoe is real. The Ghost 16 Gtx offers a comfortable, stylish design that hugs your feet with just the right amount of support. Its versatility makes it perfect for both running and casual wear. As someone who spends a lot of time on their feet, I can attest to the comfort these shoes provide. I highly recommend them to runners and those seeking comfortable shoes for daily wear.

I am a ghost 16 GTX convert! I run for fun and training for small 5Ks. My wife has always loved running in Brooks shoes but I am new to Brooks! This shoe feels wider in the toe box than a Nike zoom pegasus. It has less cushion than a hoku style shoe, but I honestly love the cushion in this shoe. I notice the comfortable feel the most while running uphill or going up stairs. Even if you arent a major runner, the style and look of this shoe is perfect! You will want to wear this shoe to work, around town, out to dinner! I feel like this show also supports my ankles well. It has the support in all the right places.

The size is 1/2 smaller and will cause pain. Get 1/2 size larger if you are a true size 12 US.

I bought two pairs, one for exercise walks on rainy mornings and one for morning rounds of golf when the ground is wet from dew or sprinklers. The shoes are comfortable, but did not keep my feet dry beyond the first few uses. I'll be returning both pairs.

Runs a size small probably caused by the goretex.

I have been purchasing Brooks Ghost running shoes for several years. I bought several pairs of the Ghost 16. I needed a pair of waterproof running shoes. I bought the Ghost 16 GTX. They were very tight. I really wanted to like these but they just hurt my feet and legs too much after only a few minutes. I had to return them. My size is a 13 which I purchased. If there was a 13 1/2 I would have given them a try. To Brooks credit the return went flawlessly. I will continue to purchase Brooks in the future.

I have the Ghost 14 and I LOVE them! So, I purchased the Ghost 16 GTX on accident (I was looking to purchase the Ghost 16). I bought another pair because I am a pup training and exerciser. So, I wanted another pair just in case I worked in the rain. Sadly, this pair is not the pair for me! My feet and knees hurt after I use them; which, I find it really interesting because the Ghost 14 are soooooo comfortable! On the upside, these shoes are stylish! It's tough to write this review. I love Brooks & the Ghost 14, but I had to write it because my feet and knees do hurt after I wear them and others need to know.

I purchased a pair of these and when walking there was a popping noise, I returned them to the retailer Scheels and they ordered me a second pair with great service. I received the second pair and the same popping noise when walking. It appears to come from the top of the toe. I am wondering if the gortex liner is not attached properly? Very disappointed. I have had three pair of ghost shoes and they have been great. There seems to be a problem of some kind with the gtx.
