The toe box is much smaller and the arch placement has changed. The ghost has been my go to for many years and I can no longer wear them, I am so sad.

A little wider in toe box than my 14’s but overall good comfy fit. Very good cushion. Overall I am pleased

Great new model

Generally run 30-35 miles per week. Ghost 16 is such a great upgrade to the 15. The toe box seems a bit wider and there may be more surface area under the whole foot. There is a little bit more cushion but I can still feel the ground for push off. Love this shoe.

Fingers crossed for Ghost 17!

Compared to the Ghost 15, the 16s feel to me a little stiffer, and my heel slips despite various lacing strategies. I am a long time Ghost runner. I realize that not every shoe modification is ideal for every runner. This year was not a good one for me, so I'm going to have to return these and keep my fingers crossed for Ghost 17.

Much improved over Ghost 15

The Ghost 16 is sooooo much better than the 15 in terms of cushioning, both on top and bottom of the shoe. I went from a Ghost 13 to a 15 and was very disappointed. Had to return the 15. No cushioning for my tired arthritic feet. I am very happy with the 16. It’s great, very comfy. I wear my new shoes daily. Only one suggestion- please make it available in more colors in narrow. I ordered both the peacoat/raspberry/apricot and the all black (only colors available in narrow sizes). Thanks for bringing back the cushioning!

Comfortable and cute

I bought a black pair from a small running shoe store recently and loved them so much I had to buy a lighter color pair for a tropical cruise. They are so comfortable and the colors go with so many things. Spent a lot of time walking the cruise ship and at the ports. Looking forward to running in the darker pair.

Wide Sneaker for medium

I was excited for the Ghost 16 hearing that it would have more cushion. Although it has more cushion it is distinctly wider than any of my previous versions- so much that my forefoot feels like it is sliding in the shoe. I don’t see that there are narrows offered. Not sure what I will do as these are the only sneakers I have worn since the 10!

Ghost 16 (W)

I had anticipated these shoes fitting the same as the Ghost 15. I think maybe after I wear awhile they will feel better (🤞🏻). I do like the cushion and think (hope) they last longer.

Works great Long days on my feet

I’m a medical assistant and on my feet all day. These shoes are awesome at keeping my feet comfortable on my 10-12 hour days. I’ve had SO MANY compliments on them. Especially the color. Love them.
