Why We Like The Brooks Ghost 16 Shoe

Now lighter and plusher, the Brooks Ghost 16 Shoe gives us our most comfortable ride yet. This iteration features a full-length, nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 midsole foam for a smoother, softer ride that has us gliding through transitions for an effortless flow. To cut even more weight, the outsole features thinner rubber zones that are just as durable thanks to the new, rugged compound.

Definitely more comfortable and soft on the feet than the last couple of Ghost shoes. Laces are more secure and I don’t have to double knot them to keep them from coming untied. Highly recommend if you’ve enjoyed Ghost shoes in the past.

The Perfect Walking Shoe

The perfect walking shoe. This was my first pair of Brooks. I wear a 9 but sometimes red a 9.5 in tennis shoes. I ordered a 9 and they are perfect. Out of the box, I wasn’t sure I loved them but after a few long walks, I can tell you these are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. I love them and find myself reaching for them for daily wear.

Mixed feedback

I am not a runner. The reason I ordered this shoe is because I wear a women's size 13 Narrow - very hard to find. I actually need a 13 AAAA, but no one makes athletic shoes in that width. The shoe is too wide for me across the ball of the foot, but otherwise fits well. I wear them to fitness class and for every day wear. In my experience, Asics provide a better fit for narrow feet, but I have not been able to find any in a 13N in over a year.

Not wide foot friendly

The shoes felt really nice on with a good feeling to spring my feet forward. Sadly the heel was super short on my foot and got blisters within the first wear. I did return them but did like how they felt.

Bring back Ghost 11

Good cushioning but hard on feet. Softness will be better. Thin is thin and useless. No room in the shoe to replace other insoles. Ghost 11 was perfect shoe. That has been ruined in successive generations. Please go back and bring back. I returned the Ghost 16 shoes.

My feet feel cradled, my heels feel cupped and secure. The padding is soft and supportive, not too much or mushy. The shoes fit well, nothing over or under in the design fit. Light weight.

I have been in Brooks Ghost for years now. I use them for work (I am a nurse), everyday and running. They were the only shoe I could wear when my feet started aching horribly after work shifts. The Ghost 16 I just bought are squeaky and have some kind of "kink??" in the middle of the sole. Although still comfortable I fear they are not made as well. Initially I changed out my inserts to ensure that was not the issue but the problem persist.

Not the best ghost

I have ran in the ghost for years now. Unfortunately, the ghost 16 already feels dead after just 2 weeks of running in them…

Cramped toe box.

I bought these sneakers for my mother's 69th birthday. She complains that the toe box is cramped and uncomfortable compared to her similar-sized sketchers.
