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.

Great travel shoe and around home

The Ghostb16 is a great shoe. I wear it everywhere I travel. I like the sturdy fit around my foot and the weight of the shoe (light not clunky). Highly recommended. Great for daily walking.

Et Tu, Brute?

I have used Ghosts for 3 years now and these are different. Abysmal support. I now have a knee problem that has been made worse (or created?) by these shoes, but they were quite fun and bouncy before the knee problem. Brooks has been essential to my training for the last 10 years and I am confident I will find another Brooks shoe that will do the job.

These shoes don’t seem to be made like the older ghost - they have given me blisters on my toes and taken the skin off the back of my heel. I even went up half a size.

Love these!

I Love my new Ghost 16. I have the grey and wear them almost every day! They are sooo comfortable, stylish and I love that the top of the shoe is a little thicker than the Glycerin 20 that I wore out! Would definitely buy again

I purchased these shoes for my sister who is a hairdresser. She says those are the best shoes she has ever put on her feet.

My latest pair is still great, as always!

My latest pair is great as always. As an option, I’d like to select different colored laces, e.g. a standard option to choose more visible fluorescent orange laces for outdoor walking.

Great walking shoes

This is a great shoe, with good arch support and deep heel cup for stability and comfort. No foot pain or blisters with these shoes, which I have had with most other shoes that cost more money. Shoes are used for walking daily.

Arch and knee pain

Loved the Ghost 15 and swore by them my whole pregnancy working at that hospital, but I just cannot wear the Ghost 16 without arch and knee pain. I thought it might be just my body, but wore my new Adrenalines all day at work without any issue; wore the Ghosts the next day and had pain halfway through the day. I hate writing negative reviews, but there is just something about this shoe that doesn’t agree with my foot!

TERRIBLE FIT

This is the 2nd Ghost 16 I tried- the first one was a 7.5 W, very sloppy fit; the second Ghost 16 was 7.5 Med. width, not comfortable at all, my heels hurt, right foot goes numb. This is the worst Ghost shoe and I been wearing Ghosts for years……I’m extremely DISAPPOINTED. Returning and don’t know what to try ??

Not my first pair, not my last. Love Ghosts.

My favorite running shoe. Can’t go wrong with a Ghost 16. Squishy, light, super comfortable.
