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.

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.

Ghost 16

I’ve been wearing Ghost for several years now, this most recent release of ghost 16 I think is the best yet. They are comfortable and don’t push on the baby toes at all. I can wear them all day with no discomfort and there is no break in period I can take from box to feet, no blisters!

Too much squish

Although comfortable to a degree, I personally felt they are too squishy. I preferred the ghost 13 more. I found I didn't feel as stable in this newer version. I am not a runner, I m in my 60's and these have been my everyday shoes for several years. Now, I m not so sure that I won't be looking for a little more stability, yet light and comfortable.

Plus size women, who struggles with plantar fasciitis is PAIN FREE thanks to these sneakers After months of pain, and trying various other companies sneakers, it was Brooks Ghost 16 that brought reprieve to my feet. Also I have the widest feet so offering the 2E is a game changer.
