Ghost 16 Shoe - Men's

The Ghost 16 is ok. But just ok. And that is too bad.

The Ghost 16 is ok. It seems to sacrifice some stability for more cushion, which may be preferable to some people. This did not work for me at all, resulting in new discomfort in my feet and knees ( and that continued after 2-3 weeks of break in runs. This equally notably resolved upon returning to a new pair of Ghost 15’s. Also, there seem to be some subtle contour changes to the tow box which change the fit in a meaningful way that does not work for me - just a bit smaller in fit (or maybe this is variance in quality control?) The Ghost 15 is imperfect but it is a better overall shoe. Period. I am planning to purchase several pairs of Ghost 15’s now to get me through the interval to Ghost 17 (hoping for a more favorable design direction at that point). Otherwise it will be time to start from scratch, to include considering other brands.

I’m not a runner, but walk in these shoes. Very supportive. Very comfortable.

A great option.

A lightweight, comfortable running shoe. I went with the ghost max simply because I was looking for maximum comfort.

They are good shoe honestly all the BROOKS I’ve tried. I’m very impressed with.

Ghost 16

The shoes are comfy but the sides wrinkle and distort the look of the shoe. Other than that I'm pleased.

Favorite pair

I thought my last Brooks were comfortable. But these are by far the comfiest pair I own. My favorite pair of Brooks thus far!

Consistent with Ghosts I've worn for last several years.

I've worn Ghost size 8.5 for the last several years with incident. This new pair started out being a bit tight in the right foot big toe. After a few weeks it's stretched sufficiently to be comfortable, but it could be roomier.

If you liked Ghost 15 don't buy the 16s

Terrible shoe. It is so much squishier than the Ghost 15. Used the 16s for a week, and my muscle fatigue was over the top. Threw them out and found a store that still had some 15s.

Awesom Again

Really like the new Ghost 16. As always great comfort and style. So glad they have a gray with a black bottom.

The shoe feels a little lighter than the 15's. The heel material feels thinner but it does hold up quite well. So far it has held up very well with no issues.
