Why We Like The Brooks Ghost 16 GTX Running Shoe

When running in the Brooks Ghost 16 GTX Running Shoe, we get lost in the flow within our first stride. The DNA LOFT v3 midsole foam is infused with nitrogen to reduce weight, deliver the softest strikes, and propel us into our most powerful toe offs yet. With a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit liner on our side, rain showers fail to slow us down, while the Segmented Crash Pad has us transitioning from heel to toe so smoothly, we feel as if we're levitating.

Nice fit. Very comfortable. Happy feet!

I've been wearing Brooks Ghost with gortex for years. Great support and keeps my feet dry.

Good fit. Decent support for being one feet all day. I prefer the Glycerin for more stability however. The fabric has held up better than OC so far.

Colour Yay!

Thank you for finally making the Ghost GTX in a colour other than black 🤩 I have been wearing these shoes for years and love them, I have four pairs all black 🥱 Comfortable and great for training at the gym and running.

My new favorite!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first opened the box, I thought these shoes looked weird now seeing them in person with the total black on black and the perforated little holes and the chunky soles. I was regretting thinking they were not really quite my typical style. The shoes actually reminded me of the funky old slip-resistant restaurant shoes that I was required to wear back in the day when I was a server. First impressions aside, when I pulled the first shoe out of the box I immediately noticed how incredibly lightweight they feel! To try them on, I loosened up the laces and noticed that the laces felt like a really nice heavier quality that will actually (hopefully) last. The fabric of the overall shoe is also quite soft and cushioned. After I slipped my foot in, I realized these shoes fit me perfectly! They do not feel too wide in the toes or too narrow which is often an issue with some running shoes. There’s also nothing worse than wearing a shoe that comes up too high and rubs against your ankle the whole time so I really like the way these shoes have incorporated a deeper curve on the sides. The curves allow the shoe to fit comfortably on top and well below my ankle area. The inside footbed also has some decently comfortable cushioning. I was not expecting this shoe to provide any sort of change to my height but the thick soles do actually create a bit of extra lift. If I have one shoe on and one off, my foot without the shoe is slightly raised off the ground. The bottom soles give decent stability and have a little grip to them which is helpful for pavement or other smooth surfaces. The soles also provide a slight easy roll towards the toes to help keep up with the forward momentum of running or walking. I haven’t found anything in particular that I really don’t like about these shoes other than a cosmetic issue. This might actually just be a petty quality control issue but I feel like it’s quite noticeable in some areas of the shoe where it seems to have some extra glue around the soles and around some of the decal designs on the sides. It might just be really noticeable because of the dark color of the fabric but from such a high quality shoe, I would usually expect to not see that. I only hope it doesn’t cause any future issues with separation after exposing the shoes to the elements during wear since they’re supposed to be water resistant. With that being said, I haven’t even mentioned yet but these shoes incorporate the gore-Tex technology to provide resistance to water. I haven’t been through any wet conditions yet with them but it’s an excellent feature! Now that I have had the opportunity to actually wear these around for a bit, I absolutely love how lightweight they are and they have proven to be quite comfortable for longer periods of wear. Even though the laces have a smooth feeling fabric, I have not had any problems with keeping them tied or felt like I needed to re-tie or adjust them after wearing for a bit. I have also decided that these shoes look MUCH better when I’m wearing them in comparison to my first impressions of them sitting in the box. Just based on the lightweight comfort and functionality, these shoes have now become my first choice to wear and would highly recommend them!

Brooks Ghost Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like these run a little small and I would've preferred a wide so they won't be my go to in the current size. If you like a classic black shoe these are a stylish one with some grey speckles on the side. I think they're super light and the heel is cushy. Laces are perfect length and the shoe is breathable.

Not as comfortable as I had hoped

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While these shoes are perfectly fine for walking, for me they were not the most comfortable running shoes. I got my normal size and the shoes felt narrow and my feet felt constricted while wearing them. I have a high arch and it felt tight at the top of my feet. Additionally, they lacked the cushioning and support I expected. On the positive side, the shoes are lightweight and the fabric is breathable, making it ideal during hot weather. While I like the design of the shoe, I wasn’t a fan of the all black color. The color reminded me of service industry shoes and it’s not a shoe I would wear outside of running.

Comfortable Running Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost 16 GTX is a pair of exceptional running shoes that has exceeded my expectations. Its superior cushioning and support have significantly reduced my running fatigue. The shoe's breathable mesh upper provides excellent ventilation, keeping my feet cool and dry. The GTX model's waterproofing has been a game-changer for running in wet conditions. Overall, the Ghost 16 GTX is a top-notch choice for serious runners. It's a must-have for anyone seeking a high-performance shoe. I'm thoroughly impressed and will continue to trust Brooks for my running needs!

Brooks Ghost

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are like walking in clouds. They are so comfortable! I feel like they give a lot of cushion. My feet are so comfortable during my runs. Like I said I really enjoy the cushion and spring like feeling when running. I don’t have many complaints. The style is slight boring so I look forward to seeing some more fun designs.
