Brooks Men’s Ghost 16 Neutral Running Shoe

These running shoes are like running on a cloud. I ordered one size wider and they fit perfectly. I am a 3X guy so needed to have comfortable shoes as I started my C25K training. So far I love them. Also the colors and styles look great. I've only run on the treadmill so far and have had no slipping at all. Super lightweight shoes that are very comfortable. Came fully laced out of the box and all I needed to do was put them on and tie them. I've bought less expensive running shoes and personally I think it is worth paying a few extra dollars for these. If you want one less thing to worry about while running then these are the shoes for you, especially if you are a 14W size like me.

These Brooks shoes deliver exactly what the brand promises—comfort, durability, and performance. They feel light on the feet, provide excellent arch support, and are perfect for walking, running, or everyday wear. I’ve been using them regularly and they still look great. Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-quality, reliable sneakers!

Great fit, good support, comfortable from the first fit, good value.

I was in search of a good, lightweight walking shoe and my research came up with the Brooks Ghost 16. They popped up multiple times in recommendations. My intent for the shoes is for a a European trip we're making this summer. We'll be doing a great deal of city walking in Barcelona as well as some hiking (Montserrat & Cinque Terre). I ordered the shoe in my normal size, 10 w/ a normal width. After receiving the shoes I slipped them on for my normal evening 2 mile walk. My toes were crammed in the tip and I contemplated just keeping them hoping they would 'stretch' after wearing them. Instead, common sense prevailed and I returned them. As soon as my refund was returned I ordered a 10 1/2. Rec'd them and they fit like a glove (almost). This was my first pair of "Brooks" so I wasn't familiar with size variations. I've never had a shoe or boot in a 10 1/2 in the past. So, recommendation #1, if you're considering purchasing these, order them in a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. The other issue is that the description boasts a "high arch", which I have. These are not 'high arches', just normal. I ordered a set of "Walk Hero" inserts and inserted them in the shoes and now they fit 100% Great. I could have downgraded my rating to 4-stars but I kept it at 5. These are a great, lightweight, super comfortable walking shoe. I especially love this color (coconut). I recommend these just be wary of the small size as advertised.

Great shoes. Found the ghost 15 to be a bit softer if you are a heavy heel walker/runner. Also the sole of the 16 has worn a bit faster then my 15. Overall though this shoe has great support and is very comfortable as an everyday trainer.

I picked up the Brooks Ghost 16 because I’m easing back into running and wanted something reliable and cushioned to support my return. These shoes have been fantastic so far—right out of the box they felt comfortable with no break-in needed. The cushioning is just right: soft enough to absorb impact but still responsive enough to keep my stride feeling smooth.I also appreciate the roomy toe box and the solid support throughout the midfoot and heel. They feel stable without being bulky, and the overall build quality is exactly what I expected from Brooks. Whether I’m doing light jogs or longer walks, my feet feel great at the end. A great option if you’re looking for comfort and durability while easing back into a running routine.

Bought these Ghost 16 strictly because I was sitting in a boring lecture one day and went shopping in Amazon to stay awake... but am extremely pleased with these shoes. I own 2 pair of Ghost 15 and one of the Adrenaline 22 GTS. (And just this week bought a pair of the Glycerin 21) Of all of my Brooks purchases the Ghost 16 are the best. A little springier than the 15s, but just as comfortable. I am not a runner; I stand on my feet all day and the only running I do is run up and down the stairs periodically but no track or anything. After decades of achy feet at the end of every work day I just assumed that was the way it was supposed to be. Bought the Ghost 15s a year ago because all the reviews I ran across said they were the best. All the reviews were right! These things are great!For my size 11 feet the Ghost 15s are perfect, not as supportive as the Adrenaline 22 GTS so for me much more comfortable, not a cushiony as the Glycerin 21 but more than cushiony enough. Then I bought a pair of the Ghost 16. These are MORE perfecter than the 15s. And they look snazzy too,

Review follows 20 days since delivery. I’ve used the shoe on 16 occasions since, which each is about 5 km. The shoe was true to size, and did not require any breaking in. I have used both barefoot and traditional type shoes in the past.The Ghost 16 is suited for walking and running, and is a very comfortable shoe that provides more cushioning that I am used to (I generally run/walk on asphalt). The shoe absorbs much of the impact, and the shape allows my foot to feel secure without having a constricting toe box.After a short (5 km) walk or a run my feet does not feel fatigued or strained, and this is one of the strong points of this shoe. As a barefoot run generally leaves my feet feeling at least a little strained or tired, and typical trainers does not absorb the impact as well as these.There is minimal wear at this point, and the shoe still presents as new.The shoe lasers stay tied as long as you give them a good tug when you tighten them.$135 is a fairly steep for a pair of running shoes, especially considering how fast you wear them out, but I don’t regret the purchase and will definitely consider getting another pair when the time comes.5 stars, everything you can hope for.
