Great walking/running shoe
I really like wearing the Ghost shoes & they are really comfortable. They feel a little bit more relaxed than the Adrenaline I usually wear, but they still provide great support. The fit is true to size, and the shoes are awesome.

My go-to running shoe
I’ve been running in Brooks for years now, and the Ghost 16 continues to prove why it’s my top choice. I picked these up on sale, and they immediately became part of my daily rotation. I run every day, outdoor and treadmill, and I keep one pair just for the treadmill to extend their life. Even with that much use, they hold up extremely well. The cushioning feels balanced, not overly soft, but just enough to absorb impact and keep things smooth on long runs (i weigh about 190). The toe box has enough room without feeling sloppy, and the heel lockdown is solid. They’re lightweight but still supportive, which I appreciate after trying a few shoes from other brands that felt either too heavy or too flimsy. Design-wise, the color options on the Ghost 16 look nice. They’ve moved toward a more modern athletic look, not overly flashy but still sharp enough that I wear them casually too. The upper is breathable and doesn’t feel bulky or overly padded, even after long use. Honestly, for a neutral runner, it’s hard to find a better blend of comfort, durability, and performance at this price, especially when they’re on sale. I’ve worn other brands, but I keep coming back to Brooks.

Love these shoes.
I use these shoes for every day use, not specifically as running shoes. They are very comfortable and breathable. The sole cushions are nice and feel like they form to my feet. I really like the Ghost color scheme. I’m men’s size 13 US.

Great shoe just wish the durability was a tad better.
I love these shoes but can only give them 4 stars because of durability. I have bought many Brooks Ghost shoes and love them and the Ghost 16 are no different. They have great arch support and cushioning. I love the tread and traction on these shoes. The tread is very durable. Where they lack durability is in the heal and fabric by the toe. I feel like these areas wear out after about 9 months. I hope that changes with the 16s but I am doubtful after wearing them a few times. The durability in these areas seem to be the same.

Sasquatch style!
For those of us with big Sasquatch feet it's nice to have a athletic shoe that not only has ample room for my stompers, it also comes in more colors than just the plain old black and white I normally have to choose from. My shoe size is Men's 14 Wide, so when I found this set that looked nice and had good reviews I was ecstatic. The pros. The weave on the inside upper part of the shoe is very strong. I have a bad habit of pointing my toes upward when I run or do cardio, and a lot of my other shoes have had holes rubbed through the top, but I've been working out several times a week in these and haven't noticed any tearing yet. The color lining that goes on the side of the shoes has a block that goes in front of the toes which helps if you need to nudge stuff out of the way with your shoes and it looks cool too. The traction on the bottom is great for gym shoes, it's not rough enough to tear up any surfaces but it has enough dips and patterns to where I've had no issues with slipping on wooden or concrete floors in exercise classes like zumba, fitness boot camp, or HITT. Cons. The part that has the toe has seemed to fade a little bit more than the rest of it, but it's not bad or noticeable enough to warrant me getting a new pair yet. The base is also flared around the entire shoe so it is going to give your feet a bigger profile and you'll have to be careful not to scrape the sides if you put your feet in pedals or are using step boxes when exercising. Conclusion. Big feet can finally have some fun choices in footwear, and with it having color options to choose from, being pretty good material quality, and being comfortable to wear I would say I'm very happy with this purchase and I'll be heading right back here when it's time to get another pair this coming summer.

My favorite running/ walking shoe
Love these shoes. This is my second pair. Last about a year / two years with daily use. I walk 5-10 miles at a time and these shoes remain comfortable. There wasnt any break in period for me. They squish down for me in my Rollerboard when I travel and keep their shape when I take em out. -not waterproof or water resistant -not warm (they breath very well) They look great abs the black is nice. I love the wide toe box.

Quality shoes you can count on!
I bought this pair after I returned the same model in blue and they fit perfectly. The first pair I bought had a right shoe that was more narrow than the other shoe and was not comfortable. I am assuming it was a manufacture defect as I have been buying Brooks running shoes now for a few years and have not experienced this defect before. I do not run but walk allot and Brooks are always great at supporting my back and reducing pain. I have walked 10 miles at Disneyland in a previous model (Ghost 14) and would have not been able to do this wearing other brands (Nike, New Balance). There is a reason why pediatrist recommend Brooks, they are built right! If you have never owned a pair because of the price, trust me you will thank yourself for spending the extra money! Cheers
