Why We Like The Brooks Ghost 16 Shoe

To make asphalt disappear underfoot, we lace into the Brooks Ghost 16 Shoe. This iteration features the ultralight, ultra-soft DNA Loft v3 midsole foam that takes the brunt of every strike without weighting our stride. Brooks shaved even more weight off by updating the outsole's rubber zones with a stronger compound that let them thin it out without sacrificing durability.

I love these!

I love the ghost 16. I have serious issues with my feet, making it very difficult to find comfortable shoes. These are the best yet! I'm not a runner and these are my daily shoes.

Great shoes, but two things bother me; first is they need a toe guard and second the shoe strings are way too long. MLL

Lifelong Brooks fan!

I use my Brooks for walking. I like the spring and soft feel of the new Nitrogen infused sole. I’ve been a Brooks customer since they had Hydra flo soles , which I miss, but have found them my only running/walking shoe for well over 30 years!

Always great

I’ve been running in Ghosts since the Ghost 5. I have a ton of other shoes, but I just keep reaching for these. They fit my feet perfectly, and they do exactly what I want them to do. They’re like stepping behind the wheel of your favorite car.

The best running shoe I’ve ever used

I’m a high school cross country runner and I’ve had these shoes for about a year now to train in, and they are amazing. The shoes are super comfortable and that’s the first difference you’ll feel when you put them on. They’re super supportive of your feet and I’ve never worn anything like them before. Also these things are insanely durable. If you use the shoes enough of course they’ll wear down (mine look a little rough at the moment) but that’s also because I use them a lot. However, early into the cross country season I got into an accident. I fell off a motorcycle after a cross country practice in the early fall and I got decently hurt because I had running gear on. The shoes though came out of the accident almost unscathed. The lace had a little bit taken out of it and there was a scuff on the side of the sole. Other than that the shoes were fine! My feet were fine too and my dad who was driving the bike had his boots all torn up after that accident. So I can be the one to say these shoes can survive a motorcycle accident. I used the same shoes for the rest of the cross country season to train in and I set a new personal best. In fact I still use the shoes to run in. My only thing about these shoes though, make sure they fit your foot correctly. If they don’t fit your foot too well then your feet will feel awful. If you’re a distance runner or just want a comfortable, supportive running shoe then these shoes are for you.

The best Ghost version yet.

Best Ghost yet. I've had a few Ghost models over the years and every time I go to look for a new pair of shoes I think I'll branch out. Every single time, I go back to the Ghost. It's shockingly comfortable, has a great neutral ride with cushion in the right spots for my feet. I have high arches and narrow feet, but I also like room in the toe box. Brooks somehow gets all of that right and I can wear these things all day. Walking, running, HIIT work outs all fit the bill. I will say that I wish they had some more interesting colorways, and that if you're in the weight room you're going to want a different pair of shoes especially for squatting or dead lifts. There's too much cushion to keep your feet stable at relatively high weights. If you're there for a normal workout though, these shoes will be more than adequate. Overall, my favorite all round running shoe is even better in the Ghost 16.

Ghost 16 You're Anazing

Solid shoe yet very comfortable. I wear them to work and stand on concrete for 12 hours a day and they perform beautifully. No sore feet and tight calves and they go the distance for wear

I only wear Brooks!

Best shoes ever! They are supportive, cushy and comfortable. Having suffered from plantar fasciitis for a long time, Brooks are the only shoes that I wear and have allowed me to continue to run!
