Brooks  Ghost 16 Road-Running Shoes - Men's

Ghost 16

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For me this shoe has been good so far, time will tell more as I continue using them. I should've ordered the size 9.5 for a bit extra space, but I was too hesitant & went with the 9. It'll just mean that I'll have to not run in them for too many consecutive times & swap then out with my old runners so they don't cause me problems. Love the colours & how they look too.

I've owned five pairs of GHOAST and use them for my annual 800 to 2000 miles of road training and racing. They are a reliable choice that I don’t have to think about while running. The design has improved, especially for heel strikers like me. The sole durability is better than before; I can reach about 600 miles on a pair while they still look and feel good. My first pair lasted 900 miles before retiring. I also use four other brands, and as someone with wide feet, I've tried both standard and wide versions. The wide fit offers extra toe space, but the added width around the laces is excessive for me. The standard fit works fine after breaking them.

Stylish and comfortable, with great cushioning

I was a little hesitant to buy the Parkrun edition Ghost 16s as they weren’t available in the wider fit like some other colours in the range, but I decided to go up half a size and see how they went, and they’ve been great. Very comfortable to run in, and I love the colour accents on the soles. It’s so hard to find nice colourful men’s running shoes, so finding some that are colourful and so comfortable are a great combo! So far on their 3 outings I have managed 2 x PBs, so that has to count for something surely?!

Find a Ghost 15, or wait for 17.

Like many reading these reviews I've been using Brooks for a very long time. Theu are my favorite brand, but the Ghost 16's are a step back in fit and quality. They are very soft, which is nice, but my ankle rubs on side of every pair I've tried (I currently own the white/tan version), and the shoe upper has already started to fold and collapse and rubs the top of my feet pretty extensively, making runs uncomfortable. Along with the upper, the tread itself also seems to be wearing out after very limited use. Super frustrating. Compared to the new Ghost Max 2 and Glycerin 21, the Ghost 16 is unfortunately not up to par.

Great Running Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have difficulty with my running style causing excessive wear on my shoes. Just 3 miles can visibly affect the soles. The Brooks Ghost 16 running shoes have remedied this issue. In the 2 weeks since I have been wearing them, there is no noticeable wear on the tread and I feel lighter and more supported during runs. In addition, my run time has greatly improved and I have less fatigue in my feet. The shoes are made of high quality material, are soft and extremely comfortable and fit perfectly. The design is attractive enough that I can wear them out with a polo and a nice pair of jeans if needed. I am extremely satisfied with these shoes and highly recommend!

Beautiful, comfortable and stylish

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These running shoes are incredible. As someone who runs both road and trail I'm always looking for good options for both. These run slightly wide but that worked out to my advantage as most shoes are too tight for me. I've put some serious distance on them and they've not given me a single blister or pain. I like that they are very stylish for running shoes and go with most outfits and I don't mind if I have to stop in an errand with them on. The fabric is breathable and soft which was the icing on top. I wouldn't change a single thing about these shoes and I'll definitely be purchasing again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a long time ghost wearer and am very happy with the 16. These feel slightly better than the 14 and 15 and have so far worn well.

Good looking and well made but maybe not ideal for big guys

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great-looking and functional shoe but runs a touch narrow compared to my other Brooks models, and the 12 mm drop makes that feel even more awkward. The upper is breathable without being really stretchy and unstable. It also looks really nice. A+ The nitrogen-infused foam makes for a nice rice. Soft, comfortable, and lightweight without feeling mushy. A The 12 mm drop makes the transition to the toe feel a bit exaggerated and probably what makes me notice the toebox being a little narrow. That may be necessary with the new material, but who knows. All of this adds up to a little more jarring ride, and a less comfortable fit for a bigger guy that doesn't wear a wide shoe but needs all of the room in a standard width.
