Awesome shoes! I was looking for a faster, all purpose shoe to take to boot camp, and use for my tempo/threshold runs, and for some track work, and I wanted something
with closer to a 6mm or 8mm drop. I have stupid, wide feet, so finding shoes that fit is hard for me, but I knew from the Ghost max (which rock) that these would probably fit.I
didn't see any other Brookes shoes in 4E, so I decided to these, even though the drop is a bit crazy.My cadence naturally goes up with these, and I absolutely love tempo runs

The Ghost max didn't really give me that probably at all, though, and I just noticed it more in these. They're also a bit heavier than similar shoes that I've had.I would absolutely love an exact copy of the Ghosts, but just with a 6mm drop.

Those reviewers keep praising every shoe from every company with no conscience! I fell for too many of those “expert” opinions, only to realize they love every shoe - and get, at the very least, free shoes.Note: I’ve owned and worn Ghost 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15 and 16. The failures began with 13 and keep piling up.I returned my 16 model to the running store and am trying something different. No need to mention which shoe company it is, because it isn’t Brooks- sad to say.For the record, I’ve owned more than 20 pairs of Ghost in the past, including at least 10 of Ghost 12.

It was fine so long as I basically didn't walk more than 500 steps. The pain intensified after 500 steps to the point where I couldn't walk correctly.The pain eventually got so bad that I was taking NSIADs multiple times a day and wearing ice packs to relieve the pain and swelling. Nothing changed in my routine. No new exercise, no increased intensity, nothing. It wasn't until I was going somewhere (not wanting to get the new 16's muddy) that I put on the 15's and noticed I was able to walk with very minimal pain. Still there, but didn't increase as I walked. I stopped wearing the 16's completely and after almost a week, the pain is almost gone. I still get swelling here and there and continue to ice when needed, but I no longer need NSIAD's.I put a lot of trust in this shoe to the point where I didn't think twice about it being the culprit. I've recommended this brand to a lot of people, though now it seems it's time to find another.

I am a high distance competitive runner. I have no injuries and currently in good shape running 30-40 miles a week mixed between distance running on roads and speed work on the track. I only run in the Ghost and have been for the last 10+ years.I can absolutely not run in the Ghost 16. Fit is extremely off. The pair I bought runs very large. The Ghost 15 already required I go down from the typical size 10.5 I used to wear to a size 10 for a proper fit; now the size 10 in the Ghost 16 feels like it is an entire size too big.Also notice the slight charges have a noticeable impact to stride when running and the cushioning profile seems to stress pressure points resulting in aches and stress in the foot and legs that I could feel that would cause injury if continued ...

I would be open to be contacted to discuss further. Thank you.

Fit and cushion feels great right out of the box. Put about 7 miles on them the first night and wore to work a few days later. Overall, I really like the fit and the quality of materials. In my opinion a HUGE step up from the Ghost 14 or 15. My only issue is the super stiff piece of plastic(?) on the back of the heel seems to create a rather inflexible back (heel cup) to this shoe, I had some Achilles tendinitis nagging me on one side after about 5 miles. I don’t normally wear a 12 mm drop shoe much these days, so that could be part of the issue. I am going to give them a few more easy runs to try to “break them in” and sincerely hope that goes away. Not sure why that piece of plastic is there at all TBH, but it does seem to create a very stiff heel backing to the ... MoreFit and cushion feels great right out of the box.

Not sure why that piece of plastic is there at all TBH, but it does seem to create a very stiff heel backing to the shoe, which I have read about in the professional reviews as well - so just to be aware of that as a potential issue if you have sensitive Achilles tendons. The underfoot transition otherwise feels very smooth and, true to Ghost form, this seems like a great shoe for everyday training miles. I likely will not use it for racing or tempo work as Brooks has far better offerings for those efforts. Overall I really do like the ride - not as “cushy” as a Glycerin, of course, but it strikes a nice balance for someone who appreciates a slightly firmer ride for training while still having enough cushion underneath. PS - The upgraded softness in the foam/heel/midsole is noticeable especially during easier paces and walking, but then feels somewhat firmer and more responsive during regular pacing….not sure how they made that happen (magic!), but it suits me just fine!

Huge fan of the Ghost 16 GTX. Took them out of the box and hiked a 4 mile loop with the family. Conditions were a little slick, and the Ghost performed great. The shoe has excellent traction and great support, I felt comfortable enough to have my 3 year old on my shoulders for most of the hike even on slick rock and steep inclines. The Gore-Tex finish kept my feet dry throughout the hike. The Ghost 16 has become my new go to for family hikes.These shoes have also performed well at the gym.

As a recent convert to Brooks and getting back into running, I was very excited to try the Ghost 16. I don't have a particular reason of why it took me so long to try Brooks, but I can say that I have had some mixed success trying other brands and found some to not fit well, or support my frame and running style. I'm a creature of habit and once I find something that I like, fits, and performs well, I stick with it. I'm happy to say that these shoes are ones that I am going to stick with.

It's something that I could wear as an everyday shoe (I have) and also for running (I have) and training (have again!). Owning a multifunctional shoe important to me. I tend to have multiple pairs of the same shoes that I rotate through and pair them with different activities depending on where they are in the shoes life cycle. When I put them on, they felt great. The fit to my feet was perfect and they provided a lot of noticeable cushion (springy) and support. They did not feel like brand new shoes, but like ones that I had been wearing for awhile and have that nice well loved feel to the fit and you wear them because they are one of your favorite pairs of shoes. There was room in the toe box for expansion while running and the mesh was also breathable. The shoes felt solid moving around in them and feel like they are made with some quality materials.I started my break in period by wearing them as my every day shoe. They looked good as work shoes and fit into my casual work dress code. My days include multiple dogs walks on varied terrain, light hiking/walking, and lots of everyday moving around and standing. I have closed in on 20,000 steps in a day with them on without any issues. I'm bringing them as my vacation shoes in a few weeks where we typically close in on 30,000 steps. I'm confident they will handle the steps and if I decide I want to get a run in, I'm covered.I've got them out for some light gravel road/path work in addition to road and treadmill work, and they have performed well. As I mentioned earlier, I am getting back into running after a few years absence. I think my days of half marathons and extreme trail running are over, but I am happy to be getting back out there. I have not taken these for more than a few miles, but all the runs have felt good. My running style is fairly neutral in terms of foot position and have a heavier frame.I really like their look and feel and their overall performance so far. They are working well for what I need and expect from a shoe. At this point, I can't think of anything that I would change on them.Pros-Great look and feel-Very comfortable and fit like a glove-Good cushioning feels almost springy-Supportive over a wide range of activities and terrainCons-None yet

They were replaced immediately after that race, with some Adrenaline GTS 18’s; and I worked up to finishing the Detroit half by fall 2019. After suffering a bad ankle sprain in June 2020, my once injured ankle has not felt the same — even after PT. I’d since transitioned to spinning but still get out for a run when I can. I’ve had some IT band irritation, potentially from cycling position, and I’m back focusing more on the run again.I can’t say enough about how much of a difference the nitrogen injection seems to make, and would love to see it come to the Adrenaline, Glycerin GTS, or Ghost Max.Brooks for the win!

The shoe's main update is an updated DNA Loft v3 midsole which does reduce some weight and add a little airiness to the ride. For me, the Ghost 16 is definitely doing its' job as a training shoe. The biggest plus for me is in the fit. The shoe feels very low in volume and it feels like it cradles my foot well as I push through the miles.

Otherwise pretty good and comfortable lockdown elsewhere. The Ghost will be your workhorse training shoe capable of giving you a predictable ride mile after mile. It's stable too - everything lines up pretty well here for a neutral shoe. For $140 you ought to get your money's worth in mileage.Overall, for a neutral, daily training shoe without extra bells and whistles, it provides a solid if unspectacular ride. There is an added benefit if you like a tighter fit from the laces. With a high drop, neutral training shoe, it a very familiar feel to it. I will be keeping this shoe in my training roster for sure!

Started getting into running a little bit in the fall of last year and just started back up in April.

Just to be clear I have not had these shoes long and have only done 5 runs in them so far so my review probably doesn’t help with how the shoe is in the long run.

If I had to pick something out I don’t like about it so far I would say the only gripe about it is my left big toe was rubbing a bit first couple of runs it hurt and bruised a bit but that went away the more I used the shoe. I do all my runs in the early mornings and in this shoe so far I’ve only run in temps anywhere between 40 F and 60 F and also 2 of the runs in the rain. You will get your socks wet obviously if you run in the rain pretty sure no running shoe is waterproof but as for the grip in the rain it wasn’t much different than you running in dry weather which was nice. So yeah wish I could say more maybe if I remember I’ll come back and add to this after wearing it for more runs.
