Comfortable

Cute and comfortable. Not the best shoe for wide feet.

Toe box for smaller and it always feels like my feet are swollen and the laces need to be untied. My pinky toes are breaking through the side of the shoe after 8 months. I’ve bought this shoe for over 5 years and never had a problem. Disappointed in the new fit.

I've been buying Brooks shoes for many years and loved every pair I've owned. I usually buy a narrow fit. They stopped carrying the narrow in the Glycerin so I switched to Ghost. The Ghost 15 was great. I bought the Ghost 16 back in June and the shoe wore very quickly. The tread is pealing and almost gone and it has only been a few months. The padding inside has also shown a lot of wear. I walk about 2-3 miles a day and my shoes usually last 6 months to a year. I'm going to try another pair and hoping the last one was a design defect.

The Ghost 16's Are Terrible. Not Like Previous Models.

I normally don't write reviews but the quality of this shoe has me contemplating what to do next with my shoe choices. I am a long time Brooks Ghost fan and a daily long distance runner. I have been able to wear my Ghosts out of the box with no issues for over 10 years......until the Ghost 16. I am unsure of what they changed in this model but it was not for the better. The toe drop in the front is different causing pain on my big toe and the inside of my front foot rubs. Got a blister in the first 3 miles. Tried again a week later, used different socks and still got yet another blister. I'm unsure if this was a model resign or different manufacturer but I am glad I only bought this one pair of 16's because I'd return them if I was still in my window. I stock up on shoes and leave them in my closet to replace my previous shoes so I'm basically out the money for this model but never assumed this would be a problem because all of the previous models of Ghosts have been fantastic. I'm going to give the 17's one try but if they are similar to the 16's, I'm going to have to switch to a new brand of shoe.

Painful

I returned these. They made my feet hurt and gave me blisters, even after a very short run. I found them to be a lot wider than the previous model, and my feet felt like they were sliding around. The cushioning is also positioned differently and caused pain in my arches.
