Brooks Men’s Ghost 16 Neutral Running Shoe

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.

Review follows 20 days since delivery. I’ve used the shoe on 16 occasions since, which each is about 5 km. The shoe was true to size, and did not require any breaking in. I have used both barefoot and traditional type shoes in the past. The Ghost 16 is suited for walking and running, and is a very comfortable shoe that provides more cushioning that I am used to (I generally run/walk on asphalt). The shoe absorbs much of the impact, and the shape allows my foot to feel secure without having a constricting toe box. After a short (5 km) walk or a run my feet does not feel fatigued or strained, and this is one of the strong points of this shoe. As a barefoot run generally leaves my feet feeling at least a little strained or tired, and typical trainers does not absorb the impact as well as these. There is minimal wear at this point, and the shoe still presents as new. The shoe lasers stay tied as long as you give them a good tug when you tighten them. $135 is a fairly steep for a pair of running shoes, especially considering how fast you wear them out, but I don’t regret the purchase and will definitely consider getting another pair when the time comes. 5 stars, everything you can hope for.

It's very comfortable to wear, especially when standing for long periods or going for a walk. The footwear offers easy, natural movement and is well-cushioned, providing support with each step. Initially, it felt a bit tight around the sides due to new material, but it became more comfortable after a short break and some wear. Although it has a somewhat snug fit, I appreciated how secure and supportive it felt, enhancing the overall experience. The color is not overly bright but offers a warm, inviting appearance. Notably, there is excellent air circulation through strategically placed vents, which kept the inside nearly sweat-free during extended wear—an important feature for me. Sole is somewhat okay, not too thick which i expected but at the same time it is not too think. So far, I have no complaints about this product, and it continues to meet my expectations.

Perfect fit and reasonable price! No issues with shipping. Arrived with box intact. Does not appear that show was ever tried on. It is exactly what it showed to be on the Amazon site. Completely satisfied!

Other half likes them. He does state it hurts his small toes though. Which is odd bc they are not too tight & they are wide. But we walk theme parks a lot & he said overall they make a great difference from regular sneakers.

Best running shoes ever. They feel great. They are light. They lasted a while. I'd buy them gain if they didn't cost so much. Fit good. Great support.

The used - in very good condition Brooks Ghost 16 shoes arrived ahead of schedule. These are hard to find and were great right out of the box. My previous pair were no longer feeling good on my walks. Recommend this seller!

I am into these about 30mi. I have been loyal to a different brand for decades, but found this year's neutral running model of that brand is not going to last the season because of lack of thickness to the rubber in the landing pad. So these Brooks are a trial to see if I'm ready to jump ship. Things are looking good for Brooks, although will have to see over the course of a summer. Foam, no matter what brand, is such a fantastic innovation if you want to call it that. Oh my gosh foam does heaps to reduce the wear on joints over a running season. So the foam base, on these in my opinion, is in line with the industry and on par. It's cushions quite well. Again, they are just breaking in at 30 miles for me. The rubber pad is what makes these better than the model I am coming from. The rubber on these is hardened in some way and seems to be wearing well. In any event, I have confidence at this stage that they can last a full season. My other pair would not. The room in the shoe is right for me. I feel no cramping in the toe box. They feel a snug pair of shoes, but not too tight. I am happy with the fit. Fit is right for me. I like the material of the upper. It breathes enough for me. The laces, the tongue it's all about right for my preference. So looking good that I make the switch into the brand. It's a neutral shoe, which means it's expected that the wearer has a neutral gate and doesn't need extra support for a rolling landing and they do fine by me here. Love them so far.

Sono davvero soddisfatto di queste scarpe da running! Fin dal primo utilizzo ho notato la leggerezza e il comfort: sembrano cucite su misura. Offrono un ottimo supporto al piede e un’ammortizzazione che rende la corsa molto più fluida, anche su lunghe distanze. La tomaia traspirante mantiene i piedi freschi, mentre la suola garantisce una buona aderenza su vari tipi di terreno. Design bello e moderno. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Le consiglio sia ai principianti che ai runner più esperti.

Good

Heel comfortabele loopschoenen, goede demping.

Small for the size I used them anyway.. comfortable. .

I have been using Brooks Ghost running shoes for 10 years. I have before that and a couple of times used, Asics, Hoka and Adidas but for me Brooks are the best and most comfortable for running. They have never disappointed and are very well made. Both the Adidas and Hoka caused training injuries, plantar fascitis for Adidas and tight Hamstring discomfort from the Hoka shoe, but never had any injuries using Brooks Ghost.
