Brooks Women’s Ghost 16 Neutral Running Shoe

A game changer for comfort and support
I’ve tried a lot of running shoes over the years, but Brooks has truly earned a permanent spot in my lineup. From the moment I put them on, I noticed the difference — the cushioning is plush without being too soft, and they provide excellent arch and heel support, which is a must for longer runs or days when I’m on my feet for hours.What really sets Brooks apart is how well they balance comfort and structure. My feet feel secure, yet there’s enough flexibility to move naturally. Whether I’m hitting the pavement for a morning jog or walking around the city, these shoes never leave me sore or fatigued.Another huge plus: they’re incredibly lightweight and breathable, which keeps my feet cool even on hot days. The quality is solid too — after months of wear, they’re holding up great with minimal signs of wear and tear.If you’re looking for running shoes that deliver top-notch comfort and reliable support, Brooks is a brand worth investing in. I can confidently say they’ve made my runs (and daily life) a lot more enjoyable.

Wow!
These are awesome! I have a bunion and the wide toe box and mesh upper provide a very comfortable fit. There is lots of padding and support inside. It took me a couple of days to adjust to the arch support, etc., but now I no longer have foot pain from walking and I walk 5 miles everyday! I bought a half size up and am definitively going to buy another pair!

Super Comfortable and cute!! 😍
I did research before committing to buying a new running shoe, and Brooks were a top choice! So I took a leap of faith and ordered them and I LOVE THEM! They are so comfortable! They feel like walking on a cloud. I wore them for close to 8hrs in my house while cleaning and my feet felt fine! Definitely worth the money! I also love the cream color! Matches with anything!!

COMFORT at its finest!
As someone who logs a few miles a week and spends just as much time on her feet teaching, I can confidently say that the Brooks Ghost line delivers consistent comfort, support, and style. This is my third pair in two years... not because I have worn them out, but because I wanted options.From the moment you slip them on, the plush cushioning feels like a cloud —soft but not squishy and supportive. The fit is snug around the heel with a roomy toe box. I love the extra space.They're lightweight enough for everyday wear or, if you are so inclined, for long walks or jogs.I bought these specifically to wander around Europe... with dresses. Comfort over fashion equals less tired legs and a better experience overall.

When you find a good fit, get 2. Same brand and size have very different fit between styles.
I have been a Brooks loyal customer for years, purchasing 4 or more pairs per year. I am a size 9, fairly high arch, need a generous toe box – but not wide in the heel. I consider myself a moderate level athlete. I fast walk 6-10 miles per day, and more when I am training for an event (such as the 3Day/60 mile walk).My go to for several years was the Adrenaline GTS 22. I could buy a new pair, slip my custom orthotics in, and go. No break-in period was needed. These worked great for my 3Day/60 mile walk events. Then they went to the Adrenaline GTS 23, those also fit well.Then in Oct 2024, I had to order the GTS 23 GTX. These were too narrow in the toe box. I had to return them. I’ve since tried the Revel 6 (kept for non-athletic wear); the Adrenaline GTS 24 (toe box too tight); Ghost Max 2 (felt pushed forward and were clunky); Ghost 16 (wasn’t too bad, wore it 6 mile outside and it started feeling like my toes-metatarsals were crunching); another Ghost 16 (to confirm if it was just an oddity last time – wasn’t) I decided to try a wide, and ordered the Launch 10, in 9 wide. They were too wide overall. Then tried Launch 10, in 9 regular width. The Launch 10 is the winner by far. Just ordered another pair, as there are not many options in my size left.My husband thought I was crazy with shoes coming and going. I don’t mind the price as long as the shoe fits properly and will not cause me any downtime from injuries.I now have a spreadsheet keeping track of all of this – paying particular attention to details like the vendors description (soft, protective vs responsive springy); are they supportive or neutral; and especially the midsole drop. When you find the right shoe, order back-up pair because they might not be the same in 3 months when you need to get new shoes.

Love these shoes.
I really love these shoes! I try to walk at least five days a week for exercise and these shoes have a lot of cushion and they are durable. These are my second pair. I have had the first ones over two years and they still look great. I do like to rotate my walking shoes and I thought I would get a fun color. I do get a half size larger than what I normally wear.

Best running shoes!
I love running and these are the best running shoes I’ve ever had! Great fit. They’re also really cute. I was able to run in them immediately and had no issues. I love how they are designed to work with my body and stride as I run. Definitely worth the price!
