Details & care

Built to ground every stride in plush, lightweight cushioning, this running shoe sits on segmented technology to move easily from heel strikes to toe-offs.

Perfect for: Everyday runners and walkers looking for lightweight cushioning that moves comfortably with every stride or step.

Upper: Engineered mesh flexes comfortably with your foot. Airy knit provides breathability and ventilation. Recycled content keeps every step smart.

Midsole Drop: 12mm. Classified as a high-drop measurement, it allows for more cushioning to absorb the impact of heel strikes.

Lower: DNA LOFT v3 cushioning infused with lightweight nitrogen puts plush, responsive comfort under every stride or step. Segmented Crash pad moves from heel strikes to toe-offs for smooth, distraction-free transitions.

  • Cushioning: absorbs impact and distributes weight for consistent, buoyant comfort under each step
  • Lace-up style
  • Removable, cushioned insole allows for custom orthotics
  • DNA LOFT v3 nitrogen-infused cushioning pairs responsive performance with soft, lightweight comfort
  • Textile and synthetic upper and lining/rubber and synthetic sole
  • Imported
  • Item #10049165

The Ghost 16 have been super disappointing. I thought they would get better as I wore them in, but I never really had to do that with any Ghost in the past. Shoe is smaller and thinner than the past. Quality seems much worse. These 16s have 135 miles of walking (very little running) on pavement, and they're already done. The tread is worn thru on the left shoe, and they've been uncomfortable for the last month. I got over 350 miles on my 14s. The pictures tell the story. I'm now not sure what to do for my next shoes. I've put so many people in Brooks, especially the Ghost. I can't do that after the 16.

Too Narrow
I’ve been wearing the ghosts since the 13 and these have become much more narrow. For the ghost 15 I was a 2E and even as a 4E these ghost 16s have become too narrow. I love Brooks for the wider toe box, but these have become too narrow. Hoping they go back to the wider shoe to differentiate against other running brands!

My first painful Ghist experience
Been wearing the Ghost since #10, this was my first problem model. Toe box is way too tight and hasn't opened up even after break in.
