Definite downgrade from previous version
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the 13s. I assumed the 16 would be even better, but they are awful. I cannot wear them for more than a quick walk without blisters and abrasions on the side of my big toe. There is some type of hard material in the toe box that needs to be cut or shaped better. Please turn some attention to fixing this issue.

Great for walking
I like these a lot. Just the right amount of softness for me. It’s very comfortable. I’m a walker not a runner

They are okay.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is a nice amount of arch in the shoe. Unfortunately the shoe laces come apart easily and I have to repeatedly/frequently retie the shoes.

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!

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.
