Details & care

Built to ground every stride in plush, lightweight cushioning, this running shoe sits on segmented technology that moves 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

love it
I usually wear size 7.5, but for the Ghost 16 I had to size up to 8, and it fits perfectly. The shoes are very comfortable. The cushioning is excellent and keeps my feet from getting tired, and the upper is breathable so my feet don’t overheat. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend going at least half a size up

Not for me
Sad to rate these so low as I typically run in Brooks (just not this style). I ran 2x in these shoes and my feet and joints hurt. I switched back to the Glycerine with no issue.

Love the wide toe box
I needed a shoe for walking - this one is great. The wide toe box gives me plenty of room.

Not comfortable:(
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are not comfortable, they’re very stiff with no cushioning.
