Great shoes
Excellent shoes!Fit is fantastic, extremely comfortable and supportive. Not too stiff, but they do not slide around. The color works for general wear. I’ve been able to walk comfortably on trails and paved roads comfortably for much longer than with previous shoes.Will buy again.

Best non-maximal running shoe for my narrow feet!
I'm a full-foot running (heel to toe with a nice roll), and have narrow feet. Not so narrow that I need a specifically thinner shoe, but something on the narrow side of regular width. I can't wear built up shows like Hoka one-one's; they just don't work biomechanically (they lead to hip pain and I'm not interesting in changing my gait to accommodate them).I *love* this shoe. I've run many miles over many years and get frustrated nearly every year when a brand revises its designs. Brooks Ghost has been reliable for several models -- comfortable right out of the box, easy to accommodate my custom orthotics, quality laces that don't untie themselves, and a variety of colors from muted to ridiculously garish. Running or walking is comfortable, and the shoe is stable throughout the stride.I will be buying many of these shoes, and I recommend you try them! They're a little expensive, but not unreasonable compared to other top runners.

Super Comfortable and Stylish Lightweight Running Shoe
These running shoes are like running on a cloud. I ordered one size wider and they fit perfectly. I am a 3X guy so needed to have comfortable shoes as I started my C25K training. So far I love them. Also the colors and styles look great. I've only run on the treadmill so far and have had no slipping at all. Super lightweight shoes that are very comfortable. Came fully laced out of the box and all I needed to do was put them on and tie them. I've bought less expensive running shoes and personally I think it is worth paying a few extra dollars for these. If you want one less thing to worry about while running then these are the shoes for you, especially if you are a 14W size like me.

Comfortable - Lightweight but Small in Size
I was in search of a good, lightweight walking shoe and my research came up with the Brooks Ghost 16. They popped up multiple times in recommendations. My intent for the shoes is for a a European trip we're making this summer. We'll be doing a great deal of city walking in Barcelona as well as some hiking (Montserrat & Cinque Terre). I ordered the shoe in my normal size, 10 w/ a normal width. After receiving the shoes I slipped them on for my normal evening 2 mile walk. My toes were crammed in the tip and I contemplated just keeping them hoping they would 'stretch' after wearing them. Instead, common sense prevailed and I returned them. As soon as my refund was returned I ordered a 10 1/2. Rec'd them and they fit like a glove (almost). This was my first pair of "Brooks" so I wasn't familiar with size variations. I've never had a shoe or boot in a 10 1/2 in the past. So, recommendation #1, if you're considering purchasing these, order them in a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. The other issue is that the description boasts a "high arch", which I have. These are not 'high arches', just normal. I ordered a set of "Walk Hero" inserts and inserted them in the shoes and now they fit 100% Great. I could have downgraded my rating to 4-stars but I kept it at 5. These are a great, lightweight, super comfortable walking shoe. I especially love this color (coconut). I recommend these just be wary of the small size as advertised.

Little snug but comfy
Great shows. Run a little bit smaller than my other glycerin.

The Perfect Walking/Running Shoe
Incredible fit from the second I put them on my feet! I love how these surround the entire foot and give very good support with a light feel. Amazing for the heavy walking I do. I used to get really good running shoes about 10 years ago, different brands, then they started getting heavier and heavier, turning the technology backward. Finally! A return to the perfect shoe for walking and running. Brooks has really nailed this iteration. It may be the best shoe I've ever bought. The blue color is stylish and hip. I'm quite impressed with the look, fit and lightweight feel. Wonderful!!

Very comfortable
Very comfortable and durable shoe. Good support and nice appearance. Lower price than brands like HOKA, but great fit and comfort.

Brooks is the best shoe around
This is my 6th pair of various brooks shoes and every pair has been the most comfortable shoes I have worn. I bought these for work, black, and I can say they are perfect. They do slip a tiny bit, but nothing you can't deal with, other than that they work very well in a kitchen with oil and water on the floor. They look good and are great for walking 8 hours a day.
