The Brooks Men’s Ghost 16 Neutral Running Shoe continues the legacy of one of the most trusted daily trainers in running. Designed for neutral runners who demand a perfect balance of cushioning, responsiveness, and durability, the Ghost 16 introduces subtle refinements that enhance comfort and performance.
Key Features and Upgrades
1. DNA LOFT v3 Cushioning for a Softer Ride
The latest iteration features DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an even smoother, more plush feel underfoot while maintaining responsiveness. This makes the Ghost 16 ideal for long-distance runners and daily trainers who prioritize comfort.
2. Improved Segmented Crash Pad for Smoother Transitions
Brooks has refined the segmented crash pad to better absorb impact and promote a natural heel-to-toe transition. This reduces joint strain, making the shoe suitable for high-mileage runners.
3. Engineered Air Mesh Upper for Enhanced Breathability
The 3D Fit Print upper offers a secure, adaptive fit without unnecessary bulk. The improved airflow keeps feet cool, even during extended runs.
4. Reliable Outsole with Durable Rubber Traction
The high-abrasion rubber outsole ensures excellent grip on roads and treadmills while maintaining flexibility for a natural stride.
5. Lightweight Yet Supportive Construction
Weighing just 9.7 oz (size 9), the Ghost 16 strikes a perfect balance between cushioning and agility, making it versatile for both easy runs and tempo efforts.
Who Should Buy the Brooks Ghost 16?
- Neutral runners seeking a well-cushioned, reliable daily trainer
- Long-distance runners who need all-day comfort
- Those transitioning from stability shoes but still wanting moderate support
