Running shoes Brooks GHOST 16

The Brooks Ghost 16 is a neutral daily trainer designed for road running and all-day wear. It suits heel strikers and runners seeking a durable, reliable shoe for easy runs, long distance training, and recovery. The high 12mm drop provides relief for runners with Achilles issues, though it may feel imposing for midfoot strikers. Best used at easy to moderate paces rather than fast efforts.

The midsole features DNA Loft v3 foam, a nitrogen-injected cushioning system that delivers moderate, balanced cushioning with improved energy return compared to previous versions. The shoe offers neutral support with mild stability from reinforced sidewalls and a stiff heel counter. The engineered mesh upper provides moderate breathability with reflective elements. The RoadTack rubber outsole includes a segmented crash pad for smooth transitions and offers solid traction on wet and dry pavement with good durability.

Weight is 278g in EU 42.5. Stack height measures 35.5mm heel and 23.5mm forefoot. The drop is 12mm.
