4 quotesDirect organic buyer opinions about Brooks Ghost 16, filtered for spam and ads.
Outsole: Super durable. Good grip on concrete and decent grip when wet.
The midsole is softer with the DNA Loft v3 foam. I prefer the upper and heel of the 15, but the midsole is much better.
A firm, yet comfy and very energetic exercise shoe. I can best describe it as getting a lot of feedback and contact from the ground...
There is no ankle support. ghost 16 actually caused my previous healing injury to become plantar fasciitis.
