Happy Friday and Happy August! A few months ago, I asked around for everyone's favorite walking shoe, and a lot of people answered Brooks. I perused their website and decided on a pair of Ghost 16 running shoe. It was actually quite hard for me to find a pair that I liked. Brooks colors and designs are not really my style, but I finally found a pair that was passable.
For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds and across many other brands.

The color reminds me of a peachy pink. It's a neutral color and actually goes with a lot of my summer outfits. The magenta accent color draws the eye in for a closer look. There's very little branding on the shoe, just small lettering on the side.
The shoes have a mesh upper for ventilation. There's a nice amount of padding around the tongue and shoe opening. The laces are soft and they do not come undone which is great.
Brooks Ghost 16 Running Shoe Size 5.5
I've worn these for about two weeks now and they're a very neutral shoe. Not a lot of cushion at all, I would say these have very minimal cushion. I purchased these in my normal shoe size and they are true to size. The toe box is wide, which makes it comfortable to walk in. That said, they're not very responsive. It's a very boring kind of shoe. 😆 Especially comparing it to Beyondfeel Running shoe and On Cloudmonster Void. Now those are fun shoes. Very cushiony and bouncy.
I would say these are fine for long walks, but I would not like these for running at all. I bought these on sale for $99 and I'll wear them, but they are quite boring if I'm being honest!
I am curious what others think about Brooks and Ghost 16 if you have tried them. That's all for today! Hope you have a fantastic weekend! Enjoy the last month of summer. It's going to go by quick!
