A Dependable Daily Trainer with a Waterproof GORE-TEX® Upper
Sure as the sun rises and sets, you can bet the Brooks Ghost will be back each year just as reliable as the one before. The latest waterproof iteration, the Brooks Ghost 16 GTX, brings some changes we haven’t seen in some time with this model. The most obvious changes include the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 midsole foam and an enhanced GORE-TEX® upper.
Brooks has maintained a safe approach to midsole technology, consistently delivering a comfortable underfoot experience. The Ghost 16 GTX midsole foam sees a shakeup for the first time in several generations and is now made with nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3. This updated foam is lighter than its predecessors and helps balance softness and responsiveness very well.
The Brooks Ghost 16 GTX also sees a change to the upper, now using an engineered air mesh to balance stretchy comfort and secure structure. This upper has also been treated with waterproof GORE-TEX® fabric, giving this trainer another layer of protection for whatever the weather has in store.
A reliable daily trainer has many features but one that always comes to mind is longevity. The Ghost 16 GTX meets this criteria with the help of the lightweight, RoadTack rubber outsole, made with recycled silica. This outsole increases the shoe’s durability, allowing you to log more miles in your shoes before retiring them.
To make a great shoe even better, the Brooks Ghost 16 GTX touts a carbon-neutral certification. What this means is Brooks increased the use of recycled content to lower their carbon emissions, then supported carbon offsetting projects to neutralize emissions.

Comfy, roomy
Super comfy. Truly waterproof - i wear them at work where I often get water on my feet or stand in puddles. Maybe sized a bit small as I had to size up by half.

Just what I was looking for. .
The Ghost 16 GTX fit my foot like a glove. It was amazing how great they felt as soon as I put them on. I was trying to find a shoe for our upcoming travels to Europe that was waterproof, would be comfortable for walking, but that I could also do light workouts in. These fit the bill perfectly! They aren't the most stylish shoe but I will take comfort over style especially when traveling. People said to size up. They didn't have 9's in stock so I went with my usual 8.5 and while they are snug they fit perfect. Marathon Sports were great. They had an easy website, the shoes were on sale, and the shipping was fast.
