I love my Ghost 16s
You only run races in these? I got some don’t wear them often only if I wanna get a PR or something. Brooks ghost 16 are my daily shoes.
I can only say something about Ghost 16 which I use for walking/work. Did one run in them and I think they are a good allrounder but a bit more neutral than stable. If you also fancy a pretty natural feeling shoe that can go a bit quicker as well, the Hyperion 3 are pretty nice in my opinion. I have the Hyperion 2 GTS and version 3 doesn't come anymore as GTS version but it is quite stable that's why they didn't feel the need to make a dedicated GTS. I never had any durability issues so far with Brooks.
Brooks ghost 16. The ghost 14 were my first proper running shoe, went to the 15 loved those as well, now have about 340M on the 16 and they have been my favorite and still are in the lineup as my recovery run shoe. 17s are out and the prices on 16s have dropped significantly. Reason for choice is simply because it is an easy all around stable shoe. I have ran 5K to half marathons in them as well as survived a week at Univeral without issue. Whatever choice you make, I'd suggest finding somewhere that has the shoes you want and take a lap around the store in them.

I wore Brooks Ghost 16 for a while but I started getting bad heel pain on the bottom of my feet from lack of stability (I believe). I now have Hoka Arahi 7’s. They’re decent. They don’t cause me foot pain, but I wish they were a little less firm. They’re supportive, but I feel like they’re lacking plushness in the sole that makes them comfy. Should I try the Arahi 8? I hear they’re more plush than the 7. Or should I try the Saucony Hurricane or ASICS Gel Kayano 32? Unfortunately, going to a shore stores to try these all out won’t be an option because I’m a Women’s size 12 and that’s a rare size. So I’m planning on buying online. For reference: I have a narrow foot. Arahi 7 in regular is the perfect width. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Ghost 16 is so much better than Ghost 17 anyways, and I'll die on that hill.
