Brooks doesn’t typically offer sales on its most popular running shoes, but occasionally, if you look at the right time, you might get lucky and score a deal. Recently, we’ve seen price drops for On and Merrell’s hiking shoes, which mark the start of a new training season. Now, it’s the popular Brooks Ghost 16 that's on sale, giving runners a deal they can’t miss.
Brooks Ghost 16 Running Shoes are on sale for $110 at Zappos right now, a rare 21% discount from the typical $140 price. These Brooks running shoes have earned a stellar reputation and a cult following, along with a 4-star rating after more than 650 reviews. They’re on sale in 16 colors in sizes 7 to 15, and some wide sizes are still available, too. When past Ghost models have gone on sale, we've seen them sell out lightning fast. If you’re looking for a size that Zappos doesn't have, it’s worth taking a peek over at Brooks, where more sizes should be available.

The Ghost is a classic Brooks model that offers some of the brand’s most comfortable footwear technology. Made for running and walking, it's beloved by novice runners as well as expert athletes. This Ghost sneaker offers a lighter-weight cushioning than its predecessor to help make the shoe feel more supportive and less bulky. Enhanced engineered air mesh uppers provide better stretch and breathability to ensure you have a secure and comfortable fit. Its soft midsole and Segmented Crash Pad allow users to easily transition between landing and take-off on different surfaces.
For those who have tried the Ghost 16, the upgrades in comfort and technology are evident. “This is my third pair of Ghosts,” explained one shopper. “The 16 is lighter and a bit springier than earlier models while maintaining the overall balance of the Ghost line.”

Even for those unfamiliar with the Ghost line, these shoes provide much-needed relief and support for the day. “My first Brooks shoes, and I must say, they’re a must-have for anyone on their feet for long hours,” stated another shopper. “Solid support, a cloud-like feel, and pure comfort with every step.”
Even as Brooks continues to expand and innovate its tech with a likely soon-to-come model 17, the Brooks Ghost 16 Running Shoe is a welcome addition for anyone looking for something comfortable. Since it’s not often that you see Brooks models on sale, you may need to hurry to grab a pair before they run out.
