Brooks Ghost 16 vs. Creative Stride Tech: Neutral Cushioning Tested for Running
We've laced up and raced across the pavement to compare the Brooks Women's Ghost 16 Neutral Running Shoe with the Creative Stride Tech, two contenders in the neutral cushioning category. The Ghost 16 delivers a plush, cloud-like ride with its DNA Loft cushioning, offering a soft yet responsive feel that adapts to our every stride. Its sleek design and balanced support make it ideal for our casual runs and longer distances. On the other hand, Creative Stride Tech brings a bolder, more dynamic approach-lighter weight and a punchier rebound, perfect for those who crave energy underfoot. While both shoes excel in comfort, the Ghost 16's focus on stability and all-day wear feels more versatile for our varied routines. We'll leave the verdict to your mileage, but for now, we're leaning toward the Ghost 16 as a dependable, go-to neutral shoe that's equal parts elegant and effective.
