Brooks Ghost 16 vs Hoka Bondi 8

Different brands — charts and lasts both matter. Ghost 16 is labeled True to Size (True to size). Bondi 8 is True to Size (True to size; half up only for thick socks/extra toe room).

Ghost is Brooks’ high-volume neutral daily trainer and typically fits true to size. Use Brooks width options if you need them. A thumb’s width of toe room is the usual running fit check.

Bondi 8 is typically true to size per specialty running retailers. Some runners go half up for sock thickness or long-run swell — prefer Hoka’s wide widths over automatic length upsizing if width is the issue.

Use the table below as a starting point from fit offsets — then confirm with try-on or returns. Width can matter more than length between these two.
