I couldn't find Brooks Ghost 16 wide-widths in Singapore so I bought them from the US

Why I chose the Brooks Ghost 16 from the US

I have been tracking the release of the Brooks Ghost 16 since it hit the US market in early 2026. For my daily runs, I need a neutral shoe that provides consistent cushioning, and this model has significantly improved the midsole foam compared to its predecessor. However, I noticed a recurring problem: the stock available in local Singapore retail stores is often limited to standard widths and basic colors.

More about shipping to Singapore

I specifically required the 'Extra Wide' (4E) variant and a specific limited-edition colorway that simply isn't stocked here. By deciding to shop US store options directly, I gained access to the full inventory that Brooks offers to its domestic market. Using a tax-free US address allowed me to browse retailers like Zappos and the official Brooks site without worrying about regional stock shortages.

The inventory barrier in Singapore

The main obstacle I faced was the 'Hidden Barrier' of regional distribution. Most brands prioritize their home markets for niche sizing. If you have feet that are slightly wider or narrower than the average, you are often left out of the local Singapore selection. In my experience, the US market is the only place where the Brooks Ghost 16 is available in every width from Narrow to Extra Wide.

To get these shoes home, I needed a reliable international shipping service. Since these retailers do not ship directly to Singapore, I used my comGateway account to provide a US-based shipping destination before forwarding the package to my house.

How I used BuyForMe to bypass payment blocks

One major issue I encountered while trying to purchase from certain US retailers was my payment being declined. Many top-tier US stores, including some that stock premium running gear, often block international credit cards or orders that use a known forwarder's address. They prefer domestic payment methods to prevent fraud or maintain regional pricing.

I solved this by using the BuyForMe service. This is an assisted purchase solution where I simply sent the link of the Brooks Ghost 16 I wanted to the team. They used a US-issued credit card to buy the shoes on my behalf. This is easily the safest way to guarantee that your order doesn't get cancelled by the store's automated security filters. If you are unsure about how this works, you can check the FAQ or help center for more details on the assisted purchase process.

Shipping estimates for Brooks Ghost 16 to Singapore

When I planned my purchase, I used the shipping calculator to get a clear idea of the total landed cost. Here is the data I used for the Brooks Ghost 16 box:

I found that shipping a single pair of shoes is relatively affordable, but the real savings come when you consolidate multiple items. Regardless, getting the exact fit I needed made the international shipping cost worth it.

GST and Singapore delivery details

For my Singapore delivery, I had to account for the current 2026 tax regulations. It is important to remember that GST is applicable on all goods imported into Singapore. I made sure to factor this 9% tax into my budget so there were no surprises when the package reached customs.

When you buy from US ship to Singapore, the process is streamlined if you provide the correct invoices for customs clearance. My shoes arrived within 6 business days after reaching the US warehouse. If you need help with the documentation, the support team is very responsive. I highly recommend this route if you are tired of the limited shoe selections in local malls.
