I saved $80 on Brooks Ghost 16 Wide shoes by ordering from the US to Singapore

Why I chose the Brooks Ghost 16 Wide from the US

I have always struggled to find the right running shoes in Singapore. Most local retailers carry standard widths, but my feet require the 2E or 4E options. When the Brooks Ghost 16 launched in early 2026, I noticed that the specialized wide and extra-wide versions, along with specific colorways, were almost impossible to find locally. I checked the latest us trends and saw that the US market has an abundance of these specific fitments.

More about shipping to Singapore

The Brooks Ghost 16 is a reliable daily trainer, but if the fit isn't perfect, the performance suffers. In the US, I can select from the full range of widths that simply don't make it to our shores. I decided it was time to shop us store sites directly to get exactly what I needed.

The price difference between the US and Singapore

I did the math before hitting the buy button. In Singapore, a pair of high-end Brooks trainers can easily retail for over $260 SGD. By looking at US retailers, I found the Brooks Ghost 16 for approximately $140 USD. Even with the exchange rate in February 2026, the base price is significantly lower. I used a shipping calculator to see if the international delivery would eat up my savings. Even after adding shipping, I was still saving roughly $80 SGD compared to local prices.

How I used the BuyForMe service for restricted stores

I encountered a common problem when trying to checkout at a major US sporting goods store. Many US retailers, including brands like Nike or specialized running shops, often block international credit cards. My order was initially declined because my billing address wasn't in the US. Some stores also flag and cancel orders if they see they are being sent to a known freight forwarder.

I solved this by using the BuyForMe service. This is an assisted purchase feature where comGateway buys the items on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. We found that this is the safest way to guarantee an order doesn't get cancelled by strict US merchants. It removed the headache of my card being rejected and ensured my Ghost 16s were secured immediately. If you are unsure how it works, you can check the FAQ for a step-by-step breakdown.

Using a freight forwarder for Singapore delivery

Once the BuyForMe service team completed my purchase, the shoes were sent to my tax-free us address in Oregon. This is a huge benefit because it eliminates US sales tax, which can be as high as 10% in other states. I received a notification when the package arrived at the warehouse.

I chose comGateway because they specialize in Singapore delivery. I had the option to consolidate my shoes with a few other items I bought to further reduce the weight-based shipping fees. The process was straightforward, and I could track the package from the US all the way to my doorstep in Singapore.

Managing shipping costs and taxes

I always recommend checking the current GST rules for Singapore in 2026. Since my total order value was under the typical threshold for high-value imports, the process was seamless. I managed to get my Brooks Ghost 16 Wide shoes in a colorway that isn't even available in local malls, and I paid much less for the privilege. If you want to buy from US ship to Singapore, focusing on items with a large price gap like professional running shoes is the most efficient strategy.

I am very satisfied with the result. My feet finally have the room they need, and my wallet is heavier for it. If you have more questions about the logistics, the support center has all the answers regarding international shipping limits.
