The fit is great, and I have trouble finding shoes that have a narrow enough heel. The color is significantly lighter than shown on the website though, which is a bit disappointing. They arrived quickly, which was great, but I was not aware that they would arrive via Amazon. The Amazon box came as a surprise.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis, and was search for a road running shoe that would help with my pain. After doing a bit of research, I learned that I needed a 10-12 mm drop. There aren't too many running shoes out there that offer a 12 mm, but Brooks/Ghost does, so I ordered a pair. So far, so good. The shoe seems durable enough. Could be a tad lighter, but most importantly, for me, I'm not experiencing as much pain later in the night when I take my shoes off.

I have been wearing Ghosts for a few years and find them to be a great shoe in my rotation.I also have a pair of Adrenlines and a pair of Glycerins for my long walks but my go to is the Ghost.

They seem to be ok. I have plantar fasciitis and at least it hasn't gotten worse with the new sneaker. I just wish the price was better. I see now they are 20$ cheaper than when I purchased. Affordability is the issue when you should replace every 6 mo.

I kept to the Ghost 15 due to the Ghost 16 having a new drop...training for a marathon and did not want to have any type of injury.
Typically with a new drop you need to go slowly with the new shoe or you will get an injury

Excellent shoe that I use for daily walking, but Brooks really needs to expand the color selection for 4E sizes. Two choices (black or gray) really doesn't do much for me.

I love how comfortable the Ghost shoes are, but they're probably the clunkiest and most klutzy (and to me, ugliest) shoes I have. Also, I love that they come in Narrow widths, but regret that these Narrows don't seem to come in colors lighter than black or navy. I'd be really happy if, besides making the Ghost more streamlined and attractive, Brooks would make Narrow shoes in a wider variety of colors and styles.

So disappointed in Ghost 15
I had high hopes for this show.
It lacks both heel and arch support big time and it's so wide in the toe box. Returned

So far these seem to be pretty good. I like a wide toe box, though I don't have a wide foot, and these have the room that I like. They're very comfortable, good padding in the heel and sole. Since I have sensitive feet, I still need to break them in before I can see if they'll work long term. I've never had thick soles before, and these aren't as extreme as Hokas, but they're still pretty thick. They only thing I would say - and this seems to be true of most shoe manufacturers - is that they don't really adjust the shape of the shoe for larger sizes. I wear 10.5, and the shoe is long enough, but it could be higher, giving more room in the instep and especially above the toes. My big toe his the top when I walk, but I think that will happen less as the soles squish down.

Wish they were water resistant. But they are comfortable and good for walking.

I am still breaking into these shoes. However, I can feel the cushioning effect.

The support feels "softer" and my steps have more of a squish feeling. I also bought adrenaline 23s at the same time. The adrenalines aren't quite as soft, but they seem to support better than the ghosts. I am happy the ghosts were on sale, otherwise I'd be more bummed out. These shoes are COMFY, but they aren't going to last quite as long.

I really wanted to love these shoes for everything I do but. Let me tell you about the things I love: Fit right out of the box, the WIDE toe box is AMAZING! I can stand at work all day and not have a sore back or feet. Now for the one thing I am sad about: Living in Oregon, we get rain and these shoes are fairly slippery even on flat surfaces, I was hoping to (flat) trail run in these, but I can hardly go to my mailbox down my driveway after (or during) rain and I slip on my concrete drive. If Brooks could combine this AMAZING WIDE TOE BOX with a Super-grippy tread (I have a pair of trail runners from Salomon I adore but the toe box is too narrow) I'd be 100% a BROOKS customer!

These are my first pair of Brooks. I tried them on in the store and felt the bounce and fell in love. I bought them to take on an overseas trip with lots of walking. I ordered a men's size so that I could get a larger width since wide isn't an option in the color I choose. I also took the advice of other reviewers and ordered a half size larger and they fit great.

These shoes are very comfortable for everyday, normal wear. However, when I use them for short 3-4 mile street walking, my feet feel stressed and tired.
I also got a blister from them, but assume this is due to the way they fit around my ankles (I have fat ankles)
but again, I love the way they look and feel for everyday wear, so I will keep them and see how they feel in a few more weeks.

I bought these after having Brooks Glycerin 20s, which I give 5 stars to. The Ghosts are a great shoe with the same sock like fit as the Glycerin 20s and wides are actual a true wide. However, I give them 4 stars because they just aren’t quite as comfortable my G 20s are. I still think they are a great show and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an all round everyday runner.

It's a supportive running shoe. I'm not that wild about the color, but it was the only color available in my size at the time of purchase.
