Always a great shoe I wear a 4e but Brooks (refuses) to make 4e available in (more colors) !! you have white and you have black and that is it I've been wearing black shoes for years!

NoteI compared my new Ghost 15 to a old pair of Ghost 11 (car washing shoes now) and found the 11's are just as wide as my new 15's! I needed a wide due to a foot issue, but disappointed to see the change in the width within the same style. Please explain! Thank You!!!

The shoes are a little snug around the middle. Otherwise they are a good pair of shoes. Will probably buy them again in the future. Maybe I should have ordered a little bit wider shoes.

Would have preferred that you not narrow the toe box. Happened a couple of versions ago. It does not appear that you have a comparable shoe with a comparably wide toe box?
I increased my shoe by a full size to compensate. Brooks makes great shoes.

The shoes were generally comfortable, but the toe box is average. I googled running shoes with wide toe boxes, and this shoe came up. However, the toe box is not wide and hurts my big toes. I'll be returning the shoes.

I have owned 5 pairs of ghost shoes. The ghost 15 are good shoes with a quality build. I like the ghost 12s the best out of them all. These new ghost 15s seem like the arch support is not as good. I am having some problems with my ankles tilting to the inside. And that is causing some fatigue on them. I have tried some arch supports in them but the problem is the sole of the shoe is soft under the arch of my foot. Other than that it is a good shoe

I like the ghost shoes but have noticed the tread tends to peel off starting at the outer edges. Need better glue or a different design. Would also be nice to have more color choices with black soles. The white starts looking terrible after a couple runs.

As a long-time Ghost runner (except for the 14...), I was happy to see the 15s released a few weeks ago! The fit is a good one for me. A request: has any thought been given to incorporating some brighter, more vibrant colors? Would love to see this!

Feel a little more narrow than the 14s. I might return them.

At this point the Ghost 15 is a noticeable upgrade from my Ghost 14's. More comfort with the firmness needed for the mileage I do. Anything under 10 miles they are wonderful. Over that I need my ankle brace (left foot), but I am in suburban Florida and suffering with concrete..EVERYWHERE as the surface I am on.

It's ok. I'm in the camp of folks that think the 12 was the best version of Ghost. It was supremely comfortable, held together for many miles, and looked awesome. The 15 has more room than the top narrow 13 and 14, so that's great. But even with the DNA padding, it doesn't feel super cushioned like the 12. And the color patterns arenot thrilling. All in all, I'm happy enough with it, but if the Brooks team can revisit what made the 12 so amazing, and implement it in the 16, I think we'd all be very appreciative.

Seems like there's extra room in the toe box compared to my Ghost 13s. Not sure if my mild running injuries were caused by running my Ghost 13s into the ground, this shoes poor fit for my foot or running too many miles with a new shoe, but it's worth noting that my Achilles was fairly sore during and after long runs with this shoe.

My opinion only: I think this is a gear addition to the ghost line. This is a massive improvement of the 14. Very comfortable and supportive. I am not a person who likes bizarre and loud color shoes so I love the gray color.

The Ghost 15 running shoe has the design and comfort to meet the needs of all types of runners. I primarily used these shoes for treadmill running but also used them on local sidewalks and trails. The Ghost 15 provides a comfort and cushion while running, taking the pain out of my knees and shin splints. These shoes could easily be used for everyday use, especially if you have a job where you are on your feet for hours on end. I would avoid using these shoes in the weight training environment. The large sole does not provide stability while training. I would continue to use these shoes for running, walking, and days where I will be on my feet for extended periods of time.(amusement parks and trips to zoo) I would recommend these shoes to anyone who is looking for a lightweight comfortable walking/running shoe.

These shoes are everything you would expect from a top quality brand. This isn't my first pair of shoes from this brand and based off the performance it won't be my last.
Overall very good arch support even w/ the standard insoles. I have knee issues and some shoes can aggravate symptoms but with these I didn't have any issues w/ knee pain or a lack of arch support.
They are true to size, and fit very well. I have wider feet and sometimes need wide shoes but the standard size fits well with no issues in terms of being overly tight or cramped. They look good, easy to wear with most casual outfits. They provide great support during everyday usage & for exercise. I've used them frequently on the elliptical, for weight training, and a few time when walking the golf course. They held up well throughout all activities, as well as heavy usage in the everyday life of a dad with 2 young, energetic kids. Having had them for about 3 weeks now; they still appear very new, although the white soles aren't my personal preference and do require frequent cleaning after outdoors use. No issue w/ unusual wear patterns, no tearing fabric, no issues where the cushioning has bunched up (a huge pet peeve of mine), no problems with deterioration of the sole.

Got rid of that cruddy sock liner (inner liner) from ghost 13/14 that tore within weeks, so that is nice. But still no tongue gusset, or could've at least put that loop on the tongue like the ghost 12 had so the tongue stays in place and doesn't shift to the side of your foot.. You fixed the liner, awesome! But a simple loop on the tongue (or gusset) and this shoe would've been home run.

Much longer than the Ghost 14 I wear so often, in so many colors. I recommend ordering at least 1/2 size down from whatever size you wear in the prior Ghost versions.

I had a pair of Ghost 15's for the past year and loved them. The pair that you recently sent me does not seem to fit the same, even though it is the same size and width (I checked to make sure), plus the shoes squeak with every step. I am not as happy with this pair as I was with the first pair.

I think the shoes would have fit better in my actual size. And, because the website encourages upsizing half your size, I did that and those shoes were just too big. Uncomfortable for my feet. I say order your size because going up half size doesn't work for everybody.

I have run in Ghosts for years. The shoes are supportive, yet comfortable and breathable.
My only issue with this pair is a small tear of the outer fabric that has developed (shoes about 3 weeks old) just above the medial arch/under the brooks logo. It has developed at the same level as my power step inserts touch at the inside of the shoe. I have used power step inserts for years in the ghost shoe and have never seen this develop previously. Otherwise, excellent running shoe
