Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 15

I wanted to love these shoes, but the fit is so different from the Ghost 14 I developed severe heel pain. They felt great at first but I had to switch back to my old shoes to relieve the pain. Now I have 4 new pairs of Ghost 15 shoes, 2 in a size 12 and 2 more in a 12 wide which I can't wear. I wish I could find comfortable shoes.

So far I don't love although they look very cute. The toe box is longer and narrower which isn't uncomfortable but it's changed the landing of my foot. It feels less supportive than the 14s I have (although I had a second pair of those that were also less supportive which I returned). My heels slide around a little more too. Not sure if I'll be keeping them or sending back and giving up on Ghost. I may keep them but wouldn't buy again. I use these for walking and need support for plantar fasciitis.

Not as comfortable as the Ghost 14. The midsole in these seem to be a problem, they just don't provide adequate cushion on longer runs. I like the 14 a lot, but the 15 are not quite as good.

Toes start to hurt after a few hours. I am on my feet for 8 hours or more at work.

Ghost 15 wide width shoe looks great but is too narrow for my wide foot. I need to return it.

Unhappy with the fit. Totally different from my first Brook Ghost 13. Unable to do my daily 2 miles walk. Heel fit uncomfortable. Not as wide from my first pair. Can they still be returned?

The arch support doesn't hit me in th right place. If kind of hurts.

Laces are way too short, especially if you "heel lock" your shoes. Even if you don't there's barely enough lacing to double knot the shoes. I love Ghosts and will continue to run in them, but the recent cost-saving measures have been really annoying.

For some reason, these shoes do not fit as comfortably as my others. I can't figure out what the problem is. I buy Brooks all the time, same size, etc. and this is the first time a pair of Brooks are not very comfortable. Note: please bring back those tye dye shoes! Those were the best!

I really like the look, but it's not as comfortable as the Ghost 13.

Comfortable but no where near as Glycerin . Probably won't buy Ghost again.

I love the comfort of the shoe but it should not be fraying this way. Very disappointing.

Decent cushioning but I don't like the new design of the tongue. I like the Ghost 14 better. As a long time ghost wearer, I may try another model.

This is my second pair, but they don't last long and hold up. Already falling apart and only had a few months. I prefer the levitate

The Ghost 15 is comfortable however more roomy in the heel and toe box than the Ghost 14. This shoe fits more like the Glycerine and for those of us with more narrow feet Brooks keeps making their shoes too roomy. Very cushy and supportive but too wide throughout the entire shoe compared to the Ghost 14. If you continue with the new sizing please offer narrow for customers with narrow feet.

Still a great running shoe that mimics the Ghost 14! No "breaking in" necessary! Plenty of cushion and lightweight. But the Wide size is still narrower than the Ghost 13 (Ghost 14 and 15 are narrower), so my first toe joints will hang over the inner boundaries of the shoe. Also the "ribbon" style shoelace is more difficult to tie and untie, and I found that it unties itself during running more often than the rounder shoelace like Ghost 13 had.

The shoes are very nice looking and I love the sole. I use an orthopedic insert and it fits well. The shoes are wider and roomier than my Ghost 13. The heel is not as snug fitting as the Ghost 13. I think the Ghost 13 fit a bit better and were a little narrower. The Ghost 15 is cushioned better but with a more sloppy fit.

I purchased the St. Patrick's themed Ghost 15. To preface, I've worn Ghost 13s (which I liked), Ghost 14s (not so much), and Hyperion Tempos (amazing). I thought I'd give the 15s a go and found them a bit clunky and less nimble than the Tempos. I'll still run with the 15sbut, when I really want fly I'll strap on my Tempos.

Why must companies change what isn't broken? I've worn a7.5 in the Ghost line of shoes for years, but now they fit differently and don't feel as good on my runs. My old 13s feel more comfortable. Although I am a fan of a big toebox, the new ghost 15 has a longer toebox in the 13 and does not fit the same. I also noticed sore calves after running, which I haven't experienced before. I'm going to give them a couple more runs before I return them. Hopefully I'll get used to them.

Overall, I do not like the feel of these new Ghost shoes. I have owned about 12 variations of Brooks and I feel these have been near the worst. Very narrow in the arch area. I still prefer my older Ghost 14s or the launch 9s. I bought the St. Patricks day variation, just like last year and expected them to be ready out of the box and I was disappointed after the first run. My regular 5-6 days a week run is between 3 to 5 miles.

I really wanted to love them more but unfortunately they're just ok for me.

I usually wear Hokas and decided to try out Brooks! When I first put these on, they were the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. The arch support inside is very tight on my foot and I could stand to even walk in them. Nevertheless, I attempted to "Break them in" and I'm glad I did without immediately sending them back. After about two weeks, they started to feel better for walking and running errands. I am a distance runner however. Averaging 20-30 miles per week with my longs runs being 10-13 miles per week. I would not recommend these for longs runs. These are okay for walking and errands and maybe speed work.. but not long runs. I'll keep them for walking.

Ghost 15 is not as supportive or comfortable as the 14's I have! Need round shoe strings like the GTS!

They run large! I would recommend buying in a brick & mortar, the shoe is insanely comfortable, but way too big.
