Initially I thought they were very comfortable and soft. 2-3 weeks later they were killing my feet. My heel strikes the ground first and that's exactly where I was getting the pain, the outside bottom part of my foot. I've heard good things about them so I'm sure I just didn't pick a good match for me

I love the ghost line and have sworn by them for years but this shoe is horrible. There's something wrong with the toe area and my feet and legs are tired very soon.
I will buy another pair but I will probably switch to adrenaline.

I really don't like these. I got them because they were an overall best pick. The space between the top of the foot and the shoe is way too big and they are not soft at all.

I have have been wearing ghost for years and the 15 was the first one I did not like and hurt my foot. The toe box isn't as wide and the lining/footbed seems slippery and different. my feet instantly started to hurt minutes after walking which I never experienced with the others. I am so disappointed because I have a hard time finding sneakers that work for my feet. I had to send these back. I just hope the next versions go back to the original fit.

I've been a ghost buyer for 5 years, 2 pairs a year, I am not sure what happened, but they aren't comfortable anymore. I allowed for a break-in period and it never happened. I will look for another product next time. Jim

I was very disappointed in these shoes . I loved the color , the fit , and the service was fast . But to me they were hard as a rock I did not feel any cushion in them .

The Ghost 15 redisign is pretty awful. I was having knee and lower back pain for several weeks and could not figure out what was going on. I ended up switching back to the Ghost 14 and within 4-5 days things were back to normal. This shoe may work for some but was definitely not the shoe for me. I will need to try finding a new running shoe which is sad considering I have been a Ghost fan for a lot of years.

I had ghosts 14 and loved them. These ghosts15 hurt my feet and legs so bad. I gave them a good few weeks and I just can't wear. The pain is too bad. Why did they have to go and change?

I have had three pair of Brooks ghost 14 and loved them. Now I couldn't find those and had to get the ghost 15.
I genuinely, absolutely hate them. They make my feet mostly and legs hurt like nothing I have ever experienced. I have tried three separate times, days apart with the same result. Would love a refund after spending that much on shoes I cannot wear.

Never owned a pair of Brooks and bought then after multiple people raved about them. I'm returning my pair. I have a natural tendency for an exaggerated heel strike and these shoes amplified it significantly. I also had to tie them tighter than normal for them to "fit" correctly. Shoes size was perfect but overall fit was awful. I will not be buying another pair in the future.

Couldn’t wait for these to come in, only to get what looked like a whole size bigger. In shoe said 8.5, fix like a 9.5. Was so disappointed.

I was sent a worn pair of shoes. I spent 15 minutes in chat with a customer service agent that told me it was a mistake and I can return it. (Which I knew before I started the chat..) So much for the Zappos experience....

Calf pain with these, hope this goes away or these will be a waste of $$$$. I do plenty of stretching before I run in this. These are the only shoes that bother my calves ?

They fit wide and have very little arch support compared to the Ghost 14. They also seemed to wear down faster.
I was very disappointed with them after having loved my 14s.

This is probably my 10th pair of Brooks Ghost shoes (first Ghost 15). I have loved and promoted Brooks over the years - the fit, style, support, and quality. I'm not sure what happened here, seems like either cheaper materials or maybe they changed manufacturing standards, but this has by far been the most disappointing pair of Brooks Ghost shoes that I have purchased. I had to send the first pair back because after about 3 days the inside of the back of the shoe bent and rubbed into the rear of my foot, and the front bottom of the shoe started making a clicking noise with every step I took. This second pair has been fine except about 4 weeks into owning them, the rubber bottom of the sole has worn down and the treads are almost slick. I walk a lot, but I've had Brooks to last 6-8 months before this happened. Not what you should expect for a $150+ pair of shoes!

Had to return. I overpronate, flat feet, collapsing arches, and plantar Fasciitis. So just not comfortable enough.

I love the brand. I always wear Ghost or Adrenaline. I have Ghost14 which are amazing!!! Something happened with the 15 though. They are horribly uncomfortable, right or of the box. I will be returning and sticking with adrenaline unless they bring back the ghost 14. The only plus about this version, the laces actually stay tied

These shoes don't have enough arch support and hurt my feet. The Launch 9 have better arch support.

Very disappointed. I have bought Ghost 14 every 3 months for several years due to plantar fasciitis and loved that shoe. Ghost 15 is awful. Not built the same. Less support and actually painful in toe area and outer heal. Unable to find the 14s so will be finding another brand.

I had to return mine, they made these shoes longer than normal and it was killing my feet! I tried the 90 day thing and it still just would not work with my feet.
I'm a ghost lover to and have been running in them since ghost 7. I very much miss the older styles..I thought the lighter cushion as well did not cut it. I don't know what to buy now..

I have 8 pair of the Ghost 15. They were my favorite. DO NOT BUY A NEW PAIR OF THESE IF YOU NEED TO LACE THEM UP! The new shoestring on my last 2 pair in the past 2 months are so short that they are unusable. SHAME ON YOU BROOKS. WaaY too short. Ridiculous!

The worst pair of Ghost that I have bought in over seven years. The fit is off from previous pairs. They are just uncomfortable to wear and I am looking for different shoes to replace Brooks.
