Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 15

Feels too awkward and definitely not for pronating feet. Also the light purple in the picture came in as a dark purple. The color is misleading. Sent back due to color discrepancy.

I will preface by saying I've been wearing ghosts for at least 10 years (half marathon to marathon runner). I started noticing a few changes on the last model where they got very stiff. This model is quite possibly the most uncomfortable version I've ever worn. They feel bulky and the color choices are horrible. I could not wait to take them off after a 3 mile run. Ghosts are notorious for being comfortable right out of the box, no break in period Required. These gave me hot spots and felt very stiff and uncomfortable. There is something lateral on the shoe making it feel like there is stability added in. Very disappointing especially since I've been wearing them for so long. I would like to see more reviews from seasoned runners and ghost wearers, so they can see the difference in the quality and comfort of the shoe.

In past years I think I've purchased 3 or 4 Ghost 14's, and with everyone, as soon as I wore them for the first time, my left knee pain went away. I walk daily, and after about 3-4 months, I would begin to feel left knee pain. I also really appreciated that this shoe was offered in a 4E width, which is difficult to find in walking shoes. So, after I started to develop left knee pain, I went to order the Ghost 14, and found that it was not available in a 4E in any color, so I ordered a Ghost 15. I did not experience the left knee pain disappear on day 1 or any day since then. So, while they may be an ok pair of walking shoes, they are no long the 5 star shoes that I used to wear.

These are awful, and I'm a huge Brooks Ghost fan. Have worn them exclusively for 9 years. I guess I'll have to try another brand, so disappointing. Uncomfortable in toe box, doesn't feel as "cushy" as they normally do. *Run 35-50 miles per week.

Purchased 2 pair of Brooks Ghost 15. The black ones size8.5 Wide is too narrow in the toe box. I have been wearing Brooks for many year because they have a wider toe box than most running shoes. With each "new design" the toe box continues to gets more and more narrow. Feet do not come to a narrow point, I do not understand why the ties box needs to be more narrow. The blue Ghost 15 is perfectly fine. I will e returning the black ones.

Do not fit as comfortable as the ghost 14. I returned them for credit.

I've bought three pairs of Brooks ghost running shoes and they all have developed holes in the fabric where my pinky toe is on both shoes. I sent in pictures to see if they had a warranty and was told that I bought shoes that weren't wide enough. I've bought 3 pairs of brooks shoes; ghost 12, 13, and 14. I'm pretty sure I know what size of shoe I wear. If three pairs of shoes have all done the same thing I don't honk it's an issue with my feet I think it's a quality issue with the shoes. It's not like I wear them everyday all day either. I bought the last pair for nursing school and they barely lasted a year and that was with me eating them to clinicals 2 days a week for 12 hours at a time. I wore them for a total of 360 hours that's three semesters and doing 120 hours of clinicals each semester. I already left a review but apparently Brooks won't let me leave a bad review. It was never posted and they said they would get back to me after investigating further. Never happened

Poor quality and cheap feel. Toe box in the 15 is so narrow now that my foot hangs over the sole on both sides. And where did the cushioning go? My year-old used 14s have more cushion left than a new pair of 15s. Hoping the 16 will correct these issues.

Poor craftsmanship. Tongue tore out the second day.

These shoes were so hard, I needed shoes for work since I work in the medical field and all I can say is, it felt like I was walking on pavement. The shoes were so hard and made my feet hurt even more. I heard lots of good things about these shoes, unfortunately they weren't a fit for me.

I love them! I am Irish and it was fun to wear my Kelly green Brooks with 4 leaf clover on St.Paddy's day! I love the ghost shoes. I have another pair of them. I don't run in them, but I do wear them to work with my scrubs Great shoe very comfortable.

I've been wearing ghosts for over ten years and this is the first pair that I am unhappy with. They changed something with the shoe, they fit differently. The shoe feels bigger/ the mesh feels looser to where I have to tie them so tight the top of my feet hurt. I've given them about 4 weeks to try and unfortunately my opinion isn't changing. I've resorted to wearing my old ghosts and I'll be returning the 15s.

I ordered nightlife/black/ebony shoe. I was expecting them to be yellow the way they look in the pictures. They are a flo yellow instead

So disappointed. This is the worst ghost yet. This essentially is the adrenaline. It feels clunky and heavy, not pillowy like it used to. The insole presses into my arch. The toe box feels extra big and square now, not sleek like before. The color options are the only positive.

I adore those shoes but I gave 1 star because of the color choices. All color combinations are terrible! I wish so much to buy them but they don't match with anything so I can't (that's why 1 star). Can your designer team work on that issue please? Who chose those colors? There is not 1 I can choose! I don't want to buy other just black color. Super disappointed!

Lol what are these?? If I wanted a narrow, tapered shoe, I'd buy that other popular running shoe brand. I have always bought Brooks because of the narrow heel and wide toe box, which is brilliant for long runs. The 14s were bad, but these are terrible. Come back, 13s.

The ghost has gone downhill since the 13. Both the 14 and 15 are not supportive and left my feet feeling awful after wearing them for a short time. The 12's and 13's had no break in time and were my go-to shoes for everything. I was hopeful that the 14 was just a mistake that Brooks would fix but alas the 15 followed suit. If anyone has recommendations for a shoe to the 12 and 13 I'm on the hunt! Until Brooks goes back to its roots I'll have to buy my shoes elsewhere :(

Not as cushioned as I'd have thought..not as good arch support as I'd have hoped..and a little too roomy for me especially in the toe box area..Not what I hoped for. I in no way have especially high arches or a narrow foot and this shoe did disappoint.

To where every day they were just OK but to run. Wow long walks not good at all. They hurt my feet so sorry for the bad review.

The color variations are awful- please bring more variety like the previous ghost lines-

Awesome shoe. If you plan on buying online before trying them out I wouldn't. Every shoe I wear is a 10.5 regular and these ones I would have needed a wide or go up a size. I can't even wear these shoes but since I used them already I can't return them either. I would order again but I would definitely need a wide pair instead of the ones I have. Feels like I wasted a lot of money on this pair of shoes.

Shoe fits well, but they keep ripping very quickly. At first I thought it was me. However this has happened 3 times. Always the same places. The toes. Extremely disappointing.
