I wear orthotics and Ghost 15 are the only shoe my podiatrist recommends I wear. I follow that recommendation pretty much daily. I require a 9 wide which sucks only because the color selection SUCKS. I would love more options OTHER than BLACK. I loved color 434 heck I love all the colors that aren't BLACK, GREY and WHITE. Please provide more color options in wide sizes.

I'm not a runner but my Dr. recommended these because I was suffering from Plantar Fasciitis. These are super comfortable and my foot pain went away after only a few weeks wearing these shoes daily. My biggest complaint is that most color options have a light colored soul. I'd love some more neutral color options (like a navy body with a navy sole) since I have to wear them every day, but I'm here ordering my second pair!!

Material seems a bit cheap compared to ghost 14... less quality than before.

Very comfortable for my wife feet and have enough cushion but not too much where I feel scared that I may roll my ankle because my foot is too far from the ground. I think they have a fairly wide toe box as well.

I love this shoe; it is comfortable with a good cushion, but my only wish is that it was available in a wide toe base.

they're good nothing to write mom about but it's nice to have a new pair of sneaks better than the cheaper brooks but not twice the price better.

These are actually for the wife she can't find enough women's size in 9.5 wide
You need to make more colors available for wider size

Feels hard at first, like I'm already a 100 miles into it; should have more cushion, especially at the beginning. Everything else about fit is very good.

Great cushion and excellent color choices. Lacks a little bit of support side to side. I don't run but wear my Ghost for work. I walk around 10000 steps a day between buildings. Working with dogs I have a lot of side to side motion. I would definitely buy another pair. Standing all day, the cushioning is important.

I've been a Brooks fan for years and have loved both the Ghost and Glycerin. My only issue is that the past several years, the soles wear out very quickly. I'm already seeing wear after 3 weeks of walking in them 3-5x/wk. I like the fit and the colors I chose are nice. The cushioning is adequate for my needs, but the material on the soles don't seem to last long.

Loved the wider toe box because of my bunion but it does not seem as cushioned as it use too

TL;DR - Shoes are good, but the fit is different from past generations. After 50 miles I think I'm going to have to look at different shoes for my marathon/training.
I've loved the Brooks Ghosts in the past and have had multiples of multiple generations. I've run multiple half marathons in them, always great! ... But- I've been marathon training and have just run my first half in the Ghost 15s, while still a good shoe, they feel different and not in ways I'm enjoying.
- Positive: I LOVE the color. I got them in "848 - Orange/Blue/Yellow" So cool looking!
- 1st. These feel roomier in the heel. In past generations I haven't had any heel slip issues but with the 15s the only way I can keep them from slipping is to do a "racers-loop" tie. haven't had to do that in the past at all. (and this makes the 2nd issue even worse)
- 2nd. Someone else mentioned the height being an issue for them and I agree. Maybe the 15s aren't as tall as in the past? I'm noticing some pinching / discomfort across the top of my feet. Not the end of the world- but I definitely feel a little bruise on the top of my right foot after their first half marathon.

Nice shoe. Has plenty of cushion, even for a 250lbs runner. Light weight so it's good for racing and speed work. Colors are awesome! The only issue I have (and it's a big one) is after a few weeks of use both shoes have a weird indent above the big toe. It's sagging and starting to become an issue with rubbing. I always where size 12 in my other brooks (Glycerin 20) and never had anything like this happen. So be aware. If I went smaller I worry about my toes rubbing even more. Don't know how what to do except put K tape on my toes before longer runnings

Loving the 15! I used to wear them but used the glycerin training for a half marathon. The glycerin felt bulky, so I went to the ghost again. A little worried they won't have enough cushion for my marathon training.

I thought these shoes were slip ons and was disappointed when the two different shoes I ordered had laces that had to be tied, the pictures weren't clear on that. I've bought a lot of shoes online all in the same size and these shoes are the smallest running of them all. They still seem like cool shoes, they look cool at least.

I am not exactly sure what is different between the Ghost 14 & the Ghost 15, but I do like the 14's fit better. There are some days my feet get a numb/tingly feeling if I wear the 15's too long. Same size and same width so, I do not know why it happens. I have several pairs of 14's and several pairs of 15's and it only happens with my 15's.

They are pretty comfortable but I walk all day and my feet be killing me at the end of the day so maybe I'm just not use to walking that much

Very limited color selection in wide width. It's a lot of money to spend when you can't get colors that you like.

I've been running in brooks for at least 12 years. I feel like my last two pairs (ghosts bought over the last 12 months) have less support than prior pairs. Also, the laces are way too long even with a double tie. Overall, still a good sneaker.

I would love to keep these shoes, but they are not wide enough for one of my feet. The left one is absolutely perfect, the right, a little tight. I have very wide feet and some of the reviews say that these run a little wider, which is true. I thought I could get my regular size in a regular width, and they would be ok. Sadly, not wide enough on one foot. The arch support is great, and the cushioning is great as well. I wish I could keep them. Sadly again, I will have to order a wide width in an ugly color.....wish Brooks would make some of the cute colors in wide widths!!

They're pretty cushioned and comfortable but I seem to be near blistering on the balls of my feet. Hoping this fades as I break them in.

GREAT looking and great show. Nice width. Could use better insole or higher quality cushioning. I would advise purchasing insoles for added comfort.

I'm not a runner, I use these sneakers for walking especially on long walks. They are comfortable but my one complaint is that they seem to loosen up as I'm walking. I find myself retightening up the laces again to feel like sneakers are securing my feet properly. I prefer a tight secure fit on my feet. I don't like the sneakers to feel loose fitting at all. Other than that complaint the sneakers are very comfortable once I get them Tight enough and feel like they are properly securing and supporting my feet
