The tongue slides to the side unless there tied tighter then is comfortable for me.

It seems like the ghost 15 doesn't have quite as much cushion/structural support as the ghost 13. Like every other shoe, they have changed the structure of the footbed so it feels less supportive and cheap. The toe box feels pretty comfortable, but something has changed because after a few hours of wearing it, I get pain under the ball of my foot. It's just not as comfortable or as good as the ghost 13s that I have. I guess I will just have to wear those out and be done with the Ghosts

The shoe is comfortable. My only complaint is the inside back of the shoe wears out quickly. It's a mess. Brooks needs to provide a better liner for the inside of the shoe.

I was disappointed. The toe box is shorter than on my last pair.

I actually love the Ghost 15 shoe. The reason I gave it three stars was that I ordered a narrow & it did not seem narrow. The reason I can tell is that I ordered the shoe last year & it was great for my narrow feet. So this year I decided to go the same route, but did not work so well.

The color and aesthetic of the shoe is nice but the Ghost 14 is way more comfortable than the newer Ghost15. Not as supportive and definitely not as comfortable to run in.

Have been wearing Ghost for the last 12 years. This is the first time that my new shoes required a few days to break in. They felt stiff and not very comfortable at the beginning, and the insoles tend to separate from my heels with every step. I bought the same size shoes and laced them the exact same way as always. Fortunately, things improved after about a week. Maybe my feet got used to the shoes? I almost regretted buying this pair of Ghost 15.

I bought this second pair of 11.5 Ghost 15 about 9 months after my first pair. I was extremely pleased with the first pair of the same shoe in 11.5 US, but this second pair marked in the SAME size is very nearly 1.5 inches shorter in length than the first pair. How can that be? Is it miss-marked or do they have production or QC issues? I thought I was switching to Brooks, but maybe not. The shoe is also supposed to be a wide, but it is much more thin through the mid and toebox than many other brands that aren't even wide models. Very disappointed and skeptical of Brooks now - too bad.

I am an AVID ghost wearer in fact I have 14's and 13's in my office along with my new 15's.i have noticed very quickly that the 15's are not made with the same quality as before.in fact I have rubbing on the back of my heel (15's are less than three weeks old) which made me quickly compare.the support of the back of my 15's are shorter and more flexible than the ghosts before.which have caused the rubbing. This makes me sad.ill standby to see if this continues.

The fit was okay, but there was not much cushion and very little arch support.

I have another pair of Ghost 15 and they have been great. Bought a new pair different color and the tongue on the right sneaker feels as though there is a board constantly pressing on top of my foot. Tried different socks, laces and nothing helped. Had to return second pair!

I have been wearing Brooks Ghost series for years. I initially bought because of the wide toe box, it was perfect on every series I bought, except for the 15. The toe box isn't as wide and my toe is rubbing up against the top of the shoe. I always buy 2 pairs to rotate, I will keep one for everyday and send the other back.

This is my second pair of Ghost 15s after really enjoying Ghost 13s for several years. I love the color of these (peacoat/pearl/salt air) and the comfort of the AA width but don't care for the look of the wider heel base nor the flat laces that are difficult to stay tied.

This is an adequate athletic shoe. It does not have the support of the New Balance I'm used to wearing, but for casual wear it is fine. My usual size is 8N, in thIs brand the 9N was the best fit for me. I will keep looking for a New Balance in my size for distance walking. It gets harder and harder to fit my narrow foot.

Pro: The fit of the 15 fit well around my heel and mid-foot, unlike the 14s, which to me ran wide. Cons: The cushioning in the shoe is lacking. After walking a mile on the treadmill, I could feel the lack of cushioning and my feet felt sore. I sent this shoe back, and ordered the new model of the Glycerin (21) , which I hope will perform better. I walk about 1.5 miles 5-6 days a week, so a shoe with good cushioning is important.
I would wear the Ghost 15 more as a shoe for running errands and daily use, rather than for exercise.

Owned Ghost shoes before and these fit different. Had to return. Then I had to go into a retail store to try on and bought the same shoe I already had.

This is my 5th pair of Ghost shoes, my 2nd pair of 15s. I felt like my most recent pair have been stiffere and not as cushiony as my previous Ghost 15.

I've had mine for 2 months and I usually love them but I like the max better. My feet seem to get tired in these after 5 miles. The shoelaces keep coming untied unless I double knot them, too.

I loved the look but I couldn't last my full shift wearing them. I work 10-12 hour shifts in medical field and midway my feet started hurting. I'm not sure if it's bc I have a high arch but unfortunately, I had to return them. They were a bit harder than I thought they would be.

I love the look but the shoe itself made the bottom of my right foot hurt. It kind of felt like it was stinging.

First of all, the fit just feels a slight bit loose compared to the 14. Usually a size 9 UK, but probably should have gone for 8.5. But I don't really have time for multiple returns to explore this. So I probably won't keep these for the long-term.
But more importantly, the cushioning just feels less plush than the 14. A little cheaper feeling, in fact. I found the Ghost 12 too firm, and the 10 (like the 14) just right for me. New technologies are exciting and all that, but it's very hit and miss.
I am somewhat stuck with the Ghost, as 12mm drop shoes are few and far between now. I don't have much choice, as my Achilles tendons won't play nice with anything else. So I just have to hope the the 16s wind up being one of the better generations.
Frustrating!

Nice shoe, but not as nice or comfortable as the Ghost 12 was, that was my favorite shoe of all time. Just not as comfortable to run in as the 12, less cushion on the heel, not as comfortable upper.
