Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 15

I previously bought Glycerin GTS but when they changed the cushion with the 20's the arch support changed also. I decided to try something different. I had to send these back too. They just aren't what I need. I reached out to customer support and they weren't helpful. I'll keep looking.

I finally went to a different brand after all these years of loving the Ghost. The last two models have a different foam and just aren't the same.

Sizing is running about 1/2 size larger than previous Ghost editions.

Unfortunately these did not work out for me. The toe box felt less comfortable and the shoe was too narrow and hurt the side of my foot. I am also not a fan of the new laces. I loved the Ghost 13! But I'm sending these new ones back.

My older Ghosts were a great fit, But the new ones feel like the toe box has been shrunken or disappearedeven though my street shoes-size has not changed. Even the soles of the previous years Ghosts look wider in the toe area when placed against the new ones. I have tried a half size bigger but my foot seems too short for it. Fortunately I am not a big runner but use the shoes mainly for cross training. But I do miss the wonderful fit/proportions of the older Ghosts.

I don't usually review purchases, but I think I need to here . I've been wearing Brooks Ghost athletic shoes forever. I have narrow feet w bunions and they are great for me. The 15, not so great. It seems the arch has been moved further back, and it seems like it's cut wider. Love the look of the shoe, I've put my Ghost 14 insoles in and they are perfect! I think you made a mistake by doing modifications to the 15. Especially the arch.

Need more colors for the 4 E but there real comfortable

I had the ghost 14 and really wanted to love the ghost 15 but I was getting lateral foot pain after a couple easy runs. Too much cushion compared to the 14. Had to return

These shoes keep catching and I have fallen once wearing them. They are very comfortable to wear. I think I have purchased the wrong type of shoe.

I liked the way the Ghost 14 fit over the ghost 15. I am not happy with the change. I will keep the 15's which fit ok but I will researching other brands. I have a size 12 4e foot and I have difficulty finding shoes that fit. The Ghost 14 was the best I had found but you decided to discontinue it and change it to the 15 so unfortunately I will have to look elsewhere.

At least they came in my size. They are a little more padded than the new balance 624's, but otherwise the same shoe.

Toe box a bit narrow. Very odd feel upon foot strike as if unbalanced even though stack height is average. Required breaking in to conform to personal bio mechanics. Stiff feel as well. Run 30+ per week and use them as trainers.

They are just okay. I like the narrow fit as I ordered a 2a but the toe box area is too deep and need more support. Also only ONE color was available for my size and width which is sad.

My first experience with Brooks shoes was the Ghost 12 model and I thought they were the most perfect running shoes ever. Although changes were made to each successive model, up until the model 15s, they still were great. Seems like the toe box was extended just a little bit making my usual size 8s a bit too long and this little bit extra makes me feel like I'm going to trip all the time. Not sure if a half size smaller would work, but I'm a little reluctant to try. Aside from this one issue, the shoe is very comfortable. Hoping the next version reverts back to one of the previous model's shape. Kind of a bummer to leave the new 15s untouched and always reach for one of my old pairs.

They were not as cushioned as ghost 13. I was looking for more cushion and plushness.

Feels like less cushioning than previous versions. I was expecting better bounce for a new shoe. I've been using ghost since ghost 6 and this and 12 have been the worst.

Fits different than the 14s. Overall is wider so arch support is off.

I've ordered this running shoe in the same size many times over the past 10(?) years. Suddenly it seems bigger than before. Still very comfortable but it's puzzling. Has "vanity sizing" hit shoes as well as regular clothes?

Not as comfortable as the Trace. I would not buy this one again.

Pros: I ordered a men's wide. The toe box is roomy, the upper is soft, and there's good shock absorption/cushioning. Those features are key because I have arthritis of the big toe (aka hallux rigidus and hallux limitus) and wear custom orthotic insoles. Cons: After trying out the shoe, I've concluded I need to go back to a different brand, one that not only offers the features mentioned above but also has a ROCKER SOLE. The rocker sole helps offset some of the impact on the forefoot, a big deal for those of us with issues like big toe arthritis.

Cute design but I returned them because of the fit. My foot moved around too much in them.

True to size but wish it had softer cushion. Not good for long distance running

Like: Fits true to size. I have a 4E wide foot and the toe box is perfect fit with plenty of room. Dislike: cushioning. After running even short sprints, experience heel pain for 1-2 days after. Needed to purchase orthotic inserts to increase absorption. Im a long time (>15 years) ASICS Nimbus customer. Based on reviews decided to try Brooks Ghost. Boorks Ghost quality is better but lacking in cushion comparison.
