I wish Brooks would stop updating the footbeds. I wore the Adrenaline for 20 years and now they don't fit at all. I switched to Ghost for a year and now the latest redesign makes these unwearable too. The heels are somehow narrower and higher so my foot no longer stays in the shoe.

These shoes were not comfortable for me. I'm returning them. I've worn Ghost 13 and 14, but I do not like this new 15. It hurt on the top of my foot and felt wider in the toe box.
I'd also recommend:

What happened to the cushioning? After receiving these I ended up searching the internet for the ghost 14 in my size. Giving 3 stars because at least they didn't change width, length and overall fit.

Love the shoes but am sick and tired of not being able to buy wide width in all the cool colors. Why such blatant discrimination??

Love to buy a new pair, but with the same ugly colors in wide sizes I'll just keep wearing my boring bland ones I already have. Thank you

My first run felt like I'd been using the shoes for months instead of taking them straight out of the box. I like a little more cushion. But they're really cute.

I like the roomy Heel cup, but there's no cushion in the front of the shoe which hurts my left toes while walking. They're not very good for standing either, both ankles started hurting after only standing for a few mins. Good cushion in the heels but toes feel like I'm walking on pavement with no shoes on, guess I have to keep looking for shoes elsewhere cus Brooks won't listen to their customers and they keep changing the designs of their shoes.

Good shoe but not enough arch support for me. Great colors to pick from

The toe box was extra roomy compared to ghost 14. I could wriggle my toes too freely and the fabric was loose. I returned the shoe and ordered the ghost 14 which is what I had previously. Much better fit and I wish there was more consistency between the two model years.

Dispute being recommended to brooks by my pediatrist, I could never get around the colors. Especially not for the price. Finally bought a cheaper pair in gray I could somewhat see westing and conform wise they are the best shoes I've ever worn. Just really confused why they make all the pinks and purple/ pastels ext. I honestly don't know one single women who would wear these. Not even my grandma would. I could see maybe for nurses or something but nothing in outdoorsy or rustic colors. Muted blue, olive greens, mustard, tans etc..even hunter green or navy they throw in other colors that are back to looking like they are for 8 year olds. Would love to see some black and olive green. Tans maybe. I would never buy another brand. PLEAaSE UPDATE COLORS. Comfort and cushion is great. I have plantar fas. and have even had to get PRP shots in my feet. Would love to be able to buy another pair besides just black. They definitely run tight and small but sizing up they are nice.

Initially, it really felt good....cushy. I had high hopes. But, the arch supports too high for me and the metatorsal arch on my right foot would hurt after wearing awhile.

I am not as keen on this version of the Ghost. I really dislike the flat thin shoe laces. They seem to stretch when I am working out. Despite carefully lacing them when I put them on, my heel starts to lift out of the shoes when doing certain movements, never had this happen before. I have has to use my Sports Medicine knowledge to create different methods of lacing to help the slipping.
The soles appear to be more slippery when walking on tiled floor when damp, this did not happen with the previous version.
I am disappointed with the color choice this season. Too many white based designs. I wanted a colored upper, but they came with black soles.not a summer look.but I bought them anyway.

The change from the 14 to the 15 didn't work for me. Heel is too wide.

This was my 3rd pair of Ghost. They have always had great support and love that they come wide, well at least some do. This time I ordered standard because the fun stylish print does not come in wide. As usual they were too narrow for my right foot. I had to return. I tried looking at other Brooks designs, but the wides are always sold out with the cute patterns or wide is not even an option. I find it very frustrating that wide is only available for basic colors and not the fun more stylish patterns. Step up your game Brooks. There is a market for girls with wide feet, we like to wear cute shoes too.

Tongue gusset, needs it. Brooks ghost 16 please, couple little pieces of fabric on the sides of the tongue will solve a lot peoples of headaches. Don't be cheap, make it happen. And not so important but drop the 12mm drop to 10mm, 10mm is still high but 12mm is unnecessary and frightening to a lot of folks.

the shoes feel fine and comfy as always, but the shoelaces are thin, feel cheaply made and are extra thin. I have to double tie them to make sure they are secure. Please make the shoelaces more sturdy on the next model.

I was so excited that Brooks finally made a black in narrow. This shoe is more of a medium than narrow. I’m keeping them because I really need a black shoe.

I have bought Ghosts for years and started buying them in Wide about 3 years ago. This latest wide Ghost feels like it has less cushioning in the front part near the balls of my feet. I'm not sure these will work out--I might need to switch to a more cushioned Brooks shoe.

Not as good as the ghost 13 but better than the 14th. Don't like the flat shoe strings that was with the 14s and 15s. Usually I don't have to break in my Brooks the left shoe that I ordered had some extra room in the heel I didn't know if it was a manufacturing issue with the shoe, I had ordered another pair and don't seem to have the problem with it. Brooks needs to replicate the 13 as a whole along with the round stretchable shoe strings it seems like Brooks strayed away from a good shoe. If this keeps up I will look for another manufacturer.

The Ghost 14s fit me perfectly. These are way too wide, particularly in midsole. The 2 sides nearly touch when I tried to lace them up, and just looks overall sort of clunky. I am a size narrow, with flat, low volume feet. I returned these to purchase another pair of the older version. My criteria for running shoes is black, narrow width, neutral cushion. This is currently my only option on the market. I hope future narrow width versions will be made narrow again!
