Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 15

I purchased the Ghost 13 and have worn them until I can't anymore. I tried to upgrade to the Ghost 14 without success. I purchased the Ghost 15 and I am experiencing the same issue I had with the 14. The fabric in the midsole is entirely too tight!! I'm all about having a snuggly fitting shoe, but I'm talking sooo comfortable by the end of the day I feel like the circulation is being cut off of me feet! I actually have a more narrow foot and usually purchase regular medium size. This has never been any issue for me with any other shoe. I'm not sure what you did to the fabric or midsole of this shoe, but please bring back the structure of the ghost 13!

This shoe was great at first but after one month the cushion is wearing down.

My 2nd pair of Ghost and my 4th Brooks shoe. The black on black looks great. It's the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. However, the fabric on the upper ripped/wore out from doing workout circuits on turf. The bottoms of the shoe are still in fantastic shape after 150+ miles of running.

I have been buying the Brook "Ghosts" for many years. The past few years their color choices and designs on the Ghost shoes for spring/summer Ghosts have been horrible, which is when I use to always buy my new pair for the summer season. I love the shoe and the fit, but come on BROOKS please start giving us ladies some nice bright summer colors to choose from for the summer months. I really do not want blah black, blah gray different shades of gray, navy etc. or medical stethoscope design on my summer shoes. I have had to switch up my brand I purchase the last 3 summers. Please bring back some nice bright summer colors. Unfortunately this summer will not be a Brook GHOST shoe purchase either.

Have worn Ghost for at least the last 10 pair of shoes. Alwaysthe same size. The Ghost 15 in the same size is too big. 1/2 size smaller is too small. Arch support seems wrong. Granted, I did not run in them, but they don't seem as cushiony either. I am going to have to find a new shoe.

Run big to size, not as soft as I thought they would be impact that is.

I feel like they need way more cushion and support!

I've had multiple pairs of Ghost 13s and 14s and they were comfortable out of the box. I was excited to try the Ghost 15, but I found them stiff and hard to break in. In particular, the heel cup is uncomfortable and digs into my heels. I never noticed the heel cup in previous models of the Ghost. I buy a new pair of Ghosts about every 3 months and rotate between two or three pairs at a time. I find myself wearing my Ghost 14s now and avoiding the 15s. I just ordered two new pairs of Ghost 14s and I'm so afraid they will run out of my size in the 14s. Brooks, please bring back the comfort of the Ghost 14!

I have always loved my Brooks shoes, however this pair squeaks when walking. I have never had that problem before with their shoes. However for that reason alone I am only giving them a 3*. Just because the sound annoys me when walking

The back pull tab of my right shoe digs into my heal and hurts, I'm trying to stretch it out and hoping it gets better because it's very uncomfortable

They're acceptable but not amazing. They'd be more comfortable if made wider at the arch and if the soles didn't angle downward in the direction of my toes. They're definitely better than a lot of other options out there but still not as good as they could be for the price. Altra's shoes are roughly the same price but way more comfortable, just saying.

Love the Ghost and have been wearing them for years! This version is a little different, the tongue in particular bothers me the way and placement of the seam. These shoe laces on the Ghost 15 are the worst, please bring back the puffy ones that displace pressure better!! Also, better this round on having more colorful options for wide-footed runners, but it's be nice to have more than two colors that aren't black/white/grey.

I'm giving it a 3 only because, once again, the shoe(s) that I actually wanted to purchase were simply not made available in the wide width that I require and so I was forced to choose from the scant selection of styles/ colors that are.

I still have achy feet end of The day not enough support and not true fit.

Not holding up well, thought I would try your shoes again, but very disappointed in the quality . Basically shoes, are quite inexpensive to make , the profit margins are high, I've been in the food industry over 40 years now and the quality has remained the same. Consistency towards customer base ,you create a life long relationship of trust and loyalty.

As it is my first pair in the Ghost series and also only my second pair of Brooks shoes I feel my opinion hardly has any credibility, however maybe you can value in it. Personally my first pair of Brooks shoes was the Glycerin 13 and actually to this day I still wear them. I am very hard on my shoes, doing parkour, flips, harsh terrain jumps, etc. on top of the running in them. They have held up a long time and that's why I wanted to try another brooks shoe. The Ghost 15 seem like a durable shoe so far and I believe they will hold up better under all the stress of things I do. However they feel heavier when I'm running and I don't feel like I get the same rebound effect from my previous pair of shoes. The smoothness of my run from heel to toe is not as clean as my Glycerin 13s. Personally I feel the Ghost 15 makes me feel a bit clunky and hard to do flips in. I still find it to be a comfortable shoe and my feet don't hurt in them at all. It could be that I need more time in them but I have high expectations from Glycerin 13 setting the bar so high for me. I went with the Ghost 15 to last longer but I feel for what I do I should have tried the new Glycerin shoes. I hope that helps.

The gentleman who took my order was correct. The ghost 15's are comfortable, but definitely not as much support when walking as my adrenaline's. Can I still return them and wait for the new line of adrenaline's when they come out? I need some white ones in a wide width.

If you love the Ghost 14's... The Ghost 15's will be a disappointment. From the 13 to the 14, the changes were excellent, the 14 is lightweight and truly neutral in its support. The Ghost 15 has a more cushioned feel, less springy and feels as if it takes more energy to propel yourself forward into your next stride. The new 15's also have a thicker heel tab which causes discomfort unless you steam and mold it to the back of your heel. Per usual for the Ghosts, the toe box is still perfect, especially if you order the correct width for your foot. Designs aren't quite as nice as the 14's but still very fun. If I could return my ghost 15's and exchange them for 14's, I would. I even liked the 13's better than these.

The shoe doesn't feel the same as the Ghost 13's. There is a lot less arch support. It's taking a couple weeks for my feet to adjust. They still are a bit sore.

I like the looks of this shoe however the reinforcement on the inside of the toe section hurts my big toe especially when running or walking on a decline

Sneaker initially when you wear it , it fits good but after few hours my feet hurts so bad Nice sneaker, wish I can buy one with do not cause pain

I wanted to love these shoes, but the fit is so different from the Ghost 14 I developed severe heel pain. They felt great at first but I had to switch back to my old shoes to relieve the pain. Now I have 4 new pairs of Ghost 15 shoes, 2 in a size 12 and 2 more in a 12 wide which I can't wear. I wish I could find comfortable shoes.

So far I don't love although they look very cute. The toe box is longer and narrower which isn't uncomfortable but it's changed the landing of my foot. It feels less supportive than the 14s I have (although I had a second pair of those that were also less supportive which I returned). My heels slide around a little more too. Not sure if I'll be keeping them or sending back and giving up on Ghost. I may keep them but wouldn't buy again. I use these for walking and need support for plantar fasciitis.
