Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 15

Ghost 14 has been good for my feet. I wear them to work all day every day because I have some foot issues. The stability and amount of cushion work. I ordered a pair of Ghost 15s because the colors were so fun! I will say the navy with the bright colorful sole is gorgeous! Alas, they're not for me. I have wide-ish feet, not that I order wides, but am usually happy if shoes run a little wide, but the Ghost 15s were too much. They are very soft, squishy and sloppy. My heel slipped around and overall they didn't feel as stable as the 14s or 13s I've worn. I am stocking up on some 14s and will sadly return these pretty shoes.

I am a Brooks fan. Have 6 pairs, three are different styles. This is my first pair of ghosts, and I am not impressed especially for the price. So far, my Trace's have been the best pair by far. The ghosts run small and that's saying a lot since I have narrow feet. They are not comfortable either. I won't run in them. I will wear them for st Patrick's day and put them away for next year.

Please get rid of the black and white pictures of new shoes. At this point, I refuse to buy any that are in black-and-white pictures because I never get a true idea of what I'm buying

So far, not loving them as much as the Ghost 14. The 14s were a big transition for me from what I was wearing before but it was easy and comfortable right away--no soreness in adjusting. But moving to the 15s has had some of that. They feel different, the toes feel on the edge, and they seem very different. It seemed like it should have been a no-risk change, but it's been a bit surprising. Also, the colorway options when I get the wide size are very limiting and disappointing. My wife mocks my geriatric look.

just OK... not as much cushion as my other Ghost shoes.

I bought my first pair of Ghosts back in 2019. I have to buy 2E sized shoes. I'd give the Ghost a 5 star rating every time, but the variety of designs for 2E is so limited. I would have bought many more pairs if I could purchase some of the great designs Brooks puts out.

I love my ghost 14 very comfortable light wearing shoe. But it really is upsets me when you only make it in black and white I wear a size 11 men's 4E you don't make 4E but in black and white. Is there any chance you're going to get some colors in and the size width 4E

I have been a diehard Ghost runner for years, but was disappointed with my latest pair. I chose the "004-Ebony/Black/Oyster" camo colorway in large part because of the aesthetic pop of the graphic black & white laces that are pictured in the product shots. What I received looked nothing like the photosactual laces are these awful skimpy black/dark gray skinny laces (look like the laces pictured on the "152-Whisper White" colorway). Changes the whole look of the shoe for the worse. I considered returning them until I found better quality black & white laces from a random online retailer that replicated the aesthetic of what I should have gotten from Brooks. I'm annoyed that I had to spend additional money just to get the shoe that was promised in the photos.

They are good shoes. My right one seems, without a better way of describing it, defective. They are broken in now, a few weeks into having them, daily use for running, general gym use and even work in a 12 hour shift setting. The left one in all stages from rest to tired is great, the right on the other hand still feel like it slips, it feels as if the sole shifts, and upon adjusting the laces to an almost uncomfortable tightness it seems to slightly resolve the issue. Maybe if I had an additional pair to compare to, I have a firm suspicion that it's just the right shoe.

Decent shoe. Seems to lose its initial strong support and look after wearing it daily for three weeks. Now it looks like a pretty generic shoe and feels just average. Back to HOKAs for me.

These are comfortable, however I have to agree with other reviews-they feel roomier than normal. I have to wear extra thick socks, probably should have exchanged for a half size smaller. The ebony, oyster chamo does not look like the picture at all. The laces are a dark grey with black accents, not white/black. The other oyster accents shown in the online picture are black and the overall shoe is much darker than the bluish shade shown. That was a bit of a disappointment, especially after noticing the shoe does match the picture on the shoebox. Definitely not as sharp looking in person. So with the size difference and vastly different images, 3 stars.

I think the Ghost 14 are more comfortable and fit better. My new 15's have gotten little wear as I keep going back to the 14's.

Still great shoes but, they don't seem as cushy as previous models

I love wearing Brooks shoes. They do give good support to the foot and ankle. I wear rooms for walking and workout not running. The fact that Brooks gives a 90 day wear return policy is awesome. My 13's and 14's fit great and very comfortable from the very first try on but the 15's are just uncomfortable and hurt my feet after walking. They are lightweight which is nice but just literally uncomfortable in the calves, and ankles and seem less stable than the 14's. I have always had to go up in size with Brooks but the 15's seem very tight and short. The quality just wasn't there for me. I returned the 2 pairs of 15's and I loaded up on 14's before they are gone and will wait for the 16's to come out. Finally more colors are starting to appear for the people that like the 15's.

I love my ghost 14s! So I asked for the newer model for Christmas. I really tried to love the 15s but for some reason they really hurt my feet. At first I thought maybe they had to be broken in but my foot pain was worse. I ended up returning them after 30 days of trying them on the treadmill. I will be ordering the 14s the cushion and support is better for me in that style.

I own several pairs of Ghost 14's in size 9 to accommodate my custom orthotics. However, I found that the Ghost 15 felt a bit wider and a half a size larger than the 14's. I was sliding in the shoe. I ended up gifting my original pair of Ghost 15's to my daughter-in-law and I ordered a new pair of Ghost 25's, half a size down in 8.5. They fit perfectly.

Thinner and lighter than the Ghost 13. It is NOT to be worn in rainy weather or any wet surface you *will* slip and fall. This is a bad move on Brooks' part: a rubber sole that slips when wet. Very cheap. Plus, is Brooks not in the Pacific Northwest? Why would you put this type of rubber into a shoe where it rains most of the year? I slipped on a wet sidewalk with these on and just don't trust them much. Ghost 13 was better fabric wise and sole-wise. Still have mine from 3 years ago.

Customer service and return policy is definitely FIVE STARS!!! Bought the grey and loved the color and how they added a bounce to my step. However they ended up hurting the ball of my foot and big toe. Also found them to be very slippery. I still love brooks and would recommend them. This particular shoe just wasn't for me.

I've worn these shoes for several years. I've always been in love with this show. I've got flat feet and bunions so the 4E has been my go to and I find them so comfortable. The last year I've bought several pairs so I always have some in my reserve. The most recent pairs are not nearly as comfortable and seem to be cheaper made. Even the shoestrings are different. I know the economy is different, but structure and comfort are important to me. When you change the "recipe" you definitely lose something. I regret having several pairs in my closet. Thanks for "listening" to me.

I started wearing the Ghost when I worked in a running store a few years ago. They were my go to running shoe. My last pair was the Ghost 13 which I liked so much that I bought another pair in the same color. I have the 14 which I use mainly on the treadmill and like them almost as much. My husband bought a pair of the 15s for Christmas and I'm really disappointed in the cushion, colors offered and especially the laces. I can't even get around the block with my dog when they have come untied. Also, I wear orthotics and had no problem with squeaking with the 13 or 14. They squeak with every step. I hate to send them back, but I really am not happy with them.

I agree with all those who have said that Ghost 12 was the best version of this shoe. Ghost 13 was good in my book, the 14s weren't bad, but I am having major difficulties with the 15s. It feels as though my foot really moves around in the shoe and they just aren't as comfortable/secure on my feet as past versions. Plus I really enjoyed the color choices of earlier versions, especially the neon ones. Why run in dull looking shoes? How boring. Please bring back the construction of the earlier versions and more color choices instead of drab, dark colors.

Runs a bit small. The flat slick laces easily come untied and are short and difficult to double tie.

Light weight is nice, but These don't feel as cushioned as the Ghost 14
