I have been wearing Brooks for years. I needed a new pair for work, and decided on a color. I always wear the same size and these were not fit in the heel. I do jump between Ghost and Adrenaline, but my heel was slipping the first few steps. Normally it is tight and snug, and not an issue. I have been wearing 14s, but the change with the 15s are not going to work with my feet. I will try a pair of Adrenalines for now, as I do not care for the prints in the 16s at this time.

I havre bought Brooks for years and now my daughter started running. The last 3 pair of brook Shoes have held up terribly. The back of the heels rip up and then destroy the back of my daughter’s ankles. We are done with Brooks! What a shame this is another company cutting corners with their products!

These are not the same Ghost 15 shoes I ordered in November. I wore them for 30 minutes on the treadmill, around the kitchen, then sat at the puzzle for 2 hours-my feet really hurt. I gave them a try the next day, afterall, I wear my other pair all day, and nope, my feet hurt.

4E version is insanely wide (not in a good way!). Laces are a clown-like length...way too long. Regretting my purchase.

I have worn Ghosts for many years, always have 2 pairs in rotation. This model 15 is not like previous versions, not even close. The fit across the foot, the toe area didn't work for me, and my normal size is too long. Why do companies change something that worked so well? I will order another Adrenaline 22 in the meantime, my 2nd fav sneaker.

Found it wasn't the same as my Ghost 14: The Ghost 15 was slipping in the heel, had to return. Very disappointed because I loved the Ghost 14.

I wore the Ghost 14 everyday for a year. So what did I do next? I retired them, made them my mowing shoes, and bought the Ghost 15. They were okay for three months. After that, I had terrible pain in my Achilles' and ankles. This is the only shoe I've ever had to cause me pain like this. On to New Balance I guess

I took a break from running in Ghosts for a few years as the quality and comfort declined. I decided to give them another try but after trying both a medium width (which I normally wear) it was to snug so I returned them and went with a wide. These are not comfortable either, so I plan to return them as well. Just not as comfortable as they were in the past.

This is the second pair of ghosts (14 then 15) I bought and I don't find them very comfortable. I've been trying them out for a couple of weeks and they hurt my feet and it hasn't gotten any better. My feet hurt if I wear them for a short while and even more so if I wear them longer. The shoes could be a good pair for someone else but these are not working for me.

These did not live up to my expectations, I have worn Brooks years ago with liked them. These are not that comfy and in person they kind of look like bowling shows (mostly because of the color). Had to return. Will try something else.

This has been my shoe of choice for many years. Not sure what has changed, but the structure and support is flimsy. My old ghost offers more support than my brand new ones. Not sure I'll purchase anymore after this experience

I do not normally write reviews, but coming from a pair of Ghost 14 that I loved for the better part of 5 months, my expectations were high for the Ghost 15. I walk a lot for my work and usually log about 8k steps a day. I got my shoes March 5 and its now April 22nd. The toe box feels completely broken down and making the balls of my feet hurt. Perhaps sub 150 miles of walking is this shoe's limit and I just got lucky with the previous Ghost 14 pair.

It caused me pain in my both my feet unfortunately. Didn't feel neutral to my foot even though neutral works for me usually. Also the narrow was still a little wide in the sole.

Don't like changes in fit. Narrow is now too wide in the toe box even with extra socks, but heel is ok (I take AA with AAAA heel normally). Not sure if arch or padding has changed but overall not as comfy as previous versions. Wish you'd bring back the "old" stretchy laces. Overall fit not as comfortable as earlier versions of Ghost.

When using Superfeet insoles in these shoes, they squeak horrendously. I have two pairs of Ghost and can't use the insoles in either of them. Is it the cheap materials you ate using to manufacture these shoes? I have never had a problem with any other brand of shoes I've used the insults with. Also Ghost 12 material around the ankle is different than Ghost 14, the 14 are fairly new and the ankle material inside is wearing down and fraying. Just bought some Ghost Max, but this will be my last purchase of Brooks. Quality detiorating.

I really liked Ghost 14 better as 14 had more padding in the footbed and was more comfortable for long walks and runs.

I have worn Brooks Ghost for 20 years. This new pair does not have the cushioning of the others. Nowhere near as comfortable…

The Brooks Beast is my favorite shoe. I've worn the Ghost's before, however this shoe was a royal pain to put on. I sent them back today.

I used to love the Ghost running shoe the best. The last pair I got was so uncomfortable and felt to tight for my feet. I gave them to my mother who loved them as a walking sneaker. I decided a couple years later to try the Ghost again and am feeling the same way about this pair. They just don't work for me any more and seem to run narrow and small now. I'm bummed because they were my go to sneaker for a long time.

I love the shoes but I bought shoes on February 12th, Ghost 15's, and as I was trying my shoes the laces burst through the hole and the shoes are ruined. It looks like the other ones are worn down as well. Searching through the reviews it appears I am not even close to the only one.

First off, I took Brooks up on the Run Happy guarantee and my money was fully refunded. Now, the review. Ghost 15's look great. Great colors and design. That's where the good part ends. I've owned 4 pairs of Ghost 9 and loved them. I owned 1 or 2 Ghost 10 and liked them. I bought TEN pairs of Ghost 12 because they were the best! I had one pair of Ghost 13 but didn't like the feel, so I just wore them for work. Ghost 8,10 and 12 all felt fantastic right out of the box. Every run for hundreds of miles was incredibly comfortable. Ghost 15's felt nothing like my previously loved Ghost 12 and 9. Ghost 15 didn't feel cushy and comfy. I gave them a chance by running at least 35 miles in them. Ghost 15 felt - for the lack of a better description- dead. I ran in some well used, but still okay- Ghost 12's after returning the 15's, and that run felt much better than each run with the 15's. I tried the 15's on two treadmills and outside. None of those runs felt good. Ghost 15 felt similar to shoes I've run in that were more towards the minimalist end, but Ghost 15 had a little more support. Hindsight being 20/20, I didn't think the 15's felt cushy enough right out of the box, so I should've returned them I didn't for two reasons. 1: my love of precious Ghost shoes. 2: Brooks' Run Happy guarantee. I'll be looking for a new pair of half (or full) marathon shoes. Hopefully a different Brooks model. I think I'll have to go to a store to try some new varieties.
