Love the color pattern, hate the heel support, I feel like this is a step down from the 14. Of course the fit is great but these aren't anything special and I can't wear insoles with them because the material makes a squeaking noise I've never encountered with any other pair.

Destroyed my feet. I'm 6' 2" and 240 lbs. This shoe felt like there was zero support or stability. Developed plantar fasciitis on the first 3 mile walk and went downhill from there. Way too much flex in tge midsole and the shoe rolls like you are walking on marshmallows. 25 miles on these and I am done.

Loved the colors on the ones I purchased but something is different with the arch area. I'm not sure they are as cushy as my 13's. I returned them and got 14's instead but would much prefer my 13's again. A lil disappointed.

Narrow? Not even close. My Ghost 14s in medium width fit more snugly than the 15s. Seems like all they did was slap a narrow label on the mediums and call it a day. If you have narrow feet, keep looking.

Very uncomfortable. I wanted a cushiony. This shoe has no cushion. My feet feel like they are swimming around and sweaty. I will be buying Brooks brand any longer. I'm looking for something different.

I have been wearing Ghost from number 7 and find 15 make my feet smell no matter what socks I wear, I have never had any other shoes do this so it's either the material or something else. Laces keep coming undone and nowhere near as comfortable as the older models. Not sure if I will buy ghosts again if the smell continues. I can smell my feet even while the shoes are still on.

Comfortable but honestly the hottest sneakers I've ever experienced. My socks were wet and that's never happened with any other shoe. It's like there's no ventilation.

I've been wearing Brooks Ghost for probably 10+ years. And I've loved every version up until Ghost 15. The front footbed is not as wide and comfortable as the previous versions. I'm online seeing if I can get a Ghost 14 before they sell out. So sad :-(
If you are not buying Ghost for the wide footbed you will probably have not problem with these shoes. The cushioning is nice.

This shoe didn't work for me at all. The support seems lacking and the cushioning inside wasn't enough to handle even walking . I know the reviews I read were mostly positive but I don't find these worth the cost. They seem to cause some knee pain. I am returning them.

Do not fit as well as all previous Ghost shoes. Tighter and less comfortable.

I've always worn Brooks Ghost, but this pair is not comfortable to me. I didn't try them on before I returned the other shoes I ordered because I thought they would fit like the Ghost 14 that I had before, but they don't!

I just ordered three pairs of Ghost 14s before they are not available. I am not happy with the revised Ghost 15 fit although they look nice.. I am a walker and this model doesn't fit the same as previous Ghost iterations. I've had low back and hip pain since I started wearing these for six weeks and I went back to my Ghosts 13s hoping to get better. Please Brooks, bring back some version of the older Ghost design. (Fingers-crossed that the Ghost 14s fit like the 13s!)

I’ve been wearing Brooks Ghost for a long time. The fit and styling of the Ghost 15 seems different. It feels less supportive and the shape of the toe box is less rounded, which I prefer. The shoe feels flat and less springy. I will send them back and look for available Ghost 14’s.

Do not like the color of this shoe. Thought it would be more white. Fit is good, style is nice.

I don't know what it is about this shoe vs. my body, but it feels awful. I got kneecap pain within the first 15 minutes of using it on the road. Within an hour, the muscles in my right leg were so fatigued I had to give up. The inside of the shoe slants forward so much (feels like more than a 12mm drop, to me) that it stresses my feet. The midfoot and toes have very little support, so it feels totally unbalanced. I'm sorry, but this is probably the worst running shoe I've bought :/

I have been running in ghost for over 10 years. I just don't like this model. The sizing feels off and they just don't cup my foot and support like previous models.

They were ok, I am not particularly hard on shoes and these blew out within a year. I am not a heavy runner used these mostly for walking but on a recent run when I planted my foot to go a different direction the whole shoe split. They were comfortable for a time but not made very well. Customer service said this was within wear and tear, but I have had other Nikes last 3 to 4 years under the same use and never had an issue. I wouldn't recommend .

I have run exclusively in Ghost sneakers since 2011, often purchasing multiple pairs per year. Although the 15s are better than the 14s, they are still drastically different from the previous models. The main issue is that they are shallow. It felt like my foot was very straight in the shoe. They are also not nearly as soft. I also think the photos and descriptions leave something to be desired. It is hard to tell what color you are purchasing. I thought I was buying a purple sneaker with black soles. It was blue-indigo with soles that are not blue but also not black. This is cosmetic and I would have kept them if the shoe felt like the original Ghosts. I was hoping the designers would listen to the complaints (and returns) on the 14s and make the new model like the 13 or previous models but no such luck. Had to return this sneaker just like I returned the 14 last year.

I loved the 13 and the 14 but these 15 were kind of a miss. The shoe squeeze at the base of your toe joints, arch and heels, transferring the pain to your upper back. It's almost as if the shoe needs more space towards the inside and less towards the outside.

A little too stiff for my liking and run more narrow than the launch.

I've been wearing ghosts for 6 years and always wear same size 8. The ghost 15 are too narrow and long. When running, the extra length trips me up and the entire shoe feels very narrow. I thought about exchanging for 7.5 Wide but the colors I want do not come in the wide so I returned after 1 run.
