The ghost is my go-to shoe, along with the Adrenalines, I've been using them for years. I had foot surgery a few years ago, and Brooks are the only sneakers I can wear that do not trigger any discomfort! (I have a neuroma, and the ligament above the damaged nerve was cut to reduce pain). I order a wide to give my toes a little extra room, as I do not want any compression on them. Durable and comfortable.

Back to the basic Ghosts! The 14s were so awful I returned them. I was a little apprehensive about trying the Ghosts again, but they're awesome again. Love this color combination. I get compliments on them daily

Sorry, I can't run. However, Brooks Ghost shoes are the only shoe I have found that I don't have to break in. I can wear them right away and my feet feel fine. I have rheumatoid arthritis and can no longer wear dress shoes. I have resorted to tennies for exercise, casual, and dress. Thank you and my feet thank you too!

I bought as a Christmas present for my wife. She loves them and as she only wears Brooks when she wears athletic shoes, it's one of her 5 pairs of athletic shoes.

Very comfortable. I use them for work and can stand/walk long hours in them without my feet feeling tired. They do not claim to correct over pronation but they do distribute the weight perfectly on outer borders of feet and provide a very comfortable experience.
They run true to size. The size guide recommended me to order a size up which turned out to be extremely large for me. I returned (thanks for the super easy return and fast refund) and ordered my regular size. They work perfect. For reference I'm 6.5 in American sizes and 37 in European sizes. 6.5 in these worked well for me.

I really like my Brooks Ghost 15 sneakers because I am ordering another pair. I attend an exercise dance class three times a week and they are so comfortable and keep my foot stable but enough flexibility to move on the dance floor. Great shoes. I wear a size 8 medium width and the fit is super! I do like the adrenaline GTS for walking too!

I don’t know why I try other brands. I returned another name brand sneaker last week. Dispute favorable reviews, that popular brand could not compare to the brooks ghost in terms of comfort for my feet and bunions. Thanks, Brooks ! My 4th pair in recent years.

I have been wearing Brooks Ghosts for years and years!!!! I needed to update my kicks and bought these. Fit nicely. I have taken a 10.5 in Brooks for awhile now. Used to be a 10. Very comfortable and perfect for walking my pup!

The ghost is my favorite Brooks shoe! It consistently provides comfort and support. I wear them for everyday, travel and running. It’s the best all around Shoe that never fails.

These are perfect for work! I walk a lot on hard tile floors (hospital) and needed something that provided support without screaming athletic shoes. The design is nice and comfort outstanding.

Ghost 15 does not disappoint - as comfortable as ever! I've been wearing Ghosts (among other Brooks) for many years. I find them to be consistently durable and comfortable day one - no breaking in required. I'm always a size 9 in women's, size 7.5-8 in men. I ordered the women's black with purple sole and hot pink laces and they are even more vibrant in person . Love!

The shoes were very good looking, appeared to be well made and true to size. However, I recently recovered from Plantar Fasciitus and am now required to wear an orthotics insert. Even with taking the insert out that came with the shoe, once I put the orthotic sole in, it just doesn't feel right. Otherwise, I think they would be a great walking shoe.

Shoes are great. You changed the shoe laces from my Ghost 12's. Those old shoe laces never came undone while I was on the treadmill. New ones do more times than not.

Love the shoe. Unfortunately I have trouble with the laces staying tied. I've never needed to double knot my Brooks, but my pair of 15 need to be double knotted to stay tied. Everything else is great! Have worn these shoes for years & love them.

Brooks created the perfect shoe with the ghost 14 and I really don’t know why they had to go and change them! The 15s are similar, they obviously look the same, they feel a bit lighter and more breathable, but they feel far less supportive/cushioned and my stride just isn’t as smooth and effortless with these. They are just fine. I found my perfect running shoe with the 14 and wish they would have gone unchanged. I sadly may shop for a different brand when it’s time.

Love the Ghost style shoe. I wear a neutral shoe and these work well for me.
However, STOP using nylon shoe laces. They come untied way too easily. I've had several runs/races where I've had to stop just to "retie" one of the shoes because the nylon laces don't grip. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me the chance to rate these shoes with 5 stars by changing the laces so they stay tied. I should not have to double bow the laces every time I wear the shoes.

I bought the shoes for walking because the reviews said they had good arch support for hight arches. I love the shoes but the arch support wasn't there. Fortunately I was able to replace the insert with my Abeo insert- it's now my favorite walking shoe and the look is great.

A little disappointed. I have 2 pair of Ghost 14 and loved them from day one. While the Ghost 15 looks good, I get a blister on the top underside of my big toe each time I wear them.

I resent paying $139 for shoes that have shoelaces that aren’t long enough. Wore the shoes to grocery shop, one shoe came untied and of coarse there was nowhere to sit down and tie them. I wear a narrow. I wonder how someone with a wider foot could even tie them. This is a stupid way to make a greater profit. I’m 85 years old. What if I had fallen because of the shoe laces ?

Used to run brooks ghosts until they changed the design and I was getting blisters now the brand I went with changed their equivalent to be a giant boat of a shoe (see Ghost Max) with no regular option. Did my research and went with this. I have EE feet and supinate (run more so on the outside of my feet). Run 4-5 times a week on trail and road usually 5-10km. Very comfortable. Size seems true to foot measures and the design looks good (extra wide colors are always lame for any brand got black or gray this time). Laces are good and stay tied without any double loops. The only issues I have is they don't grip well even when new. I'll slide on wet painted stripes on the road, or dry rocks/boulders on the trails. It's manageable but was a little surprising the first time. Aside from this my feet can slide inside a bit, pushing into the front of the shoe with the factory insert when running downhill. Might be a shoe sock issue. Tightening them up a little helped, but too tight leads to other problems. Overall will be my regular shoe until they change it for changes sake again.
