Customer Reviews Brooks Green Silence Ghost 15

I have plantar fasciitis and very wide feet so finding shoes has always been a challenge. Previously, I wore Hoka Bondis which I could wear comfortably without any orthotics until a recent redesign rendered them horrible. I decided to try Brooks. I really liked the shoe finder guide that had you go through various exercises to ultimately recommend several models that match your stride best. I went through a couple of those without success (I really appreciated the Brooks trial and ease of return). I finally found the perfect shoe in the Ghost 15! I have been wearing them for a couple of weeks now and they are extremely comfortable. Even in situations where I was on my feet walking for an entire day I remained comfortable throughout without any fatigue or aching. The toe box is wide enough (I wear a 4e) that my toes are not being crushed together which has been a common problem I have found in other extra-wide shoes. Also the arch support is just right as to negate the need for any inserts although I believe they could easily accommodate them if you needed them. There is a slight spring in them that helps propel you forward as you move, The construction seems pretty durable too with a harder sole that will definitely wear better on pavement than other brands I have worn. I do wish they came in some additional colors for the wider sizes but they are definitely my new go-to shoe.

This is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn(and I've worn and tried a lot of them). I was bragging on the comfort of another brand to a friend one day and that friend told me I needed to try Brooks. I bought a pair of Brooks and after just one wear, there isn't a comparison. The Brooks are significantly better. The heel and sole comfort is incredible. I'm buying another pair so I have one for running and one for everyday casual use.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis, and was search for a road running shoe that would help with my pain. After doing a bit of research, I learned that I needed a 10-12 mm drop. There aren't too many running shoes out there that offer a 12 mm, but Brooks/Ghost does, so I ordered a pair. So far, so good. The shoe seems durable enough. Could be a tad lighter, but most importantly, for me, I'm not experiencing as much pain later in the night when I take my shoes off.

I have been wearing Ghosts for a few years and find them to be a great shoe in my rotation.I also have a pair of Adrenlines and a pair of Glycerins for my long walks but my go to is the Ghost.

They seem to be ok. I have plantar fasciitis and at least it hasn't gotten worse with the new sneaker. I just wish the price was better. I see now they are 20$ cheaper than when I purchased. Affordability is the issue when you should replace every 6 mo.

I kept to the Ghost 15 due to the Ghost 16 having a new drop...training for a marathon and did not want to have any type of injury. Typically with a new drop you need to go slowly with the new shoe or you will get an injury

Excellent shoe that I use for daily walking, but Brooks really needs to expand the color selection for 4E sizes. Two choices (black or gray) really doesn't do much for me.

I love how comfortable the Ghost shoes are, but they're probably the clunkiest and most klutzy (and to me, ugliest) shoes I have. Also, I love that they come in Narrow widths, but regret that these Narrows don't seem to come in colors lighter than black or navy. I'd be really happy if, besides making the Ghost more streamlined and attractive, Brooks would make Narrow shoes in a wider variety of colors and styles.

So disappointed in Ghost 15 I had high hopes for this show. It lacks both heel and arch support big time and it's so wide in the toe box. Returned

So far these seem to be pretty good. I like a wide toe box, though I don't have a wide foot, and these have the room that I like. They're very comfortable, good padding in the heel and sole. Since I have sensitive feet, I still need to break them in before I can see if they'll work long term. I've never had thick soles before, and these aren't as extreme as Hokas, but they're still pretty thick. They only thing I would say - and this seems to be true of most shoe manufacturers - is that they don't really adjust the shape of the shoe for larger sizes. I wear 10.5, and the shoe is long enough, but it could be higher, giving more room in the instep and especially above the toes. My big toe his the top when I walk, but I think that will happen less as the soles squish down.

One of the most comfortable shoes I've purchased. It like moving on clouds.

Wish they were water resistant. But they are comfortable and good for walking.

I am still breaking into these shoes. However, I can feel the cushioning effect.

As a new walker or a seasoned pro I recommend ghost 15's can wait to get the ghost 16 that just came out

The support feels "softer" and my steps have more of a squish feeling. I also bought adrenaline 23s at the same time. The adrenalines aren't quite as soft, but they seem to support better than the ghosts. I am happy the ghosts were on sale, otherwise I'd be more bummed out. These shoes are COMFY, but they aren't going to last quite as long.

I really wanted to love these shoes for everything I do but. Let me tell you about the things I love: Fit right out of the box, the WIDE toe box is AMAZING! I can stand at work all day and not have a sore back or feet. Now for the one thing I am sad about: Living in Oregon, we get rain and these shoes are fairly slippery even on flat surfaces, I was hoping to (flat) trail run in these, but I can hardly go to my mailbox down my driveway after (or during) rain and I slip on my concrete drive. If Brooks could combine this AMAZING WIDE TOE BOX with a Super-grippy tread (I have a pair of trail runners from Salomon I adore but the toe box is too narrow) I'd be 100% a BROOKS customer!

These are my first pair of Brooks. I tried them on in the store and felt the bounce and fell in love. I bought them to take on an overseas trip with lots of walking. I ordered a men's size so that I could get a larger width since wide isn't an option in the color I choose. I also took the advice of other reviewers and ordered a half size larger and they fit great.

This is my third ghost have had 14 13 and 12.these do not seem to have as much cushion.But overall happy and will continue to purchase when a new pair is needed.I like extra cushion to help reduce hip and back pain

These shoes are very comfortable for everyday, normal wear. However, when I use them for short 3-4 mile street walking, my feet feel stressed and tired. I also got a blister from them, but assume this is due to the way they fit around my ankles (I have fat ankles) but again, I love the way they look and feel for everyday wear, so I will keep them and see how they feel in a few more weeks.

It's a supportive running shoe. I'm not that wild about the color, but it was the only color available in my size at the time of purchase.

Like the feel running on both pavement and dirt trails.

They are comfortable and wear better than the hoka I used to wear.
