Customer Reviews Brooks Deleted

My older Ghosts were a great fit, But the new ones feel like the toe box has been shrunken or disappearedeven though my street shoes-size has not changed. Even the soles of the previous years Ghosts look wider in the toe area when placed against the new ones. I have tried a half size bigger but my foot seems too short for it. Fortunately I am not a big runner but use the shoes mainly for cross training. But I do miss the wonderful fit/proportions of the older Ghosts.

I don't usually review purchases, but I think I need to here . I've been wearing Brooks Ghost athletic shoes forever. I have narrow feet w bunions and they are great for me. The 15, not so great. It seems the arch has been moved further back, and it seems like it's cut wider. Love the look of the shoe, I've put my Ghost 14 insoles in and they are perfect! I think you made a mistake by doing modifications to the 15. Especially the arch.

Need more colors for the 4 E but there real comfortable

Loved Brooks 13. I have worn these 15s for a few weeks and have toe pain. Not sure if the toe-box is narrower but I can't wear them any more :(

I had the ghost 14 and really wanted to love the ghost 15 but I was getting lateral foot pain after a couple easy runs. Too much cushion compared to the 14. Had to return

These shoes keep catching and I have fallen once wearing them. They are very comfortable to wear. I think I have purchased the wrong type of shoe.

I liked the way the Ghost 14 fit over the ghost 15. I am not happy with the change. I will keep the 15's which fit ok but I will researching other brands. I have a size 12 4e foot and I have difficulty finding shoes that fit. The Ghost 14 was the best I had found but you decided to discontinue it and change it to the 15 so unfortunately I will have to look elsewhere.

At least they came in my size. They are a little more padded than the new balance 624's, but otherwise the same shoe.

Toe box a bit narrow. Very odd feel upon foot strike as if unbalanced even though stack height is average. Required breaking in to conform to personal bio mechanics. Stiff feel as well. Run 30+ per week and use them as trainers.

They are just okay. I like the narrow fit as I ordered a 2a but the toe box area is too deep and need more support. Also only ONE color was available for my size and width which is sad.

My first experience with Brooks shoes was the Ghost 12 model and I thought they were the most perfect running shoes ever. Although changes were made to each successive model, up until the model 15s, they still were great. Seems like the toe box was extended just a little bit making my usual size 8s a bit too long and this little bit extra makes me feel like I'm going to trip all the time. Not sure if a half size smaller would work, but I'm a little reluctant to try. Aside from this one issue, the shoe is very comfortable. Hoping the next version reverts back to one of the previous model's shape. Kind of a bummer to leave the new 15s untouched and always reach for one of my old pairs.

They were not as cushioned as ghost 13. I was looking for more cushion and plushness.

Feels like less cushioning than previous versions. I was expecting better bounce for a new shoe. I've been using ghost since ghost 6 and this and 12 have been the worst.

Fits different than the 14s. Overall is wider so arch support is off.

I've always loved Ghosts but these seemed to lose their cushioning within 3 months. Disappointing. I wonder if anyone else had the same issue.

After only have any shoes for six months, they're already worn out and falling apart. I mainly use them for walking and the gym. Too expensive to wearing out so fast.

After many years and many pairs, I've ended my love affair with Ghosts. 15 is no longer fits my foot- the shoe is longer and sleeker, especially in the toe area, and is not as stable as past pairs. I purchased a pair of Glycerin 20s, however, so will give them a try. Interestingly, my new Glycerins look a lot like my older Ghosts.

Hurts my feet, definitely won't run in them, just gonna use for walking. Not enough cushion! Why don't you put glycerin cushion in all your styles?? Or at least make it an available option.

Insole is flimsy. Brooks used to send good insole at customer request. Now Customer service suggested to get expensive custom orthotics. Considering the price of this shoes, why should I spend more money. Ghost 11 was good. Ghost 14 was worse. Ghost 15 is a little bit better than 14. Brooks made good shoes. Now quality of Dyad also has gone down. Its insole was the best . Now it has gone worse. Why Brooks is ruining the quality of its products. Very disappointed.

I had a pair of ghosts I bought 10 years ago or so and they were the most comfortable running shoes I've owned. I bought this pair expecting the same, but for some reason there is a hard piece of plastic or something in the back heel part. There's no give and the first time I wore them I got blisters on the back of my heels. I'm highly disappointed, because otherwise they are perfect and extremely comfortable. Because that rigid piece is in there, I worry that even with wear they'll still cause friction on the heel.

These are not nearly as comfortable as the Ghost 13s! I'm so sad! (I have a pair of the 14s as well, but the 13s were absolute perfection, in my opinion.) I'm returning these because they are just too uncomfortable. I walked around my house in them for a bit when they arrived and I found them painful. I've never had to break a pair of Brooks in before - they're always so comfortable right out of the box! The front part of the shoe is more narrow than past versions and the sole is not as soft and cushiony as past versions either. (And as a side note: the color of the sole is silver, not light pink like they look online.

Really wanted to love these shoes & was intrigued by the reviews, but after a short 3 mile run the soles of my feet were killing me. Tried them on the treadmill & had the same pain. My feet hurt as I'm typing this. I am usually a Brooks Glycerin girl, so perhaps this wasn't the right shoe for me. Even a long walk leaves my feet hurting. Overall, pretty disappointing unfortunately!

Toes are going numb with repeated use. Fit ia perfect, so not sure why.

They did not have the arch support that was described.

It's a nice-looking shoe. But the shoe is just too hard. After wearing it for just a little time, the bottom of my feet were sore and I felt like I had a bruised heel. No cushioning at all.
