The St. Patrick's day Ghost ran much smaller, than other designs in same shoe. I had to return them for half a size larger. I bought my usual size 8, had to exchange for 8 1/2. The padding inside also felt more stiff/harder. Once I received the larger size, it was a better fit, in toe area. I've never had issues is sizing before this.

I am back with the Ghost shoes! These Ghost 15 have more cushion and fit better than the 14 which I did not like and returned. I would recommend the toe box be made slightly larger similar to the Ghost 13 construction. Overall much happier with these when running. Shoes are everything to a runner!

These felt good on the treadmill. Not enough cushion for street runs
Sizing runs a little big. I typically wear womens 9 in Nike. The 9's in these were too big. 8.5 would've been good

Definitely a different size than my Ghost 13s. Odd that the sizing has changed. Decorative design is not made of the same material as standard ghosts and have no vents. I don't plan on purchasing decorative versions again. Otherwise good as ghosts always are. Size 13. Which isn't a chioce in the chart below (why?).

The Ghost 12 was my favorite. I bought it many times until it just was not available anymore. All the Ghosts's that followed gave me knee pain or aggravated my sciatica issues. These are the 1st ones since the 12 that offer nice support. I still miss the puffy laces from the old models that provided extra support and stability because they held your foot in place with out loosening up or coming undone as the day goes on.

Runs very wide. I have to wear thick socks to make them work.

Bought this to replace previous Ghost that had worn down. Disappointed to find later version not nearly as good as early one. Sole had been considerably cheapened. Toebox fit tighter so that big toe now hit it, And shoelaces changed so that they no longer stayed tied,

I'm in my 80's so I don't run much anymore but I do get 4 miles a day walking and Ghost 15 is excellent for that too. A minor carp is the laces still need a double bow to stay tied.

After I fractured my left heel years ago, my doctor recommended wearing only supportive shoes such as Brooks. I've been wearing Brooks shoes since the mid-90s so I've worn different Brooks styles over the years. I find Ghost to be a good shoe for my feet, but I have a high arch so perhaps I should have chosen a different style as they are a little snug across the top of my feet. Overall, a good looking shoe and support the bottoms of my feet well.

I wish they would make one in pink the colors they have for women are so manly. We need better colors!

I'm a 5 star reviewer and it pains me to give 4 and I had to send them back. The heel fit fine but the toe box was wider than my 14s. Sloppiness felt unstable. I know I could go narrow but worry the heel would be too tight.

The latest generation of the long line of the Ghost. I've run in every model since it's birth and now the Ghost 15. This model fits true to size with a tad bit more width in the toe box. Heal is snug and well cushioned. I like the flat laces but could be longer. Being a lightweight runner I'm not sure I get full benefit of the new LoftV2 energy return through my stride though there is good return on toe off on uphills. For heal strikers there is good energy return in what is a well cushioned shoe. I would recommend the Ghost 15 as a trainer on most any surface.

Comfortable but the sizing is a little off for me. I had the ghost 14 in size 8 and they were snug and hurt to run so I sized up in these to 8.5 and they're too big.

All I wear is the Ghost every day. I have multiple foot, knee and hip issues. This is the ONLY shoe I can wear without pain. I know this shoe is made for running but every year I am disappointed with the color choices. I would love to see a pretty pink or lighter blue shoe in a solid color with a LIGHT sole ( not black). I think a shoe in different shades of the same color would be pretty. I have another friend who wears their ghosts every day all day because of foot issues. I already have black, grey, off white, navy please make something pretty and feminine for us seniors! I don't want crazy patterns and color combinations. I don't want a shoe that screams "look at me". Other big name athletic shoe companies make some very pretty color combinations but I can't wear them they are just not comfortable. I would buy a lot more Ghost shoes if the colors were more attractive. I am sure there other seniors out there that feel the same.

Never disappointed with Brooks, I have been wearing Brooks for more than thirty years. No comparison with any other brand.

I have used the Ghost series of Brooks shoes for many years. The 10 1/2 size has always been a perfect fit for me. I ordered a pair of Ghost 15 and they seem at least a 1/2 or possibly a full size too large. I have tried various lacing modifications and the lace eyes are almost touching.
The laces are also extremely long and require a very large bow to keep them off the ground.

A lot of cushion but don't feel balance. Maybe when the shoe breaks in more.

Those shoes are really awesome. However, my plantar fascia still bothers me a little bit. I was hoping that would not pop up with these shoes.

I'm a power walker. It's a very decent shoe but I prefer my Hoka Gaviota 4. The base (landing area) seems a bit narrow. I'll use them for normal walking.

As a devoted consumer of the Ghost series, I find the Ghost 15 to be a step backward from the 14. To start with, the fit is not quite the same - the 15 feels a bit oversize relative to the same size in the 14, and the 15 is slightly less comfortable overall. Also, I really prefer the look of the black/white/silver color combo, which was changed to a less attractive black/blackened pearl/white with the 15.

Shoes are very comfortable, I had to get the XX wide as the wide were still too tight. I have noticed this with many running shoes lately and for years I have always gotten a standard width shoe. There is a plastic piece in the front of the toe box that sometimes making a clicking noise but does not affect the performance of the shoe. Good support and cushioning in the shoe with a light weight to it.

I wanted to keep them. They felt great, except they put pressure on the inside of my big toes at the base of my toenail. (medial aspect of my big toe). This grew worse with the more time I wore them. Seems the "curve of the toe box" was in the wrong place for me.
