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 .

They are narrower in the toe box than the 14. I also feel like they seemed slightly stiffer than the 14.

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.

Not near as much cushion as my previous Saucony's. Not sure the quality is as good as it was a few years ago when I wore Ghosts.

I don't know why has changed but I'm frustrated with the inconsistency in the fit
The shoes are not the same size left and right and the arch is like a "bump" where my arch is
Very uncomfortable and the right shoe is longer than the left shoe!

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.

I want the 13s back please. At the very least the 14s. Why such a change? They were so good!!

Been wearing Ghost since the Ghost 8, all the way up to this one! It seems Brooks is really good at consistently being inconsistent. Every year the newest Ghost would change to the point of disappointment! The last Ghost I ran in and like was the 13. the Ghost 14's did some serious damage to my feet. I have since moved on from Brooks to Hoka but thought I'd give them one last try and purchased the Ghost 15 and the Hyperion Elite 2. . . Both were disappointing and in my opinion over hyped via marketing. Don't waste your money. Brooks, please go back to the drawing board, get real & random runners to try them and get their feed back not just your employees. I was faithful to Brooks for more than 8 years, ran NYC, Chicago and Boston marathons all with Brooks but after the horrible experience with the Ghost 14, never again for this competitive distance runner!

The Ghost 15 were not comfy to me. The balls of my feet hurt. Felt like I was running on hard plastic. They felt like my Ghost 14s that are 2 years old. I've loved Brooks and have sworn by them for a few years. As a matter of fact, that's all I have for running and work. But unfortunately won't be wearing the Ghost unless they change.

I'm not sure what has happened to this shoe but I'm going to move on. Wide shoes have been narrow and the soft cushy feeling they used to have are no more. My feet and legs hurt. Sadly disappointed.

I've worn Ghosts most of my life. The 14 and now 15s just aren't the same. They are hard, not the cushioned feeling that I loved over all the years.. Very disappointing.

I will start by saying I do NOT run. I buy the holiday shoes because they are fun and usually so comfortable! I bought this year's new St. Patrick's Day shoe (2023) and they are adorable! I love everything about the shoe, except the comfort. It's not there anymore. I heard they did a complete redesign of the Ghost 15. It just feels firm and not as comfortable as the other versions. I'm torn as to keep them because they are so cute, or return them because they are not comfortable.

Very comfortable, although did not match the picture shown on the website. The laces were completely different than showed, as well as the detail colors. Areas that showed light grey stripes were all black, more navy blue color than a darker gray. Over all disappointed in the final product.

Seems Brooks is leaning into the senior market with styles. That's fine, I'm just not there yet.

I used to like Brooks shoes. The Ghost 15 is way wider in the forefoot, causing sliding side to side; too much room. And about a 1/2 size larger than typical Brooks sizing. Not a good fit, even for a every day runner! I used to run in Brooks shoes, especially as a larger runner with big feet (250lbs, size 15EE) but I've had to send back the Ghost 15 and the Adrenaline GTS 22. Come on Brooks, stop overhauling your shoes!

Time for me to find a new brand. I started with ghost 11 and it was a great shoe. I have wide feet and some neuropathy. The pins and needles and stabbing pain disappeared with the 11's and I bought as many pairs as I could find after they were discontinued. Each new edition has gotten harder and tighter. I bought 2 pairs of the ghost 15's but they are too hard for me so I gave away.

What I wouldn't do for a pair of ghost 12's, such a beautiful shoe. And I miss that little tongue loop that kept the tongue from slidding to the side. Every ghost after the 12 has been a disappointment. I now buy saucony, quility and they gusset the tongue on all their shoes ;) Fix your shoes brooks and I may be back.

I have worn Brooks Ghost for many years. I wear a size 15EE. But, I had to return the newest Brooks Ghost 15. I ordered my normal Brooks Ghost size, 15EE. It's about a 1/2 size bigger, and the toe box is much too roomy; it's wider and "taller" than previous versions of the Ghost. It allowed my foot to slip around just while walking. Now, I do not like snug, tight fitting shoes. But, the extra room in the toe box allows my foot to slide forward and side to side. Related to style, I dislike the flat laces (personal choice). I also do not like the tapered corners on tongue. To the fit, I only walked, not run in these, but I noticed the tongue to be a little short, and the tapered corners and not gusset, made it feel like it was slipping down into the shoe. Maybe nobody else has had these issues, just my personal experience. Disappointed because I have been a longtime Ghost fan, and always relied on the fit and style of Brooks for my big feet. Now, I'm looking for an alternative.
