My review is for the company and their lack of quality control. I currently wear a men's shoe Item # 1102411D033. (I am a REAL woman and cannot find women's shoes to fit me). They are the most comfortable and best fitting shoe I have owned. They are a men's 10.5 Medium. I wear them daily. Searching for new shoes, the Ghost men's 11 Wide are too narrow and too short. My toe goes touches the end of the shoe and too narrow. I was told when ordering to start at a 11.5 WW. What happened to Brooks shoes. Disappointing.

I've owned 5-6 pair of Ghost shoes and these just aren't for me. Feels a little more narrow and they just aren't working out. May have to go to an older model instead.

The toe portion of the shoe is too narrow. The shoe therefore squeezes my bunion and aggravates my neuromas. I will be returning the shoe as soon as possible. I love Brooks shoes. I have no idea why you keep changing the styles. I can't seem to get the same style shoe from one six months to the next. I like the one I am currently wearing, but am in need of a replacement. I also do not want any color except solid black. No grey or white do dads please. Just black. It is bad enough that a tennis shoe is the only shoe I can comfortably wear-- but to have to advertise them in gaudy pinks, blues, and neons is abhorrent to me.

it's too light and does not have enough support. The Ghost 14 was better. I regret buying it

These shoes are a safety hazard. I have brought Ghosts for years- but the laces on these are so long- I have fallen 4 times since I purchased them. In order to make the shoes fit the laces need to be pulled so tight that tying them makes these large loops that I've tripped on. If you get these- I recommend buying a size down in width or replacing the laces.

I purchased the Ghost 15 after wearing the 14 for several purchases. Was disappointed with 15. Got my usual size (8D) but my gate felt different and developed lower back pain. Returning them.

I am a long time Ghost wearer. I loved all of them through the Ghost 13s. Unfortunately the 14s and 15s both slip on my heel. The heel sits a lot higher in the shoe than in the older models.

I am not a runner. I have had 9 leg surgeries including BLE knee replacements 5 months ago. These shoes hurt my knees so bad that I would never wear them again. I have requested a refund and I am in the process of returning them.

Ghost line inconsistent sizing & inconsistent quality, not good value.
Above rating is experience with 3 shoes:
Ghost 12 10-2E perfect fit, great quality still use them for 1 to 2 mile run or walks. Perfect condition after snow, rain, etc easily 1500 miles. Great value.
Ghost 13 10-2E very tight, feel 1/2 size small, low quality (split open on sides near toe box), as well heel padding wore out causing abrasions. Bought these when G12's had 750 miles. Never comfortable, put about 750 painful miles on them hoping they would loosen up (they didn't). Only wore them in dry conditions. Ending up giving them to a homeless guy who lost his shoes. Terrible value.
Ghost 15 10-2E very loose, feel 1/2 size large. My feet slide around. Not sure about quality as I recently purchased them. Unknown value. They are noticeably longer than G12's when placed against wall side by side. Also shape of toe box changed compared to G12's & G13's. much narrower, so that is probably why Brooks made them longer.
I'm wearing the same socks in each shoe; at one point I used all 3 on same day as comparison.
At this point, I doubt I will buy another Brooks product since fit & quality are unknown.
Ratings below are for Ghost 15 10-2E.

I'm not sure what Brooks is doing, but I put my Ghost 14s side by side with these, and the size difference was crazy!! I think the 15s were an inch and half longer!! Very disappointing because where I live it is difficult for me to get anywhere to make returns.

I have been wearing Ghosts for years and LOVED them, up until the 15. With the changes in this shoe, I have developed plantar fasciitis and need to find new shoes. The heel cushion is not enough for me and the insole does not offer enough support. I will be on the hunt for any 14s in my size and stock up to use them!

Definitely not what I expected in a shoe for the price. I bought these for work and wanted to use my Hoka's for working out. I got these and tried them on the treadmill and the next day my heel and the ball of my foot was hurting. I have been wearing them to work for a week now and they cause my feet to hurt. I'm sticking with my Hokas for sure.

I expected a comfortable shoe plus higher quality since my only shoe from Brooks has been the Revel 5. I have 4 pairs-love and live in them!!
I also didn't like the construction around the toe area and the tongue is too large in length and thickness. Who needs that? Unfortunately I returned them. Still trying to find the right Brooks for me.

Ghost 13 was better shoe. The glove like fit squeezes my feet, no matter the width I buy. Miss the previous versions.

My left side of my foot under pinkie toe is seriously bruised every single time I put these shoes on. I've bought brooks shoes for almost 2 decades and have never had this problem. Is this shoe made differently now? Very unhappy spending money on this. I can't wear them anymore.

Not satisfied at all with Brooks' recent changes of the Ghost. My recent 15s are slightly big and don't hug/support my foot and ankle. My feet have taken a significant decline in health and I truly believe I can blame Brooks for this. Overrated and overpriced and I've bought maybe 10 pair for myself and 20 for my wife. We are trying Asics and OnCloud next.

The toe box was way too big for my foot, ended up with bad blisters the very first run. If they weren't so dirty I'd try to return them.

I bought a Ghost 15, size 15 and it is too narrow for a size 15, I don't understand how they don't have a Wide option,

I bought these because they had such great reviews for people on their feet for long shifts. My feet have been hurting so I wanted to try these. The padding feels thin and very little support. By the end of my 12 hour shift I couldn't wait to get these shoes off of my feet. I was a little scared when I first put these on to go to work. I was thinking they didn't feel too good on my feet but I gave them a try anyway and paid for it. I wasted good money on shoes I wore one time. Not happy,

I prefer the Ghost 14. I have worn Ghost for years, but this is the first time I have not enjoyed the new version. They are far too wide and roomy. I have to pull the laces so tight just to get them to fit somewhat snugly on my feet. This leads to huge lengths of shoelace flopping around and needing to be tucked under the other laces so I don't end up tripping on them. Not a good design! I just purchased another pair of Ghost 14 because that design was much better. Please review and adjust for these design changes. Thank you.

Not the same as the previous Ghosts. Way too much cushion on lateral border and doesn't fit like a neural shoe. Wish you wouldn't have changed the shoe so much from previous models!

I've been wearing ghost for years, they have really helped with my Planters F. The new ghost 15 just are cutting it, my feet hurt so bad each time I try to wear them. I'm not sure what happened but they are definitely not the same.
