I have been wearing Brooks Ghost for over 10 years and have been anxiously waiting for the ghost 15 release. When they arrived I was soooo excited that is until I tried them on. They are super cute but that’s all. I like the more tapered forefoot but they are very long. I then ordered a half size down and hoped for the best. Yes, the fit is better but they hit the ground very hard, have little arch support and the cushioning and inside are uncomfortable. So, it’s back to my old shoes for now I guess. Returning these tomorrow. Thanks Zappos for making it easy.

These shoes are great, but the sizing is a little bit off compared to prior versions. I wore a size 10 in the Ghost 10, 11, 12, and 13 models. I also did in some colors of the Ghost 14, but there was a lot of variability in the fit of the colors. The Ghost 15 seems to be more consistent across colors, but it runs long and wide, but mainly long. I found a better fit by going down a half size or by wearing the narrow version of my typical past size. There is a seam on the inside that can reduce the height of the toe box area, so this can be challenging with orthotics. It depends on how that seam runs. I've noticed it on some pairs but haven't had issues with other pairs.

What did they do to this sneaker? It does not fit the same as previous versions. Disappointing.

Have been wearing Brooks Ghosts for several years. Always have been comfortable with good arch support. These really disappointed me. Lacked cushioning and minimal arch support. Also ordered a pair of 14s with same issues. I use them for training in the gym and walking outdoors. Returning both.

Read the other reviews. Don’t know why people do not like them. They are just as comfortable as the other versions of Ghost. Love all the different color combos. I do size up half a size. Just FYI, I’m a treadmill runner. Between 3-6 miles. Would recommend these!

These were my first pair of Brooks and I couldn't be happier with them! I'm in healthcare and stand for 12+ hours on a med/surg unit (iykyk), so these are AMAZING! I feel like they have a little spring in them when I'm walking. Kind of gives you a burst of energy with each step. Highly recommend!

As a podiatrist, I do not recommend this shoe for anyone who needs arch support. This shoe is not very supportive. It would be a good fit for someone with a more neutral arch. For those who overpronate, I do not recommend this shoe. I tried the shoe with a custom orthotic, and I still had pain at my posterior tibial tendon and arch. It also is somewhat narrow through the forefoot, so if you have neuroma or bunions also do not recommend. I have gotten a lot of compliments on how cute they are though.

I've been wearing Ghosts forever and this is just one more outstanding shoe in the line. They don't feel much different than the 14s. Which is a good thing. I have a really high arch and this shoe is super comfortable. It's a great mix between comfort and speed. After their running lives are over, they turn into work shoes. I'm on my feet all day. I don't wear anything else. Order a half size bigger than your regular shoe size And whoever decides on all those shades of purple, I love you!

Why must companies change what isn't broken? I've worn a7.5 in the Ghost line of shoes for years, but now they fit differently and don't feel as good on my runs. My old 13s feel more comfortable. Although I am a fan of a big toebox, the new ghost 15 has a longer toebox in the 13 and does not fit the same. I also noticed sore calves after running, which I haven't experienced before. I'm going to give them a couple more runs before I return them. Hopefully I'll get used to them.

I have been wearing Brooks Ghost for about ten years because they fit my foot the best. I am not much of a runner but the support and the comfort work for the walking and the other physical work-outs I do. My feet are very happy.

Love the shoe. But hate the shoe laces. The material of your laces changed over the last several years and they don't stay tied.

I wore my Ghost Brooks in a 5k walk. When our group started training a couple had Brooks Ghost. By race time everyone in our group had purchased a pair of Brooks Ghost. One of our group is in her sixties; the rest are middle to late seventies. The Brooks Ghost is great for walking! (Our trainer is in the tank top. She ran that day and didn't wear her Brooks.)

The fit and size were fine. I've worn "Ghost" since they first came out. After the Ghost 14 were stiff as a board and uncomfortable, I had hopes for the 15s. Unfortunately, the Ghost 15 is still just too rigid and without enough cushion for me.

I cannot recommend these shoes enough. I've been searching for a new running shoe forever and tried different brooks styles, nikes, addidas, and hokas and ended up returning them all. The minute I put these on I knew the were it. Pair these with feeture socks and you're set for anything (or at least distances up to 13 mi - I don't run more than that).

Since my first pair of Brooks I've never run in another brand. I've been obsessed with the Launch style and tried the Ghost 14 last year, my only complaint was it was heavier than the launch, well the Ghost 15 is much more lightweight AND still provides the stability we all love in the Ghost. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED especially if you are Irish or just love St. Patrick's Day! These are the perfect sneakers for a Shamrockin' Run

I have worn Brooks Ghost sneakers 12 and 14 with satisfaction for years. The 15 has a sloppy feel with resulting pronation, lack of stability and resultant knee issues.

I have had three pair of Brooks ghost 14 and loved them. Now I couldn't find those and had to get the ghost 15. I genuinely, absolutely hate them. They make my feet mostly and legs hurt like nothing I have ever experienced. I have tried three separate times, days apart with the same result. Would love a refund after spending that much on shoes I cannot wear.

My foot surgeon recommended the Brooks Ghost 15 after bunion surgery, and I love these shoes. She wears them daily for work, and I understand why! They fit close to my feet, not clunky, not tight, and the support is just right for me. I've worn many other brands, including Hoka, and this shoe is my absolute favorite. Plus, they look great! They're very comfortable, and you really should try them.

When I first tied on my first pair of Brooks shoes it was about 10 years ago. Phenomenal fitting shoe for me since I have high arches and wear 2E Width shoes. I never look down at my feet since I started wearing Ghost with discomfort. Ghost shoes have been great for me and it's hard to stray away from something great. However, every couple of years the shoe sizing changes just like most manufacturers do, but we wait until they bring back what we like again. My complaint and only complaint just like many of the reviews I read is color selection. I drool over the many other colors offered but not for those who wear 2E and 4E. The selection is between black and white basically. I know that Brooks can't offer every color that they would in regular fitting shoes but I know it could improve. Year after year with everyone complaining about shoe color selection, nothing done about it. We're just asking to open the color gap a little more. It's look and feels like we thrown scraps and left over colors. I know the company doesn't believe this and it is not their view, but persons with wider feet are not deformed or handicapped, We just have wider feet. I just believe the company can do better in color selection and still make the same profits, if not more. Anything would be an improvement. I realize you can't get what everybody wants and desires. I like really wild and bright colors. I would settle for in between colors. Anything besides the year-after-year selection. Currently, there's many options with black and white colors and combinations that are not available in 2E or 4E that are available in regular sizes. Thanks a good product & and thanks for listening.

I've been running in Ghost for a few years. I have a narrow heel with wide toes and they fit me well with no slippage on the heel.

first off, I can't run. my right leg has been amputated. I bought these shoes for comfort and support for my left leg. And to be a little stylish in PT when I work with my prosthetic leg. These shoes accomplish these goals.

Love the shoe. Normally wear size 7 in all my ghosts, but did have to size down to 6.5 in both ghost 15 I have purchased. Ghosts are my favorite.

These are my favorite, best fit, most comfortable Brooks. Great for wide feet 8W, no toe scrunch. So I ordered back up pair in case they make "improvements" in the future.

Light weight. Great cushion and feel in the sole. I am not a big guy and not very strong, and I am not a great runner, but I run 5-10k almost every morning. I was using ASICS as my daily runners for a long time, but decided to try these out. So far, I think I'll be sticking with the Brooks for running. They just feel so smooth and light and I dig the bounce. My only critique, or maybe something I need to get used to, is that the back feels just a tiny bit low. I don't really notice it while running, though.
