I am not a serious runner but have been buying Ghosts for years for walking / light runs. Happy with these, they’re on par with what I usually expect (there have been a few over the years I didn’t love but these get the job done.) I have slightly wider feet so usually find the wide sizes more comfortable as they run a little narrow to me. Unfortunately, wide sizes come in fewer color options. I usually just get navy but tried the spa blue - they are not at all as pictured. Much brighter and closer to white than I expected. I ended up keeping them but probably wouldn’t have chosen them if I’d seen the color in person. But doesn’t take away from the comfort!
The black shoe with reflective appliqué is terrific for lowlight running, the laces have reflective thread in them too. Super comfortable heel as well.
Shoes are a blessing! I have bad knees from years of basketball and these shoes have eased the pain enough for me to start going out again. They are also stylish and look very nice. One very happy customer and I will be purchasing more in the future
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing sneaker .Extremely comfortable and very stylish
These are comfortable, however I have to agree with other reviews-they feel roomier than normal. I have to wear extra thick socks, probably should have exchanged for a half size smaller. The ebony, oyster chamo does not look like the picture at all. The laces are a dark grey with black accents, not white/black. The other oyster accents shown in the online picture are black and the overall shoe is much darker than the bluish shade shown. That was a bit of a disappointment, especially after noticing the shoe does match the picture on the shoebox. Definitely not as sharp looking in person. So with the size difference and vastly different images, 3 stars.
Fits just like my Ghost 13 Feel great. I got the Navy with Aqua color on the sides. The aqua is very subtle looks more pale gray. Just a hint of aqua on the sole too. Tried on the light colored version but the hot pink highlights were too eye popping for me.
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.
Ghost 15s have improved my mobility and stamina immensely. I’m a TBI and spinal cord injury survivor. I’ve really struggled with my mobility post accident, until getting my first pair of Ghost 15s. These shoes have helped me get back into the game, and I’m on my way up now. They are very stylish, and feel tailored to my comfort and needs. These shoes are literally upgrading my life by the day. Hats off to the design team of this shoe! I’m very grateful to have found these shoes. Hopefully I will be able to catch a snazzy St. Patrick’s Day pair during the next release. Thanks for being such a great company!
I usually run/walk about 20 miles a week. I do CrossFit, run and teach group fitness. I also have small children. Im on my feet a lot! I need a comfortable sneaker especially being over 30 😅. I have purchased Brooks snekaer/Ghosts for the last 10-12 years. I have to say this design and feel is one the best. I have the 14s and they just didn’t feel as comfortable or cushion-y so I was a bit hesitant to buy them, because; I didn’t want to be disappointed. However, I was pleasantly surprised on the comfort, support and cushion. If you are on the fence because of previous experience(s) don’t be. Brooks has designed a winning running sneaker. I look forward to the next run wild design!!
I absolutely love my ghost 15’s! I’ve worn ghosts for a few years now. I have major feet issues and along with my orthodics the ghost shoes haven’t not hurt or flared up my feet at all. Which to me is just amazing. They last too which is also important to me as I wear mine all day everyday for work. I love they offer a variety of colours also, as I’m not a “girly girl”, so there’s always an option for me and my particular tastes. Brooks also offers regular discounts and sales for those who may not want to pay top dollar but like quality also. So that’s definitely appreciated also. Highly recommend.
