Brooks Ghost 15 - Opinion after 50+ miles

The Ghost 15 is a supremely comfortable daily trainer with a high drop which makes it most suitable for heel strikers.

It’s a very safe choice when it comes to bread and butter mileage trainers because of its luxurious upper and its consistent fit/ride from version to version.

The 15th version of the Ghost has a new, DNA Loft v2 midsole which makes the shoe a little bit heavier and gives it a firmer ride.

As a result, the Ghost 15 feels better during faster paces but not as comfortable during slow-paced runs.

It's my 1st pair. I have hip problems and a bone on the outside of my foot has been bothering me. Got these in a wide and they feel amazing! I won't be using them for running or anything. Just for standing at work. I think them being more firm will be better for me. I think some people are looking too far into it. Juat get them! They're great!

I found a pair of Ghost 14's at a Ross and paid $45. Really comfortable and supportive.🤙

Ghost 14🎉 any day ! One of the Best Running Shoes Brooks has ever made.... hands up🎉🎉

Agree, the 14's were my favorite ghost & the 15's are way too firm & heavy

[johndailey]

The Ghost is a great shoe. Consistent and in my rotation.

The G15 is great for feet with hallux limitus/rigidus which is arthritic big toes because of the firm support.

So sad about this shoe. I've been buying and running in Ghosts for years and this is the first one that has made my feet hurt. They are more narrow and more firm than before. 13 was the sweet spot for me, but unfortunately, my two pair are mostly worn out. I'm shopping for a different brand. I used to love these shoes so much.

I was waiting for this review for several months. Thanks. It's too bad they made it heavier, firmer, and more expensive. That's the trifecta that'll end me in my 40s. 🤣

[ksehjeh]

so what i got from this is that for example a novablast does the same thing the ghosts do, but better. Why wouldnt you want some bounce in your ride as long as it doesnt compromise on stability?

[compatrini]

Cant finish my long runs with G15. My feet hurt like hell.

[GregSzarama]

For someone who doesn't run often but walks a lot, would these Brooks Ghost 15 be recommended?

[juschill]

Thanks for doing the review. I just bought these via Amazon for $109, and am looking forward to trying them! What country do you live in? It looks beautiful!!

I just bought Brooks 15, I'm a bit bothered by the excess insole in the inner arch of the foot. I have the impression that they supinate my foot a bit and it simply bothers me a bit. Does anyone have an idea what causes this, should I replace the insole or should I adjust it during training?

[ericaroundtheworld]

Hi I am looking for a pair of shoes that would allow me to do off ice skating turning / jumping / landing giving cushion, and stability left and right of the ankle /heel . Also want to do some rope jumping . Do u have any shoes u would recommend? Thanks . Would u get this pair for type of training I want to participate in or would u do Asics gel kayano 30 or brook ghost 15 ? Thanks

Don't like ghost 15 no comfort when standing

[atmaramsawant]

Are they on par with saucony endorphin shift series?

[muhammadtaghioladhamzehzar]

I think you just wore the shoes to take the video, as they are clearly 1-2 sizes larger than your feet

[jazzman]
