Ghost 15 Running Shoe - Men's

Great

My second pair of these. Just love them. Very comfortabel and great for painfree running.

Great running trainer. Used for the first time on 5k park run, and found them very comfortable. Looking forward to achieving an new PB.

Solid running shoe for dry weather

A solidly built and reasonably comfy running shoe. The heel support is good with no rubbing at all and the arch support fits nicely. The sole is a bit firmer than I would like and they are not as cushioned as I was hoping. My main issue with them is the almost complete lack of grip on wet tarmac. Running up any sort of incline on wet tarmac results in your feet slipping backwards with every step. They are, however, fine in the dry.

Excellent fit

The Ghost has been my go to road shoe for several years now. The 15 is the best fit I have found for my broad feet and are very comfortable from the outset. Great support, grip and stability.

Looks great poor training shoe

I bought these shoes thinking they would be a good daily trainer but I was disappointed them the cushioning in them is hard no give in the foam. They look great but I wouldn’t recommend them.

Easy on the feet

A good training shoe. Nice and comfortable. Easy on the feet.

Great everyday running shoe

The Ghost has always been a great everyday running shoe and the 15 is no different. This is my second pair of 15’s in my rotation and so far they do not disappoint. They just do what they need to do and do it well, enabling me to cruise through the miles for my next marathon.

The Brooks Ghost 15 running shoe stands out as an exceptional choice for daily runners who appreciate comfort, stability, and durability on mixed terrain. Here’s a closer look at how it performs for a daily 2-mile run on a dirt road, especially if you’re running alongside your dog. Comfort and Cushioning The Ghost 15 is known for its plush cushioning, thanks to Brooks' DNA LOFT v2 midsole, which provides a soft yet responsive feel. This feature is ideal for a 2-mile morning run, as it absorbs impact well without feeling too soft. The cushioning is particularly beneficial for runs on dirt and gravel, as it smooths out the uneven surfaces, minimizing discomfort and the impact on your joints. Even if your route includes occasional pavement stretches, the shoe adapts well. Stability and Traction One of the highlights of the Ghost 15 is its stability, which makes it well-suited for mixed gravel and dirt roads. The shoe's outsole features a segmented crash pad design, ensuring a steady and stable feel. The shoe adapts to the natural movement of your foot, maintaining balance on uneven surfaces and reducing the likelihood of slipping. This is an excellent feature for runners who enjoy trails and unpaved paths, providing confidence in every step, even if the road surface varies in stability. The outsole's durable rubber provides good traction on dry dirt and gravel. While it may not be designed specifically as a trail shoe, the Ghost 15 can easily handle light, uneven surfaces without compromising grip. If your dog occasionally pulls or veers off, the shoe's stability and traction give you greater control and balance. Fit and Breathability Brooks has updated the upper in the Ghost 15, providing a more flexible and breathable engineered mesh. It wraps around your foot comfortably, without any pressure points or areas that feel restrictive. For morning runs when temperatures may be cooler, the shoe’s upper material strikes a good balance, keeping your feet warm but ventilated enough as you build up heat during the run. Durability The Ghost series is known for its durability, and the Ghost 15 is no exception. The reinforced areas in the heel and forefoot improve the shoe’s lifespan, which is great if you're running on abrasive surfaces like gravel that can wear down less-durable shoes. Brooks has maintained its high-quality construction in the Ghost 15, so you can expect this shoe to withstand regular use, especially for shorter daily runs on dirt paths. Final Thoughts Overall, the Brooks Ghost 15 is a versatile, reliable option for runners who want a comfortable, stable shoe for mixed-terrain runs. It performs exceptionally well on dirt and gravel, providing the necessary traction, cushioning, and durability for morning outings with your dog. While it’s not a dedicated trail shoe, it offers enough stability to handle light off-road conditions comfortably, making it a solid choice for daily runners who want one shoe to cover a range of surfaces.
