How it ranks
The Brooks Ghost 15 is one of the strongest daily trainers in our data. Durability and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 94 runner reviews and 13 other rated shoes in the Ghost product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Me encanta tanto el zapato que no puedo describirlo correctamente sin sonar parcial. Sienten que te hace sentir como si fueras Usaim Boly (si eres negro). Esa respuesta que puedes lograr si, a diferencia de cualquier cosa que sentí

Overall
My last pair of Brooks ghosts lasted me 450 miles of constant training, both on the track, and on the trail. It’s a great shoe that does great on all manners of surfaces, and I have used them to bring myself from last place on the team, to top 20. 9.5/10.

First Brooks Ghost; I had previously worn the Adrenaline and I typically wear other neutral cushioned shoes. It feels noticeably soft, padded all around, and well-cushioned.
