Best gortex running/walking shoe to date
Tried many brands of Gortex running/walking shoes for everyday wear including inclement weather. Acknowledging that a great fit in footwear is very individual, here's why I'm stating this is best for me. Sole has soft cushion. Definitely softer than gortex shoes labeled for trail running/walking. Bottom of shoe has good traction but isn't greatly serrated and deep so that particles get stuck on the sole. Going up and down inclines and stairs are comfortable. Sides are supportive but not stiff. In black, the shoe is stylish enough to wear in the office; is a great travel shoe for almost all weather occasions (haven't tried winter snow). Lightweight enough. As other reviews have stated, it's perhaps a few millimeters on the short side so consider going up a 1/2 size if current size is tight. I did not have to size up. So good I'm buying a second pair.

Good dailys
I've switched from Nike shoes to Brooks Ghost as my everyday trainers, and the difference is remarkable. These shoes are soft on the soles and provide excellent support for my feet. Their comfort and durability are impressive. Since the Brooks Ghost is well-known as a long-distance running shoe, it performs well during long walks and maintains its comfort even after multiple wears. I recommend choosing a half-size up, as I did. They are lightweight, but the traction is so-so for off-road conditions.

Best running shoes that I've ever had
After lacing up the **Brooks Ghost 15** for my runs over the past three days, I'm thoroughly impressed. These shoes strike a perfect balance between comfort and performance, making them a standout choice for runners of all levels.The first thing I noticed was the exceptional cushioning. The updated midsole offers a plush yet responsive ride that absorbs impact without sacrificing energy return. Whether I'm on a long-distance run or a quick jog, my feet feel supported and energized throughout.The fit is another highlight. The new engineered mesh upper hugs my feet comfortably, providing a secure fit without any unwanted pressure points. Plus, the breathability is top-notch, keeping my feet cool and dry even on warmer days.Traction and durability are also commendable. The outsole grips various surfaces well and shows little sign of wear after multiple runs, promising longevity and consistent performance.Overall, the **Brooks Ghost 15** is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable, versatile running shoe that doesn’t skimp on comfort. Highly recommended.

Great Running shoes for bigger people
Shoe quality is great and has been holding up well after a few months of occasional running and walking. These are my daily drivers, so comfort is extremely important, and they offer the best shoe soles I have ever felt. As a 6'4", 275 lb guy, I’m used to shoes wearing down quickly and causing pain on long runs. However, these shoes have given me no foot pain and little to no shin splints. Overall, I would definitely buy these again—unless they come out with a newer, better model.

Might be the most comfortable running shoes ever
I've worn pretty much every brand of running shoe during my lifetime.... Brooks, Asics, UA, Nike, Reebok, Saucony, Adidas...and over the last decade or so have basically stuck with Brooks, Asics and UA, with a few pairs of Saucony. I have major knee issues and it's difficult to find a brand that consistently works for me so I've kind of jumped around to whatever feels best. For the past 4-5 yrs it's mainly been Asics and UA because around that time Brooks made some major changes to their design that just didn't work for me. About 6 months ago I decided to give them another try as I really liked the look of the glycerin stealth fit. Really nice looking pair of shoes and very lightweight but the kind of sock fit, for lack of a better description, felt somewhat loose. Wear them a good bit but when running they just aren't snug enough so decided to try another style. I've had a few pairs of Ghosts over the years so went with these. Well, it was a great decision! These are amazing. Lightweight, super comfy and supportive without being too constricting or too loose. Not sure what the newest model will hold but these are freaking awesome 👍

Super Comfy and Supportive
Love these shoes. I walk an average of 12,000 steps a day while wearing a weight vest. Plus cardio and weight lifting on top of that.I need comfy and supportive shoes.These are amazing. I feel like I'm walking on air. They are so light and comfortable, and they don't sacrifice support. I have no pain in my feet on long walks and workouts with these shoes.They also air out very well. This helps prevent my feet from becoming super sweaty.I also don't have issues with the back of the shoes digging into the back of my ankles. I've had that issue with a lot of shoes in the past, not with these.And they are stylish enough that I'm not worried about changing into other shoes if I'm going to grab food or run an errand.Overall, very happy with these shoes. Will buy more pairs when I wear these ones out.
