Are they roomy enough for orthodocs?

Hi Debora. The Ghost 15 is roomy enough for orthotics. You will always want approx. 1/2 in. of space (a thumbs width) between the end of your big toe and the end of the shoe. This often means sizing up your running shoes 1/2 of a size from what your normal size. Orthotics can take up additional space within the shoe depending on what it is designed for.

how do I wash my ghost 15's?

Hi Lisa. We recommend avoiding washing machines and (especially) dryers, but you can hand wash your shoes. Here are some tips as well as a link to an article that goes in greater depth: 1. Brush the bottom of your shoes to remove as much mud and dirt as possible. 2. Remove the shoelaces. 3. Gently use a damp cloth or brush to clean the uppers. 4. Rinse with warm water. 5. Remove the insoles and clean and dry them separately. 6. Stuff your shoes with newspaper. This helps them maintain shape and decreases drying time.

What is the heel to toe mm diference?

Hi Betty! The midsole drop in the Ghost 15 is 12mm. The stack height in the heel is 24mm and 12mm in the forefoot.

I got the 9.5 Ghost 15, just like the G13 and G11 I have been wearing for years. These 15s definitely are longer! Is that a thing with these new ones? Should I go smaller?

Thank you for reaching out. There have been changes in the midsole in the Ghost 14 and Ghost 15 which may appear to fit different in the length of the shoe. We recommend at least a thumb nail's length between your big toe and the end of the shoe. If you're getting more than that, you may want to consider changing to a smaller size.

Which two womens brooks are most supportive for knees? And hips

Thank you for reaching out. The footbed and insoles of all of our shoes have the same arch height and arch support. Our shoe styles in our inventory are split into 2 sections, Neutral and Support. Our Support styles include our GuideRails technology, which supports your whole body in its natural stride while keeping excess movement in check. Insoles or orthotics give you support directly under the arch. Our sock-liners are removable so that you can input your own insole or orthotic to achieve personalized arch support. If you are unsure of what type of shoe you need, we recommend having your gait analyzed at a specialty running store. You can find one in your area through our retail store finder, found at https://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/store-locator/. If you are unable to visit a local store, we recommend that you take a few minutes to complete our shoe finder quiz at https://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/shoefinder/.

Which shoes are good for flat and sensitive feet?

When we talk about support what we are referring to is not the height of the arch, but rather the way the shoe supports your gait/movement. Running shoes do not typically have an active shape coming into the foot - shoes that sometimes feel like the arch has a different height may actually just have a slimmer, tighter fit that hugs in the arch area. While all our shoes have the same arch height and arch support, our shoe styles are split into two categories, Neutral and Support. The support in running shoes is different than the support of insoles or orthotics. Our Support styles feature our GuideRails technology, which supports your whole body in its natural stride while keeping excess movement in check. Insoles or orthotics give you support directly under the arch. Our sockliners are removable so that you can input your own insole or orthotic to achieve personalized arch support. If you are unsure of what type of shoe you need, we recommend having your gait analyzed at a specialty running store.

which shoe is the best for standing on concrete all day?

Hi Barbi! Our shoes, including the Ghost 15, are designed with the run in mind, but they can work great for many activities! For long periods of standing, we recommend an option with a lot of cushion, like the Glycerin 20 or Glycerin GTS 20. Neutral and GTS refer to the support in the shoe. The GTS version has our GuideRail support system, which is intended to help support runners who overpronate (feet/ankles roll inward). We recommend the neutral model if you do not overpronate.

Is this the best Brooks shoe for arch support?

Hi Charlotte! The footbed and insoles of all of our shoes have the same arch height and arch support. Our shoe styles are split into two sections, Neutral and Support. The support in running shoes is different than the support of insoles or orthotics.

While our other shoes are built with running as the main purpose, we do have many customers that have been happy with using our running gear for walking.

Our only slip-resistant models are the Addiction Walker 2, Addiction Walker V-Strap 2, and Addiction Walker Suede, each of which has an outsole that has been certified (SATRA TM144:2011) for slip resistance.

How is this shoe compare to the glycerin stealth 20? Fit cushion the ankle material. I love my glycerin and worried if I switch I will be disappointed and there are no other color choices I like except the white. I used to wear levitate II

Hi Jodi! The Ghost 15 will have a slighter firmer midsole as compared to the Glycerin StealthFit 20. The Glycerin StealthFit 20 features our softest, most cushioned midsole featuring our DNA LOFT v3. The fit of the Ghost 15 is a classic fit like most running shoes, whereas the StealthFit is more of a socklike, stretchy material. If you would like to try the Ghost 15, but are worried about being disappointed, we do have a phenomenal return policy which allows you to try our gear out for your normal runs and walks, inside or outside. If it does not work, we offer free pre-paid return labels on orders to send them back within 90 days for worn items and 1 year for unworn items. Even if you get them dirty or lose the box we can still take them back with our free labels via FedEx or USPS for a full refund.

This enhanced fit continues to combine the balance of stretch and structure to allow the shoe to move comfortably and securely with your foot. The midsole cushioning has been updated to the DNA LOFT v2 foam for an even lighter-weight softness.

I am a hairdresser, and I would love to wear these everyday for long hours on my feet but because off all the small hairs that falls after haircuts I can’t due to the mesh. Ever thought of an all leather shoe?

Hi Rhonda! We do currently offer an all-leather shoe, which is the Addiction Walker 2. However, this shoe does have very different support than the Ghost 15. We recommend checking out the Ghost 14 GTX as an option that will have the same support and cushioning as the Ghost 15, but includes a waterproof liner that should help keep out hair as well. Take a look at the Ghost 14 GTX here: https://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/ghost-14-gtx-womens-cushion-running-shoe/120355.html

Thank you for reaching out. The Ghost 15 will be similar to its previous edition. We've refined the fit of the upper for an even more distraction-free run and a more secure fit. This enhanced fit continues to combine the balance of stretch and structure to allow the shoe to move comfortably and securely with your foot. The midsole cushioning has been updated to the DNA LOFT v2 foam for an even lighter-weight softness.

Are these recommended for use in HIIT classes? Or are they just for road running?

Hi Lia! Our gear, including the Ghost 15 is designed with the run in mind, but they can work great for many activities! One thing to keep in mind is that when used for their intended purpose, performance running shoes have an expected lifespan of about 300-500 miles with regular use. When used as a daily walking shoe or workout shoe rather than specifically for running, the consistent sustained pressure to the mesh and cushioning components can cause the materials to degrade quicker. We recommend regular rotation of a few pairs of good shoes to ensure the highest level of performance.
