I'm A Marathon Runner & These Comfy Sneakers Make The Miles Fly By (+ They're On Sale)
As a seasoned marathon runner who tests products for a living, I've tried 20+ pairs of running shoes. I've even had my feet and stride analyzed for personalized sneakers—and yet it''s rare for a sneaker to impress me as much as the Brooks Ghost 15 did straight out of the box.
Whether you're training for a marathon or just lacing up for the first time, I strongly suggest you run to get the Ghost 15 sneakers at their newly discounted price. Just don't blame me when they're out of stock.
Why these sneakers belong on your feet
I'm a runner so I could be biased, but I have science on my side. Along with its obvious cardiovascular benefits, running can improve quality of sleep1, longevity2, and mental health3. One study even found that runners have a 25% to 40% reduced risk of premature mortality compared to non-runners4.
But that's all a moot point if you don't have the right shoes. You need the right combination of comfort, support, and stability to maintain proper form and reduce the risk of injury—and the Brooks Ghost 15 checks all these boxes.
- Podiatrists have recommended the Brooks Ghost 15 to mindbodygreen for running, walking, or everyday wear, and specifically for people with high arches or wide feet. Plus, the shoe has earned the APMA Seal of Acceptance.
- The shoe has a 12-mm drop (on the higher end) and weighs 9.1 ounces (on the lighter side), making it a great pick for runners who prefer cloudlike cushioning but don't want to feel weighed down.
- The plush feel comes from lightweight DNA Loft v2 cushioning in the midsole, which provides a softer landing and a feeling of floating, even when running on hard pavement.
- The Brooks Ghost 15 sneakers are carbon neutral, and the upper is made from 57% recycled materials (a win in the footwear space).
- I have bunions, so I always look for a spacious toe box, which these shoes have. Their mesh upper molds perfectly to my foot, without causing any cramming or discomfort.
- They give me enough comfort and support for running and walking—and I love that they're available in four widths (narrow, medium, wide, and extra wide).
The takeaway
I was coming off a four-month, post-marathon break when I first tested the Brooks Ghost 15, and they made running feel fun again.
Since then I've been running (and walking!) in them regularly, and I''m absolutely snagging a backup pair while they're on sale. Don't miss your chance to shop these cult-favorite running sneakers for just $100.
