Best praise vs top criticism for Brooks Ghost 15
Best Praise
+18 pts“Here are some of my favorites that look good but also are legit for running: Tracksmith Eliot Runner (preppy casual; good for everyday running); Nike Pegasus 40 glass/sail colorway (sportier look but one of the most versatile running shoes); Hoka Mach 5 all white colorway (lightweight, great for fast running); Brooks Ghost Max in the all tan/gray colorways (super clean "normcore" look - looks awesome with a well-fitting hoodie; nice and cushioned protective shoe that's good for slower everyday running) Hope this helps - let me know if you're going for a specific style and I can suggest some more”

+14 pts“Yes. That is me. But I didn’t say the entirety of Brooks. It was in reference to the Ghost. Which is indeed the missionary sex of running shoes. Brooks makes lots of other shoes.”
