I wore Brooks Ghost on my camino last year. I loved them but they're worn out now so I bought a new pair. They're Ghost 16. I don't know what my old pair were but I bought them in 2023 so I guess they were 15s? These feel the same but my hips hurt after a long walk and they don't seem to breathe as well. It's not that my feet sweat but I want to take them off ASAP after a walk on a warmish day. Has anybody else found a difference?

I would hesitate to wear these new ones on a Camino with that experience at home! I haven't used then though, sorry.

You can probably still find a pair of Ghost 15s online in somewhere.

Sadly, most high end shoe manufacturers change their shoes every year, as you've found. Sometimes for the better, but that's an extremely individual perception.

Go hunt down 15s in your size in online outlets. You being from Canada, I can't say what's available to you.
