Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 14

I have been running in the Ghost's since the 4's. They have all been good, some better than the others. Having said that the 14's are simply amazing, the BEST Ghost's ever. From my first 5 mile run in them it just felt right. You just want to keep running, and running and running.......

What can I say?. Brooks has outdone themselves again with the Ghosts 14. I?ve been wearing ghosts for the past 3 years I believed I started with the 11?s. They have changed my life, I?m a bigger guy 6ft 230+ and these shoes are all I will wear now. I have 2 pairs one for running and one for daily life. I used to suffer from terrible plantar fasciitis and thought I would never be rid or it, but the ghosts I feel made the difference. Also, the 14?s are lighter then then the 13?s. Over all great shoe!

After being dedicated to Ascis for over a decade, the new Kayanos started making my feet hurt and the toe box was way too tight. I went to my local running store and they fitted me with these shoes which are by far the best running shoe I've had. I am a neutral runner, but I do feel and like the arch support. The flat laces hug the top part of my foot better than the cordlike laces of prior shoes/Ghost versions. The heel/side cushion is perfect for midstrike running. The toe box is roomy and doesn't hurt or tighten in the middle of the run.

I was recently given the opportunity to try the new Ghost '14 running shoes and am very impressed. The new Ghost '14 offers a near perfect balance of support without sacrificing "road feel" as your foot transfers from heel to toe. The Ghost '14 is a nice light shoe and the Air Mesh upper offers a great deal of breath ability for those longer training sessions. Although this pair was offered at no-charge for my evaluation, I will gladly continue to be a Brooks enthusiast and order up another pair!!! Thanks again for a great shoe Brooks and keep up the good work! You will not be disappointed if you choose the Ghost '14

I've always been thoroughly impressed by the Brooks Ghost. The latest 14th edition is no exception. When I was given the opportunity to trial the Ghost 14 free of charge simply in exchange for my honest opinion and review I lept at it! They were comfortable right out of the box with no break in period and performed true to prior experiences straight into my first run with them. They have a new upper look in terms of style pattern along with flatter laces. The base also has a new appearance with a more rugged look almost like meant for trail running--although their fit and feel do not echo this. I generally like more vivid colored shoes, but found the grey pair I received to be appealing due to the midshoe blue Brooks emblem, darker contrasting graphite base, and hint of orange treads visible. I hope there are more vibrant and creative colors available once fully launched. They contour nicely around my size 10.5 feet yet have no sense of being snug or restrictive. The heel wall is well padded and I had no rubbing or irritation on any runs. The toe box is adequate too for average width feet. The laces were a bit long for me though and could potentially annoy some runners if they flop around too much once laced. I was able to run with them both on my treadmill and open road. They feel light yet cushiony, but the best aspect is you don't even really know they're there once you get over their first strong impressions. Although listed as a neutral shoe, I felt supported with no strain despite having a slight overpronation in my stride. I'm not sure what the weight or drop on this edition is, but they felt similar to prior Ghost shoes. I think they function well as a regular training shoe with some crossover to races for casual runners like myself, but would likely be too heavy or cushioned for advanced athletes. They held consistent on both slower weekend long runs and more tempo weekday runs. In fact, the Ghost 14 was the only piece of running equipment (including my body) that held up for a run in 95+ heat/humidity. Simply put, they just feel REAL good and perform excellent.

I've received the new brooks ghost 14 free of charge in exchange of my honest openion. shoes are very comfortable, perfect fit and very light weight..

Thank you for sending me a pair of your new Ghost 14 shoes free of charge so that I could give you my honest opinion! As you know I have been a customer of Brooks for several years. I am predominantly a walker as opposed to a runner, walking typically approximately 5 miles 5 days a week with my wife. In the past, I have predominantly bought the Adrenaline GTS model. I buy Brooks because I like the fit, the light weight, the breathability, the lack of pressure points, and the attractive look! The Ghost 14 was no exception! It delivered all of this attractive features plus literally felt like I was ?walking on air?! I was with my 5 adult children on a walk over father?s day and my daughter said ?Pops, cool shoes!? I looked around and nearly all of them had Brooks on! You certainly have some fans in the Anderson Family! Sincerely, Mark

Nice shoe other than a stiffer walk

Haven't seemed to like them like I did the Adrenaline 22. Nice shoe though.

Haven?t seemed to like them like I did the Adrenaline 22. Nice shoe though.

jury still out. Havent run on them enough yet. I like the fact that the soles don't pick up debris and rocks like some other shoes. They have good cushion and feel. On the other hand, I am having some heel pain, but not sure if thats a result of the shoes not agreeing with me. I am optimistic that is NOT the case. They also aren't much to look at! lol Check back in in 30 days!

Almost feels like running on air.

Just really comfortable. I'm happy I bought them. .

Love the foot bed. My only complain is how easy they get dirty and stay dirty.

I use them power walking in the streets and hills, Ghost 13 felt better, Launch 8 were not good for working out more a casual walking around shoe.

Quality materials and so comfortable. Primarily used for long road walks. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Great fit and great comfort.

Very Comfortable compared to other shoes I've worn

The shoe it self is a good running shoe for beginners. Unfortunately I find that the silky smooth shoe laces are difficult to tie.

Great shoes. Would be nice if I could get them in Wide.

Light, but with enough heel lift to keep me going with no injuries.
