Fit was accurate for size and width. Toe box is a bit wider than most shoes which is good for my foot (as is ASICS). Good stability good firm footpad. My only real complaint with the shoe is that the tongue is a bit stiff, has very little padding (thin) and seems to be a little too long. Hits the top of my ankle and was really noticeable at first. Also can feel the laces if you go a bit tight when lacing. Have been wearing them for 2 weeks and it is breaking in. ASICS Nimbus tongue is really well padded with a "split" down the middle that is more comfortable for my foot.
I'd also recommend:

Coming from a pair of ghost 9s size 13 regular width (D) which fit great! I found I had to go all the way up to 4E width in the ghost 14 to get the same fit. The D was to narrow in my toe box/base of toes. The 2E was the same soul with more roomy fabric area but still way to narrow. 4E fits well roomy enough but snug in the heel still. Not crazy about the look. But comfort is there for sure. Good for my walks and shorts runs (3 milers usually)

I love the color of the shoes I wanted to really love them! I bought these shoes in the man’s 11 1/2. But I felt more comfortable in the women’s 13 in the ghost 13. I do a lot of exercise classes so when I go to choose shoes I look for stability and fit. I have a bunion on my foot so I’m trying to find shoes to accommodate that comfortably.

Purchased online sight unseen. Been a ?ghostian? for many models and enjoy them. Yes toe-box is tighter than most but not inhibiting. Ran 5K right outta the box with no discomfort or irritation. Ordered the 11.5 as always. Some are complaining about laces loosening. My laces stayed put without a double-knot?I use a method where I loop twice to hold laces against the top of my foot so it doesn?t loosen as I make the bow?foolproof. Give it a shot as the look, fit, cushioning during foot-strike, and rebound are amazing.

This is my first Brooks shoe and I'm impressed! The shoe is super comfortable without feeling too warm. The rocker makes the heel to toe transition super smooth, and the ride is nice and cushioned without feeling unresponsive or slow. I didn't have any issue getting a good lock down in the heel or midfoot, but I had to tweak and tighten the laces a lot in order to get a good lock down in my forefoot/toes. I'm not sure if this is just because I have the Run Hoppy edition which appears to have a slightly different upper, but it did make the toe off feel super dull and messy until I got that taken care of. Overall a fantastic shoe and I really like the steps Brooks has taken to make it carbon neutral and utilize more recycled materials.

Right out of the box these shoes feel great! Went for a 4 mile run in them yesterday and they were great for the whole run. Definitely will be part of my regular rotation. A few helpful notes: these feel even lighter than my adrenaline 21s, though great makes me wonder about their longevity and quality. Also for size these do feel slightly more snug than other brooks, but I wouldn’t say it’s enough to go up even a half size. The snug-ness also does not bother me at all while wearing or running. This could all be about your shape/size of feet. Also I am a women and I prefer the men’s shoes because of the wider toe box. Overall I’d recommend for now.

Nice shoe but definitely run a little narrow. Next time I will go for the wide.

My husband wears a 10-10.5 so I ordered him a size 11 in these shoes. Too small! We're exchanging them for a 12. Hopefully that will do the trick.

Short and narrow. I purchased 10.5 4E feels like 10 2E. Not enough cushion to help with Neuroma.

As always, Brooks Goat has done it again. These are even more comfortable that Ghost 13. No shoe has ever been a perfect fit bit these come as close as a shoe can be.

I've run on Ghost 10 and Ghost 12. I liked the 12's so much I bought a second pair instead of the Ghost 13. Now I'm on the Ghost 14... it's certainly softer, though the squishier feel has lead to knee problems. Not sure if this has the same support that the 12's did. Hence, I might check out inserts for the little extra needed.

I’ve been a long fan of Brooks Ghost, especially the 11 when I must’ve bought 10 pairs to last me. I’m glad I did because the 12 and 13 were lackluster and clunky. With the 14 Brooks has returned to a more streamlined, light and bouncy sneaker. It’s not exact my a “wow” in both looks and feel, but they do the job day in and day out. In short, they’re reliable. I am however a bit concerned with longevity since after only two runs there’s already some pilling of the material right at the heel cut. I foresee a small hole in there by the 100 mile mark.

Fit and size were true as advertised. Color was exactly what I wanted; neither too dark nor too bright.

I have read great reviews about Brooks shoes. I understand why! These Brooks Ghost 14 have really helped with my posture, stride, and impact. They make for a great running shoe for me.

Remember when we used to return home from a long trip and feel so good to be back? I know, not so much in pandemic times...
But that's how I feel about the Ghost 14. the 13 was that weird road trip where the shoes became dirty immediately and were kinda stiff and orthotics were required. The 14 is home. It's a glove with support for a good walkabout. I put them on and ahhhh.
Only pet peeve is that Brooks, like the other manufacturers, need to make wider shoe tongues in their wider shoes. I can see my foot at the top and the laces rub. The New Balance shoe I tried was so bad I had to return them even though they were cuter than the Ghost. I bought gray this time so the dirt wouldn't show like it did on the 13. Fingers crossed!

I purchased these for walking but not my best choice. Maybe as a running shoe they offer a thin foot bed without much shock absorption. Very quickly they became uncomfortable.

They are okay sneakers a bit tighter than the 10.5 Ghost 15s I have. I am somewhat disappointed thoughI expected a better fit.

Ghost is just not made as well as it once was: the strings are cheap, the cushioning is less, the tongue is too small and not cushioned well. It's just a much cheaper-made version than it once was. Too bad the price didn't follow suit.

Disappointed. I'm a true size 13 in almost all shoes. However, these 13 were too small so I tried the size 14. But then those were too big.
