It's stiff. Maybe because it no longer has the BioMoGo. It runs small. They feel about as stiff as the Adrenaline 22. I hope that the people who design these shoes are actual runners.

Fit was ok but walking was uncomfortable for me. The innersole is soft, but lumpy. I walked around the house for several days but never liked the feel. They are light, and fit well and I wanted to like them, but didn't
I'd also recommend:
New Balance, but the ones I like (990) are pricey. It's because of the price that I'm

I really like the look of these shoes, and they are well constructed with one exception- there is an abnormality in the sole of the right shoe. The issue is exacerbated by runs greater than 8 miles. I chalked it up to bad insoles and put a set of insoles from frequent flier shoes and the issue persists. Tried with/without sock, no change. Exchanged for another pair, no change. I’ve had Brooks Ghost 12 and 13 and really liked them, however this abnormality creates hot spots on the sole aspect of the great toe and ball of my foot, completely intolerable and definitely a quality control issue.

Feels less plush/cushiony than previous editions, resulting in a harsher ride that leaves my knees and joints a little sore after a run. The back of my heel / achilles is also chafing against the cupped heel counter / tab. Going to try the Glycerin 19 as an alternative.

The sneaker is ok, but it is a bit built up in comparison to the Brooks Ghost 12. It's a but heavier than I care for but it seems to be an adequate shoe.

I like the 13 better
The 14 feels clunky with the thicker sole

I?ve got some mild blisters and my knees are sore after a flat 8 miles. Not the best protection, but certainly not the worst

Like the Ghost 13 better. Do not like the arch support in this shoe.

This is my 2nd pair of ghost 14, after exclusively running on cascadia for years. Very helpful on road trail. The extra cushion is great and it is not anything crazy like the hookas. First pair I got a solid 350 miles including a couple of 50ks and the LA marathon. Really enjoy them. A friend of mine convinced me to get a base white pair instead of those of grey. Not my first choice on color, but they look pretty cool and thoroughly enjoy these shoes that average 10-20 miles a week on road. Don't use this for trails, except in trails in big cities.

The 14 is not as comfortable as the 13. The laces are markedly cheaper as well. Unfortunate step down in overall quality.

Bought these since the new Beast has not been rolled out yet . Nice looking but not right for me. Brought back knee and shin discomfort which has not been felt in years . Peroneal nerve irritation not felt with the Beast.

My foot dr recommended these because of my high arches and his recommendation is the only reason I would order a pair of shoes online but they feel like I am walking on the ground so I had to put a thin gel insole in to be able to wear them.

I have very narrow feet and while most of the ghost's have fit like a "glove", this last pair is not fitting snug to my heels causing some rubbing as I run. Im going out this morning to consult an actual running shop to see if it's the particular shoe, type of shoe, or the foot that is the problem. I like the style, and it is a comfy shoe. But this one time, its not for me. The rest of my family, that does not have narrow feet, wear ghost without issue. We love them.

Most comfortable sneaker I?ve ever worn?..but the version 14 a bit surprising?one is the laces?spitting Image of wrapping paper ribbon?literally?..my opinion?cheap and terrible choice. Two.. a slight bit roomier than past versions.

Tongue is much stiffer than previous versions of the Ghost. I prefer my Ghost 12 fit over the 14

I've been a big fan of Brooks. Have had many pairs over the last 10 years. Mostly Ghost and Adrenaline. The laces on these last Ghost constantly come untied during my run. Even double knotted and tight to start. But the bigger concern is plater fasciitis. I've never had it, but now the arch of my left foot hurts in a slight to medium burn starting halfway through the run. I feel like Brooks did a "margin enhancement" switch on the cushioning.

Nice shoes, it's just the Ghost 13s are better. The Ghost 14s don't have as much support.

I?ve used Ghost for a number of years. My only complaint is about the laces. The flat laces don?t stay tied as well as round ones on previous models.

Less comfort and support compared to prior versions. Cheap shoe laces need double knots. Still good shoes but feels like a down grade
