Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 14

My first pair of Brooks were the Ghost 10 they were the most comfortable shoes I had ever bought, and I bragged on Brooks to everyone, they use to put the highest quality softest cushion in there. I bought the 11s they were good, but the quality had gone down. I bought the 12s and the quality had gone down another notch, bought the 13's and they were probably even with the 11s, I just purchased the 14s a few days ago and got my money back tonight they have been the worst brooks I have ever bought. My calves and shins were in pain the last couple of days, the sole doesn't feel neutral it feels like it has an angle that makes your calf flex. With everything going up in price and quality going down. I will not be buying anymore Brooks until the quality goes back to ghost 10. The reason I started buying Brooks is because Nike's quality was terrible. Why would you cheap out or make changes to your best-selling shoe? Take pride in what you do and give customers quality, or you will lose customers and revenue.

Tongue easily deviates and it feels a little wide

Have bought dozens of the Ghost, going back at least 15 years I would guess. The last 4 pairs I have purchased 3 returned for tearing out the heel. I tried switching socks and treated the last pair perfect, no running or working in them outside or inside. Tore out the exact same way. Come in Brooks, reinforce the heal material or I will never buy another pair. May try another style and see but switching to another brand is probably my only option. This is unfortunate as my foot problems are alleviated with the Ghost.

I have been using brooks since my ankle surgery in 2012, and have purchased a couple of different versions of the ghost series. This version of ghost is comfortable on the feet, but there are a few things I wish they would correct: 1) The shoe laces on older versions are better. These flat shoe laces tend to loosen up and untie quickly, which does not supply to support I need for my ankle. 2)The bottoms of the shoes started coming off within 3 or so months of wearing them, which should not happen for a shoe that cost as much as these do. 3) The toe box is a little roomy. I tend to like a little bit tighter of a shoe, so that my ankle gets the support it needs, but I do understand that some people do prefer a toe box to have a little bit more space. Overall the shoe is a decent shoe, I just wish the laces did not loosen so easily and that the shoe did not start to fall apart so quickly.
