I came to these shoes from the Brooks PureFlow 7 (10.5 D) after that line was discontinued. I only have ~30 miles in these, but I've been really enjoying them so far. I have low arches so my feet tend to run right up to a full D width, but I'm usually able to wear a D in most shoes. I ordered both the D and EE widths of the Ghost 14 in 10.5 and the D was much more narrow than what I was used to compared to the PureFlow D so I kept the EE width. Aside from this, running in them has been a treat. Very comfy cushioning without being overly squishy, good traction in both dry and wet conditions on paved surfaces, and no uncomfortable hot spots.

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've owned the previous version(s) to this model, and loved them. These are the same, which is exactly what I wanted. An everyday shoe that can rack up mileage. No complaints at all. Comfortable and so far have held up to an average of 2-3 miles a day.

I had ordered the Ghost 13 before from you and loved it. This shoe did not fit right or true to 10W.

These have good support, are light, and have pretty good bounce.

This is my third pair of Brooks but my first pair of Ghost 14. With each pair I require a half size smaller than the prior pair. I know my feet aren't getting any shorter/smaller so I caution buyers to go down a size or half a size when ordering.

My 14's came as a early bday present and I loved them right out of the box... 32 days later I am re-boxing to return. I typically get a 3-4 months out of my ghost but with the 13's it dropped to 2-3 months and now with this 14, it is just a day over the 1 month mark. In my opinion it seems like the durability of the material in the soles has been declining with each redesign. I am about to order another pair in hopes it was just maybe a bad production cycle but if I get the same results they will lost me.

Very comfortable. An improvement over last model. I walk and run on alternate days. These shoes work very well for either.

I liked the style of these and previous versions, but the cushioning in these shows broke down fast! I’ve only worn them a dozen times or so to walk around in. I don’t wear them everyday, but the soles feel like they caved in. These shoes were a disappointment.

Shoes are comfortable to wear and are easy to fit into. Their support to my feet is excellent, which is great since I’m on my feet for most of my work shift.

Quality is better than the 13's, but these shoes still don't last as long as they should. Also, Brooks switched the Ghost 14 back to flat laces, and they are constantly loosening or even opening. Why devolve your product? Bring back the spongy laces, please!

These shoes are great. I just ran my first marathon yesterday and these were awesome. Didn't give me any blisters/issues in the last few months of training either. During the marathon it was raining most of the time and they still hung in there. I usually wear a 12 and got these in 12.5 for a little extra room. I have the white/navy and they are very sharp.

I?ve worn ghosts religiously since version 7 and have never had a problem until this version 14. I purchased my normal size and the first time I ran in them, they pinched my toes enough to cause one of my nails to turn black. The redesigned toe box is narrower and pronates my feet slightly inward. Am disappointed and hoping Brooks returns more to the old design with the 15.

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.

Wish Brooks would make colorways other than black for women!!!!!! I see that sizes 7 and 7.5 are sold out in the highlighter yellow color way…hmmm…that’s a women’s 8.5 and 9….. hmm….. the average women’s shoe size. Great shoe though. Glad to not have to pay the female tax eyeroll.

Comfortable, very similar to adrenaline. Decided to stick with adrenaline as this made me turn out a bit too much.

Either this was marked wrong or Brooks makes shoes very small.

The shoe fits perfect for my 4E wide which I was worried about. One of the best walking/workout shoes I've ever owned. Wish they were a bit more stylish.

Loved the style. However, this was by far the most uncomfortable tennis shoe I have ever worn. Double EE, but felt extremely narrow and tight across the entire length of the shoe. Extremely stiff. Did not even attempt to walk in it. Went with the Adrenaline GTS 21 in 4E and had a wonderful experience. Always love Brooks shoes. This one was a dud.
