I purchased these for my husband who said that these sneakers (Brooks Ghost 14) are much more comfortable than the last pair (Brooks Ghost 13).

Runs smaller than the 13. Earned myself some black toenails on my middle toes after a couple of runs, despite using thin socks. Had to return, which was a bummer, because the cushioning felt great.

I've been happily running in the Ghost model for many iterations and was surprised to find my brand new Ghost 14's delivered with FLAT shoelaces that like to untie themselves as I run. What happened to the nice squishy-always-stay-tied round laces you had on the 12's and 13's? Bring them back - please! Why has Brooks taken a step backwards using guaranteed to untie when you run FLAT shoelaces on the brand new 14's? I'll see you on the side of the road; I'll be the guy bent over re-tying my FLAT shoelaces.

I am disappointed in the durability of this shoe. The Ghost 14 is my third pair of Ghosts. I’m a runner. I’ve also run in the Ghost 11 and 12. I’m a big Brooks fan and have logged many many miles in 12 different pairs of Brooks shoes since I discovered them about 4 years ago. I love how durable and comfortable Brooks are. I experiment with other brands too, but I keep coming back to Brooks for their durability and comfort. Having said that, I’m very disappointed with the durability of the Ghost 14. It’s still a very comfortable shoe, but it the heel of the shoe began disintegrating after only 120 miles. I currently have 162 miles on Ghost 14, the hole in the right heel has worn completely through the lining, and has almost worn all the way through the padding that keeps your heel from rubbing up against the rigid blister-inducing material that gives the heel its form. I’ve uploaded a picture of the problem(the grey shoe), though the pic doesn’t really capture the problem adequately because it’s impossible to get an angle that really captures the size and depth of the hole from my phone camera. I’ve also uploaded a photo of the right heel on my last pair of Ghosts, the Ghost 12 (blue shoe). I have almost 400 miles on the Ghost 12s and they still don’t have any holes. I routinely put between 400 and 500 miles on my Brooks without any durability issues. Not so with the Ghost 14!

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.

After breaking them in for a week they are super comfortable and work great for me. AMAJOR downside is that only 3 colors come in Wide (2E). How are there resources to create new styles with beer on them, but not enough to increase the selection available in Wide sizes?

Brooks you redeemed yourself. I've had brooks ghost 12, 13, and now 14. The 12's were amazing. The 13's were not great, toe cap was thin and had a bunch of little dents, just wasn't a great shoe for me. The 14's are soooooo much better, they feel closer to the 12's, thank you! I look forward to the splash edition.

These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have worn in my entire life! I feel like I’m walking amongst angels on earth and qualifying for the cloud 500. Kick your own rear if you don’t get these!

This is my second pair of brooks and I will never wear another tennis shoe brand. I have found that getting the elastic shoelaces help with an added level of comfort and usually are around $5. I was first steered to brooks from a local running shoe store. If you haven’t been evaluated by one of those it is probably a good idea to do before buying. Only negative is there aren’t many color options for wide feet which is a bummer.

I love the look and cushion of the shoe, but the toe box is very cramped and shoe runs at least half a size smaller overall, especially when compared to my Brooks Ravennas. (trying something new since Ravennas changed to "Brooks Launch")

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.

I bought these for my husband who wears 4E 10.5. I have worn Brooks Ghost for years and I thought he would enjoy the support & comfort as we do a lot of walking.
I purchased a 1/2 size larger as reviews recommended.
He loves the fit. His toes are not cramped and his foot feels great in Brooks Ghost 14 model.
