Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 14

I really liked how these shoes felt at first. I walk with them, but not that much. Unfortunately they have already worn out. I bought them end of February and the tread has gone on the soles. Disappointing given how much I paid.

I have purchased Ghost tennis shoes for 14-15 years and i think Brooks changing the ghost in the 14 just ruined the shoe. I know as far as i am concerned Brooks just changed the shoe completely, I purchased a pain of Ghost 14 thinking it would be the same shoe i had always worn but i was shocked and dissapointed at the change in the Ghost. I know i am only one person but now I have to find shoes for my work shoe because i am in the health field and on my feet most of the day,,Please build another shoe like the Ghost 12 and 13!!

Have been wearing ghosts for 3 years now. The new 14?s fit different and caused a lot of back and hamstring pain. Wish the 13?s was still an option to buy

The change from the Ghost 13 was dramatic. The heal is almost 1/4" higher, the tread is not as well defined and the laces are the old flat weave that was popular in the 1960's. Fortunately Brooks' return policy allowed me to return them. I'm sorry the change was so bad. I was able to find 2 pair of 13s at other sights and snapped them up. After they are worn out I'm going to have to at least change styles, if not brands. It's really too bad I've enjoyed the Ghost line for years. This change made it impossible to wear.

I had Ghost 12 previously. Bought Ghost 14 and returned them. Size and fit feel different. Material slippery, flimsy and cheap. Shoe laces cheap and come undone. The tongue of the she is horrible, no bend and stiff. The tongue rubs my tendon on the front of the foot right where it should bend. The Ghost 12 tongue was perfect. The whole Ghost 12 shoe was perfect. The Ghost 14 is a complete design failure.

I?ve always loved all my brooks, but my only issue with this pair is that I thought they were red but they look orange. I will be sending them back tomorrow.

I get a new pair of Brooks Ghost shoes about every 6 months because they are my favorite shoes. I work 48-60hrs a week and these are by far the most comfortable shoes I have found until this newest pair. Every since I started wearing these, my arches are hurting and they are rubbing blisters on my arches. I got the same size I always get and at first, they felt like the same fit but they are just not the same (hence the aching feet and painful blisters)

i have purchased ghost 9b since the 7. they fit like cinderella?s slippers. these 14 were terrible fit, too short and too tight. i sent them back. utterly disappointed.

I have been a Brooks Ghost runner for many years and have always loved the fit, feel, and durability of the model. The 14 breaks in well and has a good feel, but I cant recommend it because the durability of this recycled material model is very poor. You used to be able to wash previous models, but this model comes apart when washed. The sole on my shoes have disintegrated after a few months use.

I am extremely disappointed with the lack of quality and durability of the Brooks Ghost 14 running shoes. I purchased 2 pairs of different colors at the same time. I use them for general walking around and alternate between wearing both pairs of the Ghost 14s and other shoes. Both pairs suffer from similar defects in the same general area; coming apart on the side of the right foot big toe area. Having purchased countless pairs of shoes from other brands and styles of shoes (running/athletic, casual, dress), I have never experienced this happening before. To say that I am not satisfied with the Brooks brand would be an understatement. If this is what one can expect from purchasing Brooks shoes, I would be extremely reluctant with purchasing this brand going forward and would strongly advise buyers to look elsewhere.

Cheaply made. Can see glue everywhere from when made. Also caused me a lot of blisters.

Actually disappointed in the 14. The past versions of this shoe have been very good, but the 14 seems to cramp the toes more and is causing lost toe nails.

I hate having to write this review because I have been a long time supporter of the Brooks shoes. However; about a month Into this new pair and minimal usage, the bottom treads have already begun to fall apart. Hoping this is a one and only instance for me.

Terrible shoe! I have bought Brooks Ghost shoes for at least that last 6 years and the Ghost 14 is by far the worst Ghost shoe I have ever owned. The Ghost 12 was fantastic, felt great since the moment I put it on. The Ghost 14 has hurt my ankles right away (especially the right ankle.) I think the shoes are too tight and the edge of the shoe is way too close to the ankle. The tongue of the Ghost 14 is also different than the Ghost 12, which is also not helping. I will be returning these and please do not waste your money! Buy anything else!

Guys!! I am such a Brooks fan! As a physical therapist of over 20 years I send my patients to you for quality footwear, because I know it performs! However, the recent pair of Ghost 14 shoes that I purchased are not like the previous Ghosts I?ve worn. Whatever change you made, please reverse this, or I will have to search for a new shoe. Normally, a new pair of Ghosts feel perfect to my feet. I can usually get 2 months of wear, before I begin to feel the achy knee and low back. With the new pair of ghost 14s, they do not fit my feet well. My feet feel tired within an hour of putting them on. I trust and believe in your brand. Please correct this. Thanks.

Disappointed in the actual color. More orange than red and feels like a hard spot on the fore foot. No change of returning now. Should stick with all black learned my lesson.

Started having Achilles pain after wearing for a week. Have never had this issue prior to wearing these shoes. Feel loose in the toe box.

I miss the old ones. These hurt. Luckily I saved my 13s and have started using them again and the pain disappeared.

Wore 2 days walking at work. Toes fading. These are not daily-shoe sneakers

Hard as a rock. they ruined the shoe. going back to ghost 13!

It?s a great looking shoe .I want to keep it for the novelty to wear on ST.Patrick?s day .I found it did not fit any of my insoles that work on other brooks ( ghost 14 gortex love em and launch 8) The shamrock ones are uncomfortable and I do not think I will run in them . Two out of three ain?t bad

I wish I could pinpoint exactly what is different about this version that has caused me knee pain. I ran more than 400 miles in the 13s with no injury/soreness issues. After 18 miles of a combination of road and treadmill in the 14s, I couldn?t walk comfortably and now have had to take more days off recently. I was really disappointed in version 14 and returned them. I?ll likely look elsewhere for something similar to the 13s at a local running store. Other than the fun St Patty Day edition, these shoes were a let down from every other version I have run with.
