I like the fit after increasing to the wide model; the medium width model seemed narrow. Otherwise, the shoes fit well.

Just updated from Ghost 11 to the 14. I will say my 11's were shot (but still love them) but wow the 14 is so much nicer to walk and run in. Great support and feel. No long term opinion yet but if they last as long as my 11's I will be more then happy. Thanks for making a great sneaker that's affordable.

This is my 6th pair of Ghost, with the Ghost 11 being the reason I became a loyal Brooks customer. These are a great update to previous versions and seem to be much more bouncy than the previous versions. The upper is very comfortable and did not need any break-in right out of the box. I have only run 10 miles in these since I bought them for my first marathon in December, which I am now being tortured to keep them in the box so they will stay new for the race.

best pair of running shoes I’ve ever owned. I used to be solely a Nike runner but these have been a game changer for me. Thanks!!!

As always, Brooks Goat has done it again. These are even more comfortable that Ghost 13. No shoe has ever been a perfect fit bit these come as close as a shoe can be.

these are a great pair of shoes. My only complaint is that Brooks doesn’t offer the more stylish color options in the wide widths. Brooks needs to realize that those of us that have been blessed with “Duck Feet” like to be stylish too.

The Ghost 14 has restored the Ghost line to its previous glory! I fell in love with the very first pair of Brooks Ghost's that I ever tried on and have been wearing nothing but Ghost's through the Ghost 11. The Ghost 12 and Ghost 13 were awful and a huge disappointment, which made me switch over to the Hoka One One Bondi 7. When the Ghost 14 came out and after reading the positive reviews of the improvements made over the Ghost 12 and Ghost 13, I decided to order a pair. I must say, I am glad I did, as I am very pleased with the improvements made and have fallen back in love with the shoe. I am 6' 3" and weigh 240 lbs. and wear orthotics. My running is restricted to treadmills at the gym, but I do enjoy going for long walks and the Ghost 14 continues to impress with its comfort and cushioning, even more so than my Ghost 11's, which I still own. I wear a 13 Medium and after removing the shoe liners, I had no problem inserting my orthotics for a comfortable fit. If you are like me and disliked the Ghost 12 and Ghost 13, please do yourself a favor and try the Ghost 14, as you will not be disappointed and hopefully, feel that the Ghost 14 is by far, the best Ghost that Brooks has introduced..

I love my Ghosts. This is my third pair. I have a very narrow foot and Brooks is one of the few manufacturers to make a B width.

I've run on Ghost 10 and Ghost 12. I liked the 12's so much I bought a second pair instead of the Ghost 13. Now I'm on the Ghost 14... it's certainly softer, though the squishier feel has lead to knee problems. Not sure if this has the same support that the 12's did. Hence, I might check out inserts for the little extra needed.

After a long hiatus from the Ghost line I'm back. I ran in the Ghost 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , and disliked the squishy feel of the 7's and switched to the Saucony ride. Then I switched to the Kinvara 8's and 9's and loved the light weight / 4 mill drop and the cushioning . I'm now 51 years old and have pretty bad arthritis in one knee . Bought the Kinvara 12 and something changed or I have changed LOL !!! Lot's of strange lower back issues. I think they lowered the stack height and they no longer feel good. So I rolled the dice and ordered the Ghost 14 and WOW !!!! This shoe is amazing > I forgot how easy these shoes are to run in while racking up the miles. The fit is spot on, I have a wide bony toe splay , a high arch and a narrow ankle and these shoes work perfect. No slipping, no rubbing and a roomy toe box. But the cushioning is incredible > This is a bouncy soft ride that is just so darn comfortable to run in. Not squishy at all. And I love the rebound / energy return that you get. This is an incredible ride. Hands down the best shoe I have ever ran in period. I'm back to the Ghost and loving them. I'm running happy for sure .

Thank you, thank you, thank you for still providing XW shoes! I have very bad bunions and it is so hard to get "normal" shoes that can accommodate this. These were immediately comfortable and fit my condition extremely well. I run and play tennis, but often have to put many band-aids on and just deal with rubbing, pain and blisters/bleeding! Not so with these. They are well cushioned for running and are indeed extra wide. Perhaps you could consider adding at least one additional color to your black and grey options in XW sizes??

I wear orthotics so the inside fit of a shoe is important, not to mention the overall fit to the shoe for heel and arch issues. Brooks seems to have it going on with their Ghost and Adrenaline most recently. This is my newest Ghost shoe, in which I still have a functional Ghost 13, as well as an Adrenaline, so its been a great shoe. I leave the inside sock liner/insole in and it still fits with my orthotics. Its a bit masculine as the ladies in my family weren't as excited as I was with the colors to the shoe, but its a money shoe to me.

tried Ghost for first time after years of Glycerins, and liked the fit better, more supportive with orthotics after extensive foot surgeries.

I?m honestly a bit disappointed. I took off a pair of 13s and put the 14s on and the 14 just isn?t as comfortable. The material doesn?t feel as breathable. The 13s almost felt air conditioned compared to these. The sides are stiffer on my feet than the 13s. The sole doesn?t feel as cushioned. I have another less worn pair of 13s in my closet that I tried on for a more apples to apples in case the current 13s I had on were just broken in way more but the less worn 13s were still much more comfortable. The new ones also feel heavier. If I were coming from many other shoes the 14 would feel great but comparing it to the 13 it falls short for me.

I have only had these for half an hour but the comfort is beyond compare. I had read a couple of reviews saying these were the most comfortable shoes they had ever worn. At the moment I would tend to agree. So light & so cushioned. Time will tell but at the moment outstanding.

The Ghost 10 by far were my favorite for the longest and I have been wanting them ever since. Tried the Ghost 11....9 miles and my feet hurt so horribly. Have the Ghost 12 GTX for rain because the 14 GTX isn't out yet. The Ghost 14 is amazing! It actually has some spring to it that was lacking before and did a 10 mile with ease. They made some great improvements to the 14, the ride and fit are amazing. Keep improving Brooks! This shoe was a run changer on my end. I'm just an every day runner.
