Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 14

Best overall shoe.. Feels like made for my feet.. nice upgrade from ghost13. Whatever i wanted good toe box more cushioned at the heel, flat lace model,smooth no blister.. everything is perfect.. Already clocked 40 miles.. i was waiting for such a design from brooks ghost.. wish it had more color options. I bought the gray blue model

These shoes are awesome. I am a big guy, but getting smaller. I was 364 lbs when I started my weight loss journey. Today, I am 290lbs. I rewarded myself once I under 300lbs with a nice pair of running shoes and the Ghost 14 does not disappoint. I put 5 miles on these shoes day one! Absolutely the best shoe ever made?.even for a big man.

First run yesterday in the 14's (10.12 mile run on a track,1:26:00). 80 degrees and 3 rain showers. Took about 3 miles to break in. Right shoe almost felt like I had tied it to tight, but once the sweat got into the laces. It loosened it up just right. Comfortable, good bounce and absorbed water well. The toe area did feel like it had to much room compared to the 13. That is what caused me to tighten the laces a little more. But the thought kinda disappeared during the run.

I recently purchased a pair of the Ghost 14 shoes in black. I had never tried a pair on and after hearing people talk about how comfortable they were I decided to go try a pair on. I normally wear a size 13 in other shoes and this shoe was no different but in some of the other Brooks shoes I would have to get a 13 wide in order to be comfortable and the shoes not be so tight on my foot. So far I really like the Ghost 14. I have always wore Nike shoes and I am glad I decided to give Brooks shoes a try. They are probably the most comfortable and supporting shoe I have ever wore. I hope one day Brooks will make a work boot with/without a composite toe for people like myself who are required to wear a safety toe boot for work. I think with the technology that Brooks puts into their shoes they could make a boot just as comfortable and supportive as their shoes.

To the Brooks Team: long time customer since you?re one of the few running shoe companies that makes a narrow width. My complaint with the Ghost 14 is this: why do you all make the B width shoes in the most boring colors? Each model is always the most bland color and I believe it?s time you all up your game. The ghost 14 gray is basically like the New Balance 991 - very utilitarian. Other than that - great shoe as always.

I have been running in the Ghost's since the 4's. They have all been good, some better than the others. Having said that the 14's are simply amazing, the BEST Ghost's ever. From my first 5 mile run in them it just felt right. You just want to keep running, and running and running.......

The back of the shoes have dug into my skin. I thought it was cause they weren't broken in, but it has never gotten better. I had to add padding and wear thicker socks. This are definitely my size because all other aspects correctly fit my foot. The quality of these shoes are great but they are not the comfiest. My feet don't hurt after running, but without the additional support I added, they would absolutely tear up the back.

What can I say?. Brooks has outdone themselves again with the Ghosts 14. I?ve been wearing ghosts for the past 3 years I believed I started with the 11?s. They have changed my life, I?m a bigger guy 6ft 230+ and these shoes are all I will wear now. I have 2 pairs one for running and one for daily life. I used to suffer from terrible plantar fasciitis and thought I would never be rid or it, but the ghosts I feel made the difference. Also, the 14?s are lighter then then the 13?s. Over all great shoe!

After being dedicated to Ascis for over a decade, the new Kayanos started making my feet hurt and the toe box was way too tight. I went to my local running store and they fitted me with these shoes which are by far the best running shoe I've had. I am a neutral runner, but I do feel and like the arch support. The flat laces hug the top part of my foot better than the cordlike laces of prior shoes/Ghost versions. The heel/side cushion is perfect for midstrike running. The toe box is roomy and doesn't hurt or tighten in the middle of the run.

I was recently given the opportunity to try the new Ghost '14 running shoes and am very impressed. The new Ghost '14 offers a near perfect balance of support without sacrificing "road feel" as your foot transfers from heel to toe. The Ghost '14 is a nice light shoe and the Air Mesh upper offers a great deal of breath ability for those longer training sessions. Although this pair was offered at no-charge for my evaluation, I will gladly continue to be a Brooks enthusiast and order up another pair!!! Thanks again for a great shoe Brooks and keep up the good work! You will not be disappointed if you choose the Ghost '14

I've always been thoroughly impressed by the Brooks Ghost. The latest 14th edition is no exception. When I was given the opportunity to trial the Ghost 14 free of charge simply in exchange for my honest opinion and review I lept at it! They were comfortable right out of the box with no break in period and performed true to prior experiences straight into my first run with them. They have a new upper look in terms of style pattern along with flatter laces. The base also has a new appearance with a more rugged look almost like meant for trail running--although their fit and feel do not echo this. I generally like more vivid colored shoes, but found the grey pair I received to be appealing due to the midshoe blue Brooks emblem, darker contrasting graphite base, and hint of orange treads visible. I hope there are more vibrant and creative colors available once fully launched. They contour nicely around my size 10.5 feet yet have no sense of being snug or restrictive. The heel wall is well padded and I had no rubbing or irritation on any runs. The toe box is adequate too for average width feet. The laces were a bit long for me though and could potentially annoy some runners if they flop around too much once laced. I was able to run with them both on my treadmill and open road. They feel light yet cushiony, but the best aspect is you don't even really know they're there once you get over their first strong impressions. Although listed as a neutral shoe, I felt supported with no strain despite having a slight overpronation in my stride. I'm not sure what the weight or drop on this edition is, but they felt similar to prior Ghost shoes. I think they function well as a regular training shoe with some crossover to races for casual runners like myself, but would likely be too heavy or cushioned for advanced athletes. They held consistent on both slower weekend long runs and more tempo weekday runs. In fact, the Ghost 14 was the only piece of running equipment (including my body) that held up for a run in 95+ heat/humidity. Simply put, they just feel REAL good and perform excellent.

I've received the new brooks ghost 14 free of charge in exchange of my honest openion. shoes are very comfortable, perfect fit and very light weight..

Thank you for sending me a pair of your new Ghost 14 shoes free of charge so that I could give you my honest opinion! As you know I have been a customer of Brooks for several years. I am predominantly a walker as opposed to a runner, walking typically approximately 5 miles 5 days a week with my wife. In the past, I have predominantly bought the Adrenaline GTS model. I buy Brooks because I like the fit, the light weight, the breathability, the lack of pressure points, and the attractive look! The Ghost 14 was no exception! It delivered all of this attractive features plus literally felt like I was ?walking on air?! I was with my 5 adult children on a walk over father?s day and my daughter said ?Pops, cool shoes!? I looked around and nearly all of them had Brooks on! You certainly have some fans in the Anderson Family! Sincerely, Mark
