I adore the print on these. I don’t run ??, so I use these for long days standing on hard, slippery pool decks. Very comfortable and do wonders for my knees and hips.

Size 9 and 9.5 I ended up going with 9 wide
I’m a size 8 for reference with wide feet
Hoping this helps someone to choose the correct size.

I have many different sneakers from Brooks. I've got size 7 M, which is the size I have always been in Brooks, but I needed to return them because they were squeezing and pinching my toes. They felt very narrow and tight all around my feet. Today, I've got size 7 Wide (first time), and they fit well. I suffer from sensitive feet and peripheral neuropathy, so space on the tox box is a must. Other than that, I love the new style, which has more cushion and it looks cool.

Love the Brooks Ghost 14s! They have the perfect level of
support and cushion but also feel incredibly supportive and lasting. The
soles are a great width to help guide steps and strides. The color (white)
gets dirty too easy, but otherwise I'm a huge fan!

So what's with the short, cheap laces? Aside from looking cheap & feeling like they will not last long, they are so short that you cannot use the extra lace hole to fully snug the shoe to your foot.
Such a small thing, but a big deal to me.

This is my second pair of Brooks Ghost, my first was 13. I've worn other brands of athletic shoes, but this one seems to have the best support along with a wide toe space. I am wearing a 9 1/2 Wide, and my toes never cramp or feel hedged in. The comfort, for me, works well with walking on a treadmill, walking outside, and exercising on an elliptical. I also just wear them around the house and out shopping. I am not a runner or competitive athlete. I have tried other brands where my toes cramped or the shoe seemed less supportive.

Loved the look of the camo black/white style and although I haven’t had Ghosts since the 4’s - these are a big improvement over the past 10 releases. I’ve been wearing Gylcerin’s (16 & 18) and all three of my Brooks are a half size up from my usual size (7) . So I ordered a 7.5 again and these fit great. Toes aren’t crammed, but not too loose. Glad I could order the same size as past styles and they all fit me the same. Ghost 14’s are light, cushioned and my feet feel great. My fiancée just ordered a pair for himself. Wore them out yesterday and got lots of compliments! Very happy with my purchase and the super-fast shipping!

I have been ordering Brooks athletic shoes for years and these may be the best pair yet. My foot has a narrow heel and a wider toe box. I always size ups from a 7 1/2 to an 8. I have never been disappointed. These feel great and the gray color is modern. I just may have to buy this shoe in a few more colors! Thank you Zappos for your quick and excellent service.

This is my second pair of Brooks Ghost 14. I am post-op ankle surgery and these offer comfort and support and enough room for orthotics. They also look nice on the foot.

Ive got bunions, so I needed a wide shoe. A runner recommended Brooks. I’m so glad I took her advice! It’s so comfortable, soft and doesn’t squeeze my feet. I feel like I’m walking on clouds! Excellent for people who have bunions!

LOVE these shoes! Every time I think I need a different running shoe, I end up disappointed since these are so durable and comfortable. I can get more miles out of these than any other shoe I’ve had - even other Brooks models.

I bought these for my mom who has never worn Brooks. She has not stopped talking about them. She has really only worn New Balance or Saucony. These are now her absolute favorite. The arch support is decent, they are true to size, and ultimately her back and knee pain have decreased significantly.

After two decades as an Asics only runner, I finally got frustrated enough with changes to their quality and sizing that I decided to try these. I read many reviews to make the decision and am very happy with these after running in them for a few feeks. With a tendency to overpronate slightly I was looking for some stability, support, and cushioning in a flexible sole, plus a need for wide width. This checked all the boxes.

This is a fit comparison review. For reference, this is Year 4 in Brooks Ghosts for me, and I have duck feet (wider across the toes, narrower in the heels). The Ghost 13s felt overly roomy and thus a little less stable, and while they were ok, they weren't like the 12s (which I loved). Fit-wise, the 14s are more like the 12s. Yay. They felt stable, supportive, and cushioned, similar to the predecessors. I marked the "felt full size smaller box" because I wear a 9.5 dress shoe but require a 10.5 in Brooks running shoes (professionally fitted). I have long arches, and the arches in the 14s felt good; in comparison, the 13s felt a little short. Also, the 13s felt a little "slippy" in the heel; whatever caused that seems thankfully to not be happening with the 14s. Agree with other reviewers who said these felt a little narrower, but only compared to the 13 which felt a little too wide. They perfectly accommodate my quackers.

They are beautiful, however the toe box is just too wide for my need so it doesn’t work for me. Fyi, I ordered a medium width (as I always do with other brands). Can’t speak about the cushions at all as I haven’t had a chance to wear them for a long time.
Also, the pair that I received are not really in a perfect condition. The front part of the right side has a little snag on the fabric and there are some messy glue parts here and there on both sides. It’s my first Brooks purchase and in general I’m not that impressed. For the price tag, I’m expecting more than what I got.

Tried MULTIPLE sneakers and this one had the best overall comfort and fit. In fact, the support was better than my prior basics or hokas and didn't require my inserts.

Love these! I’ve worn brooks ghost for years and always go up a 1/2 size. Perfect for running, walking, circuit training, etc. I tend to slightly overpronate and have medium to narrow width feet. These work great for my feet.

I've been loving these shoes. My choices are limited because I have narrow feet, but I have had zero complaints about these shoes. I like that they're narrow enough to be comfortable at my heels but aren't too tight around my toes (I have a much narrower heel compared to the ball of my foot). They're comfortable, they stand up to a lot of walking, and they also stand up to me sliding them off and on without unlacing them. Basically, they are shoes that I don't have to think about in the best way possible.

These shoes may not be the best looking shoes I've ever owned, but once they hit my feet I could not take them off! I have a narrow heel and a wide toe box and so I went up a size to allow some extra toe space. They fit so well, that I now own 3 pairs! I can't live without these shoes!

Brooks Ghost 14 are the best walking shoes I have ever owned. I tried New Balance, Saucony, and Hoka before ordering Brooks Ghost 14. These brands were no comparison to Brooks. Brooks Ghost 14 was the winner with a perfect arch, great color and style, and walking comfort.

I developed plantar fasciitis last year and have been having a real problem finding shoes that don't flare it up ever since. I tried the Brooks Ghost 13 last year, but they didn't work for me. This year I decided to give the Ghost 14's a try because of all the positive reviews and am glad I did. They're really great. They fit (although they are slightly roomy - I have to lace them tightly or the heel slips), they have a roomy toe box, and they look great. I bought the Black/Pearl/Peach and I must say, they look even better in person. I did have to change out the insole for my Aterex insoles, but I have to do that with all my shoes. I have even begun doing a few HIIT run/walk sessions on my treadmill with no ill-effects (something I have not been able to do without flaring up the dreaded PF since last year). I wear a size 10M. I may just have to get another pair.
