Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 14

Work in healthcare, aka, on my feet all day. Also do lots of hiking and road walking. It has enough traction to make it good on the trails/terrain but also not too much where I don't like it on the roads. Great shoe! The laces leave something to be desired but functional. Now just would love to see it in a waterproof version for Seattle winters.

My rating is 4 stars as the reason I returned them were the subtle changes to length & width . A cm in length and a few mm in width across the arch. This factor combine with the 100% DNA loft changed the entire experience for me. The length with the added softness felt not as secure as I ran, like I might trip on my toe. The Ghost 13 was my dream shoe in fit as well as Cushion. If I hd know those changes and that If the 13 Medium fits perfectly, perhaps try shoes in both regular size as well as a half size smaller and a wide (if you usually run in Medium). And see which is preferable.

I have loved and used the Ghost series shoe for running for a long time. I am unhappy with how, over the years that certain things have cheapened. For example, the laces are a cheaper material and often don't stay tied causing me to have to stop my run to tie them or tie a double knot which is hard and annoying to undo when finished. The thing that I particularly don't like about my new pair of Ghost 14's is that the tongue is extremely stiff causing it to cut into the front of my ankle when I'm running. Why would you construct a running shoe this way? On all my other Ghost shoes this piece was pliable and soft and shaped differently so that there was not an opportunity for this to happen. The way this new 14 is manufactured doesn't make any sense to me. I have, over time, bent it and worked it in so that it doesn't do this anymore, but I did have sore fronts of my ankles for several days before the shoe was broken in. Can you please make the shoe with a softer tongue and shaped so it doesn't get in the way of the repeated action of running? Just look at past models and use the shape and softness that you did with those!

The fit and comfort are great. While running my joints feel supported and my runs are smooth. I am experiencing some lower back pain post running, however I haven't been able to pin point it to the shoes. I am hoping after a couple more runs this will work itself out.

Good looking shoes. Well engineered for walking but they run fairly narrow. Ordered wide and even ordered a half size larger but they still feel narrow.

I have plantar fasciitis and stand and walk on n concrete for 10 hours a day. My Ghost shoes are the only ones I can wear at work that give me any relief. I have two complaints however. 1. I really wish they would last longer, I only get about 3 months of continuous wear before my feet begin hurting again. 2. That the shoe somehow had support to prevent my feet from rolling to the outside.

I preferred the earlier Ghost versions with the thicker tongue.

I would prefer a shoe that does not have a white base, as it tends to get dirty quickly and not clean up totally white. This affects the age of the shoe and where I can wear it. I am a walker, not a runner.

First time buying this style. I sized up 1/2 a size like I normally do in Brooks. Very comfortable & supportive for my workout at orange theory.

I really like them. Only the shoelaces could be better, as they keep coming loose during my run.

Overall I love these shoes, but I'm on my second pair that have developed holes in the back around my ankle. The first pair I thought I had just worn them for too long, but the new pair is less than 4 months old and a hole has developed. Beyond that, they are great if you're a runner with plantar fasciitis, and they have a wider toe box which I love

Had to return. First I?ll say that the shoe is constructed well and looks good, but even though my feet are standard width, the toe box is too narrow. I also found the cushion to be very, very minimal and the foot bed too rigid.

One of two of my favorite shoes. Good support.
