Overall I?m happy with the 14?s. I do however feel like there not at much cushion/support in front of the shoe. The heel and my arch are super supported and then it feels like way less from the arch to the front. I?m comparing theses to my 3 other pairs of Ghosts. My favorite so far were the 13?s. I as always ordered a 1/2 size up as well.

I would give these a 6 1/2 if the shoelaces would stay tied and if the fabric were not so light. These fit beautifully and are very comfortable except I'm continually tripping on laces that come untied.

This is my 6th pair of Brooks, this particular pair I am having some trouble with the right insole, it seems to have a higher arch than normal and it is causing discomfort. I love the Ghost line I have always been able to wear them with no problems but maybe not this pair. I have worn them twice and may have to return them as the right shoe is very uncomfortable.

The color was what I expected, but the shoe itself seems less well made than the ghost 12's. The shoe laces are not long enough and don't stay tied as well as the ghost 12's.

I like the bigger toe box in this shoe, more toe and wiggle room than my last pair of Brooks. But with my narrow feet I really have to cinch the laces so my heel doesn't ride up and down; otherwise my socks slide down. Almost just right.

The ghost 14 feels like the ghost 12 but the sizing is about 1/2 size longer. I have had about 30 pair of ghost shoes size 7.5 over the past 8 years and absolutely loved ghost models 7 through 12. The ghost 13 was softer than the other models, similar to the glycerin. The ghost 14 sizing is different than the previous models; the 7.5 is too long so I am going to try a size 7. I wear size 6.5 in most non-athletic shoes and boots.

I have an extremely difficult foot. My width is 4A with 7A heel. Considering that I’m happy with this purchase. Brooks and Ecco sneakers seem best for me.

Brooks ghost are the best shoes for my feet. I do size up 1/2 size. I have worn many versions of them for the past many years.... some I liked better than others and some held up better than others. These are super comfortable. I do not like the flat laces on these 14's at all. They are not nearly as good as the rounded laces on other versions of the Ghost and I do hope they go back to them.

Not as much cushioning as I would like, but better than other shoes I've tried. The shoe laces suck; they don't stay tied.

The Ghost 13 has more cushion and comfort than the Ghost 14. The mesh is more durable in the toe area than the 13. I would purchase the 13 again instead of the 14.

My Ghost 12 had the perfect width across the front of my foot. The Ghost 14 is not quite as comfortable. It seems narrower across the front width.

toe box on the wide was not wide enough for my D width foot. Ordered a 9 and could def use a 9.5.

One thing I love about Brooks is that I can order them online with confidence that they will fit and be comfortable. I love my new ones. The only thing is the shoestrings come untied because of the material they are made from. I have to double knot them. I believe you could do better on the strings. Otherwise, I'd recommend these shoes!

I was a fan of Ghost 9 and 10 and then had to switch to a different brand with Ghost 11, because the toe box narrowed. With Ghost 14, I am back and utterly thrilled with its capacious toe box. Like many others, I have "triangle feet" (regular heel, wider toe box), meaning that wide shoes are typically too wide in the heel and many "regular" shoes are too narrow in the toes. That narrowness is OK in non-workout situations. But with activity, toes like to splay (and sometimes get a bit larger with more intense blood flow). And the Ghost 14 is happy to accommodate that. Docked a star because the heel cuff gets a little too friendly with my Achilles, and the shoe is a little stiff. But overall, it's a hit for me, and I'm ordering more pairs, just in case Brooks opts to narrow the toe box again.

Pretty happy with them. My last pair of Brooks were Adrenaline 21 and the arch in them was not as good as my 19s. I had to buy inserts. So, this time around, I thought I would try the Ghost. The 14s had good reviews for arch support and others who had found they were better than Adrenaline. I've only worn them to Jazzercise class about 4 times so far so I don't have a long-term review, but so far, so good. The only thing I notice is that the toe height could use a bit more room. The toe box feels good, arch feels pretty good - don't think I will have to supplement that at least for now - and they are cute. We'll have to see how they hold up.

It?s my second Ghost. Very comfortable but looks a bit bulky. The laces do not stay tied. I have to constantly re-tie them. May need to replace the laces.

I'm a walker, not a runner, but I walk my dog in the city and in the country. These are about my 4th or 5th pair of Brooks. They are great from the first time I put them on and continue to keep my feet happy until it's time to throw them away. Thanks!

Toe box is a little smaller than I expected, so I ordered a half size up. But otherwise, the color scheme is fun and these make for a nice light pair of shoes for my rotation.

Read a lot of reviews and decided to purchase given my good experience with Ghost 12s, but these did not live up to the hype. These definitely did not offer the support I was expecting. They were about as supportive of my Ghost 12s after 400miles.

Shoes are super comfortable with lots of support. Only thing is the laces are always coming untied.

I usually wear a size 7.5 in running shoes, but these were rubbing against by big toe so I had to return. The size 8 seem to be a little big but I will probably stick with those

Love my Brooks shoes. However this recent pair, not sure if you went with a new type of shoelace, but they seem to come untied a lot. Almost like the material is to slippery. I have owned a lot of Brooks and never had this problem before.
