Unlike my Ghost 13 this version is too small when using it with foot levelers.

I loved the look and style. But they hurt my feet immediately and I tried them for 2 weeks before deciding they weren't right for my feet. I guess I need more cushion and arch support.

I'm not a big sneaker person. I prefer boots. So I would say these were adequate

Ghost 14 are just ok. I don't think I will purchase them again. I like the Ghost 13 much better. They hug my foot better and it feels like the 13 have a little more cushion.

I usually run in the Launch and I found the Ghost a little too heavy for my liking especially after long distance.

I wanted to love them but the foot bed was too narrow. Had to return. So disappointed!

Im not a runner, bought for work in a factory and didn't like them. Needs the rail runner, they hurt the side of my foot. Will look for a different pair.

The steps are very comfortable but as time goes by my toes seem to be cramped on top and it?s very uncomfortable it seems like my second toe is being pushed back and folded as I walk?.I was thinking if I should have gotten half a size up than my regular shoe size?I regret buying it

I have a narrow heel and I have orthotics and over pronate. It worked but the toe box is rather wide. I kept it because of the heel. It's tough to have a mixed last. It really doesn't give good support . None of these mesh toed sneakers are that good in my opinion.

Hi, I ordered 2 pairs "9.5 Narrow". The odd thing is that they seem exactly the same as the Medium. -?? I had previously ordered a pair before I saw that "Narrow" was an option, so I have the same sneaker at home to compare. My foot still slides forward even with a Dr. Scholls insole. But the toe box seems wide enough that my toe doesn't hurt and I have no other sneakers to wear... Are some just marked Narrow because that shoe is less wide than other Brooks styles?

I wore my new Ghost 14 for an 18 mile race and by the end of it the tongue had rubbed on both of my legs to the point of bleeding. I am not sure what changed about the tongue between the 13s and 14s but I know I will be wearing taller socks if I plan another long run in them. Other than that the shoes were still very supportive and provided a good run.

I was hoping they would be a bit more comfy. Compared to another brand I wear, that are cheaper, its about the same... but the design is beautiful

Unfortunately, the Ghost 14 (8-1/2 Wide) was just a bit too tight across the ball of my foot, and my big toe rubbed up against the front of the shoe. It *almost* fit and I wish it did, b/c I like the cushioning, the style (black with black soles instead of white or gray), some arch support, room for an orthotic with better support... but it was just too tight. I may try a half-size up
I have a difficult time getting shoes to fit (wide front foot, narrow heel, high instep, need good arch/metatarsal support)
For anyone with similar issues, FYI I got the Hoka One One Clifton 8 and it is a very similar style as Ghost 14, but has just a bit more room in the toe-box -- not a lot, but every little bit helps :-)

The shoe has a comfortible fit but no enough cushion along the sole. My sense is that it use to have more cushion but it has been reduced.

Not as comfortable as I was told they would be. Plus customer service said they run a lil small so I got an 8 instead of my 7.5.

These shoes are very cute but the soles are as hard as a rock!! This is supposed to be Brooks most cushioned shoe. If cushion is what you need, these are not for you!

I had gotten the first ones, but they were too tight sent back. Well when i got the other pair it wasn?t what i wanted the ones i wanted were cheetah bottom with black on top. They sent the all purple. Not satisfied at all and now I?m stuck with shoes that are ugly and not what i wanted. Next time I?ll just go with someone else. Another company that will send me exactly what i want

I have plantar fasciitis. These shoes were recommended to me by a few people. Also when I looked up shoes online. Google said these were great support for Plantar fasciitis. They helped for like 3 weeks. But then they got a little flat.. my feet hurt again.. ive been to the doctor and there's nothing they can do until Nov.

I purchased the Ghost 14 in an 8 Wide. I can wear a 7.5 Wide or an 8 Wide in sneakers. The Ghost 14's were tighter in the toe box than my Ghost 13's and felt like my toes were too close to the end of the shoe and the top of the shoe. To compare sizes, I then purchased the Ghost 14 in an 8.5 Wide. The 8.5 fits in the toe box but the shoes are too big and my heels are slipping. As I can wear a 7.5 or 8 it doesn't make sense that I should need to purchase an 8.5. For the Ghost 15, please go back to the sizing for the Ghost 13. Many people purchase a new pair of Ghosts every year and should be able to consistently buy the same size each year. I have seen many reviews with the same issue I am noting, that the sizing is off in the Ghost 14.

They looked wonderful, but did not fit me as the toe box was neither wide enough or high enough. I did try the "wide" but the last narrows by the time it got to my toes. I have a neuroma between two toes on each foot so I need a shoe that is wider at the toes. Fortunately, Hoke sneakers work for me.

I picked these to use for cushion at a stand up desk and because they came in all black. I returned them and swapped them for the Glycerine instead which simply was more comfortable. I know this is a running shoe, moving in them is more comfortable than just standing in them. the outside edge of my foot wasn?t comfortable and didn?t feel supported. Just didn?t meet my needs, returned them. The Glycerine works way better, bought 2 pairs. One to keep clean and Connor to work only and the other for running.
