In general, these are great shoes as long as you don't mind replacing them at about 250 miles. I walk my dog about 2 miles 3 to 5 days a week on pavement. The reason I purchased these shoes was because they are touted as great for running on pavement. Silly me, I figured since I walk, I could squeeze a few more miles on them. Wrong! I got them in January. As an estimate, I've put between 180 to 250 miles on them and the soles are wearing out. The cushion on the insole is not nearly as comfortable. They fit well, they are comfortable. Heck, they even look good. But truly, they are not a durable shoe. Don't know about you but I can't afford to replace shoes every 6 months.

I really liked them - they were very cute! I was afraid they would be too flashy but the color and print was great. Sadly, they hurt my feet immediately and after just wearing them for a couple of hours my feet still hurt the next day. I've been wearing Ghost for several years now but something about the 14 didn't work for me. They were nicely made and I had plenty of toe room. I really am sad I had to return them.

Not as cushy as my Brooks Ghost 12. Returning and will try the Ghost 13.

My big toes feel squished in a way I?ve never felt in any other shoes despite sizing up.

Comfy shoes but I am surprised how fast the bottoms showed wear and tear.

I really liked the first pair of Ghost 14 running shoes I bought several months ago, and expected the new ones to be the same. The first 2 or 3 times I wore them, they were fine, but the cushions quickly lost support and caused big blisters to form on my heals.

I love the stylish design of this shoe! However, the footbed feels like I'm walking on cardboard. I'd like a lot more cushion. Disappointed.

I love the earlier ghosts but the fit of the 14 is weird. The heel profile is too low, and the shoe just isn't as comfy as the earlier versions!

The Ghost and Glycerine seem smaller than they used to be, and not as comfortable.

Very big arch support, extends into the heel. This model has changed from the ghost 12 I have, unfortunate.

The shoe fit true to size but not much arch support. About a half mile into the run the sides of both of my feet were aching terribly. Switched to my old Kayanos and no pain. Loved the style but unfortunately not enough support for me.

Tight fit in toe area. Will be returning. May have been defective. Will try another pair

Not as much cushion as the ghost 12 (my last pair). Toe foundation is much thinner and turns my door inward and downward. Feet hurt at the end of a 12 hour shift. Not as good as the 12s which I?ve heard from others but the look of the 12s doesn?t compare to the cute print on these 14s.

They are fine. They would be pretty but shoelaces are an awful neon pink that ruins the look. They feel okay when I run but not super cushy

My activity is power walking and I love everything about these shoes, except for the tread. Living in the PNW , they are VERY slippery on wet, gunky pavement and sidewalks. This is a new issue from the pair purchased previously, so wondering what has changed.

These shoes fit me well but didn't offer any support which I really need due to a weak right ankle.

Runs more narrow than other Ghost?s and laces are really short. Look great but not as comfortable as my previous pairs. Not worth the price at this point.

I need a shoe with a large toe box, and a narrow heel. Was hoping that these would work but they pinched.

I really wanted to like these shoes but they did not offer any arch support and very little cushion. Unfortunately I can only exchange these shoes. Hoku and ASICS are a much better fit for my feet.

While I love the design, I?m disappointed by the lack of cushioning. The toe area is also much wider than I expected. Overall, the shoe is of lesser quality and feels like it?s already worn down after a few weeks. Save yourself the money and get another pair of shoes. This will be the last pair of Brooks I buy full price.

I liked the fact that this was a "cushion" shoe, but not as much as my favorite Glycerine. Being on my feet all day and these shoes are not comfortable after about 6-7 hours.

These shoes hurt. These must be made for someone who overpronates and I don't. The run big. I wear an 11 in Saucony but these are too big and the heel slips a lot. I wanted a pair of black shoes that I could wear to work, but these have little reflector like things on the front corners sort of like turn indicators on a car.
