My physician has told me to get wider shoes, which means a D width. I love Brooks shoes, but the pair I had recently, which was aB width was too narrow. My feet have spread out, and wearing a more narrow width is painful. The D width in Brooks does not seem wide enough. I’m not a runner, so I don’t need running shoes. However, I would like a light-weight shoe in a wider width. What shoe comes in a wider width thanD? My physician recommended New Balance and ASICS. I will be returning my Brooks Ghost 14 in size 9D. I will contact Zappos later about trying either New Balance or ASICS. I don’t want to down-rate the Brooks shoe because it does not fit me properly. The problem is more with my feet than with the shoe.

I have worn Brooks Ghost brand shoes for 5 years. I never shop for a new show, I just buy a new pair. However, I will have to say this last pair is not as usual. The foot bed is not as comfortable and I am having some right foot pain that seems aggravated after wearing these shoes. Maybe coincidence. I think I might try a different brand though.

They are not what I expected on the inside. For the price I expected more comfort.

Shoe was far too wide and because of the stubby 'round' toe, it bumped into my big toe on both feet (my feet are oblong in shape in front, not round). I see that many manufacturers are now bragging about their 'round toes'--I think this is bad news for me and people whose feet are like mine (my big toes are about 1/2 an inch longer than the other four toes).

Brooks certainly cut back the wide width measurement on the Ghost 14 compared to earlier versions. The bottom foot padding seems greatly reduced from the Ghost 12 (this seemed to start with the Ghost 13) Also the flat shoe laces do not like to remain tied compared to the earlier versions of Ghost from 13 on down. The Ghost has changed dramatically since the 12 including the padding around the Achilles and ankle area, the foot bed and upper tongue flap. Not sure if the less wide W width, the loss of padding in the foot bed, ankle and Achilles area and tongue as well as the flat laces are all cost cutting measures but I am saddened that I cannot find the correct Brooks for my feet anymore.

Not comfortable the first couple times of wear. Now they are ok but not my primary go to for rehab of an ankle fracture and plantar fasciitis.

I wore the Brooks Ghost 14 GTX (waterproof version) daily for a full year and always felt comfortable, but when I tried the non-GTX version in the very cute purple, the toebox felt too narrow, and my foot felt cramped. It seems like the sizing might be inconsistent between GTX and non-GTX or between colorways.

Not as supportive as the previous ghost generations. Disappointed since I loved my 12 & 13 version.

I'm not sure this is the right shoe for me. I use them for work, so mostly walking and comfort. I have worn them three days so far this week and am having some pain in the heel and along the outer area of the right foot. If I need to call to speak to someone, I'm glad to do that. Thank you.

These did not feel the same as an older pair I had. Am disappointed but ok. Not bad enough to return. Just don't wear as much as not that comfortable.

The fit is good, however, I prefer the Ghost 13. The 14 seems to have a narrower toe box and less heel cushioning.

Don?t know what you did to the 14?s but they are different than the 12 ?s. They narrower. I always get a wide width.

nice shoes although a bit lacking in arch support. Sizing seems about 1/2 size smaller than marked. The pair delivered to me was damaged. The fabric in toe area had flaws and was tearing as if overstretched when manufactured. Not certain about durability.

The shoe laces weren’t the same as previous Ghost shoes; they seemed thinner and cheaper, they would not stay tied even when double knotted. The outer sole seemed to wear out faster. I wish I could get Ghost 13 models.

I really wanted to like these shoes however the Brooks Ghost 14 is narrower in the toe box than I need and won't work for serious walking. The Hoka Clifton 8 is still the best for my flat feet.

I've had several versions of the Ghost. The Ghost 14 is definitely more narrow than my last pair which is Ghost 12 - I even measured the width with a tape measure. I usually were a regular width but I placed another order for my size in a Wide to see if that helps. Disappointed because the Ghost 14 size 8 was uncomfortable when usually I can wear them right out of the box.

I love the shoes but the laces are the absolute worst. I have to stop several times during each session to re-tie them.

I have been wearing Ghosts for several years now. They are getting more and more narrow in the toe box unfortunately. I don't know why they have to change them. I almost returned these and might still. I am not enjoying feeling like I can't wait to get them off after a long walk or run. They are stretching a bit now.

I loved the Ghost 13 and was excited to try the Ghost 14. I bought the same size but when I tried them on the Ghost 14 were to big. I compared my ghost 13 sneaker with new 14 and the Ghost 14 were noticeably bigger. I ended up returning them .

it could use a little more cushion on the middle sole.

The fit is ODD. The ball of the foot area is supper wide and shoe fits weird. After all the great reviews I gave it a try and tried hard to love them but actually "NOT" hate the fit on my specific feet which have high arches. These sneakers feel like little "stumps" is the closest word i can come up with.. Hopefully can return or will donate.
