The toe box was narrower than previous Brooks Ghost 14.

I have the Launch 6 Run Lucky shoe and was excited to see this Run Lucky Ghost 14. I loved the look of the rainbow Brooks logo, and also the overall print. They have a very nice feel underfoot, with lots of cushioning in the heel through about the ball of my foot. The toe area isn't as cushioned if you're looking for something a little more there. I was disappointed in the color of the side soles of the shoes. I think it was meant to be gold, and it did have a nice color fade toward the front of the shoe, but the gold color was just cheap looking. It was a bit garish between orange/yellow/gold. I couldn't help but compare it to my Launch 6 which have a true gold color. The Brooks logo was indeed rainbow-ish, but not as colorful/reflective as it looked in the photos online. There are not a lot of reflective elements on this shoe either, so if you are looking for something to help keep you visible during the darker hours, these shoes would not be good for that. I had one more concern with the shoes. They are super light weight, which is great, But I'm not sure how durable the upper will be. The main problem I had with the look of the shoe was how the upper looked along the laces. It's a stark white, seemingly raw material. It clashes with the darker green of the upper and along with the orange/yellow/gold sole just made it look cheap. The Ghost editions that I have had in the past were comfortable so compared to those, this has the cushion factor of a premium shoe, and if that's what you are looking for, that's great. But as for me, I'll be awaiting another version of the Run Lucky Launch to arrive.

The Ghost 14's have COMPLETELY failed in comparison to the Ghost 10's that I have. I have had the Ghost 10s for about 4 years and I wear them a lot and I am a heavy person. The 14s are ok but something is NOT quit right. They pinch my toe on the left foot. I think because you slinderized the toe area as opposed to leaving it roomy. Also, the support is better on the 10s. Please go back and maybe take a look at the 10s again. Absolute PERFECTION!

I ordered a 11.5N (my true size), but the shoes were too short. Since most shoes do not come in half sizes past a size 10, I frequently am forced to buy 12N or 12M and am sometimes left with shoes feeling too long for my feet. I was disappointed that the Ghost 14 seemed short; however, the quality seems good so I have reordered in 12N. They are lightweight, which is a plus. I have never purchased Brooks shoes before, but my podiatrist recommended this brand over New Balance (which I usually wear). I can't rate the comfort and style at this point (just 3 stars given), but I will update after I receive the 12Ns. My feet are so difficult to fit -- long AND narrow!

These are the only shoe I wear. I currently have 4 pairs of the 13 and 3 pairs of the 14, all the same size. This pair fits much differently than all the rest. It is wide, and honestly, even a little too long. Love the Ghost but this pair won?t be worn for running.

I love these, the color, shoe, and everything. I'm bummed that they are already starting to tear up though. I haven't had them very long and I don't even run in these. This shouldn't happen already.

Ghost 14 does not have enough support around it your ankles and Not enough cushion for your sole

I wear Ghost but these seem different. They are more narrow and bit smaller over all. I have found the “special ghost” run a bit different than the typical ghost

I wear these to work as an optometric technician, usually on my feet 90% of my day. I loved these shoes for the first 2 weeks, but then started noticing my feet hurt just as bad as they did before. Truthfully, kind of upset because I spent years talking myself into spending that much on shoes. They are made of great quality materials but I feel like they should have supported my feet a little better for the price. Also, I?m not 100% on the color I purchased; but they only have select few available in 10 wide and most of them were out of stock.

I?ve had multiple pairs of these shoes and they are not as soft and cushioned like they used to be. Seems like something about them has changed. I like the way they look, but disappointed unfortunately.

Purchase this item for my wife she was only able to wear one time for 45 min walk because the back end of the shoe by the heel gave her a blister. So now she doesn't feel comfortable wearing them.

The padding does not seem as soft as my pair of ghost 13s. Overall pretty comfortable.

Good fit but a tiny bit long so returned them. I guess they weren't my favorite color either.

I replaced a pair of Ghost 7s with these, and they look nice but they feel cheaper than the 7s. And they're squeaky - even after wearing them for several weeks, even on carpet. Comfortable, though, and much more cushioned than my worn-out Ghost 7s.

I ordered 2 pair of ghost 14, one for me and one for my adult daughter. She ordered done men?s size for width, I ordered womens. I have the ghost 13 and was very pleased. I liked them better than the Revels and Levitate because there was more room. I am disappointed that these are very tight fitting, maybe they will stretch. My podiatrists says that you should not wear tight fitting shoes for walking or running. Why did they change? They look great. I will be more skeptical about ordering from now on. I will go to the brick and mortar.

I don?t like this version as much as the 13?s. They feel more narrow, not as much cushion, and the laces are way too short. It?s a strange fit.

This is my first pair of Brooks shoes and I have to say that I am disappointed. I wanted to try them as originally I had been an Asics person. They felt great when I put them on, but it's a different story when they are in use. On the treadmill, the shoe laces were constantly becoming undone so I had to double knot them to stay. Then, my right foot arch started really hurting, but my left foot was okay. After a couple of runs, I realized it was due to the fact that the insole in the shoe was irregularly shaped-like it was a defective insole. The arch part went up too high and positioned my foot weirdly. I cut the excess and that helped. However, I just went to Disney for 2 days and my knees and feet hurt terribly after only a few hours of walking. I am reallyyyy disappointed in these shoes.

They run long not wide. I feel like my feet are flipping around. My feet immediately begin sweating as soon as I put them on. I’m not a fan. I will be looking to go with a new line. Very tired of Brooks letting me down, especially for the cost.

I'm not loving this one. Same size and width, but it feels smaller. Ghost 14 feels cheaply made. I have added cushioned socks to improve the feel. The shoes should last longer, but I prefer the predecessors. Sorry, Brooks, but, these will be my last Ghost shoes.

There is something different in this Ghpst. I wear Ghost 13 & love them. I have foot pain & when I wear Ghost 13 I have no pain. I bought the Ghost 14 & had horrible pain again. Please go back to the way you made the 13.

I have had several pairs of Ghost 13 and they were the most comfortable shoe I have ever had. Unfortunately, they seem to be doing away with them and have limited sizes so I bought the Ghost 14. These are not nearly as comfortable as the Ghost 13. They are super cute though. I would love to see these styles but with the fit and design of the Ghost 13.

Years ago around the Ghost 9 I think I exchanged my Brooks for Saucony because the tongue on the Ghosts was stiff and dug into my ankle. Went back to Ghosts for 10-13. So so sad to report that the 14 has the same issue. Will be returning. :(
