The 10.5 was too small and the 11 was okay, not great but okay. I was trying to find a pair with good cushioning. I’m not a runner but walk and do aerobics in my sneakers. I felt my knees would hurt after a day. Returned both pairs. I need a high toe box but not a wide toe box. It seems you can’t have one without the other. I feel like my feet slip with the wide toe box. I have older Brooks Ariels that are fine. I kept the pair of Ariels I bought because I wore them outside on a walk. The toe box is wider and not as comfortable for me.

This shoe in a wide is still quite narrow. More like a medium width. I had to return them

I have taken 8s in most athletic/active shoes I have bought. When I tried them on they seemed OK. However, afterI did some walking and my feet swelled, my toe was scraping the end. I loved these because they are light weight and more stylish than some shoes I have worn. The color was nice, too. However I gave these away to my MIL since they ended up being too small. BTW, you cannot fit an orthotic in these.

Was pretty disappointed. The shoes looked good and felt pretty good when I first put it on. However, when I was walking around indoors with it, I started to feel that the left shoe didn't quite feel right. I have pretty high arches and felt like I had so support. Returning these.

The quality of the ghost has gone down unfortunately. The sole os made of the interior quality material some of the other styles are being made from like the levitate. My calves and knees are hurting after 2 weeks. I normally start to feel this way when my sneakers start to wear out which until now with the ghost or glycerin was 2-3 months. Very disappointed

I'm tough to fit with a wide forefoot and narrow heel. The fit was fine but not enough cushioning for me.

I wanted to love these and was excited to upgrade after running in the 13s. Sadly, I developed hip and back pain after running with the 14s. I tried multiple times but will be going back to my 13s. I gave this 3 stars because I did love how light they are.

So frustrating that Brooks Ghost fit changes every year. Some years the wide has plenty of toe room other years…this year’s shoe …feels like no extra room was added at all in the wide. Ghost is a great shoe if only the sizing was the same every new year style. If you are a true wide you will not be comfortable in this year’s shoe.

The size was right; the toe box seems smaller than the Ghost styles prior to this shoe. My feet are not easy to please, and this shoe is just not for me.

Very disappointed with the new Ghost 14. I have had the Ghost 9, 10, 12 and 13; and I liked all of them so I had high hopes for the 14. Unfortunately, I was let down by what was supposed to be "cushioned". This is the stiffest pair of Brooks I have ever owned. I did like the toebox and the remainder of the design, but could not even walk in it for 1 hour before my foot was hurting.

I have been buying Ghost shoes for years?I recently got a 13 and it was like walking in clouds. I?m a bit disappointed with these 14s, though. Toe box is much narrower and as someone with bunions, that is a problem. They aren?t as cushion-y, either. And can I just say, what is up with the laces?!? When I took them out of the box I thought they were the cutest ever. As I tied them for the first time, however, they feel like paper - they won?t last long. Overall, one of my most favorite looking pair, but definitely the least comfortable. (I have 7, 9, 11, 13 and now 14s, for reference.)

When I first tried them on I was so happy as they fit very nicely, so I decided to wear them. Well when I started walking outside I felt like the outside side of the shoe was pressing my foot into a pronation and I already have pronating feet, so I took them off and redid the laces and put them back on and they did the same thing. I am so mad I wore them outside before I realized this. I am very disappointed because I really need a good pair of sneakers.

I'm so sad. I have wide feet and the Ghost line (in wide) has been my go to for years. I put on the Ghost 14 and could instantly tell that they were narrower than previous models. I thought maybe they would stretch or maybe loosening the laces would help. After a week or so of running I can tell you that neither thing happened or helped. My feet are mad at me. I'm happy I can still get the 13 while they are still floating around. Ladies with wide feet beware.

I didn't like the style on this. It felt very retro in the bright pink color. I returned it and got an older version of Ghost. This was only about looks, the shoe itself is excellent.

Brooke Ghost 14 is rated at being true to size, but for me they were far from it, and smaller on than other Brooks shoes (like Glycerin GTS21) that are rated to run small. Sizing on all of the Brooks shoes I've tried has not seemed true to size and I've been pretty disappointed and wondering if this is true of all running shoes??

Purchased a half size up from street shoe size, which is my normal for Brooks. Toe area still felt cramped in the wide so returned.

Arch feels like they are in the wrong place on both shoes. Cannot get a snug fit in the heel.

Significantly narrower than the 13s and tighter toe box. Definitely love the fit of the previous version compared to these.

These had more a a Ghost 12 feel which I LOVE. However, the toe box is larger and gaps funny on my foot. I also just bought the Ghost 13. They are a little ore firm than the 12 and 14 but the toe box is smaller on the top like the Ghost 12s.

I bought these 14 months ago. Very comfortable, and I wrote a good review when I received them. I have used them for walking (about 30 minutes a day), not running. The back of the shoes started wearing off about 3 months ago, and the fabric on top started tearing about 2 months ago. I called Brooks today. I was told that one should expect 4 to 6 months of wear from the shoes. I was taken aback. What a waste of design work, manufacturing, materials, marketing, shipping--all resulting in environmental stress if not degradation--and the cost to us. Suffice it to say that my next pair of sneakers will not be Brooks.

Didn't love these; they look clumsy on the foot-not super supportive or comfortable-wish I could return them...sigh:(
