The Ghost 14 doesn't fit the same as the 13. This particular style/color did not fit well at all. Loved 13s...14s not so much.

Based on reviews that the shoes were running small I ordered a half size larger than I had in the past. I ordered a wide width and they definitely did not run as wide as previous versions and the length was too long but a half size smaller would have not made a difference in the width. I've loved previous versions of this shoe, they fit wonderfully from the very first time I put them on but not the Ghost 14! Nothing comfortable about them. If it's not broken, don't change it! Bring back the fit of the previous versions of Ghost. They were a cute color but that's only helpful if I can wear them. Super disappointed and returned them. On another note the laces are horrible! Thin and flimsy. Need to return to previous versions of those as well.

Purchased, and dissapointed. The tongue is stiff - rubs against ankle until make bruised red mark- hurts! Th padding inside is not glued down- strings to short. Not sure what the hype is over these shoes, Ive had better feeling tennis shoes in other brands! I want a return or $ back plz!

Loved the look of the shoe but...it runs big and very wide. I do wear a wide and this could have worked but the 8-/2 was too long (my normal size) and the 8 didn't work. There is much less arch support then in the Ghost 13 and prior ones. Remove the arch support and notice how flimsy it is. I love the Ghost 13. They should make certain ones available even with the addition of a new model. Disappointing!

2nd pair of Ghost 14. First pair size 12/D med width. Fit perfectly as all the other Ghost models I've worn since the Ghost 8. Reordered in a different color, same size and width (or so I thought). Normally, I order ahead of time before I need the shoe and just leave them in the box but for some reason I tried these on when they arrived. Felt too small. Checked and they were a 12 but the width was B medium. ??? Reordered a 12 but with the D width which now is listed as "wide". Again, ??? Props to Zappos for their customer service but the larger width of the replacement still feel like my toes are a little cramped. I thought the wider size might have fixed that. I even tried one of the current pair on one foot and the new one on the other foot and there is a definite distance. I need to return these for a refund now.

I absolutely LOVED the Ghost 13s, but these are different somehow. My feet and knees are a lot less happy and my gait feels off. I've gone back to wearing my old shoes, even though they are worn on the bottom and heels, because they are so much more comfortable.

This was my 4th time buying the Ghost shoe. And this one is not near as comfortable and fits more narrow than previously. Not sure what changed.

This was a huge disappointment. The quality is just not what it should be. I have worn Brooks for years. The arch support was so small (some but not even moderate) and bare any cushion in the shoe. I tried 8-1/2 and way too long, then size 8 and too short. Arch did not hit where it should. I am in the Brooks 13 now and LOVE them.! The 14 run wider than all others, but good for a wide foot. Itwould be great to offer and keep some of the series for those that work for them. Just not the same, Returned

I have worn Brooks Ghosts 11, 12, and 13 in a 9W and they fit perfectly. This Ghost 14 9W felt longer and narrower. I tried on a pair of Ghost 13 9.5 M I had bought previously (for the color-such limited options in wide widths) and they felt about exactly the same as the 14 9 W. The 14s noticeably cramped my pinky toes. Like so many others, I don't understand why Brooks makes significant changes from model to model-more cushion or support, OK-but not at the expense of fit.

Brooks Ghost 11, 12, and 13!!

I’ve worn Brooks Ghost for years, and these are not like the others. After 2 weeks of wear, my knees were hurting like crazy. This model is definitely not like the previous ones.

My arches are sore after using them. Will have to return. I need arch support because of prior plantar fasciitis. Thought the ghost would be good for that but it?s made it worse.

I have worn Brooks Ghost shoes for many years. I recently purchased the Ghost 14 special edition for St. Patrick's Day, and I am very disappointed. I can wear previous versions of the Ghost shoe all day, and my feet are comfortable and don't hurt at the end of the day. With the new ghost 14 shoes, my feet hurt about halfway through the day, my knees and legs hurt, and the instep on my foot is sore the following day. They are much softer than previous versions, and don't provide the support of the previous versions. My favorite Ghost shoes are Ghost 12. They are comfortable all day and don't make my foot sore the next day. Please return to the previous design! This is definitely not an improvement for an avid Ghost wearer. Also, the shoelaces are very, very short, and barely tie in a bow.

This shoes were great for the first 3 months. They were comfortable and looked great. After running 120 miles on my treadmill the cushion is flattening to the point that I feel pain when running in my shins and feet. The fabric is even starting to be damaged around my ankle. I’ve already had to order new running shoes which is not ideal for the price. They are super cute and started out so promising

I have Ghost shoes that I bought 2years ago. The two I just purchased seem wider than the older ones. The size is the same-12D. They feel alright but just a little too much room in the front.

Wore them a couple of days & had to discontinue wearing them-seemed to cause hip & knee pain. Toe box seems more narrow too. I?ve worn Ghost before with no problems.

Very disappointed that they changed these shoes. They seem narrower and not much arch support. I was a devoted customer (like a new pair every 3 months), but these old nursing feet are sadly going to switch brands. Why did you change? So unfortunate.

Both shoe laces broke the first time I put them on. Any way to get new laces? Otherwise they fit great!

The last Ghosts I bought were 11s, and they are great. I assumed these would be the same and bought the same size online without trying them on first. They were one size too small. I went to a local store and tried on four different sizes but they were all uncomfortable. I don't have a wide foot, but these are just too narrow. Luckily, the return process was easy. I hated that I couldn't exchange them because they were so pretty! But in the end I wound up with a pair of Glycerin 19 GTS instead. Those feel much better.

I usually love the Ghost shoes, but the midsole drop on the 14 seemed lower than previous Ghosts. I returned the shoes. Interestingly, that midsole drop # was not listed on the website but is listed for the Ghost 13 and others.

Not for me. The sole was too hard and stiff. I need something firm yet with cushioning. Back they go.
