The ghost 14 does not live up to past ghost shoes. The cushion wore down quick. My heels started hurting after about a month.

Please make more styles and keep a larger stock of wide width. They are almost always sold out. That should tell you something!! I have been a loyal Brooks customer for many years but just bought my first pair of a different brand based on the fact that they have a better variety of wide with. I go through about 3 pairs of shoes a year and got tired of having to buy the 1 same color over and over and that was only if I was lucky enough that they were in stock. You also never make the special edition in wide which is frustrating as well. You are excluding a large portion of your customer base. Read your reviews!!!

Wow I?ve purchased the ghost 10-13 and I have to say that I just truly believed that the 14 would live up to my expectations after all of my positive experiences with the previous models of the shoe but these are a complete disappointment. Not only do they feel CHEAP, they aren?t as soft and the cushion just isn?t what it should be. My feet hurt in these also. I really wish brooks would quit changing their shoes so drastically and advertising them as though they?ve made great improvements. It makes it hard for people who run regularly (and long distances at that) to find a shoe that they can rely on without having to find shop around for something different!

I've worn ghosts for years now.. they changed something and it's not for the better (for me at least). They do not feel very cushioned and the your box area is smaller which is causing discomfort... I've with them for a few weeks now and they haven't "broke in" yet.. unfortunately I think I'm going to have to return these and search for a new favorite shoe ?

I?m loyal to the Ghost, and have never had any toe pain or soreness while training since the Ghost 10?. I?ve finally given up on the 14 after 150 miles. I developed severe pain in my right pinky toe for the first time ever which makes me think they narrowed the toe box. Super disappointed. I?ve switched back to the 13 to train for my marathon and my toe is finally healing. Don?t change the toe box Brooks!

Let me begin with Brooks have been life changing for me. Unfortunately this Ghost is drastically different. I've ordered and ran in more Ghosts than I can count since the 10 model. The 14 rubs my heels and is narrower in the toe box. I have NEVER had to break in a pair of Brooks before. These may need to go back. Super bummed.

I wrote a previous review about the poor quality of materials and workmanship. I am attaching a photo for reference. The ankle part of the shoe started coming unraveled after wearing around house for a couple of hours.

I love brooks running shoes and wore them for years.unfortunately, the last 2 pair I’ve bought started to tear apart almost immediately. I bought these and wore them around the house before noticing the ankle seams were already unraveling. Very disappointing.

I?ve been wearing the Ghost shoes since the 12. I LOVED the 12?s! The 14?s not so much. I need a wide shoe and the Ghost 14 wide is not wide at all. I?m not a runner, however I wear mine at work in a supermarket where I?m on my feet for 8-12 hrs a day. I shop online orders and am moving my whole shift. I need a comfortable supportive sneaker and unfortunately these are not it. I have had multiple pairs the ghosts starting with the 12?s, since I walk so much. Please bring back the 14?s.

I loved my Ghost 13s, so when those wore out I gave these a try. I don't know if it's in my head but the arch support is much worse--by neutral they mean none. By the end of my long days, often 6 or more miles of walking, my feet HURT. Another downgrade is the cheapskate flat laces: they are too short, so if you use the extra laceholes for a heel-lock you barely have enough left to tie the shoe. Plus the laces are slippery and prone to come undone. Too bad--the black color w/ hot pink accents looks awesome, but these shoes don't make the cut.

Would love to try these as I have been a fan since the Ghost 5 and currently on my last pairs of 12’s and 13’s, but the set of colors on the 14 are quite possibly the worst yet.

Make my right foot sore from mid top of my foot, down the instep to mid arch. Same issue left shoe but not as bad. Have stopped wearing them, back to my ghost 12 & 13 which are worn. Will be buying new pair of 12 or 13s. Ghost 14 not good. Sorry I spent the money and relied on Brooks to produce another great ghost.

I have been wearing the Ghost's for many years. I am disappointed in the 14's. My leg/hips hurt ever since I have been running in them. Material and cushion not like the prior versions. Will have to go back to the 13's or try another brand.

I hate what Brooks has done to the ghost the Ghost 12 was perfect then came the 13 with a tongue that hits right at the ankle and is very uncomfortable, I guess they are trying to copy APL that also has this annoying design. When they had a great shoe like the Ghost 12 just put 13 on it and change the colors or add to them. Look at Vince Blair they have made this shoes for years and every year I buy more because it’s the perfect shoe I probably have 8 pairs and every year purchase a new pair in Black because I wear them out. These shoe companies need to learn to repeat and stop changing every year they just screw up a good thing. This is why I stopped buying Asiscs, they weren’t consistent and I’m not the only one that thinks this about shoes.
I'd also recommend:
Vince, Eileen Fisher, high quality shoes and Old Gringo boots

Colors are good, but that's about it. I don't know how people who loved the Ghost for so long like these. Maybe if you're a heavy heel striker, there is some cushion, but if you're a mid-foot striker, there's no cushion or shock absorbtion. I started on the Pure Connect which weren't high cushion and they were more comfortable than these. Hard. Sore feet and shin splints. Miss my ghost 10s. These are going back and I might have to ghost Brooks for a while because this is too many in a row I just don't love.

I read all the negative reviews and was hesitant to purchase the Ghost 14 - as I love my Ghost 13?s. Well - reviews are correct the Ghost 14 was a disappointment! I returned and bought 13?s. Brooks I hope you are listening - love the Ghost and want to keep running in them.

I have worn Brooks Ghost for years with great success, but this new version did not provide enough support for my feet and left me with pain in the side of my foot on the first run. I am going back to the 13s and hoping for more support on the 14s.

Very disappointed in the Ghost 14s. They don?t have nearly the cushion that previous versions had. My feet hurt at the end of the day with the 14s. The older versions almost felt springy when I walked. I will not be buying these again which makes me sad because these were my absolute favorite shoes in the past.

Sad to report that the Ghost 14 are not like the previous ones. I always rave about my Brooks Ghost sneakers but these 14s have my hurting. I have developed shin splints which I haven't had in YEARS and my feet just ache after my runs now. So very discouraging. Not sure if I should go back and purchase another pair of 13s or try a different shoe all together.

Very stiff. I think these are overly supportive so if you’re used to a little more movement in a shoe, these feel like wearing a plank of wood.

I've been a loyal Ghost runner for several years, so I was excited to see the Ghost 14 revealed. But the Ghosts and I will have to part ways for now. Brooks -- please bring back the model used for the previous version of the Ghosts. This toe box is very small -- even when I sized up a half a size! Like many Ghost fans, I will be now trying to snap up remaining Ghost 13 models that are in my size. So disappointing...

So what's with the short, cheap laces? Aside from looking cheap & feeling like they will not last long, they are so short that you cannot use the extra lace hole to fully snug the shoe to your foot. Such a small thing, but a big deal to me. It irritates me every time I put them on!

I have worn Brooks Ghost for running for about 10 years. This new model did not give my feet enough support. My foot hurt on the side about 2/3 if the way through my first run. Sadly I will return and buy the 13s again and hope for a more supportive shoe for the 15.
