I usually wear 8.5M in sneakers but got this in the 9M because I have an older version of ghost in 8.5 that feels too short. The 9 was fine but I find the shoe doesn't have enough volume on top. I have low volume, skinny, bony feet and the laces felt uncomfortable no matter how much I loosened them. I had the same problem with my older Ghosts, and also the Glycerin that I tried recently. The toe box is wide enough and my narrow heel doesn't slip, but I guess Brooks just don't work for me. Hoka fits great but I find them so much uglier.

The shoe fits ok, but the design of the tongue presses against my ankle, irritating it, and will, eventually, cause a callous.

The Ghost 14 does NOT fit true to size like Ghost 10, and neither did Ghost 13 for me. The shoe in this generation and Ghost 13 are sized too short and therefore created tightness and pain in my toes and outer lateral sides of the foot. Going up a size might help but I?ve never liked to change my shoe size. Previous Ghost generations have been a perfect fit - the ONLY shoe I keep coming back to year after year. Loved, loved the Ghost 10 not only for its perfect fit but also endurance ? put 600 on a Ghost 10 and 530 on a Ghost 12, which was ok too. Please fix the fit and keep it that way!

The Ghost 14 does NOT fit true to size like Ghost 11 or Ghost 13. The Left shoe in this generation is sized too short and going up a size ruins the positioning of the arch. I have a narrow toe box, narrow heel, high arch, and run like a sprinter. Previous Ghost generations have been a perfect fit - the ONLY shoe I keep coming back to year after year - but the Ghost 14 is an epic fail. Fortunately, my local shop had 1 remaining pair of Ghost 13 in my size. Please fix the fit and keep it fixed :)

I so wanted the ghost 14 to be better then the 13.. The 13 killed my arches and so does the 14. My first time buying brooks was with the 13. And was hoping the update with the 14 would work but its it seems brooks just isn't the shoe for me....I really wanted to be a Brooks fan. But I also cant take the pain in my arches..Did not have a problem before Brooks..But I did like the style and color of the 14..

I've been wearing Ghosts as my main walking/running shoe for several years, but I can't wear the Ghost 14. The main issue is that the toe box is too short and narrow, while the heel is slightly too loose. I like the improved cushioning, but the narrowness of toe box and arch are really disappointing. I read in the description that the material on the upper part of the shoe is supposed to form to your foot, but it just rubs and causes compression.

These shoes run small, but we’re still comfortable enough for me to decide to keep. I’ve been wearing them for about a year now and what bothers me most is how pebbles and grit are always finding their way into these shoes. I’ve never had a pair of sneakers that was so porous. Mel’s wearing them pretty uncomfortable.

After only wearing these shoes for short times, they are tearing up on the inside. Not near the quality of my previous Brooks Ghost shoes. Shame on Brooks for not keeping up the quality. I wrote Brooks and not any kind of response.

For and size was great, but these sneakers are not made well and fell apart. Rips around the rim of the sneaker by heel and plastic coming out inside the heel of the sneaker. Only wear these to do 40 minute HiiT classes and shouldn't be wearing down like they did.

I've been buying brooks for years and have had many pairs of Ghosts. This version is not good, the way the heel is made I can't even stroll around in them without pain and blisters. They are not fit for wearing, very disappointed. I've only worn them 4 times and was hoping they would get broken in and do better but I've never had this problem with any pairs of brooks before and buy and wear them exclusively. The last few pairs there have been problems with, I'm sorry to say I need to consider switching brands as the last 3 pairs have had an issue that wasn't tolerable. It's unfortunate.

I typically love my brooks. Something about the way these ones were made though is off. I ordered my normal size, they didn't felt and felt cheaper in construction. The cushion I normally felt in my brooks was just not there.

I liked the look of the shoe however the shoes doesn't provide much cushion. I found the shoes very uncomfortable. My feet tend to hurt after I wear them for an extended period of time

These shoes were great until they developed a hole in the heels after very mild wear and less than a year of ownership. For context, these were not used as a running shoe, just an occasional comfort sneaker for mostly indoor use. No hiking, no road running, no crazy terrain or everyday wear. The hole eroded through the fabric revealing a hard plastic piece that made them unwearable. I got really bad blisters and cuts. Disappointed in a ~$120 shoes and will be returning for a refund.

Fit smaller than previous generation and laces are too short. They are barely long enough to be tied and it makes them tighter than desired. Did not have this problem with earlier model.
