This shoe is so uncomfortable that they are impossible for me to wear. They may be perfectly fine for other people,

I don't know what happened to this brand but after having worn Brooks for many, many years for the support and comfort for running w/bunions, they have totally cheaped out, and these sneakers caused much back pain, and my toes wore through the front in less than one month. I just switched to Hoka - so far superior to these awful sneakers. I contacted Brooks on their IG page and was told to buy a size larger, which does not fix the problem that these are so very cheaply made

Terrible new model of the Ghost line. No cushion and seems cheaply made. Switched to Hokas and love them. Have bought Brooks for decades but very dissatisfied with how often they discontinue and degrade their models.

i've worn 9B ghosts since the 7. order 'em, get 'em, and they fit like cinderella's slippers. i ordered the 14 in 9B and the fit was terrible. too small, right shoe even smaller than the left. i had to send them back. went to my local runner's shoe store and ended up with a women's 10.5B. so, i guess it worked out, but..

I like to start by stating ?I?m not a runner.? I ordered these after trying the REVEL 5?s on for size/fit. I work with a handful of people who wear and swear by Brooks, so I just assumed I would also become a Brooks owner. I wasn?t impressed by the fit/feel of the Revel 5?s so I had HIGH expectations for the Ghost 14?s. Sadly, I wasn?t as impressed as I had hoped I would be. Slightly more cushion than the Revel 5?s, I still found the heel to be a snug fit that left me feeling like these would not be a good match for me and over 15hrs/day on my feet. I ended up returning these as well.

Prior running does were Asics which I loved and they fit well, but read that these Brooks Ghost 14 shoes were the top rated running shoes and wanted to give them a try. I wear a 9 in the Asics. Had to send back first pair of Brooks to size up to 9.5. Liked style and they were very light. My 1-star rating is for how they felt while running. Compared to my Asics these had zero cushion and my feet and legs immediately hurt. Feet hurt afterwards from the lack of cushion and I barely ran - just 1.5 miles on a flat treadmill. I am going back to my Asics - so disappointed!

heavy. It hurt the soles of my feet. I couldn't walk for two days. They are comfortable around the ankles. But they are very heavy and the interior of the shoe is irritating. I don't wear socks. These are not for someone with hands and foot syndrome caused by cancer treatment. Someone with healthy feet might enjoy them.

New Balance always.

I'm not sure what changed but these are NOT the same Ghost as in the past. First, they have very little cushion. I wore them once and have a blister on the top of my foot from the weird fit I think the run bigger than past pairs but the fit and comfort is so off I had to return these and am currently looking for a new pair of running shoes that are more comfortable

Nice toe box, good color, could have and should have been a great shoe. Every time I wear them I have resulting rt foot and hip pain that’s now to the point I need medication and a cane! Changed back to old brooks shoes and Naot sandals— issue is resolving with that and Dr. Intervention. I’ve considered the possibility that this pair is defective in some way…I have loved brooks shoes and have had many—Can’t wear these.

I love the colors but there is very little cushioning in this shoe. I do not recommend if you have flat feet or bunions.

these shoes were terrible for me. I don't know why shoe companies do not sell previous "models" of shoes just because they come out with a new one. The ghost 13's are perfect for me these 14's of course are made different. I barely made a 1/2 mile and my feet and knee was killing me! Stop discontinuing previous shoes !!

Brooks seems to have changed their sizing. I always wear an 8 1/2 N in the Ghost. Given that the last pair of Ghost 13s I ordered were shorter than normal (but wearable), this time I ordered my regular size and a 9 N. Both were very short in length to where I could not wear them.

The Ghost 14 is different than the prior Ghosts I have run in. There is so much toe box space that one walk through my house told me they would be too sloppy to run in. Hope a future Ghost sneaker is more like the previous ones.

The cushion on the insole of the shoe is not any where close to what it should be? as a casual runner, I?ve tried many shoes and would rather reach for an older pair with more cushion than these for a run. Suffering with back and hip problems, I?ve relied on my Brooks shoes and ALWAYS found them great? until these. The fit around your foot doesn?t feel the same as previous ghosts. It?s almost too narrow now where your foot doesn?t sit in the shoe correctly. I wish I could return these and try a different brooks shoe. Disappointed in these ghosts as I?ve normally had great luck with brooks.

I was replacing a pair of ASICS for these, and the quality is not nearly as good. There is a structured and padded heel, and ridge enough for stability but the midsole and footbed feels extremely cheap. My feet were hurting from impact in the first wear and the bottom of my feet were blistered, which has not happened to me before. I don’t think these shoes will even last a year base the quality of the midsole. Absolutely not worth the price, and with the return policy not allowing to return after wearing. I now am stuck with a pair of $130 shoes that I don’t want, save your money.

So disappointed. I've been wearing Brooks Ghost for years (after switching from Asics). This version caused overpronation - which is not a problem I've ever had before. Immediate knee, hip, and lower back pain. And, the choices in colors (grey or black) were too limited. On the hunt for a new brand.

Not cushiony at all; feels like your walking on cement blocks. I was disappointed in the 13 but these are way worse. My worn out shoes are more comfortable than these. Been wearing Ghost for years; don't know what I am going to wear now. Bring back the Ghost 10 please!
