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!

Totally different tgen Ariel. I have worn tge grey oaie so have to keep them. I would like to return the black pair. They do not meet my needs for stability combined with comfort. How do I return the pair not worn.

The shoe 's tongue is only stitched towards the edges.The edges are open so the mesh will fray extremely early during wear. The shoe itself has very low depth so wearing peds or summer socks makes them tight. For me the sneakers do not breathe well. If I didn't need my size( 5- 5.5) or a pair of sneakers so badly, I would have returned them. Not comfortable at all. Not worth the price.

After a couple of weeks, the tongues of the lilac colored pair rolled in at the sides as I wore them causing pain on the top of my foot. Awful expensive purchase!

Not nearly as much cushion as previous versions. Barely got 300 miles on them before my feet were killing me. I quickly got online and bought the Ghost 13s again before they were gone. I hope next years are much better. And of course there are the laces! Please change back to rounds laces!

Been using the ghost series since the 10?s and for some reason with the ghost 14?s I purchased, I have developed Achilles tendinitis. Not sure if something changed with the heel drop or the removal of the bio mogo foam but I do not have the same issue when I run in my ghost 13?s.

I have 4 pairs of Adrenaline in size 10 but these were too narrow across the toes. They were fine on flat ground but going on a down slope was uncomfortable. I wish they would have worked as I loved the color combo.

I used to love the Ghost line. They were comfortably wide enough for my multi surgery feet, they were soft with nice cushion. But the pair I recently received are awful. The material feels like plastic. Not soft at all. And even though I ordered wide, they're tight and feels like the shape or cut of them is narrower. I'm sad to say, whatever changes you made are now enough to keep me from buying again. I'm heartbroken as they were my favorite runner for years.

Ordered a new pair of Brooks Ghost 14 didn't occur to me they'd be so different from my 13s. The 13s where perfect. Saved my foot from plantar fasciitis. The 14 is too tight in the toe box. I even tried the wide and I don't have a wide foot! Super disappointed and sending them back. Ended up buying the Glycerin.

Reason for 1 star-I should have ordered 1/2 larger. Otherwise I am a huge fan of the Brooks sneaker

I am so disappointed in my ghost 14. Why do you change the shoe all the time. There was a period where I did not buy Brooks because they changed them for the worst. My ghost 13 were perfect. Roomy,perfect size, the ghost 14 is snug, runs short,my feet were burning in them, not as much cushion as 13. Horrible shoe. Now I have the hassle of having to send them back. Very disgusted

I purchased the Ghost 14 after wearing and loving the Ghost 13. The 14's are a complete different shoe! The footbed/toe area is a lot more narrow and the cushion and support is less. The overall quality of this shoe is so disappointing. I returned them! Unfortunately the Ghost 13s are almost gone in my size. Make more Ghost 13s!

Thought they would be a great replacement for the adrenaline gts 21, but really poor fitting. Never had issues with my IT band until I wore these for an 8km run. Pretty disappointed.

Seems like a total departure from previous versions. The fabric is stiffer, the fit is way too tight, the shoelaces are cheap and short. Thank goodness you still make the Ghost 13s.

I ordered a full size up. The shoes had obviously been worn. The smell when I opened the box in my living room was overpowering.
I am returning them.

I?ve worn Ghosts for going on 10 years now. These are the worst incarnation of this shoe I have ever worn. The support is nonexistent. It has thrown my whole stride off. Not happy I spent so much and now I?m stuck with them.

Bring back Ghost 13! They were perfect for me. This 14 is not as wide in toe box. The heel area is wider. Absolutely did not work for me at all.

Ghost! What happened to you!? You're not the same at all! First of all, Ghost, you're bigger, by like.. a half size. We went from going steady for 6 years and now we're breaking up... You were a trusty size 7 and always performed without question. This new you... you're bigger, wider and stiff as a board! There's no give to the new you. I took three steps and knew this could no longer work. I am so sorry... we're breaking up. (As an avid Ghost wearer I am now searching for any color I can find of the 13. The 14 is just not good for me.)

I so wanted to love this shoe but even buying the wide width this shoe is too narrow. Not in the toe box but in the actual shoe. Please make more women's shoes available in extra wide width. Not all of us have a dainty narrow foot.
