I hate them. Stiff. Unforgiving. Returning them.

I've always worn the Ariels, but wanted to try something new. I loved the look, but it offered no arch support. It felt like my feet were rolling in all day. I really wanted them to work, but I had to return them. The return process was wonderful.

I ordered my usual size, 11M. These shoes were so small that I could hardly get my feet in them. Cute design but they went back.

I have four pairs of Ghost 13, these shoes were great. I purchased a pair of the Ghost 14 and they are terrible. Brooks made unnecessary changes between the 13 & 14. The 14's are more ridged and have less cushion. They are stiff and uncomfortable. I don't understand why they need to make silly tweaks. Plus I purchased them from Dick's sporting goods so there is no way I can return them. Their return policy is only 30 days, not enough time to find out how the shoe works. If you love the 13's stay away from the 14's. If you do purchase them, buy them from Brooks because they have the Run Happy Guarantee. I am NOT happy.

I have had Brooks Ghost shoes for around 10 years, ordering a new pair every year when the new one comes out. This is the FIRST time I sent these back! Specifically the Ghost 14. Brooks has redone these and lifted the heel slightly, but just enough to put more pressure on the ball of the feet and the toes.. I wore them about an hour and they had to go back! I don?t know why they don?t leave well-enough alone! That did it for me. No more Brooks until they fix this issue and get the heel and front foot on the same plane. I?m going for Hoka to try from here on. I was so disappointed! After wearing them for so long and now having to change. Also, I have to wear a 9 Wide in these, and they never have enough Wides. Never do they have them in the cool designs and colors.

This is the my 6 pair of Brooks over the years. I am not pleased with the Ghost 14. the Ghost were my go to shoe up until the 14. Something has changed with the arch and heel support. My feet hurt so bad after I wear them. Need to go back to the design of the Ghost 12's.

I've been wearing the Ghost for years and just got my new 14s. Love the color (lime green and black) but wow there's a reflective piece of plastic attached to the tongue and it makes the tongue so stiff it digs into my ankles. I've only run in these 4 times and I thought I was going to have to stop running today, I was in so much pain. Unfortunately I can't return these so I'm stuck with an very uncomfortable pair of expensive shoes.

I have worn Brooks Ghost shoes for years, but this model is significantly narrower than in the past. Returned.

I didn?t even run in my ghost shoes and top on both shoes fell apart. Won?t do anything about repairing or discount. Will not buy theses shoes pricy to come apart.

TOTALLY DIFFERENT than the Ghost 13. I?ve been wearing the Ghost line since they came out, I don?t know why Brooks changed a good thing. Don?t blindly order these- go try them on.

Had to return them. Very uncomfortable! Hard insole and the structure near the arch on the inside hurt.

These things snag on shipping carts even. Cheaply made and expensive as heck. Don?t buy; haven?t paid them off and wore them 4 days and they?re going in trash. Furious

Very disappointed. I've been a fan of Ghost 11-13 for the fiT & comfort. Mostly amazing comfort & CUSHIONING but sadly Ghost 14 has no comfort, very little cushioning, & my feet hurt constantly. Did not like the shorter tongue of shoe as this caused slippage in heel. Bring back comfort please!

The Ghost 14 has drastically changed from previous years. The shoe is significantly wider and longer. I've ordered the same size Ghost year after year and this one is a total disappointment.

I have been running for a long time. I literally got two blocks and had to walk home. Thinking they needed broken in a bit I started wearing them to work. Within two days I developed excruciating left heel and knee pain along with outer foot pain. This was in December. I switched back to my other running shoes but the damage is done. It’s March and no improvement. I even tried insoles and nothing. For years I wore Nike free or other neutral shoes without injury. As of today I limped home and am going to try and send them back. They are so pretty it’s a shame.
I'd also recommend:

I loved my ghost 13 shoes, I do not like the ghost 14, something changed, the cushioning in the shoe just is not right, my 13's I could walk 3-5 miles effortlessly, the 14's were sadly less than ok, very disappointed will be returning.

Sending them back!! Stepped out of my Glycerins and into the Ghosts and no comparison!! The Glycerins are much more padded and cushioned!! Will order more of them!

Unfortunately this is the first pair of Ghost (been running in them since they came out) that caused me some pain, achilles tendon pain to be exact. Gave them a shot for several runs but had to return. Bought up some Ghost 13s to bridge the gap until the 15 comes out later this year and hoping that the updated midsole addresses whatever the issue or change was between the 13 and 14. Brooks customer service was great and I got a full refund including shipping/taxes so no issues there.

I loved the Ghost 11's and the 13's were pretty good too. Unfortunately, the 14's make my knees hurt! I wear these during 12 hour nursing shifts and about a week after having these, I'm limping at about hour 5. The only improvement to the 14's are the laces- they're shorter, have better stretch, and are better looking, but who really cares about laces!? Buy the 13's while you can or start looking at other brands (I've tried every other Brooks style and haven't found anything I like). Let's hope the 15's aren't horrible too...

I?ve had 5 pair of Ghost 13. I thought the 14 would fit the same. They do not. The instep is not as supportive, the shoe feels narrow and the sole is stiff. I have worn them for one 4-mile walk. Can I return them? Ir, is there a place to purchase Ghost 13? Linda Levy
