Shoes felt wonderful on feet, size 5.5 W. I usually wear a 5 but I preferred the 5.5 for a looser fit for the toe box, more wiggle room for toes/bunion. I also bought the size 5 but returned it. It's expensive but worth the price for the comfort on feet, can't wait to wear it for long walks.

These are my go to shoe for work. I tried a different style and was disappointed. These are the best for me to be on my feet all day.

Just replaced ghost 13 with ghost 14. Have been wearing Brooks ghost for a while now and they just get better. Love the fit, stability and comfort. Always a good day to get a new pair of Brooks!

The toe box seems wider than the 13. My toes had plenty of room. I love Brooks Ghost and am happy with the 14. I’m going to order a couple more pairs!! I wear a 8 1/2 wide in running shoes, but an 8 in regular shoes.

I love the Brooks Ghost 14!
You can’t go wrong with them for longer, endurance runs.
Since I’m in my late 30s, I can’t use the minimal shoes for distance runs anymore.
Brooks Ghosts are light weight, yet they provide ample support to keep my feet from getting sore.
For a shorter run, I may choose to go with the Brooks Launch due to the unbeatable lightness. they provide amazing support for the constant launching and landing on the balls of the feet during a run. They are also cool and ventilated for those hot weather runs. I feel faster in bright colors and the hot pink stands out when I’m running the streets.
Overall I give the Ghost 14 5 stars!
This is my go to shoe for endurance, pavement pounding runs!

These shoes were recommended to me by my daughter-in-law who is on her feet all day working in a hospital. This is the 3rd pair of Ghost 14s I ordered! I do replace the insoles with my own (have plantar fasciitis) and now walking a few miles my feet no longer hurt. I plan on taking one pair with me on vacation where I expect to do a lot of walking and taking public transportation. I have gray ones, blue with raspberry logo, and the all black ones. Will certainly buy more when these wear out.

I would rate these at a 4.5 if I were able to give half a star. The reason I don’t give all 5 is because they are a full size too small. I usually wear a 9.5 in women’s athletic shoes but had to get a 10.5. Other than that, these shoes are very comfortable because of ample room in the toe box - a must for me because of joint pain- and, they have good arch support - also a must since I over-pronate when I stand. All in all, I’m very pleased, just consider ordering a size larger than usual if you plan to purchase.

I like Brooks athletic shoes very much, they are the only shoes that help with my foot pain problem. I hope the maker will come up with a more stylish design that looks a bit dressy.

I have to return the shoe because it is too high in the heal. I need a prone neutral shoe

I have worn Brooks for years. On my feet most the day. I had not tried the Ghost but the reviews raved about them and how comfy they are. Supposed to be very cushiony. They actually are pretty stiff. Not as cushiony as I had hoped but I will keep them because the support is Brooks good.

Very comfortable running shoe. Cushiony and supportive. Only downside is the laces - slippery, flat and a little short. They come untied all the time while I am running. I haven't had this happen with my other running shoes (usually Asics).

I was disappointed in the lack of cushioning; very little under the ball of the foot. I had to add cushioning insoles for the shoes to be more comfortable. I wouldn't buy them again especially at the asking price.

I think this would probably be a great shoe for another person's foot. I have metatarsalgia (pain at ball of foot). These were comfortable everywhere except at the ball of my foot. The Ghost13 felt much better for me. I recommend you try both the 13 and 14 to see which works for you.

This is my 2nd pair of Brooks. I have Ghost 11 and have been so happy with them. They have been a go-to! When I decided they needed a break I thought trying another brand would be a solution, NOT! My new Brooks bring me reliability, comfort and a little style for these long, narrow flat feet! Just send me a sale alert so I can get another pair soon!

Narrow toe box for a wide foot. I purchased the wide and the toe box was way too narrow. The shoe felt firm and I wish the toe box was wider like the glycerin and I would have been sold on the shoe but it wasn’t comfortable for my wide foot.

I always wear size 11 in running shoes. These are adorable but the toe box almost felt too roomy. The cheetah fabric over the toe box felt less sturdy than the other fabric used in other colors. I ordered the light purple as well. Wanted them too work but to get them laced tight enough, the fabric scrunched up and didn't seem quite right. So back they go.

I usually wear a size 9C. These look great but are about 1/8-1/4" short. My big toe pushes into the edge of the toe box. I would have really liked these shoes if they were just a smidge longer.

I have bought numerous pairs of Brooks and been very pleased each time. I didn't notice before ordering these that they don't have the stylish and sturdy shoe laces anymore. These are plain black,flat and don't look like they'll last long. Wish they had better color options for the shoes themselves like past generations.

This shoe is really lightweight and does not have memory foam, so it's not quite as soft as some people might like. It has a mesh toe front, and if you have bunions or any bumps, it is not a large toe box. It was narrow for a "wide" width, so did not work for me, although I actually really liked the shoe.

Returning to purchase another Ghost 13. The 14 model is stable (even more than the 13) and well-cushioned. However, where the tongue on the 13 is soft-edged, padded and rounded where it meets the ankle, the 14 has a rougher, thinner tongue with angled corners that contact the front of the ankle. Some may prefer the thinner tongue.

Love the shoes, but not crazy about shoelaces. They are very thin and I worry they won’t last long. I’ve owned at least 20 pairs of Brooks and don’t think I’ve seen these kinds of laces before.

I had switched to ASICS for some time and this is my first venture back to brooks. I’m a neutral runner and so far I’ve been pleased with the cushioning and comfort. I’ve had issues with plantar fasciitis in the past. One thing I strongly dislike about this shoe is how slippery it is on wet ground. I went for a run when the pavement was wet, it wasn’t actively raining out, and I had to change my running gait as to not slip and fall. Unfortunately it seems I can only run in these shoes when it’s completely dry out or inside. I have no idea why Brooks would make a shoe with such poor tread.

I am a Brooks fan for years. Why tweet the Ghost 13 when it is perfect? Toe box seems a bit more narrow than the 13 and arch support seems off.
