How it ranks
The Brooks Ghost 14 is one of the strongest daily trainers in our data. Durability and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 66 runner reviews and 13 other rated shoes in the Ghost product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

I liked running in these shoes. I'm bigger than average (6'4" , 200) and these shoes held up well. Great value for the money.

Overall
Have run in four pairs of Brooks Ghost. Very good cushioning for a late-50s guy, 155 lbs/6' -0" with around 115,000 lifetime miles. My previous version Ghost has over 1,000 miles on it, and I still wear it for muddy runs. Enough cushion, but not too much. Responsive enough for faster days. I recommend them to many of the high school runners that I coach.

Lots of cushion. works well all around easy-strides. Not amazing for long tempo/speed work.

when else is ther to say? Great nutral road running shoe. i shit my knickers. no worries , bedcause there is a spot in the back of the shoes where you can fit a few wet wipes to carry on your runs. have raced 57km ultra and up to 100km ultra in these shoes. have raced local mountain races too. ripped the outside of the shoe after 1300+km (800+ miles). treat the shoe with respect and you will be larfing all the way to the bank. also go with half a size up for US size, my feet measure 10.5 US so I wear 11 US. have worn through tree pairs of Ghost 13s and just got my third pair of 14s.
Thank you.
