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 have been running in brooks ghosts since the ghost 10, shoes hold up well, can take a lot of miles and work equally well on both pavement and trail, a good solid trainer

Overall
Comfy, smooth ride. Been wearing Ghosts since their inception. Can always trust fit right out of box, no break in required. Neutral cushion, arches. Just a classic, best running shoe. However, I do find them breaking down sooner now vs 5 years ago. Too bad, as not only expensive but wasteful from environmental aspect.

Overall
I like this shoe a lot and am always able to find it on sale so I keep wearing it. It's a great daily trainer and is good enough for workouts. Cushioning is good though it doesn't completely protect your feet at the end of a 10+ mile long run like certain ultra-cushioned ones do.
Although I have good form and am not injury prone at all (likely due to having a relatively high cadence and low weight), I accidentally took these up to 650 miles without noticing and they felt almost as good as new.
