That said, it is not decked out with the most exciting technology, and the overall running experience is not the most thrilling. This is because the Ghost is an incredible shoe for what it is designed to do: comfortable, reliable, durable, versatile, just really solid across the board. I always find it a bit challenging assigning an overall score when reviewing a daily trainer like the Ghost 14, which is made to be a workhorse shoe to eat up daily mileage. Overall, the Ghost 14 is best suited for beginner runners looking for a classicly reliable pair of shoes with comfortable cushioning for steady-paced runs. The durable rubber outsole is versatile and grippy enough that you can take it from the gym to the road to light trails (and even go on moderate hikes in them). I liked the Ghost 14's sturdy outsole that provided good traction, which helped with its multi-purpose functionality on varied terrain and surfaces. At times, it did feel a bit bottom-heavy. Ultimately, it is not designed to be a fast, lightweight, springy shoe and is made more for comfort than responsiveness. While I was able to pick up the pace a bit, and there was moderate flex for a smooth ride, I did notice some IT Band discomfort after my runs, so this shoe would be optimal for heel-strikers and those who prefer running in a higher offset. This was my first pair of Brooks Ghosts and the first high-drop shoe I've ever run in, so I was concerned about the high offset (being a midfoot striker). The material in the upper did feel a bit warm, and I would have liked more added breathability. Upon immediate step-in, the DNA LOFT cushioning was invitingly soft without being overly mushy, and the upper provided a dialed-in fit. The Brooks Ghost 14 is built for comfort and consistent reliability to accommodate a wide range of runners. I would leave the Ghost 14 on the shelf for racing or really fast efforts daily miles are where this shoe thrives." Matt: "The Ghost 14 is a tried-and-true daily trainer, so it's not going to be crazy propulsive or insanely responsive. That said, these shoes aren't fast or overly responsive and are best reserved for everyday runs."
With a firmer ride than the Glycerin, the Ghost was better suited for runs where I wanted to go just a little bit faster.
The ride was very consistent every time I laced up, and it had the versatility to meet all my daily training demands.
Kaleb: "It is no surprise that the Ghost 14 is a workhorse daily trainer that can get the job done on nearly any run. But the shoe did feel just slightly bottom-heavy and is best suited for easy or slower-paced long runs." It has a touch of responsiveness, allowing me to pick up the pace without restriction. Caroline: "The Ghost offers a pretty neutral, balanced ride.
