Brooks GHOST 14: Update REVIEW

My update review of the Brooks Ghost 14, my easy running shoe for this year.
After my initial run, I was a little underwhelmed and disappointed with this shoe, having expected more from it as a long standing running shoe in its 14th version.
Have my views changed? Has it got better since then? Do I like it more now, than I did after 1 run?

In short, the answer is no. It has grown on me slightly since that initial run, but it is still disappointing. For £130 RRP, I think this shoe should offer a lot more. In my opinion, it needs to either be more responsive or softer, currently it is neither. The drop is probably too big, and make the forefoot feel under-protected.
Maybe heel strikers would find it far more enjoyable and beneficial due to the higher heel, as a mid-foot striker this one isn't great for me.
It will remain in my rotation as it is the shoe that I am using for all my easy running in 2024. It isn't the worst shoe in the world, but I would struggle to recommend this to other runners.
Look out for the next review, once I get even more miles in it, maybe I will learn to love it......
Thanks as always for watching!
Happy Running......

Triumph 20 are great cheap as well

Never ran in Saucony, nearly grabbed a few pairs this year (Shift 2, Speed 3, Kinvara etc), but settled on different brands instead…..

I bought a pair for a great price. I agree with everything you say. Shoe is trash.

Thought I was the only one! Everyone seems to love it…..I don’t get it. It’s not very good at anything…..
