Brooks Ghost 14: A Top Performer in Running Footwear

The latest iteration of the Brooks Ghost series, the Ghost 14, has been making waves in the world of running footwear. According to the Running Shoe Geek channel on YouTube, the Ghost series has contributed significantly to Brooks' success. In the first quarter of this year, Brooks led as the top-selling women's running brand in the United States and secured a position among the best globally in specialty running stores. The Ghost model itself stands out, ranking ninth in top-selling shoes in the U.S. in January, sharing space with primarily limited edition lifestyle sneakers. While popularity alone isn't indicative of quality, for the Ghost, it reflects credibility in the eyes of many runners.

The Ghost is positioned as a versatile daily training shoe situated comfortably between the more cushioned alternatives like the Brooks Glycerin and Aurora, and speed-oriented models like the Launch and Hyperion Elite. This balance allows the Ghost to be ideal for both easy and long runs without being a hindrance for faster-paced sessions. The series has won a loyal following due to its consistent performance and design, with minor changes from season to season, ensuring that runners know what to expect and continue to come back.

Diving deeper into the specifications, the Ghost 14 offers a 12 millimeter drop with substantial cushioning and a neutral fit, making it appropriate for a wide range of runners. Although the shoe maintains a traditional feel, its comfort doesn't go unnoticed, as it has even become a casual wear choice for some. The Ghost 14's updates, including a full-length rubber outsole with enhanced heel durability and a DNA Loft midsole extending throughout the shoe, offer a slightly softer yet balanced underfoot feel. Despite fears of it being too soft, the Ghost remains within the ideal range of comfort, securing its place as a go-to shoe for the Ghost series enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
