Who should buy
The Brooks Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο is a stability shoe that’s perfect for daily runs. It’s a perfect choice for medium-paced runs up to half-marathon length. The shoe is quite easy with 4 different widths to accommodate most foot shapes.
Who should NOT buy
The Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο might not be your best bet if:
- You don’t over-pronate, while GTS tech is apparently fine for neutral runners, we found that you can shed lots of weight by choosing something like the Ghost 14
- You want something softer, for longer runs (at the cost of speed), we prefer the zapatillas de running Brooks tope amortiguación talla 43
Cushioning
Heel stack
The Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο carries over an aggressive 14.7 mm drop and a 37.4 mm heel stack height. Paired with the supportive GuideRails and heftier weight, it definitely feels like a slow, easy-day trainer.
Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο | 37.4 mm |
Average | 34.2 mm |
Midsole softness
It feels like Brooks has tried to make the 22 a bit speedier than it was. The Adrenaline 22 brings a bit of energy return into the shoe.
Size and fit
With four different width options in the Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο from Narrow (B) to Extra Wide (4E) there’s little reason to not find a perfect fit.
The length is true to size and I found the D width to be perfect, not too narrow, not too roomy either.

Stability
Lateral stability test
The Adrenaline is Brooks’ staple GTS (Go-to-stability) shoe, providing overpronators with an alternative to medial posting for a few years.
With the price point of the Brooks Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο I’d tend to think it’s marketed at the enthusiastic daily runner. Someone who's cruising 30 miles a week. With a stability system that goes above and beyond, it completely makes sense. However, there's a caveat.
The way the guide rail works is that it initially provides extra support for when your ankle over-pronates (rolls inwards), and pushes your stride to a neutral position.
There’s then exterior support to stop your foot from rolling too far outwards (which can lead to problems like IT band syndrome). This makes Brooks a great option for almost any runner because you can run in them even if you are a neutral runner. As an over-pronator, I definitely felt the guide rail push me back straight, which is always a good sign, and I also felt the exterior rail push me back inwards. So it definitely works
But, and this is a big but, that’s a bit pointless if you’re then going to lug around a 300g+ shoe as a neutral runner. Moreover, if you’re doing 30 miles per week, you probably know more about your pronation than most and can choose shoes accordingly.
So in practice, I think the support of the Brooks Adrenaline GTS line is best suited to new runners who don’t know about ritmo pronation and just want to run injury-free. I just wish the price point would match that.

There’s a good heel cup and the ankle collar fits well. The heel counter has had a bit of an update and is more padded than before, and even stiffer.

With all of that hard midsole and the GuideRails, it didn’t come as a surprise that the Brooks Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο scored highly in our lab testing, needing 40.8N of force to bend the shoe to 45.
The result on the road is a bit dull, but as a daily shoe, it’s not a problem for me.
What shone out for me was the consistency of the flex in the midsole, after 20 minutes in the lab freezer it only took 43.5N to get the same degree of flex (average here is 27.7N) which is only a 5.6% difference.
In the lab, we regularly see flexibility changes of 30% (even up to 68.3% from the Теплий вовняний светр преміум бренду brooks brothers), so this degree of reliability is very welcome.
Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο | 40.8N |
Average | 28.1N |
Weight
The Brooks Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο is billed at weighing 10.2oz (289g), a touch lighter than its predecessor (10.4oz). It is a tiny bit lighter than stability running shoes on average 10.5 oz (298g).
Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο | 10.37 oz (294g) |
Average | 9.38 oz (266g) |
Breathability
With a mesh knit upper, there’s plenty of breathability even with plush padding. The material feels stiff and won’t stretch much, but the fit is fine so no worries there. It also feels nice and durable.
Durability
Outsole hardness
Clearly not fearing the wrath of a set of scales, Brooks has added 3.4 mm of outsole grip to the shoe, at 87 HC durometer it's super strong too. This makes for a fair amount of durability and I wouldn’t be surprised if these make it well past the 500-mile mark.
Brooks Ghost 14 για Τρέξιμο | 87.0 HC |
Average | 79.7 HC |
Misc
Grip / Traction
The grip itself is effective, I felt no slippage on both wet and dry concrete, making sharper turns and downhills confident, and lots of ability to keep pace on the ups.
Overall impressions
Maybe Adrenaline is the wrong word. It’s obvious that Brooks isn’t making super-stylish running shoes that weigh next to nothing and promise to take chunks off of your 10K time.
They do however make a shoe that makes you run as frequently as you want, on whatever experience level. Sure, it’s super heavy, and even the updates to the upper won’t make you want to wear these out to dinner, but it does what it says on the tin.
