Sample of Brooks Ghost 14 Run Visible tech in the dark I'll go more into the effectiveness of the Run Visible features next. I also have the Run Visible edition, which has some reflective detailing on the padded tongue and midfoot that add a bit of rigidity, though none of it is abrasive in any way. The engineered mesh upper feels lightweight but is thick enough for the colder months here in Wisconsin. From an upper security standpoint, the Ghost does everything needed for daily running and is one of those uppers that disappears on foot. There is a soft toe guard that holds the shape and vamp of the toe box without irritating the toes and there is ample volume for the foot without being sloppy. Finally the toe box has a really nice balance to it.

Again, this was fine for daily use, but in moving more quickly I did have some translation of the foot in the midfoot and this contributed to the lack of full lock down in the heel. Part of the heel slippage is likely due to the moderate width in the midfoot and lack of lacing system that really can anchor the midfoot. The heel is padded and overall comfortable, but never fully locked down, particularly when picking up the pace. This means that the heel, midfoot, and toe box are all moderate in width without significant variation, whereas in other shoes you may see a moderate to narrow heel, a snug and secure midfoot, and then a more open toe box. Moving from back to front, there is not much variability between the different regions, but has a flatter construction. The 14's fit me true to size in my men's size 9 and is consistent with other Brooks shoes in terms of fit.
