A brake system comprises: a brake assembly 8 for supplying a braking effort to vehicle wheels on actuation of the brake assembly and brake input means, such as a brake pedal 20, co-operable to actuate the brake assembly 8 via a brake-by-wire connection. The brake input means 20 are connected to decoupling means, valves 26, for hydraulically decoupling the brake input means 20 from at least one of the brake assembly 8 and a brake simulator 28. A controller 10 is configured for sending, in dependence on a defined condition, such as ABS/traction control/automatic braking event, a feedback command to the decoupling means 26 to actuate the decoupling means and thereby impart haptic feedback to the brake input means 20.
