I think my DD was probably about that age when she started to really walk. She was just very cautious when it came to taking physical risks. She was a late crawler, too! Once she was off though, she was off! Is your LO talking a lot instead? That's what mine did. She was developing way ahead of schedule in other things, so I feel like she forgot to walk, hahahaha. Besides, she had "Limo Mama" so why would she walk? She was taken every where hahahha

Mine is a talker, not a walker, at 13 months. What you're describing sounds really on track with typical milestones, to me. Near walking at 14 months. The normal for all these physical milestones gets really stretched out at this age, so we see all these babies walking at 11 months and think, hey, what's wrong with mine. But almost-walking at 14 months is really, really normal. Not late at all.

My niece didn't walk (really walk, on her own) until she was almost 17 months! I think she's just a cautious kid, and even though she was capable, she didn't feel entirely comfortable doing it on her own. But she was pretty verbal early on...and now she's not delayed at all in motor skills (at almost 5yrs old).

My cousin's daughter didn't walk until almost 18 months. She also didn't crawl much. Turns out she had very small feet proportionally and once they were bigger she was fine. She did start talking earlier but was mostly content to sit in one spot playing by herself. Now she's seven and perfectly healthy, normal, and happy.
