Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

I've been wearing the Ghost for years. In the 14, it seems to me that the back of the shoe, above the heel, could be higher where the top of the show hits the achilles tendon.

I have been using Brooks shoes since 2011-12 when I purchased my first pair of Cascadias (trail running). Since then, even if I have tried different models and its yearly updates (Ghost and Glycerin), I have been always highly satisfied with 3 basic aspects (fit, durability, stability) which I believe have not been been fully achieved by this specific model. With my Ghost 13 I have encountered the following problems; - Medium width (1D) fits excessively loose around the metatarsals. To resolve this I am forced to accessibly tighten the laces which is not a good feeling experiencing some pain at insteps. - Cushioning seems not as generous and durable as previous models. In fact I am experiencing some short of numbness in my feet after running 60-70 minutes. - Heel is topped with a rigid strip that gets deformed or wrinkled every time I wear the shoes which never happened before. This caused deep blisters during the first runs. After a while I included on my routine to carefully smooth that part before starting my run but still the risk of hurting my heels is there. The overall experience is still positive since I have done good long runs with these pair of shoes but I never expected facing the mentioned problems with the new versions which are typically improving the pervious ones but without implementing drastic changes in the fitting or compromising the cushioning.
