This is my third pair. I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and hold up really well. I would definitely recommend them.

My first pair of Brooks were the Ghost 12 which were superb. I tried to buy a second pair but Brooks had moved to the Ghost 13. My first pair of Ghost 13 seemed to have been a victim of cost cutting but still a good shoe and after a little break-in and 6 months walking 3 miles a day (500+ miles) they are still really comfortable. So I decided to buy my second pair of Ghost 13 before I totally wore out my first pair just in case Brooks moved on to an even cheaper Ghost 14 or whatever. Bottom line is: the sole is so comfortable I'm staying with the Ghost 13 as long as they still manufacture it with the same level of comfort.

Excellent right from the box. I have been a ghost runner for years so I expect the shoes to fit right from the box, which for me they do. 5 mile run the first day I wore them. They have enough cushion that you feel it but not so much that you don't feel the road. Upper is comfortable, yet hugs your foot. Laces stay tied which can be annoying if they don't. Highly recommend for a daily shoe

I bought my husband a pair 3 yrs ago. He loved them and they lasted almost 3 yrs. He asked for another pair for Father?s Day. They arrived quickly as well. Very happy with the sneaker and the service.

Huge Ghost fan. I traded up from the 12s when I started noticing some tendonitis and saw the 13s on sale. The toe-box is a little roomier, which I welcome. It is super comfy too. Some reviews say this shoe is too well-balanced, meaning it isn't a great choice for speed workouts or race days. That's just wrong; at 30-y.o. I pulled off a 5:40-mile in this shoe during my first real speed workout (and first sub-6) in years. Sure, a springier shoe might shave off a few seconds, but so does running harder. Ol' reliable here can do it all plus some. I wore these bad-boys for a 90-minute long run and had absolutely no issues. I've also worn these to work (all day on my feet) after the two other pairs of work shoes I had bought kept giving me knee pains, and as expected I had a much better experience.

This was the fourth pair of Brooks I've purchased. ALWAYS feel great. SUPER comfortable. Have to buy 1/2 - 1 size larger than other shoes though.

The size was true to what I ordered, I'm a slight under pronator, I have a pretty high arch for a large foot size and the arch support is good. I'm currently still breaking them in and they feel pretty good comfort wise. I run quite a bit, around 20 miles a week give or take a few. I'm happy with my purchase.

I just received the Ghost 13 shoes today. I ordered size 11 2e and they are a fabulous fit. They are comfortable right out of the box. I love the style and the look of the shoes.

My fourth pair. I got the black and yellow pair. I cannot express enough how much I love these shoes. They are so comfortable for me as a high school cross country runner putting on lots of miles weekly. I will trust this company for my life.

I usually love Brooks. These shoes were expensive and worth less than half the price. They feel as though they run small and have an annoying material around the toe box upper that makes it worse. They are so tight that they cause pain in the toes even when not running, and blisters in the back when I am. I would either recommend going half a size up, but only if you can get a refund when they ruin your feet. They look good and sounded like a great shoe. I thought this would’ve been 5 stars, but then I wore them.

My new favorite shoe. I used to regularly buy Nike Air Pegasus, occasionally trying other shoes in between. I'm now on my fourth pair of Brooks Ghosts and they are great shoes. I have narrow feet and have purchased both the regular and narrow width sizes of the Ghost. Both actually fit my foot very well, and I love the narrows. These are extremely comfortable shoes and are perfect for anyone with a fairly neutral gait.

Brooks and Nike

Father?s Day present for my husband. Great shoes! He?s on his feet all day long for work and wears them almost every day, so we replace them twice a year or so but it?s worth it for no back/hip issues!

I wear 16M but most shoes can survive in a 15M. This was not one of those shoes - the toe box was very narrow and I developed large blisters all over my feet after runs. Unfortunately The ghost doesn?t come in a 16 (Brooks please change that!) so I purchased the 15. Brooks even notes in their sizing chart to get a size up?.just not an option for me. SO - buy a size up and maybe even wider than normal. That said the shoe seems very comfortable and the soles are solid. I think these are likely great shoes if you can get the right size. Brooks has the BEST return policy of any running shoes and I had to take advantage of it here. Some competitors don?t allow returns even. I don?t like the two models available in 16?.and will anxiously await Brooks making these in size 16 in the future.

Great shoe, first time Brooks user. I don’t use them to run, just as an everyday shoe. They fit great. Light, cushy on feet, and they look really nice with jeans or khakis. Recommended them to my wife, she purchased her first pair this morning .

This was the worst pair of Ghost sneakers ever purchased. Water seeped through the bottom from the sole, not even when it was raining. All I had to do was walk across damp morning grass. I have had Ghost 12 and 13 versions and never had a problem. There is something wrong with this pair.

Preferred the Ghost12. This shoe is narrower. The cushioning is not as great as the 12s.

I have problematic, arthritic, flat feet with bunions and sore little toes. The lacings bunch up at the toe end and don't support my feet because they are too wide. The length may be too long. I wear orthotics

My husband loves these shoes! He is extremely picky about his shoes being comfortable, and spends a lot of time on his feet. He really loves the cushion of these shoes, and that they’re so lightweight. I have a pair for myself as well, and I love mine too. The only snag was that the medium width was too narrow for his foot, so I exchanged it for a wide. Zappos has such wonderful customer service, and the exchange was super easy.
