Going back to the Ghost after a few pairs of the Adrenalines. Feel as good as I remember and I think the Ghost is a better fit for me.

The minute that I popped these shoes on it was amazing. They fit very nice. It's unbelievable. What more do I got to say? I would hope they fit nice for everyone because they do for me with a size 13 shoe.

Loved ghost 10s the best. Loved 12s style but not always the comfort I needed. But the 13s definitely remind me of my love for the 10s. I will have to pick up another pair of the 13s!!

I usually do the higher end Asics, but wanted to give Brooks a try this time, and I'm happy with the choice. I ordered my normal Asics size of a US 13 and Medium width (D), and while the Brooks feels slightly shorter and narrower, it's in a good way - much more of a custom size feel versus the Asics. Quality of materials is excellent, with great cushioning and support all the way around - extremely pleased with my choice.

The fit is comfortable and true to size. I use the sneakers for running and do not like them loose. I would suggest a size bigger, if you want a loose fit. The shoe is light and material soft. This is my 2nd pair.

I thought this was a nice update. I actually have different models of Brooks for different applications. I like a lighter more minimal shoe for trails and speed work, but I love the Ghost 13 for a mid-distance and gym work shoe. The addition of Loft in the midsole and snuggled up the fit a bit and they actually feel more responsive to me than the 12s did. There's definitely a shoe out there for every purpose, but for me, these are my do everything's, love em!

Great shoe. Just took 'em out for a hilly city 7 miler yesterday morning. Have been running in ghosts for a few years now - they work great for my stride style. Hard to say I feel a difference in the midsole, simply because new shoes always feel so fresh and smooth. I notice the upper mesh feels a bit more supportive and tighter in the toe box (only slightly), I like this though. Low key, I really like the change to the tongue shape. That plus the redesigned upper give the 13 more of a sleek and athletic look than its predecessors. Good job brooks!

I wear the Ghost 13?s for walking. These are the 4th pair of ghost I have owned. Each upgrade gets a little better on my feet. I am approaching walking 3000 miles in the past 2 years and probably could not have done it without Brooks.

I have been a Brooks loyalist for running shoes for years, and this one fits perfectly, same size as all my previous pairs. It is true to size. The one thing you will notice when you take the shoes out of the box is the amount of cushion on the bottom. You will also notice it as soon as you put them on and take a step. Even compared to the Ghost 12, which I also have, the cushioning is significantly greater. That extra cushion does end up making the shoes look a little clunkier than others, but when I’m running I’m not really going for style, and they are by no means ugly. Those looking for a more minimalist shoe will probably want to look elsewhere, but these aren’t really designed for the runner trying to simulate barefoot running anyway. They have the comfort and support of a walking shoe, but are lightweight and thus a great option for runners who like a little extra support.
I’m not someone who runs marathons or even 10Ks. I usually run about 2-3 miles a few times per week. So I can’t speak to how these perform on super long distances. But they do offer great support on my runs, for both the heel and the ball of my foot. I can also say that they are the best running shoe I’ve ever worn, and I was impressed at how big of a difference (aka improvement) there was between the Ghost 12 and this one. I put these on and immediately went for a 3 mile run, and they felt like I had already broken them in. In other words, they are ready to go right out of the box.

Really like the feel of the Ghost 13. I felt the Ghost 12's were a bit too snug and never got used to the fit. The 13's fit just right and feel good even on a long run. A good upgrade in the Ghost series. I like the cushioning without extra weight.

From the moment I got them in the mail yesterday, I knew the Ghost 13s were going to be special and I wasn't at all disappointed. It is the first pair of running shoes I ever had where I broke them in doing a non-stop 10 mile run on the first go around. That's how comfortable these kicks are. I had a pair of Ghost 12s for a few months and I have to say, the 13s are indeed better in terms of cushion, support, and a smoother transitioning with each stride. It's almost like they're already broken in when you run in them. The toe box is also roomier which is what I desperately need for the bunion on one of my feet. And lastly, they're lighter and breath better than the Ghost 12s, especially in the summer heat. For now, these are the best road running shoes I've had in a very long time. Only time will tell if it's even possible for you to improve on these shoes when and if you turn out the Ghost 14s. The bar is now set pretty high. :)

Absolutely love the new Ghost 13. Very snug at first but with time, they acquire that perfect fit. Would love more color choices.

I feel less pain when on I run. As a toe runner, I often get shin pain and foot pain near the top of the foot. This shoe has dramatically dropped that and I am running longer and faster. Oftentimes, I am just thinking about whatever is on my mind. No longer am I thinking about the pain.

very nice look and feel. Heel support is outstanding. My only request would be to add more cushion for the ball of the foot.

I wanted cushion and comfort and Ghost 13 delivered. Some cushioned shoes feel heavy but these still feel light and ventilated.

I waited for the 13 to come out hoping there would be an all blue version like there is black. Any chance that happens? I know the Levitate 3 LE had a version but that show didn't fit me well. I bought the black and blue version. Love my Ghost 12's and 13's but hate white on running shoes. Picky I know...but I have 5 pair...I want an all blue to finish off the collection.

I love the Ghost 13! It was actually my second choice so I was a little skeptical it would perform as needed. I was in search of a very cushioned shoe so I was set to try the Glycerine model but what I wanted was not available. I have a condition called metatarsalgia which is pain/inflammation in the balls of feet. The description of the Ghost 13 made me believe this could be the shoe for me as far as cushion and great shock absorbtion. After my first run I was all smiles. I even returned a newly purchased pair of orthopedic shoes because it didn't feel as good as the Ghost 13. I'm looking forward to trying the Glycerine for my next pair. Thank you Brooks!
