Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

I received this pair of Ghost 13 shoes free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the shoes. I started wearing these Ghost 13 neutral shoes July 1, 2020. It is now August 2, 2020. The Ghost series has been my choice of shoe for several years. They are mainly used as a Pickelball concrete court shoe as well as a walking shoe on five-seven mile walks on concrete and asphalt. Pickleball is played seven plus times a week for an hour and one-half to two hours and walking three days per week. Based on this usage, I normally get three-four months with the Ghost series shoe before replacement. The Ghost 13 is comparable to the other Ghost Series shoes. One improvement is the insole appears not to break down as quickly as the prior Ghost series shoes maintaining the soft feel through this 33 day period. The shoe strings are, also, better in that they do not stretch becoming longer and longer to the point you have to double knot. The no break in feature remains consistent with this shoe. The color/design features make them a desirable choice. There are only a couple minor items that appear less desirable in this shoe. The tongue on the left shoe slides to the left exposing my socks on the inner side and the back of the shoe tends to bend inward when putting them on causing one to pull it up to secure it in the proper position. As stated these are minor items to an other wise well constructed shoe. I would recommend this shoe to anyone desiring a well constructed and designed shoe. My wife had trouble finding a shoe that did not hurt her feet and had a bit more width. She tried the Ghost series shoes and has been using the Ghost series ever since without any issues to her feet.

I got these for my husband. This is his 3rd or maybe 4th pair of Ghost and he loves them. I am inclined to buy a pair for myself too.

For me this is the best Ghost yet. The cushioning is outstanding; it's softer and yet more responsive. Great update!

I've been a huge fan of the Ghost 12 and I thought it was the perfect shoe for me. The Ghost 13 is just a little bit better if that's possible. The shoe has just the right amount of cushioning and stability. I've been hooked on Brooks shoes for about four years now and they just keep getting better. GO BROOKS!

Just tried out my new Ghost 13. Already a dedicated Ghost wearer but like the 13 even better. The DNA loft throughout the shoe seams to give a better transition throughout the stride when runner. I also use the Ghost 11 when working in my Podiatry clinic but the Ghost 13 have a much better "running" feel in my opinion. Great update!

Got my first ten miles in with the shoe this morning and I'm very impressed. As a mid-foot striker, it definitely feels softer through that part of the shoe. Stability also feels excellent. I wasn't a huge fan of the Ghost 12. This feels more like the Ghost that we previously new, only better.

Very good shoe! Good improvement on Ghost 12!

I got an email from Brooks offering me a chance to review their new Ghost 13 and if I would write an honest review I could keep the shoes for free. What a deal, since I haven?t worn anything but Brooks shoes for the past 11 or 12 years. The one thing Brooks didn?t know is I?m not a runner but I walk for exercise and wear the Brooks shoes in my Physical Therapy clinic where I walk 5000-7000 steps every day. I have now worn the new Ghost 13 for two days. These are really nice shoes and might be my favorite Ghosts yet. The support throughout the shoe is great and you can definitely feel the cushion from heel strike to toe off. The arch support is perfect for a neutral foot. The only negative about this shoe is that at first the toe box seemed a little flatter than on the Ghost 12 and therefore tight across my toes but after wearing the shoes for two days this softened up and now the shoe feels great. I highly recommend the Ghost 13.

I am a heavy runner ( 6ft 211 pound ) I am mainly concerned about my knees and feet Running in ghost 13 was an effortless experience At the end of my day my knees and feet were pain free and after running 5-6 miles a day I felt I could run 10 more In brief the midsole and shoe provides excellent cushion for runner of my size

It felt a little too snug out of the box compared with 3 previous Ghost versions however after wearing it around the house for a few days it's now like previous versions and a comfortable fit.

They are very comfortable, but a little wide for my foot.

My go to running shoes for road running. I've tried other brands but I always come back to these. Main drawback and reason for 4 stars is that the shoes don't last long and wear down quickly. Main thing I like is the wider toe bed and overall comfort. I run about 4/5 times a week, 3 to 5 miles each run.

Cushioning amazing! I bought men's shoes, size 9, as I am a size 11 wide in women's and they are always tight. The 9 in Men's are short and just as tight. I would have gone up half a size to see if it helped with the width and length. I find Brooks run small but they will be fine for work.

Excellent fit, cushion, and styling. The only negative that may end up be ok as the shoe breaks in, is the back of the shoe is quite stiff.

Great running shoe. Nice cushion and decent response for this old guy. The only complaint I have is it needs a slightly bigger toe box.

Something is different from previous Ghost models. Not as comfortable or full of cushion.
