Fits right (always size up for running shoes by 1/2 a size). Helps with arch support and so far so good with long running tread.

Brooks shoes are great but these shoes are not sized correctly. I ordered the exact same shoe that I had previously bought at Fleet Feet and the size is marked 7.5 W but it is at least an 8 if not an 8.5. I am sending a photo showing the difference. They are both labeled Brooks Ghost 13.

The Brooks Ghost 13 felt the same as the 12 which I previously had. No surprises.

The 10.5 4EEEE fits real good with my orthotics inserts

I ordered these a little over a year ago for just general walking around and the bottom rubber is already falling off. Hopefully the new Ghost 14's go back to a higher quality than the 13's. The previous Ghosts have all been very solid but the longevity of the 13's is not great, and I'm not running in them or doing anything taxing-- just periodic wearing when I go out or walk the dog.

I?ve only worn once for a 6 mile run and they were superbly comfy. Soft and cushioned landing.

I have several pairs of this same shoe in the same size and this one is bigger than all of them. Go figure!

My last 2 pair of sneakers were the Brooks Ghost 13s and I decided to try the 14 model. I didn't like the 14, mainly due to overall comfort. I think the heel is bigger. As a result, I returned exchanged them for another pair of 13s.

I had to re-order since these run a half size small and the foot bed felt "dead" to my feet until I removed the liner and added an insert I bought at a 3rd vendor BUT THEN they felt PERFECT and helped me plant and roll my feet much better than I've found in a shoe in a LONG time. I ordered a second pair in another color as a result. I don't know why the womens sizes have a note saying they run a half size small but the mens does not. BOTH run half size small.

I wear size 9 in regular shoes and a 10 in Brooks running shoes. These shoes looked smaller than my Ghost 11s and felt much narrower. Unfortunately, I'll have to return them for a wider size.

These seemed like good shoes. They were listed as "orthotic friendly" by Zappos but sadly they didn't work with mine. After about an hour my feet started going numb. Leaving all that out I actually liked them. No hard feelings.

I have been a Brooks Ghost customer since the Ghost 10. I walk 15-25 miles a week and get around 1,000 miles before I get another pair. Very Happy with the Ghost and will continue to purchase them.

I really wanted these to fit like the others I bought but they were narrow so I tried to return for a EE but they were out of stock on all the colors I wanted. I hope they haven’t started going narrow like so many other brands.

I love these. The fit is great for my wide feet and they are very comfortable both for running and casual wear. Others have men them causing blisters on the Achilles and mine did the same. I normally wear either socks with a tab in the back or crew’s depending on what I am doing so it really is not an issue. Overall the minor inconvenience of having to wear socks that are a little high is more than outweighed by the comfort and fit.

This is my third Ghost shoe. Felt very similar to previous models I have run in (10 and 11). Like the others this is my everyday shoe. I expect this to hold up easily for 500 miles as the others have. I'll use this for easy days and long runs. It works great on the crushed limestone trails and streets I do the majority of my running on. Any speed work I'll switch over to another shoe.

As others have said, the Ghost 12's were better (toe, tongue and heel) and I wish I could still buy that version! The 13's are OK but I would've bought the 12's for the rest of my life whereas the 13's have me considering other options. Bring back the 12 design!

I started getting heel pain from being on my feet all day, not from over pronating, so I decided to move towards a more cushioned, neutral shoe during my runs. It definitely helped with my heel pain and allowed me to keep running, albeit at a slower pace. I learned that I actually like the more cushioned feel underfoot for most of my runs. The sizing was spot on for me and cradles my foot really well from ankle to toes. I will definitely continue to use these as my daily runner and mix in the Ravennas (Launch GTS) for faster, shorter runs once my foot is better.

The Ghost is a great shoe. It fits well. A bit more cushion in the forefoot for comfort longevity would be nice.

I am a big fan of Brooks, and suffer from Supination. I was hopeful with these being Neutral they would be ok for my foot landing. First 2 months were fine and then I began to notice them causing me to roll outward and exaggerating my Supination. Just be mindful when purchasing.

I mainly bought these running shoes due to my Morton’s neuroma. they allow a bit more lateral support in the toe box area and are by far more comfortable than Nikes. people with MN are always on a quest to find the most comfortable. so far, this is it but always open to other brands.

The 12s were built for hundreds upon hundreds of miles, but the longevity of the 13s has not lived up. I had strange tears in the toe box upper after just 200 miles - I've never had a tear in that place before. The sole is also wearing out much more quickly. I personally dislike the redesigned tongue and the heel cushioning - beware of this version of the Ghost if you have Haglund's, though the 12s were fine for me. The changes I've noticed have been downgrades, but I will stick with the product line as it solves more of my injury problems than it creates.
