Great shoe. Good fit. Excellent arch support. Nice styling (except that I really want the more colorful ones that are always “out of stock)

These are the first pair of running shoes where my narrow feet fit comfortably without causing any friction on the toes or heel. The first few runs were pretty good although I have yet to run in them for longer distances

Nice shoes. I've been getting Ghosts for years. Seems like these don't have as much arch support as past models.
They do have a larger toe box than they did years ago. I was able to get a better fit since the same size used to crush my pinky toe in the past. I used to go up 1/2 size to compensate and I don't have to do that anymore.

For context: 5'6 and 210 lbs; body like Jack Black/Joe Rogan but more like Jack. I've been running in Nike Epic Reacts and Pegasus Turbos for 4 years now. Those shoes are light, responsive, easy on the knees, but poor traction in the sand/rain after repeated usage. This shoe, the Ghost 13, are just as light, just as responsive, harder on the knees, and provides greater traction. That's the trade-off: greater traction but harder impact on knees. I've put in 50 miles so to speak That being said it's a great shoe especially at this price point.
I'd also recommend:
Nike, Saucony

Superior shoe! Haven't put a lot of miles on them yet, but have discovered a small drawback. Getting in and out of the shoe is a bit more troublesome than my previous versions (8, 11, 12). The heel collar seems stiffer, or closer around the ankle. I hope that a few more miles will break them in enough to ease entry. If so, I'll upgrade to a 5 star!

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.

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, like running on a cloud. I’ve had Brooks shoes before, this Ghost is the best I’ve had.

I always use Brooks Ghost in my rotation sequence, and when great traction is needed.

I love them and they are quite comfortable. My shoe did arrive with a stain on it but otherwise they are great!

Heel cushion is great. Cushion under the front of the foot seems a little thin. Support seems to be relaxing a bit after a few weeks of wear. Not the best, but definitely not the worst.

I purchased the Ghost 13's for my husband and me. The shoes were fine however the show strings in my husband's shoes were so short he couldn't tie them but had to resort to a knot. I spoke with JP Harris who kindly replaced the shoes. The second set arrived and the shoe strings were acceptable. I have to tell you though, we much prefer the Ghost 12 shoes we purchased in the past. I'm now searching the internet to find more Ghost 12's

These shoes were comfortable and seem like they will stand up to many miles on pavement.

Comparing Ghost 13 with Adrenaline GTS 21. These are very similar shoes. The Ghost 13 has a bigger toe box, slightly less stability control, weighs a bit less, and has less cushioning. Mostly, I bought the Ghost because I was tired of only having the black versions of Adrenaline shoes to purchase.

Not sure if it?s me or the shoe, I?m not an avid runner snd these are way better than my normal workout shoes. I think they?re too narrow for my foot. Ordered a different pair and gonna see which is better. Quality is great

Usual Brooks quality. 2nd purcahse of Ghosr shoe. Jusrt one complaint-just wisn the back heel was easier to slip on. Always fighting to pull up the back when it ciollapses. Other that greqt show for treadmill warrior.

Love the shoe, only drawback is that the top of the heel piece on the left heel buckles every time I put them on since the very first time I wore them which then makes the heel feel a bit weird but the shoe has great support and comfort otherwise.

The comfort level is unbelievable. Went for a small run and so far looks great. I feel good about this pair.
Had to return the Adrenaline as it did feel a bit heavy for my liking and replaced it with this Ghost. Thanks to the excellent Zappos return policy and great customer service

overall pretty good. First few runs felt very different to the Ghost 12. Felt a little firmer under foot / less cushion. Shoes have settled in after a few more runs. Fit is similar to Ghost 12.
