Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

They fit perfect. Brooks is consistent in size

I love the design of this shoe, overall. The one short coming I have is that in the toe area the sole of the shoe turns upward. With my arthritic toes this becomes problematic because it pushes the toes up when walking causing pain. I am hoping that as they break in that this will dissapate/

Just fine for me. Am older guy and shoes good for walks and step exercise.

I've worn Brooks Ghost for years, and still think the Ghost 11 is the best that Brooks has released. The Ghost 13 comes close to the 11 (after the 12 was, in my opinion, a big miss) - BUT, the 13 appears to have taken a few shortcuts that makes it inferior to the 11. First, the width and the length (12.5 4E) are still excellent - yes, it's slightly narrower in the toe box than the 11, but not too much and doesn't really change the feel. The cushioning and support are excellent. My biggest complaint, however, is that where the shoe laces are tied at the very top, the padded tongue is not as wide as the 11s - so, the edges of the shoe (where the top eyelets are) - lacking the padded tongue - cut into the insides of my ankles right below the ankle bones. Also, the heel is slightly lower than my 11s and does not feel like it grabs my heel firmly (like the 11s do). If you missed buying the 11s, then the 13s are definitely a good shoe (particularly if you want true sizing and true width - with good room for your toes). However, if, like me, you stocked up on the 11s, then hopefully the future 14s will address some of these complaints.
