I switched from Asics to Brooks in 2017. I bought my first Ghost 10 and fell in love with them and told all my friends what a great shoe they were. The Ghost 13 are horrible. I complained about them to Customer Service and was told to order o 1/2 size up. Now there is to much room in the toe box. I'm 54 and have been a 9 1/2 D since I was 18. Was looking now at the Ghost 14 and seems to be the same complaints; too narrow, poor quality, poor laces ect... If nobody is going to listen, I'll just pay $30 more and go with the Asics Gel Nimbus.

Hello, first of all, I would say that this is my 5th. pair of Brooks, also I do love the brand' products. But, at least in Brasil, Ghost 13 has been showing some material or manufacturing or both problem. This actual pair is the third that I have trying. The two before this is used to have a problem on the back, right foot, from outside (heel). Seems as were missing some absorption layer on that region and the foot easily drop laterally to outside on the contact with the road. Pressing each one with the hand is quite ease to feel the difference between left and right shoe. Right one has no resistance at that point. I did a contact with the company customer care about that. Ok, after the third change the new one are not showing the same problem. But I have a new concern. Just using it since few week before Christmas, running 5 to 7 Km 3x a week and the absorption is clearly in bad shape. Putting back my old Ghost 12 which a have had more than 800 Km and the sensation is better than with the new one. So, I think Brooks should do a deep look at manufacturers(In my case Vietnam) and suppliers. I do hope to Brooks keep it seriously and do what they need to do in order to keep the great brand and products. Regards Eduardo

I had ordered these for my husband as I had bought the Women's Ghost 13 and they are awesome. I think they are true to size as the 9.5 was too big and he usually wears a 9. However, the 9 was a different fabric and had such a complicated stiff lacing system that we could not unlace it enough to put his foot in.

I have been wearing Brooks beast and more recently Ghost shoes. These Ghost shoes have worn out on the inside in less than 6 months. This is very disappointing as I may need to look to another brand for walking.

I liked the shoes, but they were a bit too small. I have another pair Brooks that I got from you before, with the same size, and they are good, but for some reason, the ones you sent recently were just too short. I would like to try again, but I am not sure.

Bought these for my husband. Comfortable support BUT….The back of the shoes stuck up high on both ankles and rubbed blisters on both ankles whenever he wore them. Black trim started peeling off almost immediately. Just seems like they are cheaply made. Within just three months of walking and wearing the house, they are coming apart. We would never buy Brooks again for him. We should have returned them but he took a while to start wearing then then missed 30 day trial.

Heel is hard, width of the shoe is narrower, and the sole of the shoe is too high especially for the Ghost shoe which is supposed to be a thinner sole.

Not nearly the arch support and front toe cushioning as in the Ghost 12. I owned 2 pair of the Ghost 12 but it was discontinued. The Ghost 13 is a huge let down. I do not recommend it.

I probably should’ve returned this item. They felt much stiffer than previous versions of this shoe. I chose white this time but they became dirty quickly and are not easy to keep clean. There’s a little foam raised area along the side of the shoe that almost immediately looked dinghy.

I usually love Brooks. These shoes were expensive and worth less than half the price. They feel as though they run small and have an annoying material around the toe box upper that makes it worse. They are so tight that they cause pain in the toes even when not running, and blisters in the back when I am. I would either recommend going half a size up, but only if you can get a refund when they ruin your feet. They look good and sounded like a great shoe. I thought this would’ve been 5 stars, but then I wore them.

This was the worst pair of Ghost sneakers ever purchased. Water seeped through the bottom from the sole, not even when it was raining. All I had to do was walk across damp morning grass. I have had Ghost 12 and 13 versions and never had a problem. There is something wrong with this pair.

Extremely uncomfortable and tight to my foot. I could barely get the shoe on. I generally don't have fir issues and my size is very consistent but this shoe just didn't work from a fit and comfort standpoint

This was my 2nd pair of Ghost 13s, the first one was 5 stars which is why I bought another pair of the exact same size. The 2nd pair seemed tight but was the same size in the order, on the box, and on the shoe label on the tongue. I tried them out and they just didn't feel the same at all as the 1st pair I had and never got better. Finally after about 50 miles, I measured them and they are considerably smaller than the 1st pair, so these are either mislabeled or they just made this pair wrong. Shame as I'm not ordering them again to see if it's a one time mistake or not.

Not the best feel. My Revel are much more comfortable running. I use the Ghost for treadmill walk/hike at inclines only. Would not get the Ghost again.

I am disappointed because I depend on Brooks shoes due to some numbness in my feet. Unfortunately my old Ghost 12s are much more comfortable and give me better arch support. The Ghost 13s cause pain in the balls of my feet because the arch support is inadequate. Sorry Zappos that I had to order so many, I tried both men's and women's and none were pain free.

Great shoe until a hole appeared on the heel cup after just over a month. I would expect a shoe that costs this much to last a lot longer than a month and a half of going 5-7 miles a day.

Come on Brooks, I expect more from you! I loved running in the Ghost 9 and Ghost 11. They were both great out of the box. These Ghost 13 are very uncomfortable. I wear a 15EE. These Ghost 13 are a 1/2 size smaller than previous versions and not as wide. They seem shallower in the body, causing your foot to sit higher in the shoe. This causes no support. If you have even an ounce of supination STAY CLEAR of these. After one 4 mile run, my ankles are killing me. Because they run small and narrow there is no support where there needs to be. Mid arch is completely absent and there is a big ball of padding under the knuckle of your big toe, causing a slight supination in form. If you liked the previous Ghosts, you will not like these!
