Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

Not a huge fan to be honest. Loved the 12 as my first pair of brooks and was excited to order the 13s but sadly disappointed, really wanted to love them. Not offering the same support the 12s did feel like they?re poorly made.

Was excited to try Brooks as I've heard good things, however, I am dissapointed to say the least. The top of the heel is hard. Like there is a plastic spine in the cushion or something, and it digs in to your upper heel/achilies when your ankle articulates which has resulted in some nasty blistering. Literally, pressing my finger on the top of the heel and it feels like there are plastic teeth inside the thin cushioning. The shoe is comforatble around the foot and has good cushioning underfoot. I feel like it would be a good runner if not for the detrimental issue above. Runs a smidge smaller than my other US12s but not so much that its an issue. Praying that I can return these.

What went wrong? Ghost 13 are very uncomfortable. Blisters on my toes at the first run. Too stiff in the heel area. Huge downgrade from 12s. I?ve been using ghosts for more than 10 years and I never before I suffered a transition. Each generation used to het better until now. I had to put these ones back in the box and grab my worn ghost 12s. Not sure what to do next, not confident on buying the 14s.

Too high of heel. Cuts into Achilles area and places too much pressure on the toe box.

Doesn't fit properly. It's poor quality rubber and already loosing sole/bottom in few weeks. Sizing is bad per my running coach. Your online tool doesn't suggest right size. Either way, whole you walk or run on side way, it's bottom (outside) some keeps loosing material (on hard surfaces)

I love the ghosts and I've been wearing them for 15 years or so. I just started wearing a new pair about a week ago. This last pair has literally rubbed the skin off the back of my ankles/shins. I have never had this happen before and have worn the exact same size for years. It's like the part that comes up in the back behind your foot is higher or something. It's awful. I still love the rest of the shoe but I may have to consider buying a different brand now. I'm having to wear band aids and moleskin over the raw parts. I hope if something has changed about this part of the shoe that you change it back.

The shoe is too narrow. I need a wider toe-box. My previous Brooks were the ADRENALINE CTS, which were perfect. These GHOST 13 are causing a corn growth on my left foot under my little toe. I have had to disconue use.

Should have bought the Levitate

I had purchased this sneaker in size 9.5 before, so I repurchased the exact make and color again, in 9.5. This time the shoe was too tight and gave my left heel a blister. Will never buy this shoe online again! Not pleased after spending over $100 on them!!!!!!!!

Was looking for a replacement for my Ghost 12 I ABSOLUTELY adore. These were suggested but it?s a no for me. Running in the 12s were like running on clouds, the 13s aren?t- they are stiff and hard. I even went up a half size as suggested. They weren?t even comfortable wearing at work, my feet were sore after :-(

I have had several pair of Ghost running shoes and they had become my favorite to I bought the Ghost 13 pair. I put less then 50 miles on the Ghost 13 and the cloth that they glued over the toe area has come unglued and is causing blisters on my toes as I run. I cannot even wear the shoes for everyday use because of this issue. Makes me sad that I will be looking at other running shoe brand. I had come to love Brooks, but to pay the money I did and not have the shoe hold up on low mileage is very disappointing. I do not recommend these shoes because of this issue.

The previous Ghost versions were far superior. This was my 6th pair of ghosts and I was so disappointed. The styles is great and definitely an improvement but the quality and support has fallen off a cliff. The toebox and overall shoe is narrower. The heel squishes down and isn't stable at all. It feels like it bottoms out. The arch support that was so fantastic in previous version in there but wayyy tooo soft so it's virtually useless. The additional foam or whatever they call it may be good for a small lighter person but its wayy to squish to support an average or larger person. I can't understand why Brooks would change the absolute best running shoe on the market. Hopefully they'll go back.

Bring back the ghost 12!! Those shoes are great. Been running in the ghosts for years. The 13s are so squishy and last half the milage of the 12s before falling apart and developing tears and holes in the uppers. 13s are horrible.
