Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

Great shoe - I wear molded orthotics and was worried that the ghosts were gonna be too shallow and not wide enough - they are perfect - great support and really light - thank you

Another great iteration, very similar to the 12

My favorite go to long training run shoe. 20+ miles.

Quick Bio: 200 lb marathoner. About 50 miles a week on a bike path. High arch. I've run in seven models/12 versions of Brooks. I used to run in Brooks stability shoes because I'm a heavier runner, but since Brooks added the guide rails, I can't run in any of their stability shoes (The top of the rail creates a blister on my arch), so I've been trying netural shoes. In short, it's too cushioned! The tongue and even the laces are squishy! Even though it's not a heavy shoe, Brooks can certainly trim some of the weight off. For me, they were too soft, and as a forefoot runner, the softness and the wide toe box created a reoccurring blister under my big toe, which has never happened. I ended up exchanging them at my local run shop. I would recommend this shoe for three groups. People who run exclusively on city blocks. The shoe is built for concrete running and those times you step down off the sidewalk. People who have a heel strike (check the wear of the bottom of your running shoe), and 10K runners and Half Marathoners (training runs are under 10 miles).

Going back to the Ghost after a few pairs of the Adrenalines. Feel as good as I remember and I think the Ghost is a better fit for me.

Most comfortable Ghost yet. My got to running shoes.

Loved ghost 10s the best. Loved 12s style but not always the comfort I needed. But the 13s definitely remind me of my love for the 10s. I will have to pick up another pair of the 13s!!

Not many options out There for Wide feet running shoes. I had to buy these because my Nike epic reacts gave me blisters due to the narrow fit. Another thing I don't like about Nike shoes (With fly knit uppers) is that my foot tends to roll laterally over the side of the shoe. I've put about 50 miles on these shoes so far. They're very comfortable and light.

Very pleased with these shoes. I blew thru competitor's shoe with less than 175 miles and the running store suggeted I try the Ghost 13. I had to go up half a size. I life the snug fit. The heel counter is really stiff (can't it be a bit more flexible?) the padding helps. Comfortable at easy and fast paces, short and long distances (just completed a 20 miler--with only 2 weeks in the shoe). The cushioning seems more pronounced the more I run in them.

I think the increased loft in the midsole has resulted in a tighter fit. I have 11.5 in the 11's and 12's and they fit perfect (i.e. perfect amount of room in the toe box). Unfortunately with online shopping I wasn't able to try on in store and have been running in them (wouldn't think my size would change with the same model I've been using for years). Something to consider when purchasing.

I wear the Ghost 13's for walking. These are the 4th pair of ghost I have owned. Each upgrade gets a little better on my feet. I am approaching walking 3000 miles in the past 2 years and probably could not have done it without Brooks.
