Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

LOVED the look of this shoe, but, after just a three-mile run, the shoes didn't provide the proper arch support for my type of foot, so I had to send them back :-(

These shoes are light-weight and comfortable on your feet. I didn?t buy these shoes to run in but they feel really good walking in them. They have plenty of bounce back with each step. I?m a nurse and was looking for a shoe that would help alleviate my end of the day foot and ankle pain. They didn?t take it completely away but I did see just a little difference. I purchased the Levitate 7 shoes which I?m in love with as they made the biggest difference in my end of day pain.

I'm in my 50s and I use my shoes to power walk my dogs, with a little jogging here and there. I do between 1.5 and 2.5 miles a day, 5 days a week. I had been an Asics fan until I was extremely disappointed with the newest version of my favorite shoe. Since Brooks has been making running shoes for so many years, and seems to have a good reputation, I decided to give them a try. Besides, how can you go wrong when you can actually use the shoes for 90 days to decide whether you like them? I was also impressed with the shoe-finding tool, which helped me select the Ghost 13. The only reason I gave this shoe 4 stars instead of 5 is because they took a while to break-in. The first time I put them on, I wasn't sure I liked the way they felt like they dropped off from the ball of the foot to the toe, and they didn't feel as cushiony as I'd hoped for. But, it was really interesting how they felt okay for the first 2 miles of my walk, then all of a sudden, they felt really comfortable. The second time I wore them, what initially felt like a drop-off felt more like the support I needed to prevent stressing my toes. A few years ago, I sprained my second toe because of bad shoes. To test my theory, the next day, I took a walk in what had been my favorite pair of Asics. By the end of my walk, my first and second toes were aching. Well, they felt like they always had, I just never knew they could feel better. Brooks is now my favorite shoe!

I like the Ghost 13s much less than previous Ghost versions. They are much shorter in the ankle area and offer no support and there is much less padding in the ball of the foot. I ordered online and didn?t want to go through the hassle of returning after wearing them once. If I had tried on in store first, I would not have bought them. Disappointed.

So comfortable and stylish! Wear these during my at home workouts and also run errands in them if I need to - love my brooks! Also, i have a wider foot and these are so accommodating!

Purchased these for my wife. Easily her favorite running shoes ever. Wears this style and color every day.

Love them, comfortable, cute.

Love these! Super supportive without being heavy or clunky. Just bought another pair for my daughter.

I am a walker - not a runner. Preparing for knee replacement. The Ghost13 shoes are so very comfortable.

Received these as a gift. I am training for my first 1/2 a marathon. I was hardly a runner until COVID forced me to find a way to get a workout in while the gym was closed. A dear close friend of mine is a runner and has ran 2 half a marathons and always talked about Brooks shoes and wears them for her long runs. I have a really bad right knee and long runs can easily irritate it. These shoes are AMAZING! Light with the prefect amount of cushioning. Great support around the ankle as well. I have ran in them twice now, each time 7+ miles. I am not dragging my feet or feel like my legs/feet are heavy from the run. Roomy and can easily wiggle my toes. Definitely worth trying!

Love them. They are what I was looking for.

The feel like running on clouds. I love them!

I love these shoes. I use them everyday!! They are very comfortable and the wide ones fit me perfect!!

Lightweight and supportive shoe. Love the guide rails. Great fit. Went 1/2 size down from my usual size. Plenty of room in toes.

I use these for a boot camp gym, and I love them! I have wide feet and narrow heels. The Ghost 13?s do not flop on my size 10W feet, and they don?t squeeze my foot in the middle. They are spacious where I can feel the shoe and spread my toes. The fabric is nice because it breathes and my foot isn?t soaked after working out with socks. When walking or running (I more slow jog heavier lady here) I can feel the cushion of the sole and my knees aren?t sore after a workout. I was a former ASICS wearer and their shoe designs do not offer the support or width for wide feet people anymore, so I am a Brooks convert now :).

This shoe is perfect for my feet. I tend to have a higher arch and this is shoe provides great support.

Best shoe ever made by Brooks. Incredibly comfortable and supportive. Good for work and play.

Comfortable supportive cushiony overall a very good running shoe

Have purchased others in the Ghost line - these feel different. When you pick them up, they feel to be a shell of the Ghost 12s,and I mean they feel cheap, hollow and not made the same way as those of the past. Once on, they are great, the same fit as is expected of the Ghosts. They just feel "less" than the 10 or the 12s I have run in before. I hope the 14s are better constructed.
