Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

I have ran in the Brooks Ghost for years - this is my first pair of 13s after running in the 12s for a couple of years. The 13s feel bigger to me - the material is more flexible and although I think it will be breathable in the summers, I run in the Minnesota winters and will need an extra pair of socks to keep feet warm.

The toes were narrow, but otherwise the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I could walk all day with legs and feet not feeling tired.

I switched to Brooks Ghost about two years ago from Mizuno's Wave Riders when I couldn't get them anymore. I'm not a runner but a dedicated walker doing 10,000 steps a day and the Brooks shoes have really worked out. I wear my own arch support with the shoes and it fits perfectly. I'm really happy.

I am a Brooks Ghost fan, and have been for about a decade for my running-about 25 miles a week + wearing out and about, so about 40 miles a week. Love the cute colors on the shoes, and they always feel like a pillow when you put your feet in a brand new pair of shoes. Great for running. Downside? The cutest shoelaces in the world (I love the material and multi-colors) are 1) too short for the shoes. I don’t get enough lace to double knot the shoes. 2) these shoelaces do not stay tied! They come undone with every run, and that is atypical for my Brooks shoes! So I have to stop mid run to retire and attempt to double knot, but the laces are too short. Will continue to buy Brooks Ghost, but will be trying to check out the laces via pictures before buying. Also, felt the proper size for length of my foot, but for the top of my foot, it felt small, which is not something I typically encounter-but that also would match up with my comment on laces being too short.

I wanted to like these, but they pinched my toes. I purchased a 1/2 size larger than normal. Why do manufacturers make running shoes with narrow toe boxes? Anyway, my knees ached after a sustained run. That never happened before. Had to send back.

Fit is the best. I have wide feet and can't usually get shoes that fit this comfortably. My feet were sore on the bottoms for like the first two weeks and now jus off and on. So the bottom padding isn't the best but that can be an easy fix with replacement shoe cushions. I would have preferred not having to get replacement cushions for new shoes but at least my foot isn't squeezed.

These would be perfect if they came in EE.

These shoes are attractive and have a lovely wide toe box. I really wanted them to work but unfortunately the left heel hit me at a bad angle and made wearing them uncomfortable. So sad. Will be returning.

I purchased black with white trim on the soles. I wish there was more white in the design on the sides, to brighten them up. The support feels good on my feet. It’s hard to find a good shoe that doesn’t make my foot ache after several hours. I had LisFranc surgery on my right foot 1 1/2 yrs ago. Happy to have found Brooks!

I liked these shoes until they rubbed a blister on the left heel. UGH! I returned them and bought a pair of Glycerin 19.
