Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

I am a Brooks fan and always buy Ghost. Unfortunately, I am returning these. The toe bed cushion is lacking and the angle of the padding on the right shoe is very uncomfortable. I don't know if I received a defective set but these caused me great pain so I will be returning.

I don't actually wear these for running, I am a school nurse and use them for the great support I need in the health room!

True confessions: I'm not a runner! But I am a fitness walker who has been walking about 4.4 miles 6-7 days a week since quarantine. I used old sneakers and bought a new pair thinking they'd do the trick...the trick being no pain or twinges or aches in my feet, shins and hips. That trick became my reality this morning after purchasing the Ghost 13 yesterday! I am over the moon happy with these running shoes and cannot thank Brooks for creating them! I especially appreciated the little quiz that evaluated what shoe would be best for me!

I work in a hospital and am on my feet on hard floors all day. These shoes give me good support and great cushion. They are true to size, roomy enough in the toes , and have a good grip on the bottom. At the end of a long day my feet do not hurt. I don't want to take them off when I get home, so I leave them on as I make dinner. I have other pairs of Brooks, these are my favorite right now. I have been a long time buyer of Brooks and will continue. Worth every penny!!

On my feet 12+ hours at work. It has a good bounce back to help with fatigue. Good cushioning. Although I feel like the arch support is slightly off; a bit too close towards the heel in my opinion but everyone has different feet. My final review will be to see how long the comfort actually lasts, which will determine if I would buy it again. If it lasts just as long as the shoes that are half the price, then no. Thanks!

So, I noticed that another person had the same issue I'm encountering, see below (copied her review). Like her, I notice that when I step the toe box sort of concave in right over my 4th toe, exactly as she mentioned (take a look at her post from August 26, 2020), she even drew a perfect circle on the shoe where it happens. I can't explain or understand what this is happening but it's very annoying and I can't stop thinking about it as I walk. I think it's going to drive me nuts because you can feel and almost hear the sound of the top of the shoe folding inward. I'm baffled as to why this is happening. I even order a smaller size (size 10) thinking it might be that but it's not that. I'm clearly a size 10.5 because the 10 seems to hurt, given that my toes are pushing up against the toe box. This may have to do with the fact that the toe box is pretty wide. This is very weird and I cannot explain it. "I like the fit of the 12 much better. This shoes seems much bigger. There's a ridge over that runs over my 4th toe of my left foot ever time I go from dorsiflexion to plantarflexion. I double checked the model and size just to be sure I ordered the right shoe. I will still use it for walking and strength training but not for my high impact work. I no longer run however I do use running shoes for STEP, Cardio HITT and dance aerobics. I know from my experience with running that these shoes would not work. I am a neutral runner, high arch and tend to run just behind the ball of my feet ( used to be a sprinter)"

These are the best running sneakers that I have ever purchased!!

Hands down, best sneaker on the market! Where have you been all my life?!

These are absolutely a five for me, in terms of fit. They are far more comfortable than the previous version in that the toe box is wider, the shoe is a bit longer, and the laces feel much more secure. However, I will echo what many other wide-shoe runners have expressed: the colors are disappointing. I would buy one in each of the fun colors, if that were an option, but it's not. As it is, I'll buy multiple pairs in the basic black/white, but Brooks is missing an opportunity to be more inclusive in its color palate for folks like me. We don't necessarily all want multiple shades of gray shoes. Thanks, and take care!

Brooks are my favorite shoes ever. They are very well made and are perfect for anything you want to do.

Love these shoes! They are extremely comfortable and supportive. Great purchase!

While I?m not a runner, I am on my feet 10+ hours a day and these sneakers have made a huge difference in the way my feet and legs feel at the end of the day! I give them a 10+!!

Fit is great and very comfortable.

My second time purchasing the Ghost model from Brooks and I love them!

I love them so much that I got a second pair today

Super cushy but not my favorite and I?ve been running on brooks ghost shoes for 10+ years. Tongue too narrow at top or maybe just too short for length of shoe. Performance good but just not the best ghost.

I love these shoes! I've owned 4 pairs of Brooks shoes, 2 of which the Revel and I thought I wouldn't stray from them but gave the ghost a try. They are perfect! I mostly rely on my Brooks for work, I'm a PT and on my feet all day working with patients and running across a very large facility. The ghost gives me a spring in my step and I have had zero leg fatigue at the end of the day. I also recently started to get into *light* running and plan to purchase a second pair exclusively for that. Highly recommend the Ghost 13 shoes.

These are extremely comfortable and have great cushion! I do HIIT training daily as well as walk a lot, and they definitely profound the comfort I need!

I have such problems with my feet anyway, it's hard to judge something with my use. One of my cardio exercises is fitness walking. I have to say that I have already put several miles on these Ghosts & they feel pretty good. I still have sore feet but not like they could be. I would recommend the Ghost line.

The Ghost 13 for me is definitely an improvement over the 12. They are noticeably more comfortable, which is important for my feet. I think they run just big in the width, but I enjoy the roominess in the toe box. I gave a 4 instead of 5 because there is a "click" inside on the toe of one of the shoes whenever I take a step.

I ordered these online going by what i learned in January when I actually went to a store to try on before I bought. That day I ended up Revel (I don't remember the number), but really wanted the Ghost 12 because they were cushier, but also more expensive. So when I ordered the Ghost 13, I was really excited. Unfortunately, they are not as comfy as the 12 and I wish I would have gone to try on again first. They have good support, just not as comfortable as I would like.
