Not as supportive in the arch as the Ghost 12, but better than the Adrenaline. Overall they are working out.

Usually like a 10.5 N, but tried the 11N to get more toe room. Unfortunately, as the size got bigger, so did the width, so the fit is sloppy.

I?ve worn Ghosts for years. I feel the quality of the 13?s are not as good as the previous years. Not a fan of the cushy hoka style heals. Also, the color patterns are a little cheesy. Can we go back to classic, basic, good, solid quality shoes? This is actually my 2nd pair of 13s and I?ve been disappointed with both pairs. The 10?s were my favorites! I owned 4 pairs!

Everything was nice about the shoes except there is a definite inward lean on both shoes. I already have a tendency to lean into the inside of my heal, so these just won't work for me.

I wrote a 5 star review shortly after receiving these because they actually fit!! And there was sufficient cushioning. After wearing them occasionally for ten months, I have developed painful calluses in identical spots on each foot and am therefore revising my review. These are fine shoes for a trip to the grocery store, but not for longer walks. I need a shoe that helps correct my supination issues and this is not the shoe. They are wearing normally and I have not had any problems with the material quality, they just aren't for this supinator.
I'd also recommend:

They were great for about 2 months of consistent training. Great weight and hugs feet well. Air flow is amazing. I expected them to last a bit longer though. They haven't fallen apart or broke any seems but they don't feel comfortable anymore. Now, if I jog for about an hour, I expect my feet to hurt. True to size when purchased.

Overall....not very happy. I have been buying Ghosts since they came out. I have always loved them in the past....loved being able to wear them to work right out the box for up to 18 hours. Not with the Ghost 13. I did read other reviews prior to deciding to go ahead an get the 13. The other reviews were correct! The toe box has been narrowed. So much so, that I had to buy toe separators and wear them for the first week or so of wearing the shoes and I had to alternate wearing my old shoes because the 13 hurt my feet. My feet get tired more easily....and nothing has changed, except I went from wearing my Ghost 12 to 13! I feel that the cushion in the toe/front of the shoe is less than the 12 (including earlier versions). I did not want to buy the 14 because the reviews are even worse than the 13. I really don't want to have to find a different shoe but so far, the Ghost 13 is not a win for me! I really wish they would change shoe back to the previous specs---because it was a great shoe! I don't wanna give up on Brooks Ghost---please, please go back! I usually buy 2-3 pairs a year, trading them out around every 4-6 months. The color options are great, except I am suppose to wear all black (or mostly black with one additional color)---they did not have option in my size. I looked several times before deciding to go ahead and purchase the closest option. I do however, prefer the all black. I do not care for the white bottoms, no matter the color.

These aren’t the most comfortable for running, and they just feel clunky :(

I cannot review these shoes because what was sent to me were two right shoes. The one shoe I was able to try on felt great in terms of the fit and comfort. Obviously, I had to return them.

These are my first pair of brooks, i?ve ran in these about 6 different times so far and I?m a little disappointed. These shoes definitely run small. I wasn?t sure if they were my right size at first when I first tried them on until I actually ran in them. My feet felt uncomfortably snug. If you?re thinking about getting these shoes and have never ran in brooks, I recommend sizing half a size up. Overall the shoe seemed a little stiff, don?t think I?ll be ordering these ever again.

After purchasing the shoes loved them then suddenly the left she broke down and something in the arch was pushing up against my arch causing pain . Could not walk without the shoe hurting my foot. Was very disappointed with the shoe. Called Zappos and they were very kind and issued me a return label and stated they would label as defective and issue me a credit. I purchased the Brooks Ghost 14 since I did like how the shoe felt hopefully these will be better.

They feel hard to me and not enough structure in the toe so my foot moves around too much. I kept them but realized I should not have.

I love how comfortable they are but I?ve only had them for less than two months and they are already falling apart. I don?t even wear them everyday and that?s why I?m so confused.

I've worn Brooks Ghost for years but lately they seem to wear out much more quickly. Only 2 months in and the soles are all ready worn down.

I've had Brooks in the past, but these did not seem wide at all. My my foot stuck out over the side of this shoe. The arch was a little uncentered on my arch. It was more towards the back. They weren't as cushy as they used to be either. Overall I'm disappointed in Brooks and I'm going back to New Balance.

I loved my first pair but if I'm being honest, I think I wore through them in 4 months. I do not run, only walk around a metropolitan area and stand for maximum 4 hours while working. I have PFS and tendonitis issues in one leg that flare up with poor footwear. I absolutely adored my first pair. I felt I was on Cloud 9. I felt that if I wanted to run, I could. No pain, no soreness, just ease with getting around. I ordered my second pair of Ghost 13s a whole 4 months after I first invested. And in a side by side comparison, I definietly notice the lack of support and heaviness of the older pair. This disappoints me because I don't think this is a sustainable practice but I am desperate to not be in pain while trying to experience life. Will I be back for my third pair in January of 2022? Three pairs in 8 months? Let's wait and see.

The back of these shoes are too high for me, and the shoes caused rubbed against my heels for too long. I had blisters for a few weeks. Now the shoes feel comfortable, but the material has worn through in the back. For the price, these shoes should have lasted much longer. I will not purchase again and don't recommend them.

I loved these shoes, but for some reason the left one (on 3 different pairs) had a popping feeling under my toes. Almost like bubble wrap popping. Maybe it is a manufacturing issue since it was more than one pair and only the left foot. Other than that they would have been great.

I'm a nurse and have been wearing the same pair of Brooks Glycerin 17s for a long while. I decided to order the ghost 13s because of the great reviews, but I'll be returning. My heels hurt so badly in these. I thought maybe I just needed to break them in, but the pain never went away. Switched back to my glycerins and the heel pain is gone. Going to try Hoka.

The fit was good. Arch support with my orthodontics, fine. They just did not hold up well. The back heel fell apart after 3 mos.
