Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

Needed to replace my Ghost 11’s, which were perfect for me. Tried both the Ghost 13 and 14 to replace them, but neither has the same comfortable fit for my hard to fit feet. Wide foot, narrow heel, high arches, supinator, status post foot surgeries. Like the style of the 13’s better than the 14’s, but the material in the 13’s uppers isn’t as good as the 11’s and the arch support also is not as good. Disappointed - I returned both the 13’s and 14’s.

The left shoe feels like there is something poking under my heel.

Shoes made my shins hurt after one mile...not quite the running shoe needed. Look nice though.

Not crazy about the striped effect in person. I just want basic colors without extra "decoration." And what about beige/olive green/brown color- in a simple design? My favorites are no longer available.

Very happy with these at first. Probably my sixth(?) pair of Brooks Ghost running shoes over several years. However, this model is less durable than other years. After six months of wear, the inside is worn to the point that there is a hole and now hard plastic is starting to show through. I have never had this durability problem with previous models.

I loved the color and the these shoes but for an 8.5M they sure felt tight. I had to check the size thinking I was given a narrow instead. So I had to return them. Also, and this has never happened before, while the bottoms of the shoes were clean, they were clearly worn by someone. The inside back of the shoes had those little white sock balls from the shoe rubbing against your sock while wearing. That was a turn off. I don't want someone else's used shoes. I was surprised they couldn't clean that up before sending them to me. But I love Brooks Ghost and I bought another pair a 1/2 size larger.

These seemed like really good quality shoes, but they weren’t for me. There is a lot of puffy cushioning around the ankle that I found uncomfortable. I also tried on a pair of the ghost 14, and found them less bulky than the 13, so if you want something a little slimmer but still with a lot of cushion, maybe try the 14.

Everything was fine with these I loved them then I got them wet and now all I hear is a squishy squeaky sound:(

I have a pair of Ghost 11s, 10.5 Wide that I love. I use them almost everyday to workout indoors. So I decided to buy another pair, same size and width, since my last pair is a few years old. But the Ghost 13s are too narrow, even when I purchased it in wide. The side of my foot overlaps the edge, so it doesn't have enough support. I'll have to return them, sadly.

I usually wear womens brooks adrenaline gts 19. They are the best athletic shoes ever. I thought maybe these would be a similar fit. However, it is disappointing, these are not the same fit. They are narrower in the toe area. I had to return them. I'm not sure which shoes are a comparable fit to the adrenaline gts 19. Still looking.

Fit was fine. I usually love Brooks shoes. BUT when these shoes arrived, the little rubber(?) piece that folds up over the top of the shoe was NOT attached in the bottom left corner, so it sort of popped up a bit. I tried to fix it with super glue, which works for awhile, but then I have to fix it again. Not happy about this. I'd send the pair back for a replacement if it's OK that I already tried to fix it.

These are probably my 7th pair of Ghosts and they are not holding up well. The heels are wearing through after six months.

I am returning the Ghost 13 black shoes because they are too narrow in the toe box area. I previously ordered the light gray and they fit great. The toe box is totally different on the gray pair than the black. Very disappointing.

I love the look of these, but they are still tight on my feet after sizing up a half size. The toe box is so narrow that it causes hot spots while running. I don’t have flat feet, but the arch was still uncomfortably high. I’ll unfortunately be returning these.

I ordered these for my mom & this is her review. she has always needed a narrow width but found with these her toes felt pinched. she wasn’t crazy about the overall look of the shoe mainly the colors but I explained to her that her options we’re limited due to needing a narrow. personally I’m obsessed with Ghosts but I have a wider foot & do require a wide width in this model. I typically wear Brooks, ASICS & Saucony. whereas my mom has leaned more towards Nike & NB

fit was fine, they are not as comfortable as my previous Brooks (launch) I didn't know it would make such big difference. I will be ordering from the launch line next time (they don't have them in black :-( though)

These are not like the Ghost 12, and I found some Ghost 12 that I could buy to hold me over

Front sole is too slim and feet pitch forward, not enough cushioning For the large toes. Nice light shoe however the foot pitches too forward When walking.

These were just way too marshmallow-y soft for my preferences. I can see how they might be comfortable for very long runs, but there was no bounce to them at all. I also immediately noticed arch discomfort and pronation, even though that isn’t something I usually have trouble with. To you it all off, the light blue color ended up being pretty obnoxious in person. I rarely return shoes but these were just a miss on every level for me.

Didn't care for the color. Was more of a mauve than a hushed purple to me.

I have purchased Brooks running shoes in the past and ordered size 11 with no issues. For some reason the shoes are too small. Requested an exchange to 11.5.

It fit fine

I don't know what Brooks has done to their shoes but they have changed. The last few pairs are not as comfortable as they were in the past. I can wear them for a few hours but after that I have to change to another pair of shoes. I've noticed this in the last few Brooks I've bought. I am now looking for a new shoe that gives support, comfort and I can wear for a day if necessary.
