Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

Great fit, and comfort, above average arch support, which is huge for me personally. I really like the look of the shoe and haven't wanted to take them off.

I have bought Ghost Brooks for years and I have to say that the 13 is by far the best. I have always loved and depended on these for my long distance walking shoe. They never disappoint. I ordered a second pair the day after my first ones arrived.

LOVED...but had to return them. This was THE most comfortable shoe I have ever purchased....unfortunately after having them just 1 week, the inside sole on both shoes started to split. I only wore them around the house. I am sending them back because they are too expensive for this to be happening with minimal wear. They run about 1/2 size too small so SIZE UP 1/2 size for a good fit. I usually wear a 9 1/2 and sized up to a 10. If the sole was not splitting, these would be my #1 choice in a running shoe.

I have bought these shoes for years and years. The 13's feel way wider and way longer. I always buy an 8 but this time I had a good inch of room in the toe area. It set my foot in the wrong place within the shoe and threw off my gait. There does seem to be more heel cushioning in these vs the 12's but less in the toe ball area which is where I need it the most. I still like this shoe but the fit is much larger than the last few years of this shoe. I gave it two weeks thinking in winter i'd be wearing thicker socks but ended up buy heel rubber guards to make the shoe more snug but it didn't really help so ended up returning for a 1/2 size smaller and I have never worn a 7 1/2 Ghost shoe before. Zappo's is the BEST with the 30 day return on run shoes - their customer service is the best out there. I check here first for everything before shopping anywhere else.

These are comfy and not too structured feeling-- gives your feet room to be feet, not stuffed into a corset. I

This shoe cushions my foot. Because of a high instep, I tie the shoe loosely, but it is cushiony. Much better than the 12.

These shoes are AMAZING! I am on my feet all day for work and these shoes held up. No break in period required. Felt great from the first moment I put them on. Highly recommend!

I have been wearing Brooks Ghost since version 6 or 7 and this is the first pair that felt like I was wearing hard clubs on my feet. Very very uncomfortable.

Comfortable right out of the box. 2nd pair of these and will buy again.

It took awhile to find the right size but I believe I finally have it now. I ordered after having Ghost 10 for several years and tried Ghost 12....what a mistake, there was not the cushioning I needed and not happy with the shoe at all. Waited for the 13's and what a blessing, exactly what I needed. Thanks Zappos for being patient with me during my quest for new shoes!

These shoes are really good for my feet (judging from one run followed by a few hours of walking on concrete). I've had many Brooks over the years (including the Ghost 11), but none of the earlier ones fit me as well as these. I have very narrow ankles/heels but close to a medium-width forefoot. Most shoes thus make me choose between fitting the front or back of my feet. Blessedly, however, these give me plenty of toe room without slipping in the back. My high arches are also quite a bit happier in these than in the Ghost 11's or my Mizunos. With this level of comfort and fit, I would have accepted a certain amount of ugly. But the light blue with a dash of orange is actually downright stylish! (Also, by the way, the automated tip I got from Zappos that I should probably order a size 8.5 rather than a 9 was spot on. I had had doubt that Zappos's algorithm could choose the size better than I could, but it was right!)

I'm so disappointed in the Ghost 13. I loved the Ghost 12, which provided great support and cushioning basically felt like a cloud. The 13 feel like there is a lot less cushioning and support, and the toe box is too wide (I have the narrow version in both the 12 and 13). They basically aren't supportive enough for me to run in them, so I've just been wearing them on walks. They also have a weird flaw that makes the upper fabric bend down and rub against my toe (see picture). I wish I would have bought several pairs of the 12 when they were available.
