The appearance is my reason for returning. The shoe flares out on each side by the ball of the foot, making it look like flippers for scuba diving or maybe resembling Donald Duck.

I wanted to love the Ghost 13 as the Ghosts are my favorite Brooks shoe. The Ghost 10 is still my favorite. This one feels great when I put them on but after about a half day of on my feet at work they start to feel smushed down and not supportive enough. They oddly seem a little narrower and linger than previous models. They will be good for shorter duration workouts and such.

I did not like the over all look when I got them, and the laces were too thick

The fabric is very comfortable and the color is nice. I?m not a fan of the thick soles. They seem much thicker than previous Brooks or running shoes I?ve owned.

I loved my Ghost 10, but these fit very different. My big toe rubbed against the side and these felt more narrow.

I had to exchange my original purchase for a 1/2 size larger. That larger size, while it does fit, just does not feel supportive and comfortable to me.

Ok, not as comfortable as the ghost 12. I wear them for work at a hospital. I liked the way the 12's fit in the toes better.

I have been a loyal Brooks Ghost customer since Ghost 5. I credit Brooks with fixing my foot problems that doctors and PTs could not fix. I am a lifelong fan. However, I?ve noticed a steady decline in how quickly the shoe loses support since Ghost 10. I used to buy a new pair every 5-6 months and they still felt good with that much use. That turned into a new pair every 4-5 months, then 3-4 months. My current Ghost 13s have lost their support and cushion after 60 days. They aren?t the quality they used to be and I could tell the difference as soon as I opened the box. As the biggest Brooks fan there is, I?m pleading with Brooks to reverse this trend.

These shoes are the most comfortable walking shoes I have owned in a while. Just sad to see that they are made in China. Im going to keep them, but will be in the market for a new shoe made in the USA.

I am an amateur runner (about 12 miles per week) and I’ve been wearing Brooks for the past 4 or so years. The Ghost has been a great neutral shoe. It’s not too heavy and still supportive. I’ve had planter fasciitis in the past but not since running in Brooks. I wanted to like this shoe SO BADLY. Unfortunately, they were not a good fit for me. Ghost 13’s seem to have a much higher arch than the 12 and the heel was way to big for me. After running in them 3 times I had to return. I hope the Ghost goes back to being a more neutral shoe. Zappos’ generous return policy is much appreciated and I will buy from them again!

I wanted to love it. It's light and airy, the style is nice. Toe box a bit too roomy for my medium width feet. And zero arch support unfortunately. My feet were hurting just from walking 1/2 mile. I tried them a couple times.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance, UnderArmour, Hoka, Nike

Something changed between the ghost 12 and the ghost 13 I have been faithful ghost purchaser since ghost seven. These 13s are so wide in the toebox I have to tie my shoe so tight so my foot does not slide around. It?s as if the material is so stretchy it gives no support. Very disappointed

The Ghost 13 is not as comfortable as my last pair of Brooks. The last pair I had were the Levitate 2, and they were extremely comfortable.

I really want to love these shoes. They have such a nice cushion and my feet feel so supported, but I have an issue with my left shoe dimpling. For some reason the fabric at the toe pulls and it puts pressure on my toes in certain spots. This is soooooo annoying while walking and doing workouts. I chatted with someone from zappos and Brooks. Zappos said it's probably a defect since it's just on one foot and sent me a new pair. Brooks said the shoe was probably too wide (but it's not happening to my right foot so I don't know that I fully believe the person from Brooks) so I ordered a regular width to try and they didn't fit well. I looked through reviews and it looks like others have this issue with this in the same color I ordered so maybe it is a defect? Just for reference, I am a size 10.5 (I went to a store and got measured just so I would be sure of the size to order) and have a somewhat wide foot so that's the size I ordered. I tried the 11, 11 wide and 10.5 -- the 10.5 wide feels the best on my foot by far. I am debating just keeping them and dealing with the issue. I am going to give it a few workouts and walks to see how severe it gets compared to the first pair I tried.

The right shoe looked defective coming way below my ankle compared to the left. Also - too much room in the toe box for me.

They are petty flimsy for the price. Not enough arch support. I like the Glycerin style much better.

NOT a runner. Have used my wonderful Ghost 10 (7 Narrow) only for exercise classes. Ghost 13 is okay -- but not nearly as comfortable. It is a little sloppy in width (making side-to-side movements a bit less assured). Also, I am not thrilled with the extra high tongue on the 13 -- although, fortunately, it is very soft & not causing pain or bruising. I DO like the continued wide toebox, which keeps my toes from squishing. As a size 7 Narrow, my choices for comfortable athletic shoes is EXTREMELY limited. I hope future Ghosts can return more to the style & comfort of the 10 (& its more lively colors for the width challenged)!
