They seem narrower than the Ghost 11.

Only two colors exist for size 10.5 Narrow - there are no bright colors as there are for other non-Narrow sizes. The fit is good but the choice of colors is terrible - hopefully Brooks will make other colors in this size soon!

Unfortunately, these weren't for me. The shoes are nice and the heel cushioning is good, but I realized that my feet are a little flat and the arch support in this shoe was causing some knee issues. The shoes do seem narrow, as others have noted, and I don't have wide feet, so it does make it feel very supported. I realized I need something with a lower heel to toe drop, though and some more cushion in the toe. I think it's great that Brooks lets you actually wear the shoe and return it, so I would still recommend them as a brand and if you have high arches, this shoe may be good for you.

The picture on my screen shoes the shoes as a blue with pink. When I opened the box I was surprised to see more of a purple dark lavender color. The feel of the shoes are very nice and soft. There is some cushion but for a plus size person as myself, it didn't offer enough and I knew it would be hard on my feet when walking on concrete. After the in home test I felt my feet starting to hurt. The toe box is also too narrow for me.

I have a pair of the ghost 12 that I love! I like to keep 2 pair that I wear regularly so I decided to purchase the Ghost 13. It seemed heavier and stiffer and something about the insole rotated my stride so my hips hurt after a short time of walking. I tried several times before I was convinced the shoes were the problem. I have had several pairs of Glycerin which I also love. I will always be a Brooks fan but will probably search for the Ghost 12 to replace the 13. Great customer service from Brooks on my return!

I wore the Ghost for years and loved it. I moved over to the bedlam and levitate. I love the guide rails on the Bedlam, then when Bedlam2 came out, you sewed the tongue down which compromised me getting a foot into the shoe. After wearing the Bedlam and levitate, I find the Ghost is now like having a concrete block on each foot, so sadly I had to return the Ghost 13. But for many I am sure the shoe works well.

I have owned Brooks Ghost 10 and two pairs of 11's, which were way too narrow after the 10. Are these on the narrower side or is the upper widened back out for the 13?

I was super excited when these areived. IV heard great things about this brand for many years and figured I'd go ahead and take the plunge . When they arrived they looked cute and felt comfortable when you put them on but not long after my heel and knee started hurting. Neither have given me issue in a long time. I changed my shoe and felt relief. The next day I tried them again and same thing. It just wasn't meant to be with me or maybe I need to try a different type than the ghost.

I like the mid/ forefoot cushion upgrade. Toe box is a little narrow and tight. Ghost 11 was a better shoe. Overall 13 is OK but needs more color choices for womens shoe. Mine is breaking in a becoming more comfortable than at first.

I am not a runner, I was looking for an everyday / walking sneaker. However, it is a very comfortable shoe, though I would have liked a thinner sole for everyday use.

I realize that when I got them that they were the 13 version. I now realize that's probably why they were on sale. My one's that I was replacing were the 14's. I am disappointed. They are not as comfortable as my old ones, in fact they hurt the bottom of feet after a long walk. Not a fan

When I first got these shoes I absolutely loved them. I take exercise classes about 3 times a week and after 2 months the shoes felt worn out and like there was hardly any support. I wish they lasted longer before wearing out especially for the price. Would not buy again.

they're comfortable don't get me wrong. But after about a month of wearing them for work they're falling apart! I've worn the Brooks Ghosts shoes for years and haven't had any issues. Has the quality gone down?

i received on friday and wore yesterday and am not happy with heel support. doesnt seem as if it is giving enough support when your heel hits the inside of the back of the shoe.. trying to chat about this and unfortunately no one is coming on .

They felt great when I first put them on, and they may be ok/potentially great walking shoes as they seemed to fit my feet really well with no heel slip. But? I took them out on many short runs to see if I just needed to break them in, and my feet hurt by the end of the runs to the point that I couldn?t wait to take them off and thought about walking home barefoot. I really wanted to like them, as I?m training for a half, but I couldn?t risk keeping them to wait and see.

I must say, I’m not a fan of these. At first slip on, they felt good. But when wearing them for more than 2 hours, my entire foot, both of them, ache. Everywhere. Going to try something else. Yea

I absolutely love Brooks Ghost running shoes. I can’t say enough positive things about the fit, comfort, and style. I received this pair (my third) and was incredibly disappointed with the color! I actually thought I had purchased the wrong pair.! The ombré black looks more like navy than a dark grey, especially in sunlight.I wear these everywhere so was looking for a more definitive grey, unfortunately I wore them hoping they would magically change colors. Won’t make that expensive mistake again.

The change is very evident. Quality has gone down since ghost 10. I have been wearing Brooks for over ten years but thinking of changing. The material does not last near as long

I used to love Brooks and had the best luck with them. They are now either too small, too big, or just not feel right. I will be returning all three pairs and will try another style and brand.
