Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

What’s missing is good support of the foot. I believed they would wear out quickly because of too much give in the mesh material. I need more support.

Positives: Good width in toe. Loved that the material above the toes is thin, breathable and stretchy. Loved the look of the Ombre/Black/Primrose color. Liked the material of the laces. Negatives: When walking my feet moved all the way to the front of the toe box. When going downhill this was much more extreme. Since I live in hilly terrain I need to be able to walk up and down hills without my foot sliding to the toe.

I like how these look but ordered a half size bigger and they are still tight - order a full size more. Hoping I could send them back

I've been wearing Ghosts for about 4 years now. These are the first pair that didn't hit the mark. They are too wide and the soft knit upper is too soft and flexible to provide support. I had to keep them because I wore them, and they are an expensive mistake. Next time I will make sure that the upper mesh is firmer than a knit. Or next time, I won't order shoes, but rather go to a store and try them on. That is the preferred option after this expensive mistake.

This shoe felt too short and too narrow. I loved the pink trim but did not like the neon yellow laces, pink laces would have been awesome!

I have a high arch so usually get a wide to Accommodate. This was a medium and they were very big. Loved the look but had to send back as the fit was very big.

I loved this shoe....at first. But after wearing them a couple of weeks there is a design flaw in the toe box. It starts to buckle/fold and rub your big toe. I thought I could push thru it, but alas, no. Too late to return. Going in the trash can. Inferior product choice in the toe box, doesn't hold it's shape. So sad really as the 12 version doesn't do this....

I have to agree with many others. This is not your usual ghost. Gone is the support & the heel comes up a tad too high on ankle & ankle bone that it rubs. Blisters waiting to happen. The toe box is more rounded, which I like & toes have plenty of room to spray. However the forefoot is hard & material is sloppy that I felt my forefoot sliding around even though it was the right size. No support in toe area. The addition of the foam throughout the lateral side for the full length of the shoe did not even feel it, nor did it make a difference to me. Just a hard,no support front part of the shoe. NOTHING like the great fit & support of the 12 model. The 10 & 12 were the best for me, but the 13 is a no go. Sorry Brooks, but this improved model, to me, is a few steps backwards from what the ghost has been in the past. I bought up some more 12's while I could find them.

Ghost 12 was perfect. Left shoe was rubbing against ankle bone. It doesn't seem necessary to add additional height to a shoe.

When I ordered, I overlooked that the sole is a pale pink. It's a matter of taste, maybe it's good for you. I'm ordering something else instead.

I heard great things about these shoes but they were so thin and light I didn't feel they had any support. They were also very narrow.

I love these shoes, they are supportive and fit perfectly! However, I have been wearing them for just about a month and I already have a hole in the inside lining.

The Brooks style was great. But the size and width was not comfortable,

This is my second pair of Brooks. Loved the first pair (wore out the soles with pandemic walking). This pair runs small... very odd.

I wear brooks ghost all the time this pair felt a size to small very disappointed

I've worn Ghost 7's and this Ghost 13 is made much cheaper. Not as much support around the fabric and fabric cheaper. The soles aren't as thick. They felt comfortable but returning since I don't think the fabric will last long. Bring back the styling of the Ghost 7.

Was disappointed with style. They were not identical to the pair bought a few weeks before. Looked more like on older design.

I have always loved the Brooks Ghost. I have the 10 and 12 and this shoe just felt so much different. It was a half size too small. The left shoe sat lower on my heel than the right so I'm not sure if it was manufactured incorrectly. I had previously returned a defective pair and ZAPPOS has amazing customer service but unfortunately I don't believe Brooks is making the same quality shoe :(

I love the look of this shoe, but I didn't care for the fit. They felt too small and I didn't sense enough overall support, including arch. I exchanged them for a pair of HOKA's and those suit my feet better.
