After wearing a few days, I realized they are not very cushioned and felt 1/4 size smaller.

These are attractive shoes, but Brooks has significantly narrowed the roe box and cushion is not as good as previous Ghost athletic shoes. Sent them back.

I wanted to love these. Like REALLY wanted to. Sadly, they felt as comfortable to me as concrete soles. My arch also didn’t line up with the arch support and it struck in a weird place, despite the shoes being the correct size. I am sending back, sad, and probably just getting another pair of Hokas.

Love the Ghost 9 through 12. 13 is less cushion and more narrow (wore a reg width until 12, 13W was still too narrow in the toe box). Had to go to a different shoe this time ( sadly, because I am a huge Brooks fan). Hope the 14 is back to my liking.

Love my new Ghost 13. I've walked 7 miles in them and they are very comfortable.

The Ghost 13 feels like it has much less cushion in the forefoot than the Ghost 12. I notice this directly below my toes on the bottom of my foot. The shoe doesn?t provide cushioning and I feel like my foot is hitting the ground much harder than the Ghost 12. I loved the Ghost 12, but the 13 is not anywhere near the same shoe. Please bring back the Ghost 12 design.

After enjoying my Ghost 12's on which I have logged more than 400 miles, I was very disappointed in the Ghost 13. Why did Brooks change the design? Buyer beware of the Ghost 13!!! As someone with low arches, I expected the same arch support as the Ghost 12's but was very disappointed. In fact, Ghost 13's have weak arch support and hurt my feet after my usual five-mile run! After returning them, I scoured the web for Ghost 12's that are still available for sale at various retailers. I found and ordered two pairs of my favorite running shoe. Now, I'm hopeful that in Ghost 14 Brooks will go back to the original design with great arch support!

These are ok shoes except the inside padding of the heels is wearing Even using a shoe horn they are very difficult to put on I am wondering if they have an extended warranty? I have not had this problem with other shoes

I’ve been a Ghost wearer since the 9 model. I’ve liked them all up until this one. This one is narrower- they changed the material- it squeezes my foot and makes it look like my foot is too wide for the shoe. I’ve always worn the same size in the Ghost and have never ordered a wide in any shoe my entire life. I’m disappointed in these. I’ll try the Adrenaline but if they aren’t good I’ll have to go to Hoka or another brand.

I've got super narrow feet and have been wearing the Brooks Ghost shoe for some time because it comes in a narrow width (I think this was going to be my 5th pair). Unfortunately, the Ghost 13 seems to be lacking arch support. I've replaced the insole of all the Brooks Ghost shoes I've owned with a Superfeet running insole, but even after inserting the brand new Superfeet the arch support was still missing. Also, the shoe seems to be a little shorter than the previous iteration. I'm sad that Brooks has changed the specs on my favorite shoe; I will have to look for another running shoe with better arch support.

Fit great and feel great, but the craftsmanship is poor. A piece of material came loose and bunched up in the front inside of the shoe and finally came completely out. Now where the material was, it appears the outside toe is coming unglued. They are only a month or so old. I've never had the problem with Brooks before and I am so sad. They are usually a well built, comfortable shoe and worth the price. Maybe I just got a bad pair.

I need a sneaker with a roomy toe box -- this particular model was not it! I've had luck with this brand before but this model was not comfortable at all.

Unlike previous Brooks running shoes which fit perfectly, this felt loose around the ankle and heel. The shoe was nicely cushioned however,

I have been wearing ghosts since I stated running and I love them, but the 13?s have a crease that pops up and down when you walk at the toe box. It?s is right where your 3rd toe is, it?s annoying when you run or walk, not a Fan of them hopefully they will fix the issue, I get a new pair every 3-4 months then my old shoes go to work shoes.... not these they are in the back of the closet! I have seen others with same complaint

The laces on these shoes are so poorly made, they come untied every time I exercise. Furthermore the red on the bottom of the shoe deteriorates quickly. I would not recommend these

I bought these at my local Fleet Feet as I've been running on Brooks Ghosts for the past 3 years or so. I can't believe how much my heels have been hurting after running or walking any significant distance in these shoes. So disappointing!

I have had several pairs of Brooks Ghost and absolutely love them, but the fit and comfort of the Brooks 13 have changed. I used to wear and 8 which is now too big, 7.5 is too small, and they don’t have the cushion & comfort of previous models. I am disappointed and will be returning them.

I love Brooks overall but I was disappointed with this pair of sneakers. They were smaller than usual. I can't wear my typical running socks with them - too tight.

So disappointed. After all the great reviews expected these to fit better than my Ghost 12. They don't for me. Rub on both sides of my feet and I don't feel the cushion others have raved about. I was going to try them in a wide but they are sold out in my size and color choice. Also was hoping for better color choices. Would like to see more bright colors, florescents and wilder designs.

I initially liked these shoes a lot and walked around in them, which was a mistake -- although the toe box seemed barely wide enough, I thought it would work. (I also tried the wide, but it was far too big, so kept the medium width.) The style is great, but the overall shape of this shoe is actually somewhat narrower than the Ghost 12 model. I wish that Brooks would bring back Ghost 9, which for me, was the perfect sneaker. Sadly, this just isn't it. Ghost 13 makes Ghost 12 seem good.

Brooks has made the Ghost 13 now to replace the Ghost 12! The quality has gone way down. Before the Brooks insignia was a padded good looking style... now they put a very thin heat sticker. Looks like a sticker from a Dime Store . Why do you have to go down in wuality of your shoe Brooks??? If this shoe tears up you will be getting a letter and return Brooks!!! You use to be the best made shoe!!!
