Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

I am not quite sure if I am going to keep these. My toes seem to slip down while running down hill. I did not have this problem with the Ghost 12. I do like the cushion better.

I would never buy this shoe again. The support was terrible. I love brooks shoes but certainly not the Ghost.

So, I noticed that another person had the same issue I'm encountering, see below (copied her review). Like her, I notice that when I step the toe box sort of concave in right over my 4th toe, exactly as she mentioned (take a look at her post from August 26, 2020), she even drew a perfect circle on the shoe where it happens. I can't explain or understand what this is happening but it's very annoying and I can't stop thinking about it as I walk. I think it's going to drive me nuts because you can feel and almost hear the sound of the top of the shoe folding inward. I'm baffled as to why this is happening. I even order a smaller size (size 10) thinking it might be that but it's not that. I'm clearly a size 10.5 because the 10 seems to hurt, given that my toes are pushing up against the toe box. This may have to do with the fact that the toe box is pretty wide. This is very weird and I cannot explain it. "I like the fit of the 12 much better. This shoes seems much bigger. There's a ridge over that runs over my 4th toe of my left foot ever time I go from dorsiflexion to plantarflexion. I double checked the model and size just to be sure I ordered the right shoe. I will still use it for walking and strength training but not for my high impact work. I no longer run however I do use running shoes for STEP, Cardio HITT and dance aerobics. I know from my experience with running that these shoes would not work. I am a neutral runner, high arch and tend to run just behind the ball of my feet ( used to be a sprinter)"

These are good, but I was spoiled with the 10s. The ghosts just aren?t what they used to be. They went from shoes you didn?t have to worry about breaking in to a hard often tight toed Runner.

I've been running in the Ghost 11's since January 2019. I run roughly 30 miles a week and replace them after every 350 miles. I bought a few pairs of the 11's as they were being discontinued and just hit 350 miles on my last pair. I ordered the 13's and have done 4 runs in them so far (7-9 miles each). They feel pretty comfortable when I put them on and are fine for the first few miles, but then I start getting a lot of pain in my right foot (which lasts a few days after the run). I've been running for 15 years and have never had a problem with foot pain before. It's weird that it's only my right foot that's hurting--I'm wondering if there is something off with just that one shoe? I love the ghost 11's so much, I wish I could find more pairs. Not sure what I'm going to do now, but I'm scared to do anymore runs in the 13's.

Had to return them, the fit in the toe box in version 12 was much better for me.

i was really wanting to love these shoes, unfortunately i didn?t feel the cushion or better fit than my ghost 12. sent my pair back.

Works and feels great as a walking shoe...not so great as a running shoe. The toe box is wide enough for my feet, cushion is good while walking but something happens when running. Not enough support or give with the striking and landing even on a short run.

I received my Ghost 13 shoes (women's 8) two weeks ago. I was having bad knee pain the day before first wearing the shoes, but on the first day I wore them to walk around, the heel cushion alleviated that pain. However, when I started running the next day, I didn't feel like there was enough cushion in the forefoot. My feet are sore whenever I run now, but there is definitely no knee pain, so that is very helpful. I will be returning these shoes as soon as other shoes come in the mail.

These were great at first, they fit great and the most comfortable shoe I've worn. But, after 2 months the heal fabric started balling up, but were still comfortable. I've had them a year now and the fabric is worn away and have given me horrible blisters even with thick socks on. I can't wear them anymore. I expected more from shoes that are so costly.

Having issues with these when walking they have a suction like getting stuck to floors. Never had that problem and only with these shoes I have 4 other ones and no issues.

too small and I received a different color than the one I ordered

Unfortunately, I am not as pleased with my shoes as I hoped I'd be. I went a half size up and they seem too wide. Is there anything I can do?

I heard a lot about Brooks being the best show for running so I thought I would try it out. My hip still hurt really bad after a few weeks so I will be returning them.

Very disappointed in the 13?s I will be sending them back. Very hard, narrow through the toe. The 12s are so comfortable so very disappointed in the 13s. I need a new pair and have really liked the ghost shoes but this edition wasn?t good now I?m stuck in old shoes that need replaced.

I give this shoe a 1 star only because it did not fit lol. I recommend ordering a size bigger. Once I return the shoe I will definitely order another size and give another review.
