I loved the Ghost 12. First Brooks I have warn in over 5 to 6 years. Then came the Ghost 13 Disappointed!! The make of the shoe is poor qaulity . I can tell the difference. They are cutting back on quality. Even the swoosh design is cheap looks like a sticker was applied. Doesn’t have the detail and puffiness of the previous. The support.. well terrible compared to previous.. After wearing the 13-I now have plantar Fascitis... and I owe it all to the 13 and the lack of support!!! What the heck Brook?!?

I have always worn Brooks Ghost shoes. I am very disappointed in this pair. They are narrower than any other Pair of Brooks I?ve worn. Why keep changing them? I?ve always liked Brooks because they are more roomy in the toe. Not these...nobody?s feet are exactly the same and unfortunately I counted on the roominess for my left foot which somehow is a bit wider. Guess I?m done with Brooks.

The shoes came to me USED. The soles were dirty and had dirt and rocks stuck in the treads, and the insides of the shoes show signs of having been worn.

Initially, I loved this shoe! Loved the colors, how lightweight they were and the comfort. Then, the left shoe toe box started creasing and it felt like air popping under foot too - made walking in them uncomfortable. I am disappointed!

I first tried the Brooks brand about 10 years ago and was truly NOT a fan then . I could never find actual colors I liked was a big thing and then just bought a pair I ? kinda ? liked because the brand was ? highly talked about ? among runners . Needless to say I wore them like 2 times and hated them . Fast Forward to about a month ago when I purchased the Ghost 13 and fell in Love with the color option which was a white with black and chartreuse ( can?t remember actual colors names ) . Had them about 3 weeks and the rubber on the toe of one shoe started peeling off . I quickly contacted customer service and was told they would gladly take care of it and replace my shoes . Unfortunately the color I fell in love with was Sold Out in my size ( bummer ) I asked if I could switch to another shoe and just pay difference and that was a Negative!! So, I picked a color I knew was not my style ( none of them were at that point ) . So, even though they were extremely generous, it didn?t solve that my shoes I loved were falling apart . The shoe just doesn?t hug my foot and feels like it has stretched . Just wish they would come out with more neon colors like these .

I measured the Wide width of Ghost 13 and my old Standard width Ghost 11s and the Ghost Standard width 11s are Wider. Ghost 11 standard width is 3" and the new Ghost 13 width is 2 1/2".

None that I know of for plantar fasciitis...all the brands cut corners. Orthotic brands are too hard

I have been wearing Ghost for several years.....the Ghost 12 is so tight. I always wear 7.5 but someone must have cut these incorrectly.....very disappointed.

I have never been able to wear the Ghost style since Ghost 11. Ghost 12 and 13 are so narrow and tight I ordered Ghost 13 in wide....and I do not have wide feet. The width is better, but the shoe is longer so I have to lace up to the very last holes to keep them on my heels and the laces are then way too short. The toe box in the wide is also larger and the sneaker is also longer. Why do you keep changing the Ghost? I still wear my two old pairs of Ghost 11 with holes in the toes, which wear out so quickly due to the cheap, thin fabric. I have plantar fasciitis and all the other brands sneakers I used to wear are also too narrow from cutting corners, just like Brooks.

Bring back the Cush of the Ghost 11. The Ghost 13 is hard and narrower. Don't mess with a good thing. So disappointed

I wish I had kept the box to return these. I have the Ghost 12 and they are amazing. These have given me blisters all over my toes. In my 30 years of running, I have never gotten blisters. These are horrible.

These were the worst Ghosts I have ever purchased. This is my 5th ghost purchase and I'm going back to the 12. Heel cushion thin compared to 12.

Ordered the Ghost 13 in size 8.5 medium a few weels ago and they fit perfect. Went back and ordered same size in black of the Ghost 13 and they are shorter and very narrow and do not fit. Label says 8.5 medium but they are not. Returning for a different one hopefully it will fit the same as my first pair.

I was so excited for the Ghost 13 to finally arrive. I was very disappointed because they are much too large in the toe box. I have a wide toe area but these shoes float on me.

Can't rate them yet. Why can't these come in a leopard print!! Why are all the colors black, gray or blue. These are supposed to be women's sneakers. How about some pink, dark purple some funky colors. I'm kind of disappointed in the color choices.

I always wear the ghosts. This new one is definitely not as comfortable. I don't know what's different but I would not recommend. I'm on my feet all day and have loved all the others, this one doesn't seem to have much cushion.
Would not recommend

I found the Ghost 13 clunky, aesthetically unattractive and no where near as comfortable or streamlined of a style as the 12. The exterior materials appear to be lesser (cheaper) quality than used on the 12 as well. I returned the 13 for the 12. The 13 is no comparison to the 12.

I've been running/walking in the Ghost for several years and never had a problem with the quality of the shoe. The 13, however, started wearing out in the heel after only 2 weeks of use. The fabric started balling up inside the heel and a tear appeared on top of the back. That's never happened with any of my other Ghost models and I have put 600 or more miles on them.

Not happy with this shoes. Do not have enough cushion on the shoes. I can feel the road when I run. Still looking around for a better running shoes

This is my first pair of highly recommended Brooks shoes, and I am terribly disappointed. I've just started running, and these shoes are incredibly uncomfortable. I don't feel like they offer alot of support and actually made my ankles and feet hurt. I'm not giving up on finding a Brooks shoe that's a perfect for me, but this one isn't it. These will be returned tomorrow.

I was thrilled to see the Ghost 13 line finally arrive until I saw there were only 2 dark drab color choices. I would have ordered several pairs of the new Launch 7 with its wonderful color combinations, but unfortunately the toebox is too small for me, so I always end up with the Ghost shoes which are supremely comfortable but get less stylish every year.
