This is one of my many Brooks purchases. I work on my feet in hospital floors and this one is a winner. After my shift toes and soles are happy. Compared to the glycerin and levitate these feel wider in the toe box. Probably the same amount of support overall.

I loved these shoes, but for some reason the left one (on 3 different pairs) had a popping feeling under my toes. Almost like bubble wrap popping. Maybe it is a manufacturing issue since it was more than one pair and only the left foot. Other than that they would have been great.

The size and comfort are perfect. I struggle with finding shoes that allow me to walk a lot without causing foot pain. I walked in these for seven hours with just two small breaks and had very minimal foot pain. I’m going to have to get a second pair for vacation walking.

I LOVE these shoes. I have had many previous models of the Ghost and have two pairs of the 13. I don't even consider buying another style of running shoe.

I've been wearing these shoes for several years. Quality is always good, sizing doesn't change, accommodates an insert, and wears well. I replace them at least every 6 months. I'm a walker, not a runner, but love the stability, comfort, fit, and wearability of these shoes. Wear a narrow, but always get the medium for the wide toe box. Wear an 8 1/2 to 9 shoe, but always size up to 9 1/2 in these. Bought the Ghost 13. Will buy again, and again, and again......

I ordered a running shoe size 10. Should have order 10.5. Tried them on thread mill one time and knew I screwed up. My stupidity. Felt bad but called Zappos. They could not have been more accommodating. No return or shipping charge for the replacement 10.5 shoes. Can’t give higher praise. Great company.

These were great for road and trail runs. I’m a 7.5W foot ant bought the 8M and they were perfect. This is my first try in Brooks after years in Saucony. Beautifully made shoes and I love the pink soles.

BEST COMFORT EVER!!!! I have been seeking true comfort for years. I have a wide width and high arch. My heel and top of my foot are often sore after a couple of hours of running errands. I had been reading reviews while looking for a comfortable sneaker that I could use on an upcoming vacation. I knew I would be doing a lot of walking and needed to try to find a sneaker that would provide some support and comfort. I ordered the “Brooks Ghost 13” last minute and packed them without giving them a test drive. I wore them when I arrived and couldn’t believe how wonderful they were. We literally walked on average 10 miles a day- something I never would have been able to do before because of foot pain. I can honestly say I had no discomfort!! I expected the usual severe aches in my heels, arches and top of foot. This is the first time in many years I enjoyed walking and was able to focus on all the sites without the distraction of discomfort. They do run a bit wider than the usual wide width which was perfect for me. I usually find a wide a bit tight and the extra wide with a bit too much room, these fit perfect for me so thats something to keep in mind if you plan on ordering a pair. I will definitely be purchasing more of these sneakers!!!!! Definitely recommend!!!!!

I have worn Brooks for years and was replacing this style for the 4th year in a row because I wear them all the time. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I had foot surgery last year and went to a wide. I thought I could go back to a regular width but my toe says no! It isn’t the shoe. I just reordered a wide. Thinking about ordering in another color as well!

Shoe is truly neutral and heel is completely cradled. I have been wearing minimalist athletic shoes for awhile and I forgot how much I love Brooks!

I do not run but do a lot of walking up and down hills. I was looking for a very solid neutral shoe with very good cushioning in the forefoot and collar. I have a narrow foot and the narrow fit very well but toe box still a bit bigger than desired. In the past I was wearing Nike, then NB for last 3 years and now have changed to Brooks since NB modified the fit of the shoe I was wearing (NB 880 v10). (The 880 NB v11 has a larger toe box). I have also found this Brooks shoe to run almost a whole size smaller than my previous shoes. The Ghost 13 has a larger toe box than I wanted but it is acceptable. The shoe feels very structured, firm but comfortable cushioning in the forefoot, good cushioning around the collar and is lightweight. I had hoped to find a bit less of a shoe, not so much of a bulk and not so wide of a sole but when I tried a less advanced/aggressive model such as the Brooks Revel the structure of the material/shoe allowed the material along the forefoot to expand and buckle when walking. For my taste the Revel was a nicer looking, less bulky shoe but did not offer the structural support which I desired.

I sized up 1/2 size after reading reviews and they fit perfect. I got them for clinical rotations since I stand all day and they are so comfortable. This is my first pair of brooks but won't be my last.

Really like this Model since the latest Glycerine's are kind of awful and smaller.

Tried Brooks Ghost 13 in size 7.5 M, found width too narrow for my foot. Unable to order is a wider width. The cushioning of the shoe felt great but just not wide enough. Sadly had to return them.

The size was perfect. I have knee trouble and ankle arthritis so I was hoping they would have more cushioning but they are fine for what I purchased them for- walking and every day use. I wanted a black sneaker. The black looks more like a deep navy but I like the style. I own 4 pairs of Brooks. I would have to say my favorite for the most comfort are my Glycerine 18. Worth every penny.

I own some Ryka which are wider in the toe section for a roomier fit.

I have wide feet and am pretty picky about running shoes. These Brooks are very comfortable, but feel a bit on the clunky side. They’re not made to be sleek/zippy, but compared with other shoes in my rotation that offer similar cushion, I can’t say these are anything exceptional. However, I would consider buying these again. They seem like an “old faithful” pair of shoes- comfortable, but no frills and a bit old fashioned and clunky.

Brooks Narrow is not narrow in the heel, it slips and cannot run or even walk.
I style is so poorly made, there are very few shoes that I can buy, sorry but must return.
