The shoe is very comfortable - wish it hugged my heel area better but it fit true to size and is attractive in grey. Feel it gives me very good support and
as I am in my early 70's, I need the support for walking. I would buy this again.

I have terrible foot issues which causes me to have pain all the time when I walk. Although the pain is still there it is at least 85% better. Loved them so much for work I ordered a pair for home. Highly recommend them. I was skeptical when I heard people talk about them . They were not exaggerating! They are wonderful!

The Brooks Ghost is a classic tennis shoe that you can count on for both fit and comfort. I have been wearing this brand of shoe for years and have never had any issues. I really love the wide toe box and narrow heel! Great shoe!

Since my last Brooks purchase I’ve had a hard time finding my preferred style - Addiction. I tried Ghost13 out of desperation. Compared to Addiction, Ghost13 is like walking barefoot - at least a 90% reduction in support and I could feel every bit of gravel or sticks that I walked on. I found Addiction on The Brooks’ Amazon store and delivery will allegedly be by early October. Worth the wait now that I know the alternative. I hope they actually exist :-/

My walking shoes before this were Hoka Bondi 7's so these felt a bit like walking on bricks when I first put them on. The Hoka's look like your great grandmothers orthopedic shoes and make your feet look five times larger than they really are but they are like walking on air. The Brooks are much more attractive but you lose the cushy feeling of the Hoka's. I will wear the Hoka's at home and the Brook's when I leave the house. :-)

I love Brooks Ghost line for running on our treadmill. I ordered my normal size and a half size up because of reviews that this version (Ghost 13) runs small; I returned the large size because that was not the case.

True to my size (9M). This is my third pair of Brooks Ghost, and I am very pleased with them. I am a walker, not a runner. There is room in the toe box for "wiggle," and yet the heel is secure. My feet, knees, and hips feel very well supported. I also appreciate the availability of simple, neutral colors.

I think I just got a bad pair. This brand has been my go to for the last 10 years maybe. I love Brooks but this pair has an anomaly on the left shoe. It seems like there is extra material in the toe box area and it puckers when I walk and flicks my toe. I even have a slight bruise from the repeated action during just walking around.

Shoes made my shins hurt after one mile...not quite the running shoe needed. Look nice though.

Not crazy about the striped effect in person. I just want basic colors without extra "decoration." And what about beige/olive green/brown color- in a simple design? My favorites are no longer available.

First time trying Brooks, and so far, so good. I usually get Asics, my favorite, but the pair I picked in this order seemed too narrow in toe box, and the Brooks seemed just right. Both shoes are very similar. Needed the narrow width, but not too narrow in toe box. I use the shoes for walking, which I do every day for a good distance.
I'd also recommend:

i love these shoes. i have had a problem always with my feet after walking . I tried these shoes for the first time 3 months ago . My arches dont hurt nor my toes. I can walk 5 miles and my feet almost feel rested. I cant say enough how comfortable these are. so much so i just ordered a second pair. My only complaint is i have a bigger size foot and i need wides as well and its a very limited selection. I would love to have more choice

These shoes didn’t make it 2 months for my daughter working at Target. Yes, they are the correct size and she’s had two previous pairs of Ghost’s. The previous two pairs were for running about 12-15 miles per week…even with her orthotics. They were comfortable and perfect for walking about 8 miles a day at work. Unfortunately not worth $120 for two months wear.

Fit exactly as expected. Love this shoe! Material is so nice and breathable, yet durable. I'm an RN, and am on my feet all shift. This shoe offers excellent support for my feet!. I'm hooked on Brooks Ghost.

I am so disappointed to return this second pair of Brooks Ghost 13. I actually asked a Brooks guru about sizing because my Ghost 12 were 9.5 Medium (D) Europe Size 43which fit me perfect. I have worn a size 10 in all athletic shoes for years and never required a wide shoe width so this was weird. So when it came to replace I assumed that Ghost 13 would be my next shoe. Brooks told me to order the same size I had in the Ghost 12. Too small and had to return. Ordered half size up, my normal size 10 Medium (B) Europe Size 42 ????and it is also too small. Very disappointed in Brooks as I return this 2nd pair of shoes. Giving up and going back to New Balance. Thank goodness Zappos always makes it easy return.

New Balance, Nike, Saucony

I love Brooks shoes, but have to buy a 1/2 size larger than in any other shoe. Even so, I am a repeat customer. I wish they offered more choices in narrow width. I can never get the color I’d like; I just have to take whatever color is offered in a narrow. These are the only running/walking shoes that I find comfortable with the needed support. Well worth the price.

I am a long-distance runner and work in physical therapy. My day is filled with changing from one tennis shoe to the next. These are amazing!!! The all black allows me to wear at work while still getting the same comfort, mobility, and support as my runs. My favorite aspect is the wide and tall toe box! No black toe nails here. Highly recommend.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of our long-term relationship with Ghost, my first running love: Supportive, steady, easygoing (and easy on the eyes), Ghost and I traveled through long runs and short in all seasons for many years. With the advent of 12, something seemed amiss?both support and that easygoing stance were on the wane. Was it me? Was I simply aging? One fine night, I dug out an old 11 and flew in the way I was accustomed to us doing with my beloved. And so we limped along. But now, with 13, I feel nothing except emptiness where once there was passion. And so we commend our once-upon-a-time dear one to the return box, and hope they find a new love on the other side. tl;dr: Dangit.

If you had sent me the shoes that I ordered, I’d be happy to review them. Instead, you sent me a completely different color. I was very disappointed, since I waited months for the desired color to be available.

For the price I was expecting a very comfortable pair of shoes but these are not. I have bought 30 dollar shoes that were more comfortable.

I have high arches and this is my 5th pair of Ghosts given the mid-range support. They're super-comfortable.
I'm normally a size 6 and go up to 6.5 in these sneakers.

I snapped up these stylish Brooks, last pair in this color. I sized up half size as recommended by reviewers and they fit perfectly! I have been wanting to try the Ghost for years and got the opportunity with the sale price! I wore them for two 4 mile runs so far and they are amazing, everything I have been told by cross country coaches is true, these are fantastic.

The shoes are great but they arrived used :( black tread smudges on the white shoes that didn’t come from me... kind of disappointing. Overall Brooks is a great brand though.
