This is my second pair of Ghost 13s. I recently tried the new 14s, but the fit was too snug. I then tried several other neutral running shoes and was disappointed in the fit, so I came back to the 13s. The fit is perfect. They fit exactly how you would expect-true to size. I know a lot of people recommend going up 1 size in running shoes, but I only ever go up a half size in Ghosts. They are very comfortable with the right amount of cushion and support I need. About me, for what it's worth: I bought these shoes for treadmill runs. I run around 20 miles a week with one longer run weekly (8-10 miles) and several smaller runs of 3 or so miles. These are, without a doubt, my favorite running shoes.

They are not that comfortable when you work 12 hours a day.

Any review I make of a shoe is colored by fact that a shoe actually fits my narrow feet, and these running shoes fit very well! These shoes are completely comfortable with a big enough toe box, and narrow enough heel that there is no slipping. I didn't think I would like the all black but I actually like them as much as the grey ones I also ordered. The one thing I don't love about them is that, even though they are not a heavy shoe compared to others I tried, they still make my feet feel hot, and I would love to find a shoe that is lighter weight and more breathable. When I bought them, they were on sale for $109, and I'm sorry to see they're back to $129, which I think is a high price for running shoes. I also ordered the Ghost 14, but they are made differently and were not comfortable for me.

I love these shoes but the newest pair has broken down at the heel tab/collar on both left and right shoes. Before you assume that it happened because I jam my feet in them without loosening or untying them, I am a 71 year old grandmother who knows the value of a dollar. Also I’ve had many of the ghost versions over the years and this has never happened before.

Although not a runner, I've worn the Brooks Ghost for almost 10 years. I am a fitness instructor and prefer this shoe to a cross trainer. The last shoe I purchased was the Ghost 11. The 13 is slightly narrower in the toe box, but other than that, I don't see much difference. Great shoe!

order #113-4054813-5990647 from 8/23 never came. 9/1 Called replacement was sent, but wrong shoes were received (white pair of isotoner). I'm very upset with Zappos. I was supposed to get these Brooks for my upcoming vacation. Asking for refund now.

I loved the color and the these shoes but for an 8.5M they sure felt tight. I had to check the size thinking I was given a narrow instead. So I had to return them. Also, and this has never happened before, while the bottoms of the shoes were clean, they were clearly worn by someone. The inside back of the shoes had those little white sock balls from the shoe rubbing against your sock while wearing. That was a turn off. I don't want someone else's used shoes. I was surprised they couldn't clean that up before sending them to me. But I love Brooks Ghost and I bought another pair a 1/2 size larger.

I love my Ghost 12's and the Ghost 13's did not disappoint. I wear a 7 in a sandal but wear an 8 in Brooks. Perfect for working out, running, and just every day comfort.

I have been running in Brooks Ghost for about 3 years and they are usually wonderful. I think this was a lemon pair. I ran in them for 2 months and that is when the injuries started. Strained calf muscles which required a lot of physical therapy. I bought a new pair of Ghost 14 and they are perfectly fine. No issues, no pain, back to normal. I trust Brooks but this pair was interesting, definitely something to be conscious of.

These seemed like really good quality shoes, but they weren’t for me. There is a lot of puffy cushioning around the ankle that I found uncomfortable. I also tried on a pair of the ghost 14, and found them less bulky than the 13, so if you want something a little slimmer but still with a lot of cushion, maybe try the 14.

These are great sneakers. My normal show size is an 8 to 8.5. However I had bought these before and knew I needed to buy a larger size.

I usually wear a 9 wide but had to go to the 10 W for perfect fit. Very comfortable and cushy especially in the metatarsal area.

Initially I ordered same shoes, size 9.5 regular, and they were short. I exchange the shoes for half a size larger and voilá- these fit perfectly. I love these shoes and I truly love wearing them. I was a Hoka fan but not anymore!

I had the Ghost 12 and loved them. The Ghost 13 did not disappoint! They fit my feet perfectly. There is plenty of support, good cushion, especially on the heal. They run a tad on the narrow size, which works for my narrow foot. I usually order a narrow, but can get away with medium in these. I'm a 6.5 in most shoes but always size up to 7 in these. Plenty of toe room.

I've had issues with my second toes because of too-tight shoes. I was looking for 8.5s, but reviews informed me that Ghost 13 ran a little large. They are perfect, and I'm hoping my hideous traumatized toenails will begin to heal.

I love how light the Brooks Ghost 13 shoes are! I typically buy the Brooks Adrenaline which are equally as light and supportive but liked the Peacoat/Lilac/Raspberry color scheme so I am trying these. When buying Brooks, I always buy a 1/2 size up!

I usually wear an eight but they recommended I do a half size larger which I did and the fit was perfect.
The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever bought. Worth the money. I’m very pleased.

Excellent arch support, hugging feeling.
