Great looking shoe and felt like a great fit right away. I tried the narrow version but needed more space in the toe box. Thanks for having a size 13 in Women's!

I have a pair of Ghost 10s that are my favorite shoes. These Ghost 13s are a poor imitation. They are extremely cushioned and have a very wide heel base that flares out and presents a tripping hazard. Not the shoe I wanted or expected. Don’t buy these if you are upgrading an old pair of Ghosts; they are absolutely not the same shoe.

I usually wear size 6 shoes and ordered size 6, but it was too small for me - there was not enough room in the toe box.

These are very lightweight and excellent as soon as I put them on. Ghost is my new favorite Brooks. Brooks Brand is all I can wear. Thank you!

I am an elementary teacher, and we are on our feet a lot. I walk in the morning for exercise, and was looking for a shoe that would provide cushion and support, but also go the distance (so my feet would not hurt at the end of the day). My feet are narrow, so finding a shoe to cover all those bases was asking a lot. The Ghost 13 is perfect! They are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes I have ever walked/taught in. Add in the Ghost Midweight Sock, and it's like walking on a cloud. I have one pair for walking, and one pair for walking around (work, errands, etc). I do wish that the Narrow widths had a few more "snazzy" color choices (blue/pink/purple/white, etc), rather than just grey or black. I'm a fan for life!

I am returning the Ghost 13 black shoes because they are too narrow in the toe box area. I previously ordered the light gray and they fit great. The toe box is totally different on the gray pair than the black. Very disappointing.

This purchase represents the third pair of these I have bought in the last year. I have never in my life had a pair of running shoes that kept me this comfortable . My only complaint about this shoe is that I keep increasing my mileage because I am not experiencing any serious discomfort in my hips and legs from running anymore. And I’m 45 so that is a major bonus! The whole interior is cushy and roomy. Plenty of space for my feet to expand and move around on hot days and hilly roads, but so soft on the inside I don’t end up with black toenails from my feet banging around on the inside of the shoe. Not super light, but also not of a weight where I really feel them on my feet. I have slender heels and fairly wide toes (like a duck) but my heels don’t slip and my toes aren’t crowded. I run on both the treadmill and the road and tend to run on my toes a little bit. As long as I wear socks with these, I never get a blister. Even on runs of 10k+. I usually wear a 9.5 in most running shoes but for these I ordered a 10.

I love these shoes. Once I put them on in the morning for my daily walk, 1-2 miles, I don’t want to take them off. I have the worst feet for shoes as they are long and super narrow. These shoes fit! Why did it take me so long to find them? I don’t know but now I know about them I’ll keep on buying them.

I've been doing Jazzercise classes for many many years and these are the absolute best shoes for class! I have pronating ankles and somewhat narrow feet. I hope they will last a long time but when necessary I hope Brooks is still making the Ghost 13!!!!! I have always had good luck with Brooks when it comes to shoes for Jazzercise!

These are my new running shoes! They are really comfortable and have a wide enough toe box for me (sometimes shoes rub against my toes and that bothers me). The only thing that's a little weird is that while the heel has a ton of cushioning, the ball of my foot doesn't feel very cushioned. It hasn't caused any issues, though.

Toe box Roomy, True to size unless you wear thick socks, then size up by 1/2 and get adhesive anti-heel slip foams if that's a problem. With the insole that comes with it, feels a tad springy to step or walk so that makes it comfy too. Cushioning, not squishy but adequate, certainly not hard. Great support, though my high arches wish for a little something extra in that department. The existing innersoles do have the high arch shape to them, but are just thin with no long-lasting or built up arch support. (I don't know why the ratings choice is either "no arch support" or "Moderate arch support" - I would have picked "low" if there was that.)

These are really comfortable right out of the box. Roomy in the toe area. I like the padding everywhere and yet they don't feel constricting or overbuilt in any way.

I'm a girthier woman who recently decided to start running again for fitness. Even with my fat girl shuffle, I'm a heel striker so I need good cushion in the heel. The ghost does that. I was running in the cascadia but my weight gain has made that hard and my ankles and knees were starting to do weird things. After two multi-mile shuffles in these, there was no joint pain and my feet weren't begging for relief. This is a good sneaker for pavement and track running. I wouldn't risk these on a trail or anything extreme. While my ankles felt fine and supported, they're not my hiit sneakers and I don't feel too secure in the shoes ability to take a hard pivot or stabilize the foot through an ankle roll. As usual, the brooks colorways leave a lot to be desired but they're cute enough and work with most of my run kits.

I love the look of these, but they are still tight on my feet after sizing up a half size. The toe box is so narrow that it causes hot spots while running. I don’t have flat feet, but the arch was still uncomfortably high. I’ll unfortunately be returning these.

These have a great flexible toe box, fits perfect if you suffer from bunions.

I typically wear an 8.5 wide and that's what I ordered - fit perfectly. Toe box is comfortable and my feet are plenty comfortable while walking. Also, I would agree with someone that said the color isn't necessarily lavender - more like a pale pink. But still a good looking shoe. My only complaint is that the material at the heel rubs weird and caused a blister. If the material were more cushioned and/or soft, it would help. I added a heel liner and that solved the issue, but for $110 shoes I think Brooks can do some better R&D on that.

They ate attractive comfortable shoes but I have a plate to wear under insole and if I put that in i then I have squeaky shoes so can not use it—they are comfy- the material is like what’s being used in all Brooks and after a cpl months of walking between 3-5 miles a day that material gets holes in toes—-my feet are both the same but the 9 had to be increased to 9.5 for my left foot

I love these shoes. They’ve been extremely comfortable during workouts and even hours of walking around NYC on many weekends. I normally wear a size 10, but I know how to pick out my Brooks, and I always get them a 1/2 size up.
