The toes were narrow, but otherwise the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I could walk all day with legs and feet not feeling tired.

I switched to Brooks Ghost about two years ago from Mizuno's Wave Riders when I couldn't get them anymore. I'm not a runner but a dedicated walker doing 10,000 steps a day and the Brooks shoes have really worked out. I wear my own arch support with the shoes and it fits perfectly. I'm really happy.

I am a Brooks Ghost fan, and have been for about a decade for my running-about 25 miles a week + wearing out and about, so about 40 miles a week. Love the cute colors on the shoes, and they always feel like a pillow when you put your feet in a brand new pair of shoes. Great for running. Downside? The cutest shoelaces in the world (I love the material and multi-colors) are 1) too short for the shoes. I don’t get enough lace to double knot the shoes. 2) these shoelaces do not stay tied! They come undone with every run, and that is atypical for my Brooks shoes! So I have to stop mid run to retire and attempt to double knot, but the laces are too short. Will continue to buy Brooks Ghost, but will be trying to check out the laces via pictures before buying. Also, felt the proper size for length of my foot, but for the top of my foot, it felt small, which is not something I typically encounter-but that also would match up with my comment on laces being too short.

Great shoe! The Ghost never dissappoints! I am a nurse and on my feet for over 12 hours, and these provide great cushion!

I have been wearing Ghost for a few years now, and LOVE them. They are always comfortable right out of the box. I have never needed a ?break in period?. Wore my newest Ghost 13 yesterday on a 5 mile run and they felt great. Over the years I have steadily been going up in size (starting at 9 1/2 and now an 11). This shoe feels true to size, over time I think I have learned what a proper running shoe fits like. ??

Light weight, a perfect balance between support and cushion. They are my favorite pair of sneakers now.

I wanted to like these, but they pinched my toes. I purchased a 1/2 size larger than normal. Why do manufacturers make running shoes with narrow toe boxes? Anyway, my knees ached after a sustained run. That never happened before. Had to send back.

Love these shoes. Very comfy and lightweight. The only problem I had was they run larger than normal. I usually wear a size 9, but had to exchange for a size 8, which fit perfectly.

I took a 3-1/2 mile walk the day my shoes arrived in the mail. They felt great and no sore spots when I finished my walk. I order a D width and that has been a game changer for me with my last two pairs of Ghosts. There was very limited color selection, but I'm still satisfied.

I really wanted to like these shoes! I bought the Ghost when I was looking for something as comfortable as my previous pairs of Brooks Glycerin as the newer Glycerins are not as cushioned as the older models. The Ghost feel pretty comfy but there is something odd about the foot bed that I can't figure out. Every time I wear these darn shoes something hurts! The first few times my calf and knee hurt after a run. I took a break from them, went back to Glycerins (everything was fine), came back to the Ghosts and the balls of my feet hurt. I'm done with the Ghost, not worth the pain and injury. I have no issues with the Glycerins, they just don't feel as squishy/cushioned as I'd like but at least I don't get injured with them.

I’m still trying to decide whether to return these shoes. As long as I order a full size larger than my normal shoe size, Brooks have always been a good fit. Unfortunately, with this model there is a thick layer of fabric seam where the tongue meets the rest of the shoe material. I wear a good quality running sock but after just three miles, my feet get sore right at the fabric junction. I’ve always worn Brooks and this is disappointing.

I have several pairs of Ghost 13. I never have to break them in, they are ready to go right out of the box. They have good arch support, and are so comfortable. I will be purchasing more colors.

Love the cushion that it gives. It helps for when I walk on concrete but I was hoping for a little more arch support since I have plantar fasciitis really bad. I love the front of the shoe where it's curved. Helps me walk better. Overall it's a good shoe if you're looking for comfortability.

Meh. Been wearing Ghosts a long time, the 11s will always have my heart. The 13 is somehow narrower in the toe box, to the point that I can feel the edge of the shoe on the outside edge of my big toes. It's not painful, but it is annoying! They also feel a tiny bit longer than past Ghosts of the same size. Other than that the shoes are comfy to run in, but why change the shape/sizing of the shoe? Makes no sense, Brooks!
