Brooks Men's Ghost 13 Running Shoe

Product Information

S-257 Cushsole is a midsole compound used as an insole to deliver even more cushioning and flexibility. I love the fit and shape of the Ghost. The toe box is perfectly roomy while the midfoot and heel offer a secure, dialed-in fit,” says one reviewer. “The extra eyelets add adjustability, and the shoe has an overall cozy feel.” DNA Loft was present in the heel of the Ghost 12. Now, as previously mentioned, in the Ghost 13, you get more of that cushioning – Brooks extended it from the heel to the forefoot. Because of this, many testers found it softer than the 12. It wasn’t super obvious to me (both shoes feel plush and soft), but there is a tinge more softness in the 13. There’s nothing wrong with a Margherita: it’s a proven flavour combination and it goes down well. You won’t get a funky-tasting processed sausage or cheap, frozen seafood on your Margherita.

Not particularly memorable,”“[just a] safe choice,”“Brooks plays it safe with this one” - this is how experts find the 13th iteration of the Brooks Ghost. When compared to other daily trainers, experts just agree that “it’s not [their] favorite.” A gripe that the majority of the experts share is that the Ghost 13 “lags behind in responsiveness.” They agree that it’s simply not "it" for those who want to go fast. Smooth and stable ride When I put the Ghost 14 on my feet for the first time, it felt luxurious and slipper-like. The upper felt less puffy and more streamlined than the Ghost 13. If you have narrow feet, avoid the Ghost 13. Instead, you can consider the Brooks Levitate 4 which has a snugger fit. The Ghost 14 gets brand new flat laces which replace the old oval laces. I find that the flat laces distribute pressure more evenly and they make the entire lacing area flatter and more performance oriented.BioMoGo DNA fuses BioMoGo midsole and DNA cushioning technology for a fully custom responsive ride that adapts to the needs of each and every runner, updated with a two piece construction to enhance a smooth, flexible ride. It puts my feet on a steeper downward ramp and I feel like it helps me through transitions more than shoes with a less aggressive drop. In fact the two versions are so similar that when I did an A/B test run with one version on each foot at the same time, I really had to concentrate to notice a difference in ride. I wear out Ghost 13 in about 4 months for walking 2.5/miles daily; wearing out 4 pairs (Size 8 Narrow) for sure. Honestly, these shoes are far better than the Pegasus’ I was using before. Those things killed my feet but I feel great after my runs in the Ghost 14’s.

It has generous foam padding in the tongue, heel tab and collar which pillow your feet. The Ghost really is hands down the most comfortable of all the daily trainers.Thank you for leaving your review and your experience here – I love it when we get more points of view than just our own! The majority of experts agree that the shoe highlights comfort above all. They find it “exceptionally comfortable” and a model that’s “all about comfort.”
