Brooks Men's Ghost 13 Running Shoe

Product Information

Most of the daily trainers have received sweeping updates which have improved them drastically and are all worthy upgrades of their predecessors. From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected. With a light feel and smooth ride, the Brooks Ghost 13 remains one of the best Brooks running shoes (and one of the best running shoes for beginners) you can find. I can’t emphasize this enough: this shoe is luxuriously plush. From the DNA Loft cushioning to the soft upper, this shoe is all about comfort. I felt it as soon as I stepped into the shoe and continued to notice it throughout my runs. It just feels great to run in. The Brooks Ghost 13 Versus the Brooks Ghost 12 The thinner mesh also makes the forefoot feel more spacious but it fits true to size. It’s available in 4 different men’s widths and 3 women’s widths if you need them.

The bestselling Brooks Ghost has been updated. We carry a full range of sizes and colorways in the new Brooks Ghost 15. The comfort delivered by the new midsole and upper of the Brooks Ghost 13 received nothing but praise from almost all experts. Many are fond of the instant step-in comfort of the shoe and its stretchy plush upper. Fleet Feet runners reviewed the Brooks Ghost 13 to see how the updated midsole changed the feel and to find out how well it lives up to the Ghost name. Here’s what they thought. OUR VERDICT The Ghost 14 is far from an exciting daily trainer but it's a dependable workhorse that has the perfect balance of long-distance cushioning and ride stability. It excels on long-distances and steady-paced runs. 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.Other than that, they are very similar to the previous Brooks Ghost 12. I haven’t tested the previous model so I cannot really compare them. But as far as I have seen their features, the only difference between them that I found was that they added more cushioning to the forefoot. And of course they changed the color scheme. If everything works well with the shoes, what else would you change then? There are a couple key differences between the Brooks Ghost 12 and Brooks Ghost 13 when you compare them side by side, but many of the essential elements haven’t changed. No matter the distance, the Brooks Ghost 10 is ready to provide reliable cushioning and comfort every step of the way. The biggest update is the change of mesh. It feels thinner, more breathable and gives the Ghost 14 a more streamlined feel but it’s still a warm upper that’s more suited to cooler climates.

Seriously, this shoe is so plush. Run tester, Sam, shares why the Ghost 13 is a great choice for everyone from beginner runners to seasoned runners.

The high-volume forefoot means that the standard width Ghost 13 is more suited to wide-footed runners who need extra room for their feet to splay. Another tester noted the generous amount of rubber on the outsole but still lauded the Ghost’s flexibility. 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. The Ghost offers a reliable, consistent ride. It’s soft, energetic, stable and responsive,” says one reviewer. On the outsole of the Ghost 13 are two different rubbers: harder wearing rubber in the heel and softer blown rubber in the forefoot.

The Brooks Ghost is one of the best-selling running shoes year after year because it delivers a straightforward neutral ride and generous fit. This year, Brooks updated the Brooks Ghost to feature their DNA Loft foam throughout the midsole so you can float through your next run.The upper in the 13 is more breathable and Brooks tweaked the outsole ever so slightly to make it more stable. The Brooks Ghost 13 Versus the Brooks Glycerin 18

This version of the Ghost felt like it wanted me to go faster than easy pace whereas previous versions felt sluggish and cumbersome.

Both models have very similar engineered mesh uppers. The designs and patterns changed a little bit from the 12 to the 13, but Fleet Feet testers didn’t notice any performance difference between the two. The mesh, which Brooks calls Air Mesh, is smooth and pliable with some printed overlays throughout the midfoot, and it has a touch of stretch to help accommodate different foot shapes. One Fleet Feet reviewer who has a wider forefoot says the Ghost fit him well. Its tongue is not gusseted but no tongue slide occurs thanks to its wide wings which hold it in place.
