Brooks Men's Ghost 13 Running Shoe

Product Information

The battle of the daily trainers is now more fierce than ever before. It’s such an important battle because a big chunk of a company’s shoe sales come from their mid-tier daily trainers. The general consensus on the traction of the Brooks Ghost 13 is that it’s good both on wet and dry surfaces. This saying aptly applies to the Ghost 14 because it has a new upper, midsole and outsole yet it still rides the same as previous Ghosts. A plush bed of DNA Loft foam provides soft cushioning and smooth transitions. The DNA Loft works with a Segmented Crash Pad to provide flexibility to every toe off.

After 80 kilometers in the Ghost 14, I’ve noticed that outsole durability is however below average compared to other daily trainers so if you’re particularly hard on outsoles, stay away from the Ghost. If you have narrow feet, avoid the Ghost 13. Instead, you can consider the Brooks Levitate 4 which has a snugger fit.

They find it “exceptionally comfortable” and a model that’s “all about comfort.”

I’m normally in-between shoe sizes so I made the decision to go with the bigger size because Ghost uppers are so padded and plush. A daily trainer is arguably the most important shoe in a runner’s shoe rotation because the bulk of their running is done in them. Stability is great in the Ghost 13 and it remains one of the most stable neutral trainers money can buy.Experts who commented on weight are in sync when they say it’s heavy (10.1 oz). For reference, it’s also heavier than its competitors like the Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 (8.7 oz) and the Saucony Ride 13 (9.7 oz). Good grip on Ghost 13 Version 14 feels more versatile and more performance-oriented than version 13 because of its streamlined upper, snappier forefoot and its new full DNA Loft midsole. The tongue is still not gusseted so it slides laterally. The premium tongue gusset is only featured on the top of the range Glycerin.

Reliable cushioning built for your daily running needs, the Brooks Ghost 10 continues to offer a fantastic training experience on the roads. There’s a popular saying that goes something like, the more things change, the more they stay the same. The bestselling Brooks Ghost has been updated. We carry a full range of sizes and colorways in the new Brooks Ghost 15. My first run was an 11 km easy run and there were no big surprises. It felt like a typical Ghost: smooth, stable and consistent.

Brooks designers kept the snug, engineered mesh upper and dialed in the fit through the midfoot with a new lacing system.
