Brooks Men's Ghost 13 Running Shoe

Product Information

Looking for a smoother way to run? The new Brooks Ghost 13 road-running shoe offers super smooth transitions plus soft cushioning so your run is the only thing on your mind. One thing testers loved about the Ghost 13 is its ability to blend into a run. The Ghost isn’t heavy or bulky; it isn’t turbocharged with carbon-fiber or reduced to its absolute minimum weight. If you have narrow feet, avoid the Ghost 13. Instead, you can consider the Brooks Levitate 4 which has a snugger fit. There are three wide flex grooves which span the entire width of the shoe underneath the forefoot which results in a very flexible Ghost 13.

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. This ended up being the wrong decision. I could feel my feet swimming in the roomy upper of Ghost 13. All are in agreement that the flex grooves of the Brooks Ghost 13 provides “flexibility in perfect areas to match foot motions.” This allows for smoother foot movement and promotes the natural bend of the foot. 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 toe box of the Ghost 13 is spacious and there is plenty of room for your feet to splay. There is also an internal toe stiffener for structure and support in the toe area.The Ghost 13 felt softer right when I stepped in,” one Fleet Feet tester says. “But it’s still super smooth and easy going on the run. Classic Ghost.” Smooth transition: DNA LOFT now extends beyond the heel, all the way to the forefoot, for an easy transition from landing to toe-off. Delivery timescales are based on working days; Public Holidays, Saturday's and Sunday's are NOT classed as working days. I like the Ghost 13 most for easy-paced runs between 10 and 25 kilometres but its midsole is not overly soft so it can handle the occasional tempo outing although its substantial weight might be a problem.

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 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. Rearfoot DNA cushioning gel is a highly viscous liquid that changes to become more or less firm in response to each individual's weight, pace, biomechanics, and running environment. Omega Flex Grooves have been deepened to enhance midsole flexibility without compromising cushioning. Designers extended the DNA Loft foam out from the heel, through the midfoot and into the forefoot where it partially overlaps with the BioMoGo DNA. The heel-to-toe DNA Loft gives the Ghost 13 a consistently soft feel all the way through the transition.

When I choose a daily trainer for my shoe rotation, it has to have a plush, comfortable upper, a midsole cushioned enough for distances up to 25 kilometres and an outsole capable of lasting over 800 kilometres. Your everyday training shoes have to be comfortable because you’ll be wearing them for the majority of your miles. So, Brooks built the Ghost 13 for all-day (and all-run) comfort. My first run was on a cold winter morning and I could feel the icy wind on my feet so it’s definitely airy and breathable. My first run in Ghost 13 was one of familiarity. The Ghost personality came through strongly even in my first couple of metres in them.
