Love these shoes, but why does Brooks make the laces so short? It you lace up to the very top for support, you can hardly even tie the shoe. Otherwise these are amazing outdoor winter running shoes for my brutal NH winters. Thanks to Brooks and Zappos!

This is a perfect running shoe for me. The 9.5 size provides a good fit and the distribution of cushioning in the shoe is perfect for my stride. My foot hits in the heel region with max padding and smoothly rolls forward. These are the best running shoes for my particular running style that I've ever owned.

These shoes have saved my feet. I am on about my fifth pair of Ghost's. Get the new model every year. The Gor-tex means I can wear them here in the midwest all year long. Quality build, great support, long lasting. I actually use these as everyday shoes and they take all day wear and tear. Dinner out? I wear them. Going to the gym? I wear them. Working in the yard? Iwear my old pair!!

I’ve purchased maybe a dozen pair of Brooks shoes in the last 6 years or so but these are far and away the best so far. They are light yet sturdy and the fit is snug without being too tight. This shoe hits the nail on the head.

I have several pairs of the Brooks Ghost 13 GTX and they look fabulous. They are also very comfortable once you have found the right matching of high teck insoles

The GTX version of the Ghost 13 take a little while to break in due to the waterproof liner. Once broken in... just a nice and comfortable as the Non-GTX version.
My only issue, with Brooks in general, is that the soles do not last as long as the should for the money a consumer is spending.

I bought these shoes for my husband for Father's Day. He loves Brooks Running Shoes and I know he has the perfect gift!!
My husband used to wear another brand I won't mention but after wearing Brooks for the first time, he said he will never go back to that brand.

It is a very comfortable running/ walking tennis shoe. I bought for my boyfriend and he is in love with them, he said once he started using these shoes, his feet don't hurt anymore. I own a couple of pairs myself, the Ariel, and completely recommend those too, just buy them half a size bigger than your true size, I wear 8 and buy 8.5 for much better comfort. Best running/ walking work shoes I've ever owned. Worth every penny.

My regular size is 10D. That shoe was a little tight, so the customer rep I spoke suggested size 10-1/2D that size seems to be working fine.

Love these shoes. This is my fourth pair of Ghosts. I have trained for and ran in two half marathons with them and plan to again this year. Fit and comfort are great for those of us who run flat.

I have been wearing Brooks all my life; This one works really well and I am glad for the Gortex since early morning dew is always an issue when running.

I bought men's since I couldn't find women's wide. Usually a 9 in women's, the 7 1/2 in men's was a little snug in toes but the 8 is perfect. These are a game changer in wet grass or rain. I'm a dog walker...gortex is the way. I use my superfeet insoles inside and they are my favorite shoes!

The goretex works as expected. It's my dedicated work shoes at the hospital. My back pain has tremendously been reduced. Plus the goretex works. I've had fluids splash on me and my feet socks stayed dry

Almost forgot I was wearing them. Great support and comfort. Surprisingly lightweight. Noticeable amount more of airflow on the top than other shoes. Shoe feels stable

This is my favorite shoe in a long time. The Ghost 12 was disappointing for me as it didn't have the perfect fit I'm used to in the last five versions. Additionally in the past the GTX has required going up a size vs. the regular Ghost. I have the 13 in both GTX and regular versions and they both fit perfectly as expected. I hugely appreciate that the Ghost GTX 13 is actually an attractive shoe to wear, doesn't have white outsoles that turn brown immediately (white is a terrible color for a running shoe am I right?). Ghost has not always been the most durable sole, specifically seen delaminating where the rubber literally meets the road. No issues observed with this version so far. Comfortable for a long walk and stable when locked in.
