Unleash Your Running Potential with Brooks Men's Ghost 13 Running Shoe Review

I had the Ghost 11 men's size 12 which fit perfectly so I also ordered a size 12 with socks almost at the bottom of the shoe. A size 12 gave me some wiggle room on older versions of the Ghosts, but these are comfortable. I recommend getting half a size bigger than your old ones.

One size bigger - still narrow. correct length Feels less cushioned than my minimalist trail Altras. I just wanted cushioned road running shoes, and my thin-soled Nike running shoes were softer. They've also left me with blisters on the tips of my toes with $17/pair wool running socks designed for an ultra run of just 2 miles while my fingers rub the bottom of the sock. I can't return them as I walked in them. I'm embarrassed to give them to charity as they would be inconvenient. I'm 177 and…

With all the cushioning, they still feel great on any surface. I have to be a bit careful with my kick as I found my heel to hit a lot but it's very easy for me to…

I've had several pairs of Brooks over the years and never had a problem. Received my new Brooks Ghost and everything seemed fine but 6 hours into a 12 hour shift my legs started to hurt. Never before with new Brooks sneakers. Came home after a terrible day at work and compared my shoes to several other pairs. Everything seemed to fit, so I pulled out my old boxes to compare. My old boxes clearly state they were made in Vietnam, but the new shoe box had a label on it so you couldn't tell where…
