Brooks Men's Ghost 13 Running Shoe

Product Information

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. Smooth transition: DNA LOFT now extends beyond the heel, all the way to the forefoot, for an easy transition from landing to toe-off.

Plush fit: The new Engineered Air Mesh upper hugs the foot for a secure – but still breathable – fit. Delivery timescales are based on working days; Public Holidays, Saturday's and Sunday's are NOT classed as working days. You don’t even notice the new full-length DNA Loft part of the Ghost 13 when running and the midsole is co-moulded so there are no seams or gaps where the two foams meet.

They describe the midsole as “far more luxurious” than other mid-range daily runners and the upper as “very soft.” I felt like my foot was really secure without being restricted,” he says. “I thought it was going to be too narrow at first, but it loosened up within the first few steps.”

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.The midsole of the Ghost 13 is a dual foam setup of DNA Loft on the lateral side and BioMogo on the medial side. The two foams are very similar in density so the ride is still very balanced and stable. Its tongue is not gusseted but no tongue slide occurs thanks to its wide wings which hold it in place.

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. If you have narrow feet, avoid the Ghost 13. Instead, you can consider the Brooks Levitate 4 which has a snugger fit. Most of the daily trainers have received sweeping updates which have improved them drastically and are all worthy upgrades of their predecessors. 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.Brooks’ Ghost 13 marketing pitch is “the perfect blend of softness and responsiveness”. I agree with the softness part but not with the responsiveness part. 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.
