Brooks Men's Ghost 13 Running Shoe

Product Information

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. Its EVA midsole will lose cushioning over time while its outsole rubber wears down faster than super hard-wearing rubber like the BRS 1000 found on the Pegasus 37 or AHAR+ on the Cumulus 22.

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. All applicable customs and import duties and any other charges are the responsibility of the customer. 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.You’re searching for light and fast shoe. In this case, the Nike Zoom Fly 3 and the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v10 are among the most expert-recommended alternatives. 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. This strategy is so effective because Ghost loyalists can ease into the new model while still recognising older technologies from previous models. Caterpillar Crash Pad is a segmented crash pad that flexes with the foot, offering customized cushioning and stability for a smooth heel-to-toe transition.

Its tongue is not gusseted but no tongue slide occurs thanks to its wide wings which hold it in place. Not particularly memorable,”“[just a] safe choice,”“Brooks plays it safe with this one” - this is how experts find the 13th iteration of the Brooks Ghost. When compared to other daily trainers, experts just agree that “it’s not [their] favorite.”

Out of the big five daily trainers which consists of the Pegasus, Cumulus, Ghost, Ride and 880, the Ghost 13 was the last to be released in 2020.

The big change this year is the extended DNA Loft foam in the midsole. In the Ghost 12, Brooks contained the softer DNA Loft mostly to the heel, with a slight extension into the midfoot. This year’s model takes that extension farther into the forefoot. The majority of experts agree that the shoe highlights comfort above all. They find it “exceptionally comfortable” and a model that’s “all about comfort.” If you want a super exciting, fun ride, don’t get the Ghost 13. If you want a consistent, stable ride, you should consider getting the Ghost 13.Delivery timescales are esimates in working days; Public Holidays, Saturday's and Sunday's are NOT classed as working days. 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.

A little bit of extra padding lines the heel collar for a plusher step-in feel, and a soft tongue is comfortable on top of your foot. Add to that a cushioned (and removable) insole, and the Ghost 13 feels plush all around. 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. The general consensus on the traction of the Brooks Ghost 13 is that it’s good both on wet and dry surfaces.DNA Loft foam is the softest cushion in Brooks’ lineup. It made its Ghost debut on the Ghost 11 and continued in the Brooks Ghost 12 where it was paired with a pad of firmer BioMoGo DNA foam in the forefoot. Should you upgrade? Only if you didn’t like the rigid underfoot feel in the 12 and wish it was wider and lighter. Comfort amplified in Brooks Ghost 13 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.” 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. This ended up being the wrong decision. I could feel my feet swimming in the roomy upper of Ghost 13.
