You feel like your foot is being enveloped in pillows, but the ride is still sturdy, and the shoe has significant structure throughout the upper, the midsole and outsole to support longer distances. The three wide flex grooves span the entire bottom resulting in extra flexibility and we found the outsole material to be grippy even on wet roads or light off road conditions.

It’s also the most stable of the bunch but it falls behind the pack in midsole and outsole durability.If they make it too soft it gets too close to the Glycerin model, since both those shoes have a midsole made completely out of DNA Loft foam. The Brooks Ghost, known for its plush comfort is a daily neutral trainer for new and experienced runners. In August 2023, Dark Castle Entertainment announced that they're planning to make a Thirteen Ghosts series. In the end I ended up sending both the 13 and the 14 back, which is unfortunate because the shoes are really comfortable, for running as well as walking and hiking, they just aren’t very durable.

Bobby sees several of the ghosts, including the Withered Lover – his mother Jean, who had died of injuries sustained in a house fire. With a new Plush, secure fit: The new Engineered Air Mesh upper hugs the foot for a secure fit while also delivering breathability. The general (online) consensus about the Brooks Ghost 13 points at a true-to-size fit with little to no changes over the Ghost 12.Brooks say: "The Ghost 13 offers our smoothest ride yet with super soft DNA LOFT cushioning extended beyond the heel, all the way to the forefoot.

Starting with the GTX 13, I noticed that the heel was not reinforced like it had been previously and like it still is with the regular Ghost 13. The foam in the midsole increases shock absorption upon landing which makes this a great shoe for daily training and longer runs – less stress on the body. A silhouette that stands out for offering an excellent feeling of softness in running, thanks to the implementation of the star cushioning system of the firm; the DNA Loft cushioning.For example, a standard width in a men’s shoe is a D width but the 2E width will be wider around the bridge and forefoot allowing the foot more room and therefore not creating friction that leads to the upper splitting and not supporting the foot correctly. The extension of the DNA Loft cushioning to the forefoot in the Ghost 13 allows for a smoother transition which makes this shoe a great choice for any runner no matter their foot strike pattern.

The Brooks Ghost 13 Men’s Running Shoe continues to have the winning combination of BioMoGo DNA and DNA LOFT cushioning that works together to offer you the right amount underfoot, including the heel through to the forefoot without losing any responsiveness or durability. We only use the information we collect about you lawfully, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. DNA LOFT cushioning now extends throughout the midsole for an even smoother transition from heel to toe.The mesh actively and efficiently wicks away the build-up of excess sweat and moisture to leave you feeling cool, dry and comfortable as you strive for the best results and performance. The Glycerin 19, on the other hand, is a more supportive, cushioned, and plusher version of the Ghost. I hope that Brooks transitions to their new DNA Flash foam which is lighter and much more responsive.
