How it ranks
The Brooks Ghost 13 ranks among the stronger daily trainers in our data. Durability and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 13 runner reviews and 13 other rated shoes in the Ghost product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

I got these shoes for my track and field season but ended up using them into my next cross country season because they held up for me very well.

Love the Brooks Ghost.. I have been the least injured in them. That said I have not been a huge fan of the colors ( I know they have lots and maybe I'm being picky). I had a blue pair that was pretty nicely colored. I was hoping for a good green pair like the Launch.
