Generally, a slightly overpronated foot type in comparison to a neutral foot type will have a flatter arch which splays out through the midstance phase.
We're very selective when we do that because we need to make sure that that runner can tolerate a little bit wider range of movement and maybe change the velocity of movement through their pronation cycle going through their gait.
#BROOKS GHOST 13 WOMENS SERIES#
That being the case, like some stable neutral shoes out there we have successfully put in mildly overpronated foot types inside of this series of shoe. When the foot comes down on heel strike to midstance, the pressure sits on the outside as you get ready to toe-off out of your gait cycle. When we're looking at a neutral or under pronated (supinated) foot type, generally the pressure is on the outside or the lateral border of the foot. The navicular pitches up a little bit and when you sit on a flat surface there's a little bit of space between the ground and the arch. In theory we're looking at a foot type that has a slightly higher arch. This is a neutral shoe so on the medial side there's no additional arch support or dynamic support system that comes into play. Runner Profileįirst things first, I want to profile the foot type that could consider this shoe. We’ll cover whether you can add this to your shoe rotation for long distance running or your shorter, quicker tempo or interval runs. We're going to profile the runner that can consider this shoe and their foot type. Like all my reviews we start from the ground and work our way up so I'm going to talk all things outsole, midsole and upper. There’s been a couple of different changes in this shoe from where it's come from with the Brooks Ghost 12 which we’ll get into in today's review. Hey guys, Josh here from Sportitude and today it’s shoe review time and we’re doing it on the Brooks Ghost 13, a very popular running shoe for the Brooks family.

No matter how your foot strikes the pavement, you get the full-length cushioning and protection you need to run the extra mile.Īn Engineered Air Mesh upper wraps your foot in a blend of breathability and strength, security and freedom. What was traditionally a road shoe engineered for heel strikers has been upgraded to meet the demands of heel strikers, midfoot strikers and forefoot runners by extending the DNA Loft cushioning from heel to forefoot. The midsole is where the Brooks Ghost 13 shines and where your customer feedback really comes into play. The Ghost 13 runs softer than the Ghost 12, so Brooks have increased the rubber placement beneath the midfoot to balance out that plushness with a touch extra stability. These slight modifications ensure the outsole and plusher midsole work in harmony, transforming hard road surfaces into your personal runway.Josh reviews and compares the neutral Brooks Ghost 13 running shoes with the Brooks Ghost 12, pointing out the similarities that stay true to what loyal fans love about this popular running family as well as the updates that put it ahead of the pack.īeing a lighter road shoe in the Brooks high mileage category, it’s a versatile ride for clocking up the Ks as well as lacing up for those quicker tempo runs when you’re seeking a change of pace.Īlike the previous model, the outsole features strategic zones of harder wearing and softer rubber, protecting the heel strike zone without compromise to the springy sensation on toe-off. Additional rubber underneath the midfoot improves stability to cater to this softer platform. Whereas the previous version isolated the cushioning to the heel to cater primarily to heel strikers, the full-length DNA Loft cushioning of the Ghost 13 provides a cloud-like sensation on impact no matter how your foot strikes the pavement. Offering lightweight protection for neutral runners, it sets you up with an engineered Air Mesh upper for a plush, locked-in fit to breeze through your runs. The Brooks Ghost 13 women’s running shoes are the next evolution of this popular running shoe family and are a win-win for loyal Ghost fans – staying true to the strength and breathability of previous generations, yet on a softer platform. This product is part of the limited edition Brooks Splash Pack.
