Ghost 17 GTX Running Trainers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the shoes. I have already run a 5k in them. They feel just like a regular pair of sneakers despite the fact that they are gore-tex. Size is expected and they medium width is perfect. I normally wear a size 9.5 and it’s the same in these shoes. Loved the fun color combo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe is great. It is definitely waterproof and very comfortable. I would buy this shoes again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feels great. Great for road walking. Good cusioning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable, supportive and waterproof. Great for Fall runs, but the black color lends itself to travel as well. Great shoe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes. I ordered a pair for both my husband and me four days before a 2 week trip to rainy Europe this month, hoping they would come in time. With Brooks' speedy shipping, they did! We walked all over a wet Germany and Amsterdam in them, and they did not disappoint. We love our Glycerins, but these were just as good. Based on other reviews, we sized up by a half size. They were perfect. We will be wearing them a lot this winter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are amazing. I broke my foot in 2 places 8 months ago and these are the first shoes that allow me to walk comfortably

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe and super comfortable. Fits true to size and seems to have more cushion than my regular Ghost running shoe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear these all day working in a shop on concrete. They are worth the money! I will be buying these again. Super comfy shoe saves my knees, hips, & lower back. If brooks made a shoe for mechanics this is it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in the medical profession and am on my feet all day long. These shoes are so comfortable, and sturdy at the same time. Also, Brooks has made the back end of the shoe at the top a little longer, and it makes for a good grip when putting these shoes on, and adds a little more stability to the shoe, as well. Overall, it's a well made shoe, and I will purchase it again.

Husband very pleased with this shoe. Comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used my new Ghost 17 GTX for a handful of runs ranging from 2-5 miles. Really enjoyed the fit and feel of these compared to some of my other running shoes. They almost feel like they’re propelling me forward a bit. True to size, very light. Great for casual running, and would think nice long runs. Hoping to get a few in coming up. I also wore them as a casual sneaker to a trip in the city, lots of walking, but comfort the whole day. My kid did manage to drop chocolate ice cream on them, and not as easy to clean off as I’d have hoped. White is a tough color to keep a running shoe clean though. Overall great shoe, would recommend to any of my running buddies.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Men’s Ghost 17 GTX fit exactly as expected—true to size with a super comfortable and supportive feel. I’ve worn them for a few runs and errands around town, and they’ve held up great with zero break-in needed. They feel stable but not stiff, which I really appreciate. Design-wise, they’re a nice step up from other Brooks shoes I’ve owned. I especially like the cleaner look with the “Brooks” text instead of the typical logo. The contrast in color makes it stand out just enough to catch the eye, but it’s subtle—not overly bold or in-your-face. The fabric feels high quality—soft and breathable in the right spots, but sturdy and structured where it matters. I tested the waterproof feature on a damp morning walk, and my feet stayed dry the whole time. My favorite feature is the rigid heel design. Instead of the usual heel tag, there’s a tougher piece that feels more durable and helps avoid the usual wear and tear at the back of the shoe. If I had to change something, I’d maybe add just a bit more arch support—but overall, I’m impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my first pair of Brooks shoes, and I am so very impressed with the comfort, air flow, traction, ease of slipping on or off, and the overall appearance of these Ghost 17 GTX's! I am not an avid runner if comparing to someone who competes in marathons, but I put in some miles of my own on various surfacs like concrete, dirt roads/gravel, grass, xc type trails and the shoes have performed very well on each. Traction isn't an issue that I've found, even on some damp conditions. Having used these on 90*F+ days, the air flow and ventilation is really good. Though, because of this if it rains you will have wet feet pretty quickly; always trade-offs. Not a knock, just the reality. I had injured my back and I have to say, keeping these tied was still easy to slip on/off while retaining a tight feel, and the heel pull tab really helped get the shoes on, it was nice while I was nursing my lower back! I would 100% buy another pair of these, no question.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Ghost 17 GTX. I primarily use them for work, where I am on my feet all day moving around on a concrete floor. They are extremely comfortable for this purpose. I also work in a wet environment, so I appreciate the grip and sturdiness of the shoes as I move about my workspace. On top of that, the GoreTex feature keeps my feet dry, as there is often water splashing on me. They feel 100% waterproof in this respect. As far as style, the dominant gray color works well for me and doesn't seem to show dirt or wear very easily. Overall, while these Ghost 17 GTX are billed as a running shoe, I find that they work very well for all-day wear in a work environment where comfort and dryness are essential.
