Best shoes, hands down!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing Ghosts since 14 and have never looked back. Each new iteration that comes out is even more comfortable that the one beforehand. On the 16s and 17s, I have purchased 2 pairs knowing that I would wear them out if I didn't.

Ghost 17

My son's favorite shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my son's favorite shoe. I have let him try all my running shoes- Brooks Ghost Max 3, Adrenalin GTS 23/24/24GTX, Glycerin GTS 22(returned), Asics Kayano 32, Puma ForeverRun Nitro 2, Hoka Bondi 9 and On Cloud 6. He currently has his Ghost 17, Adrenalin GTS 23 and 24, New Balance 860, Hoka Clifton 10, and On Cloud 6. I asked him what his favorite shoe is because he's had his Adrenalin 24's for about 8 months already. By far his favorite out of all these shoes is the Ghost 17. He loves the comfortable upper, the cushioning, the fit, and the way they look. I ordered another pair in Black/Grey/White so he can wear it to school (his current Ghost 17 are his church shoes in the oyster mushroom/orange/ebony).

Great Shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t run in a Brooks ghost since the seventh generation, so I didn’t know what to expect. This is one of the best running shoes I’ve ever run in.!

Non runner

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear for walking and gym workouts. Comfortable.. I believe they are a little tighter width wise then the 16 and possibly a lil more stiff in the cushion overall I do like them but I believe I might like the 16s better have to give it a little more time to break some more

Love the ghost series but the 17 is a little too tight

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the style and color but the shoe was bit tight, the toe box had enough room but the heel portion of the shoe was tight.

Fast like a ghost.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Speedy. Feels like I’m a ghost. Great neutral, responsive, and durable for high milage. These are currently my indoor treadmill shoes for the winter, before they become my outdoor spring running shoes. I’ve been running in Ghosts since the 10’s(?) and see no reason to change with the current version.

Great shoes for treadmill running!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect shoes for treadmill running—lightweight, well-cushioned, and very comfortable. Great grip, good support, and breathable even during long workouts.

Unimpressed and disappointed

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

These don’t compare to the originals. There is no support around your ankle anymore. Super low for some reason. I will have to return them and find another brand totally. I’ve tried all the new styles and they just aren’t it. Not for people who have issues with support or just in general.

Excellent running shoes great quality and super comfortable. Good investment

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent running shoe my son chose for his bday gift. He finds them excellent quality and comfort. My stepson also purchased a pair as did his friend. They are all runners and find the shoes excellent and excellent quality. Definitely worth the investment

Ghost 17 Great Everyday Shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe, third pair in this size and color. Fit is good and stability exceptional. Not using as a runner anymore, just everyday walking.

The new changes in the heal are a deal breaker for me

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had and love every model of Ghosts since the 11. The change in the heal of the 17 is too much for me. They felt horrible. I only ran a 5k in them, but I couldn't do it. I ended up going with the Glycerin 23, which I love! I just don't understand why such a drastic change was made to a long time shoe.

More Foam, less heel security

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a brooks ghost runner for years now through many iterations. 17 fits different. More foam and more bounce. Fit issues with more shallow heel- my specific heel sliding around the shoe with normal use despite using the heel ties. Not a fan! I don't feel secure during my runs unless I have the extra heel knots tied very tight. Additionally, all this extra foam, the foam soles have worn .5" already along the back edges.

Best support of any athletic shoe I've purchased.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Due to both knees bad (7 surgeries).. the Ghost model gives the most support of any athletic shoe I've worn. This opinion goes back to the Ghost 13.

Walker not a runner

Finally Comfortable Shoes for Plantar Fascia Pain

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I struggled for a long time with my old shoes. They were uncomfortable, offered little support, and made my plantar fascia pain worse, especially after long days on my feet. Since switching to these new shoes, the difference has been huge. They feel supportive and cushioned in all the right places, and my feet feel noticeably better by the end of the day. I have had far less heel and arch pain, and walking feels comfortable again. If you deal with plantar fascia issues and need better support, these shoes are definitely worth it.

Love Ghost 17’s !

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another neat Ghost 17 style!! Looks sporty & color combinations look great together. I prefer some of the men’s colors vs. Women’s, so I order equivalent size (M8.0 med./ W9.5 med.)
