Love the G17

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic running shoes, high performing, comfortable and doesn’t rub anywhere on my toes. The Ghost 17 makes the miles fly by.

You Guys Doing Something Different?

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

The wide fit is perfect as always, but I find the 17 to be less supportive. I’ve been wearing Ghost for 8 years so I know what I’m talking about. Even the latest pair of Ghost Max does not feel like the supportive cushion it used to. Something changed sadly.

Size issues

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have trouble with size. 11 to long and 10.5 to small. 10.5 D does me best. The mens 9 was a good fit. I like the shoe. When walk it has a hard sole not so flexible. WhichbI like this. Gives better support. Wish more colors in the 10.5 D.

Worst Ghost I’ve Worn

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing the Ghost model since 10, and this is the worst fit of them all. The shoe has progressively gotten narrower. And what I used to love was the wide toe box and almost straight last (the line from mid-heel to toes) instead of curved. The toe box is so narrow that it’s uncomfortable now and the increased curvature in the last is less accommodating for my foot. The shoe still has good cushioning, so that’s a positive. I see that the ratings for the Ghost have steadily declined over the years, making me wonder if Brooks even looks at this feedback. I hope they reverse direction on these style changes. Colors don’t matter if the shoe is uncomfortable.

Weird fit

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I have regularly bought Ghost shoes and wear them with no break-in period required. These had an odd fit that I can't quite describe except that for me the toe was longer than usual for my size 11s. I had to check the box and inside the shoe to make sure I had the correct size, it was just weird. They also didn't have that familiar comfortable fit. The quality was off from what I had come to expect from Brooks. Hoping this isn't a trend because Brooks is all I wear!

Not Same As Earlier Ghost 17

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have these in 8.5 wide in black/white, ordered not that long ago. Love them. Super comfortable. These should be the same in a different color way but they are not. Fit is much narrower and tighter. Wanted to love them but they are going back.

Very Uncomfortable

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

This shoe is very uncomfortable from the minute I put it on. They are very stiff and tight! I have had 2 pair of the Ghost (15 & 16) and they were comfortable the minute I put them on. I purchased these because my past experience was great. These are terrible! I will be returning them.

It’s just ok

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not as immediately comfortable as previous versions because the insole is hard and the toe box slightly more narrow. But, I’m buying my second pair to keep indoors. Ghost has more cushion than the Glycerin and Adrenaline. I need the support for my heel and ankles. Stop messing with success please - especially the GTX which was so tight and painful I was afraid to wear it just to walk.

Go wide

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a wide tho normally I don’t & im glad I did. The fit is good with wide. The shoes are a bit stiff and I don’t like the orange toe but they’re great for gym workouts. Very stable.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the shoe. It fits lengthwise, but in a toe box area it’s narrow for my feet. I’m probably gonna send them back, but I’m wearing them right now to see if they will kind of stretch out in the toe area.

Happy overall

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

They feel good everywhere except the toes box. I would prefer a wider shape like my toes. Not wider in the heel midsole. I will wear them longer and see if it will continue to be my shoe of choice as it has been for many years.

Outstanding Running Shoe - Tried & True!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Strongly recommend!!! Great for both road and trail distance running. I’ve been wearing Ghost for long distance (mainly road, but some trail) running for over a decade and love this running shoe!!! Ghost 17 is tried and true, and continues to live up to my expectations and standards. Provides just the right amount of cushion without too much. Fits true to size for good running shoes - always go one size larger than your normal everyday shoe size to allow for movement and flexibility.

So good and versatile!!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought these for my mom!! She LOVES them! She loves the color and fit! I personally LOVE the Glycerin's but she enjoys a more sleek shoe and these are perfect for her. They aren't quite as bulky, but have plenty of comfort. For reference, she wears a 7.5 in heels/flats, and an 8 is perfect for a little extra wiggle room for her.

Bummed they didn'tw ork

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had several Brooks Ghost in the past and thought it was an easy, safe bet that these would work too. Unfortunately, one foot the tongue was off and hurt and the other the ankle area was. I was bummed I had to return them and back to searching for that overall shoe.
