Don't like the changes
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
I have worn the Ghost in the same size for years. The 17 was much longer and a little wider. This was too big for me. I also dislike the higher ankle collar. Is the Ghost becoming a Hoka copycat? I returned them. It's back to the running g store to try other brands and styles.

Uneven footing

Unfortunately they had to be returned. The right insole was uneven, causing discomfort when I ran. I’ve worn Ghosts for many years, and thankfully this is the only pair I had to return.

Excellent as expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great feel right out of the box as ususal. Love the new lace tips too. Overall, great underfoot cushioning to absorb impact from running on the roads, and perfect fit all around my feet. Brooks has very consistent sizing and widths which makes for easy online purchases. I'm hoping they realize that folks that need wides and extra wides like color too and not just black, grey, and white!

A little diffferent than "Ghosts of the Past"
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing Brooks Ghost since Ghost 13, so it has long been a favorite. While I like the looks of the Ghost 17, I did find that the toe box was a bit more constrictive than previous versions. The shoe is a bit loftier, as well, so I have to be careful to keep that in mind when I am walking.

This shoe has it all!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Responsive cushioning? Check. Supportive upper? Check. Looks? Check. This shoe has it all, including a narrow option for narrow feet. This one is a winner that makes it more fun to get moving!

Prior versions were preferred

Like the feel of the sole but the sides are too high and are irritating my ankle bone. It’s as if all the material is stitched and stiff there.

I liked them enough to buy another pair.
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I get more compliments regarding the colors of my Brooks which I like but my major compliment is the stability of the shoe. I don't run but do walk a lot and exercise in them. It keeps me steady on my feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Ghost 17. Like all my other pairs of Brooks, it fits perfectly and is comfortable and light. I was an avid runner for 35 years until I broke my leg 2 years ago-it's taken that long to rehab and I chose Ghost 17 as my first pair of running shoes to wear as I slowly start my way back to running. Thank you!

Always get compliments on the colors. Comfortable. Use at work walking several miles a day. Have had over a year and still comfortable.

So worth the buy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who doesn’t like too much cushion but knees require some these shoes are perfect! Pretty light and if you take care of them you’ll get plenty of runs with them! I have tried all the big names and these are the only ones I have found to be worth the hype!

It does the job
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoe so far isn’t bad. They don’t feel like you floating on clouds, but they did provide enough support after a 16 mile run. I definitely suggest to break them in for a few day before a long run. I made the mistake of not breaking them in enough and my knees and feet paid the price.

Superior Quality Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had Ghosts for years and the 17 is superior to them all! I love the roominess of the toe box and the overall cushion feel of the entire shoe.

Ghost 17 is GREAT
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had 5 different "Ghosts" throughout the years, and this one is the most cushioned and comfortable. My last year's pair weren't too worn, but I felt that they had lost some of their support, so got the new Ghost 17. Comfortable, cushioned, supportive, and all around great for the walking that I do.

Comparison with my prior Brooks Ghost.
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had Ghost 3, 8 (which I still have), 14, 16 (x2), which I have liked ALL better than the 17. To me the 17 doesn't feel as comfortable on my feet and kind of harder. I'm just a walker and do not run, so I can't compare them on running. I'm 73 so it could just be my feet, Just my thoughts.
