My go-to shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my fourth pair of Brooks Ghosts (my second pair of Ghost 17s). I just keep coming back! I like that there isn't too much cushioning but still has a soft and bouncy landing. I use these shoes for any type of run and even for races. You can't go wrong with a classic.

The best shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I buy these frequently. They are the best shoes. They are comfortable and are the only shoes I have found that don't cause pain after being on my feet all day.

These are my daily shoes for work, walking or just around the house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Brooks Women’s Ghost 17 shoes, and they’ve been a fantastic addition to my daily routine. At 63 and moderately active, I don’t do much running, but I do walk about 3 to 4 miles each day—and these shoes have made a noticeable difference in both comfort and stability. What stands out most is how supportive they feel. The cushioned sole is gentle on my feet, which really helps during longer walks, and the slightly wider outsole provides excellent stability. Each step feels secure, giving me the confidence to keep moving without worrying about discomfort or imbalance. This is actually my second pair of Ghost shoes, and based on my experience, it definitely won’t be my last. They strike a great balance between comfort, support, and durability—exactly what I need to stay active every day.

Run narrow but worth it
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
The other reviews are right: this shoe runs narrower than other Ghost models. I had to get a wide after wearing normal width in several other generations. But once I got this fit right, these are my favorite Ghosts in a long while. Both cushy and firm enough to feel really table, and the large lip in the back makes them easy to pull on.

Ghost always and forever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a Ghost loyalist — still my favorite and best for me out of the Brooks lineup. The only issue I have with the 17s is that the toe box feels narrower than that of the 16s.

Love Brooks Ghost
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this shoe! On my second pair of this exact model (8.5W Ghost 17). Used for general running & recently to train and run my first half marathon! I like the balance of cushion/support with springiness to keep me going. Tried a glycerin looking for more cushion & ultimately prefer this model. I have a history of knee issues (ACL and meniscus repair, etc) but have no issues with these. No blisters or pain of any kind on runs up to 13 mi.

Awesome walking sneaker

I walk 40+ miles a week and have had no foot pain. My other sneakers made the top of my foot sore, these have not. I highly recommend them if you want comfort and no pain.

Why no 4E

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It seems you do not carry the true extra wide anymore. I need 4e which I got before in brooks.

Great fitting shoe!
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for a shoe that was narrow and yet comfortable to work out in and thus one fits perfectly! Having a narrow foot makes athletic shoes difficult to find. Glad I finally tried the ghost 17.

Ghost

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost 17 is not nearly as comfortable as the past Ghost shoes I have. Narrow width is good. I am not happy with the hardness, not soft inside at all. Laces are too short. You need more color choices in narrow width. There are not nearly as many shoes in a narrow anymore.

I love these running shoes for long distance running. I was skeptical to get them based on previous reviews but didn’t disappoint.
