Ghost 17 Trainers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love them!!! I use these for work at the hospital and its like walking on clouds. My feet dont hurt after a long day and these are wonderfully supportive!

I’ve been wearing Brooks since the Ghost 13, but unfortunately this version isn’t working well for me. I liked the color options & sizing was accurate. However, the extra cushioning added around the ankle for stability feels excessive and actually causes discomfort because of how much it presses against my ankle. The increased internal height also makes my foot feel like I’m standing on top of the shoe rather than sitting securely inside it. In addition, the toe box feels narrower compared to previous versions. Lastly, I appreciated that earlier models didn’t have reflective detailing along the outer sole, which made them easier to wear casually as well as for workouts. If these design changes are adjusted in future releases, I would absolutely be interested in returning to Brooks again.

I have been wearing regular Ghosts since I started running 6 years ago and get a new pair every 6 mos. Sadly I had to give them up as the 17s are too narrow/tight across the toe box. I used the 17s for the last 6 months with tightness at the beginning of most runs. I tried on a new pair for a replacement and there is no way. Very uncomfortable. I do not wear a wide width in shoes either. Sad to say goodbye, I really loved the Ghosts. Hopefully Brooks will bring back the 16 design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are just the right amount of support. I am a healthcare worker on my feet all day and these shoes allow me to get through the day without pain or discomfort. Plus, the color pattern is perfect! Just enough color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing the Ghost for years, it’s been a great shoe for me, until this one, which is too narrow, the heel bed also seems less deep, it was overall uncomfortable and I had to return it. I ordered a pair of Ghost 16’s elsewhere, I’m hoping Brooks does better. I can no longer wear the Launch either.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Brooks! For years. This pair was so dang tight? I ordered the same size all my other pairs with Brooks have been. Thought maybe they just needed to be broken in but here I am weeks later and they’re still brutally tight. Cant return them bc I’ve worn them so I’m kinda stuck now. So a heads up to order a half size up from your usual!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered a 9 wide which is my typical Brooks size. I am a devoted adrenaline wearer but my podiatrist recommended I try the ghosts. I can not even tie them. They are suitable for my needs. Very disappointed.

For a little background, I’ve been wearing the Ghost for 15+ years and I’ve easily had 25 pairs or more. Unfortunately this redesign is a no-go for me. The previous design hugged around the heel giving a secure feeling. The new heel design makes the shoe feel loose causing too much heel movement in the shoe. Additionally, they sit higher on the medial side of my ankle causing them to rub my ankle around where the top lace loop is located. I have also started having pain in my arch which has never been an issue. I’m assuming this might be because my foot is moving in the shoe too much.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ghost are great. I switched from Adrenaline FRS and the fit with the Ghost is better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable and love the new color! Having prior plantar fasciitis, the Ghost is the most comfortable shoe to wear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the Brooks Ghost 17 as an everyday shoe, but they’ve quickly become my go-to for everything. I wore them to the gym for lifting and functional training, and I loved how stable and supportive they felt without being bulky. I also took them out for a run and they felt amazing — cushioned but still responsive and springy. It’s been a while since I’ve had a shoe that gives me that perfect balance of comfort and energy return. Definitely one of my favorite pairs in a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Ghost 17 the new back lip allows for me to slide foot in shoe with ease. I have a connective tissue disorder and my feet hurt but when they are in my brooks they feel great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been wearing these ghost 17 for years. Used to have bad great toe pain but once I switched to these, it all but went away(nothing is perfect haha) gunna keep buying them

I had to return these, just putting them on to walk around the apartment I didn’t feel the stability I needed or get with the adrenaline style. The are cushy but no support I kept thinking I was going to fall off the shoe. I don’t feel like that with the adrenaline. If you need more balanced and supportive this is not the model for you.
