Brooks has been a top sneaker company for a very long time. I use Brooks all the time (several pairs). Brooks Ghost 17 fits perfect. Nice cushion. I use for walking and standing on concrete all day and these Ghost 17 good all day. Great sneaker. I also use the Ghost Max 3 and everything the same as with the Ghost 17, great sneaker.
I'd also recommend:
Ghost 17, Ghost Max 3, Glycerin 22, I use and love all 3 styles.

I've had Brooks Ghost 14, 15, 16, and now 17. I obviously like them. Even so, the 17 is my favorite so far. I love the reduced heel-to-toe drop. It encourages a midfoot strike, which is how I learned to run. My shoes have always worn down the most right where the sole gets thinner by design, and now there is more cushion there. I also love the look of the all black version. Even though it is a bit aggressive, the new design on the soles is a great improvement over the pocky look of previous generations. These are lightweight, comfortable, they fit pretty perfectly, and they are by far my favorite running shoes.

Size 10.5 4E extra wide- comfortable. Had them for 4 months now and happy with them. Sized up not became they were too short but needed the extra width. Ghost 17s not as wide as previous versions. Brooks needs to make more colors for 4E besides black with black sole.

Great shoe! Very neutral and good for people that do a mix of activities, like running and walking. A good shoe that works for most people.

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.

This is my favorite colorway of the Ghost 17 Ive owned. I love that its a very light gray color and the neon bright colors really look good. Im impressed because I usually go with neutral colors and this time my mind was changed. The width is perfect too. Very comfortable.

Nice shoe, really love the look and it feels pretty comfortable on my daily walks. However, it is definitely narrower than the Ghost 16. I purchased my usual 11 WIDE and it feels pretty tight, especially around the instep. I had to loosen the laces to the point there’s almost no lace left to tie.

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.
