My husband loves these shoes this is the first pair of athletic shoes that he has ever had in a narrow width and they are so comfortable that he doesn't he's wearing them they are that light. After years of trying he has finally found his go to brand.

I love the Ghost 16. But this one some how did not have the ankle support the 16 does. First time I wore them, I fell.

The Ghost 17 fits somewhat snug/tight, but feels good worn with a thin Feetures ultralight sock. Anything thicker it feels too tight for me. The Ghost 15 feels roomier for me and I can wear a neutral or thicker sock with it. The Ghost 13 overall has been the best fit for me but obviously no longer available.

Great walking shoe for me. Doesnt drop towards the toe. Very comfortable cushioned without being squishy.

They're really comfortable shoes for walking, and the cushioning especially feels nice and big.

I have worn Brooks Ghost for 5 years - the 13, 14, and 15 (two pairs, my favorite model). The Ghost 17, however, did not seem to fit at all. Every aspect of the fit seemed a little off. Maybe I will have better luck with the 18 whenever that comes out? I sure wish Brooks could brink back the Ghost 15!

Im am overall pleased with the shoe however for me at my age I need more support in the arch and balls of my feet as well as a little more room in the toe box area like the Glycerin Max offers.

Appreciate the cushioning and support. Hope the soles last longer than my last pair of Brooks.

Were these every day for my work shoes as a PTA I gotta have good shoes since Im on my feet all the time. Kinda really wish I didnt get the white, but I had a lot of good compliments on them. My patients really liked the look of them.

There is too much of a lift in the heel with this shoe. Nice style however, it feels like I am wearing boots when walking or working out otherwise. Causes tightness in lower back and hip, something I have not experienced with other shoes.

I have worn Brooks Ghost Shoes for years. Ghost 17, however, runs 1/2 size short and the medium width is much narrower than prior models.
Very disappointed. I will be searching for another brand.

The redesign of this shoe is a mistake. It has way too much foam, almost twice as much as the previous edition. If I wanted Hokas I would’ve bought Hokas. Truly disappointing.

These shoes felt good, but I felt like the back was pressing on my heel too much. If it weren't for that, I might've kept them. Ultimately, I ended up returning them.

I am returning them because of my toe issues. These shoes may be good for others, but the toe issue is painful when I walk.

I ordered the 4E in 11, but they are not actually very wide. My Altra Lone Peaks in wide are wider as are my Topo Adventures. These shoes are also very stiff with a high stiff back that hits the Achilles.
I'd also recommend:
Altra

Very uncomfortable. Have been wearing Brooks Ghost for years. Out of the box they looked narrow and long. The top eyestay on the front of the collar digs into front of ankle bone. These are narrow and a half size too long. I bought two pairs and both are like this. I have owned 10 previous versions of the Ghost model. If you have previously loved Ghost, these are not recommended.
