Love these. Best Ghosts yet and feel much more modern than the previous versions with the updated shape in back and softer cushioning. Great for everyday running.

This is probably the best Ghost edition yet. I received my first pair about 3 weeks ago and as soon as I put them on, I ordered another pair. Great work and thank you!

I have had the Ghost 13,14,15,16 and now the 17. I feel this one here fits my foot the best of all the Ghost series shoes I have bought. I am not a runner but a walker and everyday wearer. Have had a couple other Brooks shoes in between, but this one tops it all for now and my feet. They are great.

Great all around shoe. While I run in more low to zero drop shoes often, this is a great change up for me and I appreciate it on my long runs. Does great on road and packed trail.

The Ghost is my fave, go-to running shoe. I've had the 12, 13, and 14 all in a 12 EE. I love the extra room in the toe box. For me the 17 seems to run a bit narrow compared to the earlier versions. After trying a 12 EE which was too narrow, I re-ordered a 12 4E. The 4E seems to fit more like the older model (12, 13, 14) 12EE shoe.Everything else about the 17 is just what I expected, and I'm happy with the shoe in the extra wide size.

I can always count on Brooks' shoes to fit and feel good! You don't need to break these shoes in, they're comfortable when you first put them on.

These feel like a big step back from the Ghose 16. After a few runs, they have not gotten any more comfortable and feel a lot of irritation when moving my big toe after runs, no matter if it is 3 miles or 13.

My shoes are very good but Brooks only offers black or gray in my size every year (4E).I cant understand why a major company cant track their 4E customers and e-mail us to let us know they have a different color every once in a while. I have purchased Brooks for 10 years and never been able to buy anything but black or gray

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.

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.
