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.

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.

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.

Show width runs narrow: Order extra wide for wide. Shoelaces are far apart.

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.

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

The shoes have this very weird cushion around the ankle. it's this pressure around the achilles area.

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.

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.

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.
