Comfortable. Great support. My first choice for daily wear. At the gym, running errands, all day comfort.

The heel cups in this shoe are much shallower than previous Brooks Ghost series. I messed up my toes in this shoes despite using a runners knot and insoles. I have loved all brooks Ghost since 11, but sadly these did not work

Love them I have been wearing Brooks for years as a nurse constantly running. My feet feels great . I have tried others but keep coming back to Brooks. The tops of my shoes wear away before the bottoms

Brooks Launches are my favorite athletic shoe and Ghosts are my second favorite. Both are very comfortable and work for me for treadmill running.

I’m shocked that even the wide width of this ghost was too narrow for me! I usually wear medium width shoes and have been wearing the ghost for many years without issue but they missed the mark on this one. My 15s are way more comfortable. The entire top of the shoe felt like it was constricting my foot and they didn’t feel very cushiony. I hope the next iteration is better because I do love brooks!

The roomy toe box gives me plenty of space for fluctuations in size with longer runs. The sole is more cushy than my prior shoes (launch) which took some getting used to.

Brooks sneakers are the ones for me - hands down. The comfort is unbeatable with great cushioning and support that makes every step feel easy. Whether I'm walking, running or just going about my day, they keep my feet feeling food. They're lightweight, durable and consistently fit just right. After trying many brands over the years, I always come back to Brooks. They just get it right every time.

They lowered the heel-to-toe drop making the shoe flatter, which puts more pressure on ankle tendons and heel. If you have plantar fasciitis, these will likely aggravate it. Also gave me peroneal tendinitis. They’re trying to be Hoka but we would have already bought Hoka if we wanted Hoka. BRING BACK THE 12 MM DROP!!!!!

TOO NARROW in a Wide, tried these on at a Shoe Store a little while ago in a wide and it was TOO NARROW for me. I wanted to try them before WASTING my money buying them on here, and I'm glad I did. So if you take a wide like I do then get an Extra Wide,

These shoes are defined by both comfort and style, ensuring that you'll stand out wherever you go. I'm really fond of the color combination (I have the black and lavender). Another great color combo by Brooks!

Returning because it felt very narrow for a regular width shoe. It's too bad because they're super cute and seemed like they had good support. Not my usual experience with Brooks Ghost, sadly.

Beautiful shoes! So comfortable, lightweight, and supportive. The Ghost 17 feels amazing from the first step. Perfect for everyday wear and long walks. Highly recommend these!

I've been wearing Ghosts for several years now - my first pair was the Ghost 5. The 17s are a little different than previous versions, but they're still supportive and comfortable. I first got Brooks for my running shoes, but after 2 knee surgeries in 6 years, I had to quit running. I'm a nurse and my Brooks are now my work shoes. I'm on my feet a lot and the 17s have been able to keep up. I'm actually considering getting a 2nd pair for my non-work shoes! I usually wear a size 7-7.5 and I always buy my Brooks in a size 8. Even though I'm not running anymore and don't necessarily need to size up to compensate, I still like the size 8.

Love the new feel of the 17s! Glad I got a half size up. My normal size felt really tight and weird on the heel but the half size up felt great.

I will need to return these. They felt too small and narrow for my feet. They are super cute and hopefully I can the next order more correct

This is a good pair of running shoes for everyday running and short runs on treadmill. I always wear Brooks glycerin max for long runs but this pair of ghost 17 feels lighter and more durable for shorter runs. I am happy with the purchase.
