I loved my Ghost 16 sneakers and I work out in those, but I am finding the Ghost 17 to be so much better! I am teacher and on my feet all day and these sneakers feel amazing!!! The support and comfort is incredible! Im getting a few more pairs!!

Good support once I found the right size! I agree with the other reviews about the wide toe box and slightly narrower fit. After trying out my normal size (6.5), I went down to a 6 and got the wide fit, and it felt much better. I use these shoes for a lot of walking and workouts at the gym, and they seem to be a good supportive shoe. Love the look of them!

The Ghost 17 is narrower than the Ghost 16. I use orthotics making it difficult to fit in the shoe. It also makes it difficult to insert and remove.

Love Ghosts and have been. Wearing them for years. Haven't bought a new pair since my toddler was born and unfortunately I just have to accept that I'm now a 7.5W and the standard 7.5 doesn't work for me.

I have flat feet. this shoe has consistently, over many years, provided support and comfort. I am a hiker and this shoe has remained my friend, both in for comfort and style. I highly recommend it.

I LOVE the Ghost running shoes Extremely comfortable and supportive during a great run. My feet feel like they're wrapped in clouds all the time. Highly recommend these running shoes for all runners of all kinds!

Show insert is a little off, use my own. The upper left area where shoe and laces connect has a rough seam. You need to work on the inside sewing. Other than that, I finally have a pair of shoes that fits my 12AA.

Ghost is my fave running shoe and I own every version from the ghost 14 up to the current 17. I love the different colors! I size up 1/2. I usually wear a 9 to 9.5 but need a 10 for my toes and running.

I wish you would have never changed what was working!! Ghost 13 & 14 were the best! A foot having to get accustomed to every year changes in your shoes makes the consumer look for other options/brands. Please consider bringing back what worked for so very many of us!

Not as comfortable out of the box compared to the Ghost 15/16. Took a few workouts to break them in. Overall, still my favorite shoe and brand for my wide feet.

Been wearing Brooks for a long time and always love these shoes. My newest pair seems to be a little bit larger in fit than previous models. I always get a size 8 but these shoes just feel a bit bigger than my last pair. Otherwise, I'm very happy with them.

These are great shoes!! I already have 2 pair, and will likely get another. They fit fantastic. A roomy toe box, but a good fit in the heel. They are comfortable right out of the box. You can put a lot of miles on these. The sole has more than adequate support, and my back feels good. The color choices for the 17's are great, and I appreciate being able to coordinate them easily with what I wear. Well done, Brooks! The 17's are a winner.

I'm not a runner but I'm a walker and have been developing callouses on my feet. The podiatrist recommended these and they are fabulously comfortable. So glad I got them.

I really wanted to like it. Its a pretty design with beautiful colors, and I love the Ghost shoe. But they were too narrow.

These are my new favorite Ghosts! I have many Ghosts but the 17 is my new favorite because they run narrow and have more cushion than the other models. I went in the store to try these on, and I ask the sales clerk to try on a 7 1/2 which is my normal size in all other ghosts. She advised me to go down half a size as these, run, long and narrow. Im so glad I did they fit perfect. If you dont have a narrow foot, then I would consider ordering a wide.

The Ghost Max 3 worked better for me. The Ghost 17 fit well but my issue is that I roll outward at the heels on many shoes....I know, most people roll inward. The way the heel is formed on the Ghost 17 made my heels/ankles roll outward more easily. The Ghost Max 3 kept my heel/ankle straight. If you do not have this issue, you will like either shoe.

I've worn the Ghost for over 5 years, always in a size 9. These seem a little long to me, the back of my heel is coming out. Bummed.
