First time I've purchased a Brooks product, and so far have liked the looks, how it feels, didn't have to break in, and confirmed by my podiatrist & PT this was a good shoe to help my overall health.

Overall, Im happy with these; good support. This was my first purchase of Brooks. Seem to run a bit more narrow than other brands. I normally dont order a wide width, but probably will next time.

Toe box in wide not as comfortable as Ghost 16. Glad the Ghost Max 3 comes in wide. That toe box and shoe is more comfortable for me even though it does not feel as firm as Ghost 17.

I have been a huge fan of Brooks ghost for many years. They are perfect for every day comfortable footwear, but I use them for running anywhere from a 5K to a full marathon. This model is also OK for short, distant level trail running. If youre looking for a similar shoe in the Brooks Trail version, I would recommend the Caldera. The Ghost is a super comfortable shoe that holds up in all weather. If you want a shoe that makes you feel like youre walking on a cloud, the Brooks ghost is for you!

These are the cutest shoes. Everyone comments about how cute the color is and they feel great right out of the box. Good support for being on my feet all day at work.

The shoes are very comfortable. I should have order 1/2 size up. Other than that, I'm happy with the shoes.

These are perfect. They arrived in the mail on a Friday and I debuted them Saturday and Sunday in a 2 day race challenge (half marathon Sat. and 4 miler Sunday). They ran great just as the Brooks Ghost always do! Lots of support, plenty of room in the toe box, just the right amount of cushion, zero rubbing. I trusted Brooks Ghost enough to run those distances without even trialing them on a long run so that speaks of itself. Love them!

Love my ghosts! I cant decide which fit I enjoy more (compared to the glycerin) so they are both fantastic! I work in medical and have switched so many people over! Invest in yourself and your shoes!

I have really been incredibly impressed with the comfort of this shoe! It saved me while walking hours on concrete at Disney World for a week! The color is beautiful and fun!

First, let me say that I ordered the Ghost 17 when it first came out. The recommended size for me was 9 even though I always wore a size 9.5 wide in previous Ghost versions. So, so very sad to say, the Ghost 17 is not at all an improvement over the Ghost 16. The Ghost 17 is just awful - too narrow, less cushioning or cushioning type. All the improvements that Brooks say they made are not improvements at all. Unfortunately I wore them too much to return them or I would have. I hate them and my feet hate them, too. I'm always in pain when I wear them. I continue to wear them because they are the only white sneakers I own and my black ones don't look good with summer clothing. Lucky that at least for winter, I have 2 pairs of black Ghost 16 to rely on. I don't know what I will do when they wear out because I have tried several other Brooks models and none of them fit right like my Ghost 16s.

Even though I did not keep the ghost, its a very good shoe and would work for most people. I happen to have a slew of problems with my feet and knees from too much running so finding a shoe for myself is quite difficult.

Been wearing Ghosts for years, some are better than others. This one was terrible. Do not size up the half step of past years. Even then I might have gone down a half step. But it hits oddly high around the ankle and heel. Not the same footbed—hit in odd places when stepping down. Skipping this round of ghosts with hopes for next year.
