Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 17

Shoes arrived put on and didn’t take off until bed. I wear only Ghost/Brooks. Bought really for the color - wanted the maroon color. Waiting for orange color next!!

I am very disappointed in how the Ghost has changed. I have worn them for many years and the changes to the 16 and 17 models have disappointed me. The toe box is much wider and the change to the heel of the 17 area hit me in the wrong spot. It is higher and harder and causes discomfort. I will not be keeping these. I hope hope they go back to earlier designs. If it's not broke...don't fix it.

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.

For my particular feet, this is the most comfortable shoe I've worn in years. I have been wearing (and running) in Brooks for about 10 years and have always been happy. But the cushioning throughout toe box really works for my feet. I have over pronation so I add Super Feet insert and they're perfect. But echoing another reviewer, I wish Brooks would provide more colors for us narrow footed souls (soles?) :)

I have long worn Brooks shoes for daily walking. Each model seems to fit a bit differently with each new years' rendition. It took me a bit of experimenting with the Adrenaline, Adrenaline Weatherized, and Ghost models this year. I ended up keeping the Ghost 17 (in a half size bigger than my pervious Ghost 15), as it proved to be my best Brooks fit and the Grey/Clearwater/Purple color combo felt like a good choice for the upcoming fall/winter season.

This is a very odd shoe. I have worn Brooks Ghosts and Glycerins for over a decade. Always 10.5 AA. This shoe is super uncomfortable. It cuts into my outer ankle bones. There is this weird gap all around my ankle and a stiff padded tab that sticks out in the back. The shoelaces were oddly short. There is a “knot” on the insole that does not align with my arch. The shoe is longer and narrower than previous Ghosts. The 10 AA was longer and narrower than previous 10.5 AA. Having a narrow foot I was good with the width, but this shoe is a miss for me.

I usually wear (and prefer) Brooks Launches but didn't like the color options so went with a pair of Ghosts. My running is only treadmill running and the provide good support and are comfortable.

Love the new pink color! So glad that Brooks finally added some color to their Ghost line! How about some more fun colors please?

I've been wearing Brooks Ghost for years but the 17s were too narrow.

I ordered a 9.5 and they were really narrow. Zappos didn’t have 9.5 wide in a color I liked so I order the Brooks Glycerin in 9.5 wide. Fit perfectly.

I was a bit concerned due to some reviews, but the new version of the Ghost feels great. It does feel a little different around the ankles than older models, but the fit is perfect and shoes are comfortable and maybe a little more padded/bouncier than older versions.
