Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 17

I've worn Brooks Ghost for over 10 years. Ghost 17 is very disappointing and no longer the same fit. Why change what was working and very popular? This model is certainly not an improvement over previous models. The mid-foot is narrower and made my feet fall asleep after an hour of wear. Overall, the shoe seems of poor quality. Similar reviews exist online on multiple websites from long-time Ghost wearers, all expressing significant disappointment with the fit. Brooks Ghost Designers: please return to the older fit, as in the Ghost 14.

I feel the toe box is very narrow. true to size. The narrowness bothers toes if i went up a half size wpould be too long. Colors are really nice Brooks neeeds improvements on designing toe box.

I have worn Brooks Ghost for years. My favorites were my old Ghost 13 and they have gone down since then. This version is the worst, and I have finally switched brands because they are so bad. The heel is too low. The arch is too high and in an awkward place. They are a bit long as well. I wish they would revert back to the older fit.

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.

Listed as AA width but wider than medium.

I've worn Brooks Ghost 15 and 16 and the fit and comfort was excellent. These Ghost 17 are not for me. Same size as before and the shoe makes my foot look very long. The toe box is narrower, the support is not neutral, and circulation around my ankle is being strangled. These are going back.

The Ghost 17 was re-designed and it is not as comfortable as previous Ghost shoes. I’ve been buying Ghost for 5+ years and they always are comfortable. The back of the heel was made higher and my socks ride down. These are going back and I’m buying the close out Ghost 16.

Worse Ghost shoes ever. Others Ghost were good.
