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.

The heel feels more narrow than the 16. I have been running in the Ghost model for years, 15 was the last model that I loved.

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.

This is a very comfortable shoe. I work in Healthcare and am on my feet a lot. My feet aren't tired at the end of the day.

I’ve always loved Ghost, and really wanted to love these, but they caused my feet to hurt horribly. The heels and the balls of my feet just ache. I wore them for road walking and the treadmill.

The heel area is completely different than precious models. Very narrow and doesn't cover the width of the back heel. Also the middle portion of this part is much higher, but the sides lower. Awkward fit. Super bummed!

Love my Brooks. The Ghost 17 provides just the right amount of stability and cushion. Gives my long walks a great cushion!

I found this version clunky and wide. Not a runner but a walker and it feels like Im walking 2 above the pavement (not in a good way). I will try again next year

I ordered 9.5WW. They fit perfectly and are very cushiony. After breaking my metatarsal, I need wider shoes than before my injury and these seem like they'll be perfect. My Adrenaline 22s in 9.5WW also fit well-- but reviews of current Adrenalines made me hesitant to try them. ( I had ordered several pairs of those old Adrenaline 22s because they fit great and if you have wide feet, then you know it pays to stock up when you find a winner. Planning to get another pair of this Ghost 17)
I'd also recommend:
Hoka Bondi 9

I have worn the Brooks Ghost for many years. Unfortunately, the Ghost 17 feels different than all the rest. It is hard, not flexible and makes my arches hurt. I just ordered the Brooks Glycerin 22 which is much more like all the previous Ghost models and much more comfortable than the Ghost 17 so I am returning the Ghost 17.

For me the Ghost series is my go to option. I run casually, but also go to a HIIT class. I can use this shoe for both. Very comfortable and love the color

These felt too long for a 7.5 but narrow for a wide.

These work well with my narrow feet and have good cushioning. I wish Brooks had cuter colors, but this blue is very practical and looks good with jeans. I’m happy.

Fantastic fit and support!!!! I developed plantar fasciitis and switched to the Ghost from the Glycerin. Game changer! My foot is healing and I am so happy with the fit and support of the Ghost. Just ordered my second pair.
