I have been running in the ghost for many years. This is a great version of the ghost. The cushioning is good and the shoe feels light. I like how the mid foot is snug yet I have ample room in the toe box.

Rubs the top of my foot, below my great toe, & leaves a bruise after running several days in a row.

Love the shoe, especially because it comes in narrow. It is hard to find a good running shoe in narrow with a low heel to toe drop.

These are for my wife. She has purchased several pairs over the years. We look forward to the next model when they come out.

These feel great! The fit for me works better than the Ghost 16.

This Ghost 17 has a pointier tongue than my Ghost 15 and it cuts into my ankle. I returned these and was lucky to find two Ghost 15s.

I have been purchasing the Ghost for years. The comfort for me vacillates depending upon if they feel they have to “improve” or change some aspect of them for the newest version. You do need to order a half size larger than what you would normally wear.

Great running shoe! I did start wearing out the mesh on the sides, but only after a lot of road work. Lasted me about 5 months

The shoe seemed a bit wide in the toe area. I had to return these because the fit was a bit off.

I ordered the same size that I ordered in the Ghost 16, but the Ghost 17 fit is roomier.

Same support but too low of ankle and too high of back, rubs my achilles. Miss the Ghost 16

The Brooks Ghost 17 are narrow in the toe box compared to the Brooks Ghost 16. I wouldn’t recommend the Brooks Ghost 17 as a good walking shoe. Overall the shoe felt narrow.

I have been wearing Ghost Brooks for many years but this pair rubs on the ankle. The area around the ankle is much stiffer material than the shoes I have purchased before. I will be returning them.

My narrow feet are very hard to fit. The narrow is Ghost 17 is good. However, the toe box is the exception. It's so rummy, my feet slide around in it.

I use to love Ghost sneakers. Found them to be very comfortable but now I have a sizing issue with them. Have always been a size 9 but now I find they are too small and the 9 1/2 is too big. Also find that they rub underneath my ankles. I think I need to switch to another manufacturer. Sizing is just off for me.

I’ve worn Brooks ghost for over 10 years and this pair feels narrower and the heel slips! I’ve worn them 6 times. Would love to return them but I threw out the boxes they came in. I’m not happy with them.

I've worn Brooks for years, but the last pair and now this one (that I'm going to return) have what for me is an odd and uncomfortable tongue that either gets folded up (last pair) or is so thick it's actually painful on my ankle. It's too bad because they used to be perfect shoes for me.

This new model is more narrow than previous models and doesn’t work for me. I do like the new back though and they were very comfortable otherwise.

I have bought many pairs of Brooks ghost in a wide fitting over the years, my go to shoe. This model fits totally differently. Very disappointing.
