Good cushion and stability for my skinny ankles without sacrificing room in the actual shoe. A true wide width!

I have used the ghost for years and this is my least favorite model. It just doesnt fit like previous models. Hopefully the next model is more similar to past models.

This is my third pair of Brooks, and they work great for me! Good fit, good support, I can run with them on streets or trails. A good shoe for beginners or if you just want one pair and no fuss

I have been wearing Ghosts for a decade and am generally happy with them. The 17s though are a step above! I love running in them. Great support, comfy, good on all sorts of terrain. I am very happy.

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.

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.

I tried on this shoe in a store but did not really walk around much in them until the order from Zappos was delivered. The shoes fit pretty well, but my right foot has an iissue that I guess requires more padding, as my foot began to hurt after about 30 mins. Wanted to like them!

The last has changed and these are no longer comfortable to wear after years of buying Ghosts

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.
