Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 17

I like these shoes better than the previous Brooks Ghost. Much more support and comfort

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.

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.

These shoes have been great for working out and walking.

The fit was close to the Ghost 10 which was just right for me. The toe box is wider than the last few versions & the heel is snug on my narrow heels. I just wish there were more color options in the wide.

The fit and arch support are great!

Not enough arch support

Wore for two days where I stand/walk most of the day as an Rn and they were not comparable to my Hoka's :(

Not particularly comfortable. Not enough cushioning.

Recommend by my podiatrist for helping with my peroneal tendinitis. The shoe is lightweight and offers good support and stability for my foot.

Narrow toe box. It feels like my toes are being scrunched into a point.

I’ve been wearing Ghost for a long time. I’m very disappointed in the 17. The heel is so stiff it was a challenge to get on. But they are very stylish so I thought I would keep them in the hopes it might loosen up. After wearing for ten hours today, I had to change shoes. My feet and knees ached. Definitely not as supportive or cushioning as the 14 or 15 model. I wish I could return them. But I did wear them all day so they will be put away for a shoe I only need to wear for an hour or two.

Great shoe, fit well, gave great support. Will buy more.

The size 12 shoe fit overall with the exception of the heel, it was too wide and when I walked my heel would rise up.

There is not enough room in the toe box anymore. my previous Ghost shoes ( maybe from 2 seasons ago) had a higher and rosier toe box. When I put my orthotics in these, there is not enough room left. Im sorry that they keep changing the sign of the shoe.

These sneakers are perfect. I wear narrows, and unfortunately, very few brands make sneakers/shoes for my narrow heel foot. I wanted something more casual, but of course such a sneaker doesnt exist in 10 N. Most sneakers in narrow are dark colors, meaning there are no options in terms of color. I even emailed other companies , like HOKA, requesting narrows but they all claim there is no demand for such sneakers. This sneaker is white/multicolor and doesnt look like the nursing shoes I used to wear. Not quite the casual sneaker I wanted but they feel and look great, narrow heel and plenty of room for toes to move. Arch support could probably be better but nevertheless, A keeper. Thanks Zappos!
