Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 17

I compared the current models of Brooks Glycerine, Adrenaline, Ghost and Hyperion 3. I've owned older models of Glycerine and Hyperion in the past. The Ghost had firm sole support - like an extra firm mattress which is why I'm returning them. Adrenaline was my winner.

I compared the current versions of Brooks Ghost, Adrenaline, Hyperion 3 and Gycerine. I've owned previous versions of the Glycerine and Hyperion. The Ghost model had a firm support and didn't feel as comfortable as the Adrenaline (like a really firm mattress but for feet).

The Toe Box was not wide enough to accommodate my foot. And when I put my orthotics in the shoes it did not help with the fit overall.

This Brooks Ghost shoe fits differently than previous editions. Specifically, it feels slightly smaller and narrower, not enough so the shoe does not fit, but enough so that the shoe is not as comfortable. My feet feel tightly constrained in these shoes, which has not been the case with the multiple Brooks shoes I've bought in the past. The shoelaces are short and short enough that I had to remove them from the last eyelet in order to comfortably be able to tie them.

shoes are great, very comfortable, only issue was the laces came damage.

The toe box in this model is too narrow. I tried different sizes and none of them fit well. Returned.

This is a very narrow shoe.

The shoe does not fit like a narrow in the toe box.

they were to large

These are very long and look huge on my feet. Like boat shoes. Not attractive.

I wear orthotics and need a large toe box. The ghost 16s were perfect.. unfortunately these Ghost 17s are not as deep and the toe box is cut differently so it hits the sides of my toes. The colors are so cute though!!!

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 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.

did not like color

One shoe still feels somewhat off.

The edges of the shoe around my ankles was too high so that my ankles were being rubbed by the shoe. Not comfortable.

I'm having a very hard time finding a shoe that feels comfortable this go-around. This one it likely is a medium but my foot slide around in it too much. I also tried a New Balance 880 and did wear these outside so can't return them. They caused a large callous on the right side of my right foot. Also tried on a Nike Pegasus. Going to try an ascics next. I am thankful for Zappos return policy.
