Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 17

Brooks are the best! I have been wearing them for years and they are always a perfect fit and very comfortable.

Having been a long time Brooks fan I’ve been disappointed in their shoes the last few years. While the Ghost has always been my go to running shoe the changes have been keeping me away. The size and fit is snug, the soles are slippery on damp surfaces, there is zero reflective material, and the shoes break down in record time. While there are a lot of color options I seldom like any of them. The main problem here is the snug fit. My feet measure at size 5. All of my other shoes are a size five with a perfect fit. In running shoes I go up a size, usually to a 6. Lately I’ve been going up to a size 6.5.. why are running shoes getting smaller?? I tried these in a 6.5 and they were snug. I put in a lot of miles and know this will not be a good fit for my feet. Going up to a size 7 would make them too long and a tripping hazard. Size “wide” is nearly impossible to find and I confirmed with shoe experts that I am not, in fact, a “wide”. Unfortunately these did not work for me.

I have been wearing Brooks Ghost shoes for years. These fit and feel amazing.

so disappointed. I've happily worn ghost models for years, but this one is a non-starter, due to a change in the cut around the ankle that makes it poke into my bone uncomfortably.

Very nice shoe! Ordered in narrow, fits well in heel & ample room in toe box. Good support

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.
