Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The updated cushioning and support provide comfortable and responsive daily wear and recovery runs for some users, though the narrower fit and redesigned heel and ankle collar area cause discomfort and instability for others. The stylish, versatile design works for both running and casual wear, but loyal Ghost fans are disappointed by the significant changes from previous versions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost 17 is narrower than the Ghost 16. I use orthotics making it difficult to fit in the shoe. It also makes it difficult to insert and remove.

Consistancy in an ever-changing world.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have flat feet. this shoe has consistently, over many years, provided support and comfort. I am a hiker and this shoe has remained my friend, both in for comfort and style. I highly recommend it.

Women's Ghost 17
I've been wearing Women's ghost for many years now. The Ghost 17 is so much worse than prior versions. My heel always comes out and it's uncomfortable. Please bring back the Ghost 16, 15, 14, etc!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a big fan of the original Ghost 17. This new one feels a bit off balance with the new sole, as well as a bit uncomfortable around the ankle. You still get a great feel to the run and I am hoping it becomes a bit smoother as it forms to my feet.

I have owned multiple pairs of Ghost and they are my favorites. I don’t know what is different about the 17s but I am having pain in my feet, especially the heels.

Awesome!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My podiatrist recommended Brooks to me a year ago. Now I currently own 12 pairs of Brooks. OK, maybe I'm a little obsessed. I am not an athlete no a runner. I am a walker but also love the style that Brooks brings to my wardrobe. I have all different models of shoes and can honestly say that the Ghost 17 are the most comfortable shoes to date. I got the limited edition color scheme and love it's uniqueness. Thank you Brooks for making awesome shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wore them to seaworld so I can actually test them out because I knew I would be doing a lot of walking. By the end of the day the front and heels of my feet were throbbing. I didnt have much arch support. Like the middle of my foot was missing something. Another thing was that they didnt have any traction. It was raining that day and I slipped a few times. I didn't like them as much. I'm returning them and trading them out for a new pair.

Not the best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been getting the Brooks Ghost model since they first came out. Some models were better than others - my favorite being the 12s. I unfortunately had to send these back. I got first time ever hot spots on my feet and irritation on my ankle from the ankle collar placement. They also felt cheaper made somehow. Usually I can put on Ghosts and go without any breaking in. I love Brooks, but these I was not happy with. Bring back the 12s!
