Not the ghost I used to wear for yesrs
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
So disappointed with Brooks ghost. I’ve been wearing them for many years and I find that the shoe rubs against my ankle bone and the toe box is too narrow. Then switched to a wide where toe box is better but the rest of the shoe is way to wide. Goodbye brooks. Please make a wider toe box!

Disappointed

Thought the wide shoe would not feel so narrow. The shoe doesn’t have the comfort I was expecting for the price. I do like they don’t the large heel extending at the back. Easier as an older person getting down stairs.

The best

Perfect stability and cushioning
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes. I have an ankle/foot problem and these are the only shoes with the right cushioning and stability. I walk 10,000+ steps a day usually, successfully in these shoes. I now have more than one pair!!!

Very comfortable shoe. Have hard time finding shoes that come in narrow, so my next pair will definitely be Brooks. They’re hard to get because they sell out so quickly. Love the “bouncy” footbeds):

Ghost 17

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second pair of ghost 17. I’ve been dealing with foot pain lately but wearing these shoes has helped relieve some of the pain. This she provides support with each step.

My Normal Size Felt Weird
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased the Ghost 17. I’m a straight size 7 and these were just tight and felt weird so returned them. Going to try 7 1/2 to see how that goes.

Light and Comfortable
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these to replace the Ghost 15 and use them for work and doing errands around town. I feel like the Ghost 17 is a bit narrower than previous ones. At first it was uncomfortable wearing them. Since I don’t use these for exercise, I wear thinner socks and I don’t tighten the laces too much, especially near the toe box. Overall, I am happy with them.

Only shoe I'll buy
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love these shoes. I'm on my feet on concrete in a warehouse setting, and these shoes provide the support and cushion I need when I'm on my feet for 8 hrs. a day.

Worst Version of this Model
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I trained for and ran in a 10K with these and immediately returned them. My feet and knees hurt so bad after I used these. I could not break this in no matter how hard I tried.

Amazing right out of the box!
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are fantastic. I bought them in a wide for a trip to Disney in Florida. I didn’t have time to break them in so I was really nervous about wearing them but they felt great straight out of the box and I had no issues. I’ll be buying them again when they need replaced!

Not happy with ghost 17. Bring 16 back!
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
I have been wearing ghosts for many many years. This goes 17 is not as comfortable as the others. Ghost 16 was the best and I keep going back to it although it's a bit worn right now. I got the ghost 17 about 2 months ago and it's sometimes even gives me plantar fasciitis. I don't know if it if it's because it's a narrower but definitely does not feel as good on the instep near the ankle. Where the shoelace ties, it is a little bit tight and uncomfortable. Please bring the 16 back!! The toe area is so roomy and comfortable. And the InStep and Ankle feel great and supported.

A painful disappointment …. Brooks, you’ve done bad.
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
I’ve wore Ghosts since series 11, buying at least one or two pairs for each cycle until 16. I bought the 17’s and cannot wear them. The ankle rubs awkwardly and the sole feels lumpy. They hurt so bad! Open for suggestions of alternatives.

Why did you mess with a good thing?
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
You guys changed these ones. I have always loved Ghost, because they are so roomy. The fronts of these are definitely shorter and narrower, so they hug the tops of my big toes too tightly. Any chance I can buy Ghost 16's again?
