Ghost 17 GTX Running Trainers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these to help with Achilles Tendonitis due to the 10mm heel toe drop. I have been wearing them for a few weeks and my heel feels much better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t love the GTX Ghost. It feels much stiffer and has less cushioning. The shoe did keep my feet dry during a heavy rain in the theme parks. I definitely would not wear these unless keeping my feet dry was a necessity. They just don’t provide a plush cushioned ride. In warm climates your feet will be very hot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I expect Ghost gtx to run a little short until I break them in. I couldn’t tolerate the 17 GTX at all. I tried walking outside and on my treadmill. The insoles are really hard and my right big toe and foot are sore from being squeezed really tight because of the thick insole and hard material. I’m going to try the regular 17 and hope it’s comfortable like the 16. The previous versions of Ghost were much better fitting shoes than the 17 GTX. I gave two stars only because it looks like Ghost with quality materials and my hips and knees don’t ache.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good shoe but my feet do hurt a little bit after wearing them for a while. Got them for work and I stay standing for 8-12 hours but overall they keep my feet comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear these shoes to the park on dewy mornings with my dog, and my feet stay perfectly dry. All other shoes fill with water immediately - but not these ones. Love them. Not sure about the white colorway for a water resistant shoe? Mine are definitely getting very muddy & grassy at times. Loved my last pair of blue ones. The black ones look like old people shoes, LOL, but other than that, they are perfect. After several months of daily wear in the rainy Pacific NW, I do re-spray them with some 3M water shield, which helps as they get more used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little stiffer then my regular Ghost 17s during the break in but over all just a wonderful as my Ghost 17 but my feet stay nice and dry while running in the rain!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes. I ordered a pair for both my husband and me four days before a 2 week trip to rainy Europe this month, hoping they would come in time. With Brooks' speedy shipping, they did! We walked all over a wet Germany and Amsterdam in them, and they did not disappoint. We love our Glycerins, but these were just as good. Based on other reviews, we sized up by a half size. They were perfect. We will be wearing them a lot this winter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits me well. Size 11. Easy to walk in. Improves my posture. Glad it’s water proof.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are so hard. The heel part is too stiff and narrow. I usually wear 7.0 medium. But this is the first time i got a 7.0 medium where my big toe is touching the front top and tip of the shoe. I can’t even wiggle my toes. I had high hopes :(

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You are better off strapping concrete bricks to your feet. These shoes are hard, painful, and unsupportive. I could only wear them for one day before immediately returning them. All the good reviews are paid and I felt completely let down after I had fallen in love with the Brooks brand previously.

They must have changed this new ghost and now the heel area is super hard and painful. I’m really bummed since these have always been my go to shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy new shoes from all brands. I was excited to try these Brooks Ghost 17 GTX running shoes. I must say I love the colors, style, soles, inserts and materials. I have work for both work and running as I’m trying to stay in shape. I will say that these do run slightly slow which makes my toes hurt. Everything else is so comfortable. I would love these so much more had I gotten a half size up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit of the Ghost 17 GTX is incredibly comfortable right out of the box. It has a snug, secure fit, with just the right amount of room in the toe box. The cushioning is so comfy without feeling overly soft. This shoe feels like it is pushing me forward with each step, which is nice. It feels stable and supportive, giving me the motivation to get moving. I feel like the design of the Brooks Ghost has a nice balance between athletic and stylish. I can definitely wear these shoes out for a walk or run as well as with a pair of jeans to go shopping. I like the clean white color of this shoe because it is not too flashy but still stylish. The Gore-Tex (GTX) is a super comfortable and flexible waterproof feature. It is breathable but still has great waterproof protection, making it ideal for those rainy days or puddles. The material feels durable but not stiff, so it is still amazingly comfortable. I love that my feet can stay dry and warm without overheating. The weatherproofing along with the comfort makes this shoe a great choice for unpredictable conditions. The cushioning is very comfortable and I love the way the shoe seems to propel me forward while I walk or run. It almost feels like cheating! I wouldn’t change anything about the Ghost 17 GTX!
