Great Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great walking/working shoe. I have the wider one and it seems to be great in the first two weeks.

From Glycerin to Ghost

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I wear a size 13 w shoe. I tried the ghost 17 because my son loves them. Unfortunately for me, the rigid outside edge rubs the outside of my foot. I also fill some discomfort at the balls of my feet when pedaling a stationary bike after about 15 miles. I normally work out in a Glycerin shoe but those have also been altered over the years. I do have weird feet so these might not be the right shoe for me.

Something seems off

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing Ghosts since 2011, practically every variation since 4 and I have loved all of them. The 17 just doesn’t fit right, I have hot spots on my left foot that have never been there before, the tongue causes pain regardless of position and I feel like there is no softness to the soles. Maybe I just got a bad pair this go around, or something drastically changed since the 16.

Great Long Distance Running Shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a long distance runner and I've used various shoes for my road and trail runs. I always have a pair of Brooks in my running shoe lineup because they are generally comfortable and last many miles. I got over 700 miles out of my Ghost Max running shoes from last year! These Ghost 17s are also very good running shoes. I'm glad they're not so narrow. I ordered the regular width and the toe box is wide enough that it doesn't cramp my toes. I hate cramped toes! The shoe also has the right amount of cushion for road runs. Good shoe!!

Great Shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe. Needed a wide and return process was easy. Glad I switched to Brooks. I have used several different brands and with my ankle issues the stack height and cushioning is perfect for me. I have bought a second pair already.

5/5

Good shoes but not great.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good shoe with just a couple of minor issues for me. The tow box is just a little bit tight. The arch support applies a little too much pressure at the front part of my heel on the arch side.. The heel cushioning is a little too squishy and soft, but not as bad as Hoka.

Look for something better.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As with many other reviews have noted, the material is too high/stiff at the lace lock, that causes rubbing at the front of the heel area. Caused bleeding/blisters. Also lower heel causing slippage. And much firmer midsole from previous models of Ghost. Best run was the Ghost 13-15. Brooks, please go back to previous uppers that we all loved!

Way too much cushion added without adequate notification.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

As an owner of several versions of Ghost in prior years, I am deeply disappointed in my purchase of Ghost 17s. In a nushell, if I wanted to feel like i had pillows on my feet I would wear HOKAs. It seems that majoer cushioning was added to this line, and yet it was not made clear prior to my purchase. While the Ghost series was my standard purchase for years without thinking twice, it appears that I will now have to search out a new brand that doesn't simulate walking around on pillows. More cushioning is not the desire of all who wear athletic shoes.

Not a good fit for me

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Got to say they’re not great for my feet. The inner part of the arch cuts into my foot when I run. They’re good for walking! Just not running perhaps? At least for me!

Excellent fit and cushioning!!!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable and plenty of room. The Ghost 17 isn’t as cushy as the Glycerin, which I like, yet they do have great cushioning, which i like better. They also seem to have more room around the toe. Overall these are exactly what I wanted.
