Ghost 17 ... Was A Bit Narrower Than Older Models

The Ghost is my fave, go-to running shoe. I've had the 12, 13, and 14 all in a 12 EE. I love the extra room in the toe box. For me the 17 seems to run a bit narrow compared to the earlier versions. After trying a 12 EE which was too narrow, I re-ordered a 12 4E. The 4E seems to fit more like the older model (12, 13, 14) 12EE shoe. Everything else about the 17 is just what I expected, and I'm happy with the shoe in the extra wide size.

Step Back From The 16's

These feel like a big step back from the Ghose 16. After a few runs, they have not gotten any more comfortable and feel a lot of irritation when moving my big toe after runs, no matter if it is 3 miles or 13.

Fit Great

The Brooks Men’s Ghost 17 are light weight running shoes.

I Think Theyre Great

I've run in Asics the past 3 shoes. These are my first Ghost style. Good shoe. I think theyre just a notch below Asics Gel Nimbus 25. I've put about 6 miles on them so far…taking my time for my legs to get used to them and break in the new shoe.

Deviated From The Tried-and-true Formula. I Don't Like The Loose Heel Collar.

I have been running in primarily Brooks Ghost models since #7. They have mostly been great. The last few models I had before these (I got up to #15) had zero issues. I don't know why the heel collar was changed, but that makes this shoe a let down because now the heel slides up and down while I run. I have a nice snug fit otherwise with 10 wide. I tried tying them extra tight to reduce movement but it didn't help. Not only will the sliding cause irritation but my foot is tensing up to compensate so it's a deal breaker. Otherwise the shoe feels great, so if it could trade heel collars with the good old #15 I'd be set.
