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.

I have been wearing the Ghost for several years and have always loved them. The 17 is the first ones i hate. They are giving me blisters on the inside of my foot just in from the big toe. No Ghost have every given me any problems even on first run out of the box. I am going to buy a pair of the old Ghost 16 to replace them.

This is probably the best Ghost edition yet. I received my first pair about 3 weeks ago and as soon as I put them on, I ordered another pair. Great work and thank you!

Lives Up To The Hype!

Great all around shoe. While I run in more low to zero drop shoes often, this is a great change up for me and I appreciate it on my long runs. Does great on road and packed trail.

Very Comfortable

The shoes are very comfortable and versatile. Highly recommend
