Customers Say

Customers overwhelmingly praise these running shoes for exceptional comfort and reliable support, with most describing them as "walking on clouds" with soft yet supportive cushioning ideal for long runs and daily wear. Many highlight minimal break-in time and reduced foot fatigue, with some crediting them for alleviating plantar fasciitis. The balanced blend of cushioning and stability earns consistent loyalty, and customers appreciate true-to-size fit with wide and narrow options available. A small number report outsole tread durability concerns or occasional fit issues like heel slippage, but these are far outweighed by positive feedback. Overall, reviewers consider them a dependable, long-term choice.

Good Running Shoes

Have been buying my hubby Brooks for the past 5 year and he loves walking/running in them. States they are comfortable.

Good But Needs Improvement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The back part of the shoes touching the Achilles tendon is not comfortable and puts more pressure on it. The shoe also seems heavier than the weight specifications listed.

Ghost 17 - My Go To Footwear

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t run anymore but do walk 3 to 4 times a week and the Ghost 17 are a great companion. The running shoes that support and remain comfortable as everyday footwear.

Love The Brooks Ghost Shoes

This is likely the tenth pair of Brooks Ghost shoes that I have bought. I love that I can buy them online knowing that I'm going to get the same quality that I've come to expect and I know that the size will be right and that they will fit. I use these as my everyday shoes. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Wonderful Shoes

I bought this shoe because my doctor told me my feet got bigger and I should only wear sneakers due to other problems with my feet. This shoe is most comfortable and does not hurt my feet when I wear them all day long!

Finally

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 220lbs with wide flat feet. These shoes are the first pair of shoes that don’t cause my feet to hurt after a day of work. I have tried every brand on the market and Brooks beat all of them.

Great Running Shoe

Bought these for my son who is on his college's orienteering team. They run all the time and these shoes are comfortable and provide great support. This is his replacement pair for prior version of these.

Ghost 17

I sent em back. The 17’s are to narrow in the toe part of the shoe. The 16’s fit so much better. I love brooks shoes but after purchasing a handful of shoes that don’t fit good and are not as comfortable as previous models I’m gonna look @ trying another shoe manufacturer. Thanks

The Ultimate Everyday Workhorse

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ​My Review of the Brooks Ghost 17: The Ultimate Everyday Workhorse ​I recently purchased the Brooks Ghost 17, and after putting some solid miles in them, I can confidently say they live up to the hype. I was looking for a reliable, comfortable daily trainer for my regular runs and walks, and these have absolutely delivered. ​The biggest upgrade I noticed right away is the new DNA LOFT v3 midsole. This nitrogen-infused foam makes the ride feel incredibly smooth and protective. It is noticeably softer and lighter than previous versions, but without that overly squishy, unstable feeling that some modern running shoes have. It gives me the perfect amount of cushioning to keep my legs and joints feeling fresh, even on longer efforts. ​In terms of fit, the step-in comfort is amazing straight out of the box. The engineered mesh upper hugs my foot securely without any tight spots, and the padded tongue and collar mean I get a perfect lockdown with zero heel slippage. ​Another thing I really appreciate is the durability. The outsole has a thick layer of RoadTack rubber that provides excellent grip on both wet and dry pavement, and I can already tell these are built to last for hundreds of miles. ​With their traditional 12mm drop, they feel incredibly stable and smooth during transitions. While they aren't designed to be a snappy speed shoe for race days, they are the absolute perfect workhorse for my everyday miles and recovery runs. Buying the Ghost 17 was a fantastic investment, and they have easily become my go-to pair. Highly recommended!

Not Like The Ghost 16

Needed a new pair of sneakers, already had the Ghost 16 so the 17 seemed to be the way to go. WRONG! They are not as comfortable and even though I bought a wide size they still cramp my toes. Sorry I bought them.

JormanG
