Lightweight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are light weight and great for road running.

Just Ok - Soles Keep Getting Thicker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are just... ok. They get the job done for basic daily mileage and the fit is decent. ​ My biggest complaint is the trend toward massive midsoles. With every new model, the bottom of the shoe keeps getting thicker and thicker. Instead of feeling stable and connected to the road, it feels like running on oversized platform foam. If you prefer a more traditional, responsive ride where you can actually feel the ground, the current design will disappoint you.

Great Shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this shoe. I have Achilles tendonitis and I can walk long distances without a problem. The fit is perfect and it looks good too!

Comfort From The First Wear

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every Brooks shoe I have ever purchased is comfortable from the first wear! This shoe is the same. No breaking it. Just comfort from the get go.

Rub Area

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like them although they do rub on the inside of the top left of my foot I need to wear socks with them

Ghost 17

Great sure. Is very comfortable and love how they fit.

Great Look, Terrible Fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the color options but I think Brooks went more for looks than comfort in Ghost 17. The narrowest version offered requires some breaking in. It’s slightly supportive but feels more like the Adrenaline or Launch comparatively. I kept them as I decided to use the for walking and casual wear, but disappointed that I had to wait to the Ghost 18 release to use for running and fitness.

Disappointed

I have been wearing Brooks Ghosts for years and love them, however the pair I just got already has a tear in the toe area and I have only been wearing them for 3 weeks. Never had a rip in any of my past shoes. A little disappointed.

Best Shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Literally the best shoe for walking that I have ever worn. I’ve had foot and knee pain on my right side for the last few years and could not find a shoe that would allow me to walk comfortably. The Ghost 17 has been such a game changer that I bought several pair in different colors because I was afraid they would be phased out. Very happy that I can get back to walking pain free again!

Love Brooks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe, glad there is extra wide, wish there was more colors. Please make more colors in extra wide. i would love pink or blue in extra wide!

Best Running Shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my new favorite running shoes! They feel like they have some support but also feel very light and cushy. I just ran a 10K in them and was surprised how good my feet and legs felt after.

The Best!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BEST! True to size. Very comfortable! My favorite 😍

Not The Ghost I Used To Wear For Yesrs

So disappointed with Brooks ghost. I’ve been wearing them for many years and I find that the shoe rubs against my ankle bone and the toe box is too narrow. Then switched to a wide where toe box is better but the rest of the shoe is way to wide. Goodbye brooks. Please make a wider toe box!

Cush Ghost

Super comfortable shoe. Got it on sale online at Dick’s. Fast delivery.

Received incentive

Came Back To Brooks After A Different Brand

My wife found what she thought was a good deal on a pair of another brand (starts with Ni) but those other shoes started hurting her feet after a month. The Brooks Ghost is her regular brand/shoe and this latest pair did not disappoint.
