[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable and very supportive! Fits very well.

Ugly But Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried and true. Have been wearing these for years. Literally only complaint is that Brooks refuses to make shoes that are cute. The colors are consistently awful. Every other shoe brand can produce cute and functional shoes, not Brooks. Ugly every time. But I keep buying them for their solid running performance.

Great Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really happy with my new Ghost 17 sneakers. I’m a walker, not a runner and these shoes are great. Plenty of room in the toe box and plenty of cushioning. I always size up in sneakers to accommodate different socks and to not feel cramped. Dedicated Brooks wearer.

Walker

I have a pair of Ghost 14 and 17. I like the heel design of those better. The cushion is great, but I am not a runner. I walk on the treadmill. For me the sole is pretty thick. I am a size 7 Women's medium.

Do Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a runner and I have never been less impressed with a shoe. Out of the box, they are extremely flimsy, squeaky, and slippery. There is no grip or traction so not even running in rain but in slightly damp surfaces and I was sliding all over the place. Cannot recommend and really disappointed since they were so expensive

Speaking From Years Of Experience With This Brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over twenty years ago I purchased this brand on a doctor’s recommendation. Several years ago I tried Hoka but after several months I gave them away and went back to Brooks Ghost. They are the best wide shoe for my feet. They run true to size from year to year and the quality is long lasting. I am using old país for working it in the garden or mowing the grass. I am almost eighty and you young people need to not skimp on your shoes. Get the best for your feet because your feet stay with you all your life and you will have no regrets with the comfort and quality of these shoes. After I bought myself a pair, I gifted my daughter with the pair pictured above.

Love Them

I stand on my feet 8 hours a day. I love my Brooks Ghost 17 shoes.

My New Ghost 17 Sneakers Are The Best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have loved Ghost shoes since the first time I tried them many years ago and these new Ghost 17s which I recently received are no different. They are comfortable from the moment you put them on...no break in period needed. They are very comfortable and supportive for long walks and exercising.

Prefer Fit Of Ghost 16

The vinyl lace placket on the Ghost 17 is different than the 16. (The 16 does not have the vinyl restriction.) The 17 does not allow "give" for extra space when loosening the laces. IMPORTANT NOTE: The lacing placket is the same length for a women's size 10 shoe as is for a size 5.5 shoe. An average person wears Brooks lacing construction over the instep. A shorter shoe, with the same lacing construction, lands further down the foot, closer to the toe area.

My Go To Sneaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brooks sneakers work the best for me. I am on my feet all day. Whether im running around the office or walking on my lunch hour. My feet never get sore. The wide toe box helps with my flat feet. They DO NOT look bulky like other brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the Ghost 16 much better More room in the toe area and the 16 is more comfortable for walking The 17 seems to push you forward
