This Used To Be A Great Shoe....

I wear a 9.5 wide and have worn Brooks Ghost models for many years, but this one was returned. This shoe has a narrower, almost pointy toe box, which defeats the comfort of the "wide shoe" The shoe tongue is narrower, and the edges of the tongue create pressure points on the top of your foot when laced up. The heel is now raised for some reason, which is just annoying, especially if you have any Achilles tenderness. The shoe is not very cushioned, so would have had to add a replacement insole.... Overall, Brooks ruined a perfectly good shoe.

Great Fit

The fit of these shoes is great. It is difficult to find a training shoe in a narrow width. I wear mediums because that is all I can find. Please offer more styles in narrow.

The toe box is narrow and very difficult to return since we have no access to UPS store.

I have been a fan of Brooks Ghost for several years now. I think my first were ghost 14? I am a nurse so comfort and support is a must! Though the Ghost 17 fits the bill,I will say that I prefer the older designed ghost. Please stop trying to imitate Hoka. I tried Hoka and do not like the thick soles and too much cushion. I opted not to buy Ghost 18 because of this and am afraid that has 17 becomes less available I made need to find a different brand in the future.

Beautiful Shoe, Very Comfortable

Beautiful sneaker and very comfortable. Unfortunately when I went walking/running my feet rocked back and forth, so for me….it does not provide the stability I need.

Normally I would give GHOST 5 rating but this white pair does not get a five….. Hard area on the upper top near the third toe that rubs middle of my toe. Have to wear bandage.

Just A Comfortable Shoe

This is my first pair of Ghost17 and from the minute I tried them on they felt very comfortable. There was no "break-in" period. I always wear new shoes in the house for the first week just in case I have to return them, but it was not necessary with this pair. I knew from the start they were a "keeper"!

Best Sneakers I Have Ever Owned!!!

I get so many compliments about my Brooks sneakers. I will never get any other brand. Have helped my feet out a lot. They are comfortable for all day wear. I wear these at work and exercise. Then for my night walk, I switch to my 22’s, which are great also.

Versatile Beauty!

Fantastic shoes for running AND walking. Well balanced, great support in front and back. Comfortable with a good sized toe box so you are not bound in like some. And they are good looking shoes. A versatile beauty.

Ghost 17

I ordered my former size which fit me perfectly but the new shoes sent are larger fit Like the color and quality My first pair I purchased at a store and was fit very well so I moved to a new location ordered 8W again which is too big

This was significantly more uncomfortable than the previous ghosts. I tried walking and running to break them. In the end my feet never grew comfortable in them despite a valiant effort. I’m a pretty low key runner about 5-10 K a week. These just weren’t it. I’ve been using ghosts since 13 and will have to find a new shoe.
