By far the best running shoes I've ever had. I have tried hokas and these brooks make them feel like Payless shoes. These are definitely worth every penny. I'm a heavy set dude. I am 5'7 280 and ran 2 miles and these shoes are amazing to run on. I would definitely recommend these to everyone. Glad I listened to other people online. Should of listened sooner though.

Nice shoe but fits a little too snug
The Ghost 17 fits somewhat snug/tight, but feels good worn with a thin Feetures ultralight sock. Anything thicker it feels too tight for me. The Ghost 15 feels roomier for me and I can wear a neutral or thicker sock with it. The Ghost 13 overall has been the best fit for me but obviously no longer available.

They're really comfortable shoes for walking, and the cushioning especially feels nice and big.

The Decline Continues
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse than the Ghost 16, behold, the Ghost 17, ta-da! The outsole that wraps up around the toe began coming unglued on the very first day of use, which only consisted of walking and a kneeling a few times. Beyond that, the graphics on the side of the shoe, where Brooks prints their name, also began coming unstuck within about a month of use. I've got Ghosts going back to 11, but these are by far the worst edition I've encountered, and they were also the most expensive.

I’m am overall pleased with the shoe however for me at my age I need more support in the arch and balls of my feet as well as a little more room in the toe box area like the Glycerin Max offers.

The shoe is nice, however, the back of it with the heel cup area is awful. I wear orthotics and have never had problems with my heel sliding out of the back of the shoe but this new model is not good. My heel feel like it will slide out any moment and I have to overtighten the laces to keep my foot in which is uncomfortable.

New heel too short, feels like shoe will slip off.
New heel design makes shoe feel like its slipping off my foot. After many generations of ghosts, I need to find a new go-to shoe.
