Even though I ordered a double wide, the fit was still a little tight-so can only wear them comfortably when walking/running-love the cushioning!

Love them! Much better cushioning and comfort. Had developed my plantar fascia again and after getting this new version, it went away. Wish the had more colors in the 2E size.

Great shoe
Great balance of cushioning and stability. Ghosts have been my go-tos for many years now. The 17 is my favorite.

Awesome shoe
Not quite as good as the Beast ! But the Beast 23, 24 don’t fit me like they use to ( hopefully this will change soon). In the meantime Ghost 17 has been excellent, just ordered 2 more pairs. FYI Beast 20 was the greatest shoe of all time. Would by 20 pairs if they were available (13 2E ) 😎

Why fix a good thing?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing several versions of the Ghost. Have not tried the 17 yet, but do not like the high cushioning look. The Ghost 14 & 15 were great. The Ghost 16 not so great. Not sure why it was changed.

Good, but not the classic
They’re great, good build quality, responsive. However, I miss the previous height/drop. This seems like taking a classic trainer and moving towards the Ghost Max/Hoka craze.
