Shoes, look and feel good, lighter than expected. Great balance for indoor or outdoor running, plenty of support in the insole which has all the feel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes fit extremely well, running on treadmill or running outside. I run from 3-6 miles at a time either in or out and these shoes have been great with no leg fatigue at all . Recommend.

Bring back the old Ghosts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did not like them at all. Whatever Brooks did between the Ghost 15 and 16 has been awful. The Ghosts used to be THE shoe for softness. Older pairs I've had (10, 13, and 15) have been amazing right out of the box, like stepping on a surprisingly supportive marshmallow. I tried the 16s and now the 17s, and they are way too firm to the point my feet ache. Being back the soft Ghosts! Also, the color of the black and orange 17s were a bit misleading on the website. They originally looked all black with some orange accents, but upon getting them, I saw the gray reflective panels all over. I thought they looked more like hiking boots than running shoes. I sent them back and am now trying the Glycerin 22s, to see if these are comparable to the old Ghosts. Brooks, whatever you guys did... undo it.

Outstanding shoe for walking or casual wear
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost 17 - really working well for me. Very supportive and comfortable for me. My right foot supinates - Ghost 17 helps immensely. Works well with orthotics.

Disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was introduced to Brooks with the Ghost 15 and I have thought I had found my shoe for life. Unfortunately, the Ghost 17 cannot compare. The shoe is just not comfortable, and it’s to the point where I don’t even want to wear them. The toe seems tight and support seems lacking. The Ghost 15 was something I looked forward to wearing. I’m not sure what was done to the Ghost 17, but I’m sure there would be a lot of people in line for a new pair Ghost 15’s if they were available. I’m just sayin’…

Show not proportional to size listed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered a 2 E which is wider than the standard size W. This shoe is not a 2E so because of the size difference I can only give this shoe a 2 rating.
