The engineered upper offers improved structure and breathability, hugging the foot just right for a secure feel at any pace. With a 10mm drop and a reliable ride from start to finish, the Ghost 17 is our trusted companion for everyday training, recovery runs, and high-mileage weeks.

The heel feels too shallow! I’ve worn ghosts since about the 8 at least and I’ve never noticed such a big change. Kind of sad about it but otherwise still a great shoe and not uncomfortable enough to send back and switch brands/styles

I miss the old Ghost 15 & 16

I absolutely love the previous Ghost models, but there is something different about these that does not work well for me. Please go back to the previous model with less cushion and the weird heel thing.

Look and feel great. They run narrow so I purchased wide.

I bought one pair for work and liked them so much, I bought another pair to work out in. The pair I bought for work; after less than two months, are splitting from the sole. Its a small hole, but they are still too new to have a hole in them. I have been wearing the Ghost model shoes since the Ghost 13s and this is the first pair I have had that have ripped so easily. Not sure what happened. They run narrow. I bought wides and they are perfect. They are not slip resistant. They look really good on, and are comfortable.

Changed the model too much from the 16 to the 17. Heel rubs low on the back and does not support my foot well. Had pain immediately wearing them and gave up on them after the second day. Returned them for a 16. Hope the 18 will return to more like the 16 and earlier models that provided proper support.

Ghost 17 Footbed narrow

Ghost 15 were my favorites. The footbed was wider and fit better. Ghost 16 and Ghost 17 have gotten so much narrower that I can no longer wear them comfortably, not even the wide width. Wide Width is about what the footbed was on the Ghost 15 Normal or B width. I've had to go to Glycerin 22 wide width and they are comfortable.

Bring back the comfort!

I have worn Ghost running shoes for years. I loved the 15, in fact I purchased multiple pairs because they were so comfortable. However, I don’t find the 17 very comfortable. The toe box is smaller and I don’t like the huge soles. I did not purchase the 16’s because of poor reviews. Please bring back the things we all loved in the 15 and models before that!

I returned these. The high tab in the back exacerbated my Achilles tendinitis. Ghost 15 was the best in my opinion, for appearance and performance. Wish they hadn’t made these changes.

Great shoes like all Brooks products

It would help me if this shoe came with longer laces. Otherwise, a great product.

I was nervous about the Ghost 17 because the Ghost 16 did not work well for me, gave me blisters on multiple toes. I’m very relieved because the 17s are much more comfortable. I still find them to be a little tight at the top toe area but not as bad as the 16s. I walk at least 4 miles a day and am overall happy with the 17s.
