What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Ghost 17 nails that perfect balance—it’s cushy but not mushy, stable without being stiff. The new upper holds my foot in place better, and the cushioning in the heel makes it feel great on both short runs and long hauls."
A fan favorite for a reason, the Brooks Ghost 17 Running Shoe continues to set the standard for comfort-driven performance. Designed for smooth, supportive miles on the road, this latest update adds refined cushioning in the heel and forefoot, creating soft landings and energizing toe-offs.
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.

Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The product has received mixed reviews. Some customers find the updated design less comfortable and supportive compared to previous versions, with complaints about a narrower toe box, stiffer heel collar, and reduced cushioning. However, other users report the shoe is still comfortable and well-cushioned, especially for everyday wear. The product seems to have polarized opinions, appealing to some new customers while alienating many loyal users of earlier models.

First time Brooks Ghost Owner
First time I've purchased a Brooks product, and so far have liked the looks, how it feels, didn't have to break in, and confirmed by my podiatrist & PT this was a good shoe to help my overall health.

Long Time Ghost User
I have been wearing the Ghost's since they were the Ghost 10. I wore the 16s and loved them. Lightweight but solid cushioning. Multifunctional, just fabulous overall. The 17s don't have that feeling at all. I have a theory that the models that are even numbers are awesome, amazing, fabulous, fit like a glove. The odd numbered models... just aren't it. This is narrow, stiff, and just doesn't have the OG ghost feel to it. I feel like I get on here to review the odd numbered models and go "bring back the Ghost 16!"
