Ghost 17: A Fine, Fine Shoe!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Getting back into running with perfect shoe- the Ghost 17! 12.5 EE never fit so great. My feet feel super - I never say OUCH while running or the next day! Will definitely not hesitate to get the Ghost 18 after these give me a few more miles.

I own 5 pairs of Ghost shoes and love them
This new pair however felt uncomfortable just putting them on my feet
I returned them immediately
Very disappointed especially since I love all the older pairs

Great for my needs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, its a great fit and very comfortable. I use mainly for cross fit type workouts and in the gym. The shoe performs well for those activities and I haven't experienced any issues. Light running is involved as well.

Pleasantly surprised!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm primarily a trail runner but after my wife picked up a pair of these and really enjoyed them, I decided to give these a try since we occasionally hit the pavement on our runs.
I ordered the wide and my true size. This turned out to be a good fit for me. I put a short 3 miles in on them before our 5 mile race the next day. I really noticed how cushioned the heel felt during my stride. I felt the stack height was good and not too tall. Good, medium feel cushion that allowed me to still feel the ground while being comfortable. I normally run a zero drop but these just fine. For someone who's messed up every joint in their body from their younger snowboard days, these were surprisingly nice to run in and I was able enjoy my runs without cringy knee or ankle discomfort.
I definitely will get another pair to replace these when it's time.

Exceptional
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost series has been a great performer and the Ghost 17 didn’t disappoint. The shoes were extremely comfortable (right out of the box) and provided exceptional cushioning. I love the styling and I will continue to recommend this shoe to fellow runners.

Ghost 17
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Ghost 17 is one of the most comfortable running shoes I’ve owned. They fit true to size, have great cushioning, and provide a smooth, supportive ride. They were comfortable from the first run with little to no break-in period. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable daily running shoe!
