I Love Brooks Ghost And These Are My Favorites Yet

I've had Brooks Ghost 14, 15, 16, and now 17. I obviously like them. Even so, the 17 is my favorite so far. I love the reduced heel-to-toe drop. It encourages a midfoot strike, which is how I learned to run. My shoes have always worn down the most right where the sole gets thinner by design, and now there is more cushion there. I also love the look of the all black version. Even though it is a bit aggressive, the new design on the soles is a great improvement over the pocky look of previous generations. These are lightweight, comfortable, they fit pretty perfectly, and they are by far my favorite running shoes.

Great Product

Brooks shoes have been my go to sneaker for the past 5 years. This particular shoe is lightweight, durable, and comfortable. I recommend their brand for any running shoes.

My First Pair Of Brooks-won't Be My Last!

unfortunately, they don't make womens shoes large enough for me. But mens 1.5 sizes smaller are perfect-and wider as well (which is good for me!). Love the selection of colors too. I am an underpronator and have had lots of problems with my feet, so am pretty picky about shoes, need a neutral shoe with good support.

Why would Brooks screw up the best show out there. These Ghost 17 shoes have way to much cushion in them for a running shoe, these are more of a walking shoe. Ghost 14 was the last best Ghost shoe out. I have ran 5 marathon in Ghost shoes, these are not going to work.

A Painful Disappointment

Really unpleasantly surprised by the 17s. I've been running in Ghosts for the better part of 10 years at this point. I saw the changes and kind of went, well, I suppose they know what they're doing- especially was disappointed about the midsole drop being reduced to 10mm, cuz the Ghost was one of the few shoes that still have a 12mm. Took them out once, suddenly had knee pain- never before in my entire 24 years running. Gave them a second chance on a short walk, same issue! I hate having to go look for a new running shoe, but obviously this just isn't going to cut it. I'm returning.
