Brooks Men's Ghost 17 Running Shoe

I have been wearing the Ghost 16 for a few years now. I tried the Ghost 17 and had a problem with the ankle area. My ankle and the top of my foot were rubbed raw by the tongue of the shoe. I had broken them in for maybe 20 miles and I was on a long run. At about 8 miles I could feel them chafing. I stopped and re-tied them more loosely. The problem continued to get worse so I returned the shoes and bought a new pair of Ghost 16s. I don’t know if I just got a bad shoe or if it is an inherent design issue. The underside of the tongue doesn’t seem to be as soft as the Ghost 16. Other than that, the shoes seemed fine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are basic brooks. For running shoes I would think most would prefer more expensive brooks options as they are just better performers. I have no issues with these as they are comfortable well built shoe I plan to just use as a daily casual option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how neutral these shoes feel. No tilt to the front (like Nike) or to the back (like Hoka). Just balanced connection with the ground. I really like these shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost 17 shoes honestly exceeded my expectations. They are extremely comfortable, with excellent cushioning and great traction. I ordered my usual size, and they fit as expected. I got the solid black color and really like that they match everything. Since I got these shoes a few weeks ago, I've been wearing them every day, wherever I go. I recently wore them during a full day of walking at the zoo, and my feet felt great the whole time. I've even hiked a few trails in them (as you can tell by the photos). I've been really impressed with these shoes and would highly recommend them!

The Ghost has been the very best running and walking shoe I have ever used and I have used them all! First and foremost the fit, (narrow) has been flawless. I do use an orthotic, go up half a size and the shoe is the most comfortable and functioning running and walking shoe on the market. The neutral support aided by the orthotic insert offers stable foot control, proper knee alignment and superior cushioning. There simply is no other shoe offered that provides this kind of comfort with miles of pain free running. Please offer two color styles going forward for us narrow feet runners!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Ghost 17 shoes have been an absolute dream to wear on runs and also while slowing down and going on walks with my little ones. I wear a 9.5 and they fit true to size, my feet were somewhat sore in the first few days of wearing them but all shoes need broken in and now they are my go to’s. The black design is sleek and pairs well with even an everyday outfit. The fabric is well made and hasn’t shown any signs of wear even though it’s been my daily used shoe. I’ve always struggled finding a shoe that doesn’t cause a blister on my heel after longer runs and I haven’t had one since wearing these. I loved the cloud like feel to them while wearing them. They are 10/10 my favorite running shoes I’ve used!
