BrooksWomen's Ghost 17 Running Sneakers from Finish Line

Disappointed

What happened to my Ghost? I have been wearing them for years. I loved the Ghost 14! Best ever!! Ghost 15 and 16 are ok. I bought the 17s on the Brooks Restart site and I couldn't run 2 miles in them. My right foot was screaming in pain. They feel much more narrower. I have been trying to find a pair like the Ghost 14. Bring them back. Everyone agrees they were the best!

Don’t bother

The most uncomfortable shoe I have ever put on for the gym. The ghost 16 are the best, don’t ruin a good thing.

Only brand I use :)

Years ago I started running and ended up with shin splints. I found out what I was doing wrong with not stretching properly and also not having actual running shoes. So I got my first pair of Brooks, and I've never used another brand since. I always feel like I have the support my feet and body in general need with these shoes.

Wide was the way to go for comfort but the color choices are dismal.

As I’ve aged my feet have widened and this is my first pair of Ghost in wide. The fit is great and it is a comfortable shoe that can wear on a 12 hour shift running around a veterinary hospital. I easily do my 10000 steps a day. My only complaint is that it only comes in neutral colors. In vet med white or very light color is a bad idea. Plus in the PNW well it’s wet and who just wants splatter mud, blacktop showing on their shoes. Black is just way too hot when it’s sunny out and your feet start sweating. I would love an amazing purple in wide. I still wear my old Ghost that were a purple with leopard print sole while doing chores.

Looks good; comfortable at first but makes my feet hurt (plantar pain) after 1.5 hrs of just walking around. I have not have not been able to wear any of the ghosts since the 13. With my high arches the glycerin remains a much more comparable long wearing shoe.

Picture does not match

I just got the new black with the orange bottom and the picture is very deceiving. It is very gray and reflective. I was expecting more of a two-tone black and more of a matte black.

I'm not a runner but I'm a walker and have been developing callouses on my feet. The podiatrist recommended these and they are fabulously comfortable. So glad I got them.

Staaaahhhp with the redesigns! Bring back the 14’s! These are terrible!

Not the experience you’re used to from the ghost, or brooks for that matter. It’s unfortunate they chose to redesign and screw up something that has been a staple in my closet for years. Heel doesn’t fit - too short and what’s with the flare? too wide, very heavy and stiff. Literally wouldn’t stay on my heels and made me unsteady on my feet and caused pain in my legs and back. The very opposite of what I started wearing these for! Stinks because they have some half decent colors for once but the trade off was a no-go for me! Sent them back. Bought the trace instead. They will replace the ghost for now until they bring back maybe the 14’s or 15’s.
