BrooksWomen's Ghost 17 Running Sneakers from Finish Line

Comfortable, reliable, and great value for the price

I’ve put several miles into the Ghost 17 and they’ve been excellent so far. They deliver exactly what you expect: comfort, stability, and a smooth ride. Perfect for daily training, whether on the road or the treadmill. The cushioning feels well balanced—not too soft and not too firm—making them reliable for medium to long distances. The fit is comfortable right out of the box, and the upper feels well made and breathable. For everything they offer, the price feels very fair. I would definitely buy them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable daily trainer.

Got them for my wife. She is on her feet all day at work. She says that these are the only shoes that don't make her feet hurt.

So pretty and comfortable

I would give a 5 but they are a little too wide overall - I ordered a wide but it’s wide in the tie box also the heel area - other than that they are great u love - they are so pretty and comfortable

Love them!!

Love the Ghost shoes! I am a walker, they are all I have worn for years! However, every year they keep getting more expensive! I highly recommend them.

Need more colors inside sizes

Needed a 10.5 wide but don't make that color in it. The 10.5 wide needs for colors.

Still a great shoe, hope the mesh tear was a one off.

Have worn Ghost since the 12. The new 17 felt a little different (maybe shallower) but still the best shoe for me. I do have to get a 10.5 in Brooks which is a half size larger than regular shoe size. Waited for the new Spellbound/Skyway color to be available but unfortunately the mesh tore in less than 3 weeks with minimal use. I am sending back and will go back to the black color in hopes it won't tear.

Good for low-volume feet, but TOO much cushion

I was eager to try the Ghost 17, especially since the 10mm drop is a welcome improvement over the 12mm drop of previous versions. I have low-volume, medium-width feet, with narrow heels, and this shoe is designed well for my foot. It has been very difficult to find a shoe that my foot doesn’t swim in because of the excessive fabric on the upper. The heel lockdown is very secure, but that does mean that it requires more effort to put on. The quality of the Ghost 17 is excellent, but ultimately, it didn't work for me. The cushioning was too aggressive, and it made my stride feel unnatural and unstable. It’s a well-made shoe with some great updates, but it is over-cushioned which was problematic for me. I’d recommend it specifically for those with narrower, low-volume feet who want or need an insane amount of cushioning.
