Best Ghost yet

Richard C 1 week ago Verified Purchase

I have been running in Ghosts since they first came out. To me, these are the best overall Ghost yet. The fit well and just feel right from the first run. The have a little bit more cushioning without feeling unstable or too soft. My only complaint is that the upper is slightly warmer than the earlier versions but they still feel better overall than all earlier Ghosts.

Best walking shoes

Dave C 2 weeks ago Verified Purchase

I've been a Brooks shoe fan for years. They offer a perfict fit fo my narrow heel and that allows me to go further on my daily walk. A better fit lets the shoes wear evenly. Very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great shoe for us larger footed folks

Matt A 4 weeks ago Verified Purchase

It's always tough to find shoes in a 15 or 16 but Brooks has been coming through for the last few years. I wore these ghost right out of the box on a week long wegas trip with lots of walking and they did not disapoint. The other bright spot was Fleet feet. This was my first time shopping with them and it will not be my last. Fast shipping, great selection and prices, they have totaly won me over as a customer.

Great Shoes

DavidT 1 month ago Verified Purchase

I have been using the different generations of the Brooks Ghost now for a few years. Tried other brands early on, but kept coming back, now they are the only ones I use. The only thing I noticed with the 17 version is more of a lip on the back heel portion. Comfort is still there, it was just new design I had to get used to...still great shoes.

Brooks Ghost 17 Run & Walk (Extra Wide 4E)

William A 2 months ago Verified Purchase

I work in a very large factory and have walked up to 20,000 steps in one day! Also, I've had both knees and both hips replaced.....oh yeah and I'm 65 years old! These shoes are like "walking on adjustable cushions" with every step! These are my 2nd pair of Brooks, and the team at Fleet Feet special ordered these for me and they arrived at my house in 3 days. I assure you that you will be pleased, and your feet, knees and hips will thank you!

Best fit of all I tried at Fleet Feet

John G 3 months ago Verified Purchase

Tried on several different shoes at Fleet Feet. These were the best fit initially. Running on them so far so good. Fit is the best for my flatter feet with slight pronation. Have had recent problems with other makes. My flat feet make my big toenail pop through the upper after some months. I hope this does not occur with the Brooks Ghost.

My daughter recommended Fleet Feet

Greg B 5 months ago Verified Purchase

I went in to the store after the Christmas gift card rush was over and got the custom fitting.. I was shown several options and found that the Brooks Ghost 17 felt the best. I picked out the color option that worked best. The shoes were shipped and I received them in a few days. Great fit, color of my choice, no problems. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Very comfortable shoe

T. R 5 months ago Verified Purchase

Shoes are comfortable and I like them a lot. Unfortunately I was switching from Adrenalines to ghosts and didn’t realize how much difference the heel to toe drop made in my running stride and comfort. Switched back Adrenalines, and now just use the ghosts for walks and everyday wear.

First Time Brooks

Dave G 9 months ago Verified Purchase

Shoes fit great and comfortable. Might be a little too cushiony for me. Removed the Brooks insoles and replaced with a pair I ordered that are a little stiffer. This seems to work best with my plantar fasciitis... so far.

Solid shoe

Ray C 10 months ago Verified Purchase

I've been running on ghosts for 5+ years. This is by far the best iteration of ghosts in a long time. The shoe has a whole is much more solid especially the ankle support area. The cushioning is on par with previous years. If anything it's more stiff and less cloud like than the 15s were
