[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brooks 2W shoes fit my foot perfectly. Been buying Brooks for many years, great quality. Only complaint, 2W shoes do not come in really cool colors.

did not fit like the Ghost 16. The Ghost 17 caused knee pain and had to be returned.

From Glycerin to Ghost
I wear a size 13 w shoe. I tried the ghost 17 because my son loves them. Unfortunately for me, the rigid outside edge rubs the outside of my foot. I also fill some discomfort at the balls of my feet when pedaling a stationary bike after about 15 miles. I normally work out in a Glycerin shoe but those have also been altered over the years. I do have weird feet so these might not be the right shoe for me.

The Ghost 17 is as advertised.
Love the extra cushioning and the fit. They are walking shoes for me. Vey pleased with the Ghost 17, which are better than the 16.

Great Long Distance Running Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a long distance runner and I've used various shoes for my road and trail runs. I always have a pair of Brooks in my running shoe lineup because they are generally comfortable and last many miles. I got over 700 miles out of my Ghost Max running shoes from last year! These Ghost 17s are also very good running shoes. I'm glad they're not so narrow. I ordered the regular width and the toe box is wide enough that it doesn't cramp my toes. I hate cramped toes! The shoe also has the right amount of cushion for road runs. Good shoe!!

Great Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe. Needed a wide and return process was easy. Glad I switched to Brooks. I have used several different brands and with my ankle issues the stack height and cushioning is perfect for me. I have bought a second pair already.
