Best running shoes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the ghost! I don’t wear anything else anymore for running or walking. The support and comfort of these shoes are amazing!

Not good
They don’t fit like any other Ghost shoes that I’ve worn. Very disappointing. You would think there would be some consistency in sizing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable. Wider toe box than HOKA and feel much better

Comfortable, well padded
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are extremely comfortable and well padded. This is my third pair of Ghosts, but I think this model is better padded than my old ones and the toe box suits me better -- it's a wee bit roomier.

Different Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost 16 fit me perfectly and the Ghost 17 is a completely different shoe. I have an extra wide foot with a slightly higher instep and even though I ordered the same exact size as the 16, it was impossible to put on. I hope they go back to the fit of the 16 when they make the 18.

Did the fit change?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been running in Brooks for more than a decade, and these don't feel like the Brooks I'm used to. Has Brooks changed their sizing? These feel too snug (even though I always buy a half size up), and I had the same experience with a pair of Glycerin GTS that I purchased a few months ago.
