Great shoe
The shoes are very comfortable! I have them in several colors. I walk for exercise every day and they hold up great.

So uncomfortable. Feet still aching.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the Ghost 16s. I started wearing Ghosts at 14 and the 16s so far were my favorite. I put them on and they were comfortable immediately out of the box. I tried the 17s today and they were super painful. The ball of my foot is still hurting from walking a few miles in them. They change my gait because they are so awkward and the top where they lace up digs into my foot. I'm so disappointed. These are the only shoes I ever wear and I my 16s are wearing out. I'm going to have to find a new shoe now.

Different Fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wearing Ghost for years! Always perfect right out of the box. I was so disappointed when I received Ghost 17 because the fit was totally off from previous versions. Everything - ankle, arch, toe box. I've tried other Brooks, but can't seem to find the right fit like the previous versions of Ghost. I see Ghost 18 is coming out....hoping they will be more like the old ones!

Great shoe … request more colors in NARROW width
I wear nothing but Brooks Ghost. My favorites are the 15 & 16. The 17 fit was a little too wide compared to those models & the cushion around the ankle was stiffer … not in a good way. That being said I love this shoe. My only request is to make more colors available in NARROW width. So few manufacturers offer a narrow width … so big thanks to Brooks!
