Light and Comfy

1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost 17 shoe has been a very comfortable shoe for me as I go on my walks. My go-to shoes before these are a lot heavier, and so I especially appreciate how light these are in comparison and would say that is my favorite aspect of this shoe. This shoe fits true to size in my opinion, and the material feels quality. I have a white pair of these and am not worried about stains because the material seems to have some sort of stain resistant feel to it. I also like the solid heal on it. I think that is important for those that over and under pronate. I can’t really think of anything that I would change in these shoes right now. So far they have been a wonderful pair of shoes for daily walks and I’m looking forward to putting more miles on them!

solid training shoes- esp in wet weather

1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I run on different surfaces throughout the week and am always looking for shoes to have in the rotation. I've been using these on both the treadmill and outside and overall they are great shoes to have for training or running races. They feel light and provide support at the same time, and I am definitely going to use them for running outside in the late fall/winter and wet weather. The heel stack oddly feels a little high, but it could just be how my foot sits in it. I have narrow heels and didn't have any issues with lift or slipping.

Love These, They Do Run Slightly Small Though

2 weeks ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy new shoes from all brands. I was excited to try these Brooks Ghost 17 GTX running shoes. I must say I love the colors, style, soles, inserts and materials. I have work for both work and running as I’m trying to stay in shape. I will say that these do run slightly slow which makes my toes hurt. Everything else is so comfortable. I would love these so much more had I gotten a half size up.

Comfortable

1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Women’s Ghost 17 GTX is a comfortable and well-fitted pair of sneakers. I’ve been wearing these mainly for working out but it’s versatile enough for my daily walks as well as casual wear. I love the support this shoe provides. The support feels flexible but sturdy and well cushioned. It provides great impact absorption. I can feel the plush cushion with every step. The shoe is well designed for comfort and breathability especially the larger toe box, which provides a roomier feel. The mesh fabric is highly breathable. My feet stayed cool and dry throughout my workouts. The light and airy fabric adds to the comfort. Another well designed part of the shoe is the traction. I feel sturdy walking on cobblestones, streets and sidewalks and concrete pavement with the solid grip this shoe provides. The standout for me, and what I love most about this pair of sneakers, is the comfort level delivered by the impact-absorbing cushion. It just feels so comfortable! The fit is true to size. I wear a 6.5 and it fits me perfectly. There is only one minor change I would make and that is add a loop at the back of the sneaker to help slip the foot in.

Rain or Shine- still a great shoe!

1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit of the Ghost 17 GTX is incredibly comfortable right out of the box. It has a snug, secure fit, with just the right amount of room in the toe box. The cushioning is so comfy without feeling overly soft. This shoe feels like it is pushing me forward with each step, which is nice. It feels stable and supportive, giving me the motivation to get moving. I feel like the design of the Brooks Ghost has a nice balance between athletic and stylish. I can definitely wear these shoes out for a walk or run as well as with a pair of jeans to go shopping. I like the clean white color of this shoe because it is not too flashy but still stylish. The Gore-Tex (GTX) is a super comfortable and flexible waterproof feature. It is breathable but still has great waterproof protection, making it ideal for those rainy days or puddles. The material feels durable but not stiff, so it is still amazingly comfortable. I love that my feet can stay dry and warm without overheating. The weatherproofing along with the comfort makes this shoe a great choice for unpredictable conditions. The cushioning is very comfortable and I love the way the shoe seems to propel me forward while I walk or run. It almost feels like cheating! I wouldn’t change anything about the Ghost 17 GTX!

Lightweight cushion + incredible rebound = my new go-to

1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "I'm like a human pogo stick! Look at this spring!" Literally my first words to my husband, 20 strides into the first run in my Ghost 17 GTXs. Over the last 5 weeks, these shoes have climbed over 15,000 vertical feet, covered nearly 100 miles, and kept me steady packing a toddler to Angels Landing and through the Narrows at Zion. I had zero issues breaking them in, and am still blown away by the cushion and rebound, especially given how light they are. I'm particular when it comes to aesthetics, and frequently sacrifice comfort for style. Love that these deliver both on fashion and function, and am honestly surprised at how well this light colorway held up through miles of water, dust, dirt, and mud. I wear a size 7 in most brands, but ordered a 7.5 on the advice of a friend and feel like it's been perfect. I feel like these breathe well even with the waterproof GORE-TEX upper, but did notice the heat start to build when we were in 100-degree+ conditions. If you live in an especially hot climate, I might stick with a mesh upper, but think these will be perfect for our fall, winter, and spring. I appreciated the stability and traction, especially as I recovered from a torn ligament in my right ankle. Overall impressed! Any chance you'll be releasing more colorways, Brooks? Please and thank you!

Ghost 17 GTX are my new favorite shoes!

1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these shoes. From the colorway to the little bounce they give, everything about them is great. They’re true to size and I have a wide foot so typically I would choose a wide but these seem to have a wider toe box and I honestly feel zero discomfort wearing these. I find the overall look of these very aesthetically pleasing. I like the fabric and that it’s not that hard to clean. I’ve already dropped taco meat on them while cooking and after a quick cleaning you can’t even tell and as a busy mom of 6, that’s important to me! I’ve been using these for my daily walks/runs and noticed that I haven’t been kicking them off the moment I walk in the door compared to my other sneakers. I continue wearing them throughout the day without thinking twice about what’s on my feet and that really says something for me. I used to choose my shoes mainly based on style and not comfort but with these shoes I don’t have to sacrifice either of those things. It’s hard to choose what I like most about these but one of my many favorite features would have to be the fact that these have GORE-TEX because why wouldn’t I want to keep my feet dry and comfy?! I also wouldn’t necessarily change anything about them but I will say this… I have a very high arched foot so maybe offering a more form fitting insole could be an option in the future. I truly can’t wait to wear these for many more days to come and I plan to convince my husband to get himself a pair as well!

Incredible fit

1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing the Women’s Ghost 17 GTX and it’s quickly become my go-to for rainy days and unpredictable weather. The fit is true to size with just the right amount of cushioning supportive without being stiff, and comfortable enough for all-day wear. I love that the Gore-Tex fabric keeps my feet dry without making them feel sweaty or suffocated, which is rare in waterproof shoes. The design is sleek and doesn’t look bulky or overly technical, which means I can wear them with almost anything. What I love most is the peace of mind. Whether I’m out for a walk, running errands, or chasing my toddler through wet grass, I know my feet are protected and comfortable. If I could change anything, I’d make the toe box slightly more flexible for higher-intensity movement, but for everyday wear and wet weather, these shoes are hard to beat.

New go to

1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the shoe so much and they make me able to run better while wearing them. The ghost 17 GTX felt a little weird the first time I wore them because I wasn’t used to the thick sole but I was happy to see they make me bounce and run faster. I have friends on my cross country team that I let borrow for warm ups and they loved them so much they made the switch too. This will be a favorite of mine.

From the Zoo to the Greenway, These Shoes Deliver!

1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Brooks Ghost 17 GTX in the white and light blue color, which just happen to be my favorite colors. I couldn’t be happier with the look and performance. Fit & Feel: The fit is spot on, snug in all the right places without feeling tight. The cushioning is exactly what you’d expect from Brooks: soft, responsive, and supportive. Whether I’m spending hours walking around a sweltering zoo or going for a run on the Greenway, my feet stay comfortable the entire time. No rubbing, no blisters, no hot spots — just all-day comfort. Design: The design is clean, stylish, and versatile. The white and light blue combo gives them a fresh, modern look that easily transitions from workout wear to casual outings. I’ve already had a few people ask where I got them! Fabric: The GTX material is breathable and lightweight, yet durable and water-resistant perfect for unpredictable summer weather or early morning runs when the ground is still wet. My feet stay dry without overheating, even on the hottest days. What I liked most / What I’d change: What I love most is the balance of comfort and performance, it’s rare to find a shoe that feels this good on both long walks and short runs. If I had to change one thing, I’d maybe add a little more arch support for those with higher arches, but that’s more of a personal preference.
