Brooks  Ghost 17 GORE-TEX Road-Running Shoes - Men's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned several pairs of brooks shoes, and these ones are my favorite. They are comfortable, supportive, and fit great on my feet. They have the perfect amount of cushion, and I find myself wearing them all day. I wouldn’t mind having the toe box be just a little wider, but my feet are on the wider side. I think these shoes look great. The color is toned down enough that I can wear them casually as well as for exercise. The fabric is quite breathable, the only downside is they get dirty fairly easily and they are not so easy to clean. Overall, I really like these shoes and will wear them regularly for a long time. I appreciate that I can wear them without my feet hurting at the end of the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Ghost 17 GTX. I primarily use them for work, where I am on my feet all day moving around on a concrete floor. They are extremely comfortable for this purpose. I also work in a wet environment, so I appreciate the grip and sturdiness of the shoes as I move about my workspace. On top of that, the GoreTex feature keeps my feet dry, as there is often water splashing on me. They feel 100% waterproof in this respect. As far as style, the dominant gray color works well for me and doesn't seem to show dirt or wear very easily. Overall, while these Ghost 17 GTX are billed as a running shoe, I find that they work very well for all-day wear in a work environment where comfort and dryness are essential.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not a runner. However I am on my feet a lot each and every day and put in a lot of steps. I got these shoes because of the waterproof. Because they’re waterproof they also keep my feet much warmer during the winter months. These shoes do not disappoint. When I get home at the end of the day my feet do not hurt. I have no problems making it through a long work day…inside or outside. Overall a great shoe. The ghost series of brooks are my absolute favorite.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used my new Ghost 17 GTX for a handful of runs ranging from 2-5 miles. Really enjoyed the fit and feel of these compared to some of my other running shoes. They almost feel like they’re propelling me forward a bit. True to size, very light. Great for casual running, and would think nice long runs. Hoping to get a few in coming up. I also wore them as a casual sneaker to a trip in the city, lots of walking, but comfort the whole day. My kid did manage to drop chocolate ice cream on them, and not as easy to clean off as I’d have hoped. White is a tough color to keep a running shoe clean though. Overall great shoe, would recommend to any of my running buddies.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have become my new go-to shoes. Although I'm not running currently, I do walk outside pretty extensively and do occasional outdoor stair-climbs, along with regular weight lifting, and these have been sturdy and durable for those purposes along with casual daily wear. They fit me perfectly and true to size, and they're very comfortable. The color is a neutral gray which is easy to match with most outfit colors. No complaints here!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Think this is my 4th pair of ghost gtx shoes. Haven’t put many miles on them yet but they are very comfortable and the best looking ones yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my first pair of Brooks shoes, and I am so very impressed with the comfort, air flow, traction, ease of slipping on or off, and the overall appearance of these Ghost 17 GTX's! I am not an avid runner if comparing to someone who competes in marathons, but I put in some miles of my own on various surfacs like concrete, dirt roads/gravel, grass, xc type trails and the shoes have performed very well on each. Traction isn't an issue that I've found, even on some damp conditions. Having used these on 90*F+ days, the air flow and ventilation is really good. Though, because of this if it rains you will have wet feet pretty quickly; always trade-offs. Not a knock, just the reality. I had injured my back and I have to say, keeping these tied was still easy to slip on/off while retaining a tight feel, and the heel pull tab really helped get the shoes on, it was nice while I was nursing my lower back! I would 100% buy another pair of these, no question.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing the Brooks Ghost 17 GTX for a couple of weeks now and I’ve really grown to love them. The fit felt a little snug at first, especially around the toe area, but after a few wears they broke in nicely and now feel super comfortable. They give great support without feeling bulky, and I’ve had zero issues with rubbing or blisters. Design-wise, I think they look great, pretty simple and sleek. I can wear them for runs, errands, or even just walking around, and they still feel and look good. The waterproofing is a huge plus too. I’ve worn them in light rain and through some puddles and my feet stayed totally dry, which honestly surprised me. What I like most is how soft they feel underfoot, really cushiony but not in a squishy way. Just really easy on my knees and feet, especially on longer walks or jogs. If I could change one thing, I’d make the toe box a little roomier, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me. Overall, they’re a solid choice if you want a reliable, comfy sneaker that holds up in not-so-perfect weather.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Men’s Ghost 17 GTX fit exactly as expected—true to size with a super comfortable and supportive feel. I’ve worn them for a few runs and errands around town, and they’ve held up great with zero break-in needed. They feel stable but not stiff, which I really appreciate. Design-wise, they’re a nice step up from other Brooks shoes I’ve owned. I especially like the cleaner look with the “Brooks” text instead of the typical logo. The contrast in color makes it stand out just enough to catch the eye, but it’s subtle—not overly bold or in-your-face. The fabric feels high quality—soft and breathable in the right spots, but sturdy and structured where it matters. I tested the waterproof feature on a damp morning walk, and my feet stayed dry the whole time. My favorite feature is the rigid heel design. Instead of the usual heel tag, there’s a tougher piece that feels more durable and helps avoid the usual wear and tear at the back of the shoe. If I had to change something, I’d maybe add just a bit more arch support—but overall, I’m impressed.

Very comfortable and supportive the cushioning is amazing and makes running painless
