Stay dry and cushioned on stormy runs in the Ghost 17 GTX Running Shoe—lightweight, waterproof, and responsive

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I took the Ghost 17 GTX out on a long run during a rainy morning, and the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper was a game-changer. It kept my feet dry without sacrificing breathability, and the DNA LOFT v3 midsole felt soft yet responsive from start to finish. It's my new go-to for mixed-weather training."


We don't let a little weather get in our way, and the Ghost 17 GTX Running Shoe is built with that same mindset. With Brooks' Invisible Fit GORE-TEX membrane, this road runner offers seamless waterproof protection without weighing you down or trapping heat. The feel is light, flexible, and ready to push through drizzle, mist, or full-on downpour.


Beneath the foot, the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning brings a pillowy, responsive ride, ideal for logging daily miles or tackling weekend long runs. Precise flex grooves in the updated midsole enhance toe-off transitions, while the revamped outsole provides reliable wet-traction where it matters most. Whether we’re chasing PRs or getting in a few rainy miles before work, the Ghost 17 GTX keeps every step confident and comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are amazing. I broke my foot in 2 places 8 months ago and these are the first shoes that allow me to walk comfortably

Great show and super comfortable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe and super comfortable. Fits true to size and seems to have more cushion than my regular Ghost running shoe.

STAND ON FEET ALL DAY. BUY THESE.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear these all day working in a shop on concrete. They are worth the money! I will be buying these again. Super comfy shoe saves my knees, hips, & lower back. If brooks made a shoe for mechanics this is it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in the medical profession and am on my feet all day long. These shoes are so comfortable, and sturdy at the same time. Also, Brooks has made the back end of the shoe at the top a little longer, and it makes for a good grip when putting these shoes on, and adds a little more stability to the shoe, as well. Overall, it's a well made shoe, and I will purchase it again.

Men’s Ghost 17 GTX

[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.

Better Heel Support and a Clean, Modern Look

[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.

Amazing new shoe, impressive comfort and low weight

[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.

Amazing fit and great for all day wear

[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.

Love these shoes

[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.
