The shoe is comfortable in general and is well built. The padding is firm, not squishy. However, although not shown as a stabilization model, the shoe aggressively pushes my heals outward. I could not pronate inward if a tried.

Even though I ordered a double wide, the fit was still a little tight-so can only wear them comfortably when walking/running-love the cushioning!

Started off a great shoe but the insole on my left shoe kept slipping up the side and making it very uncomfortable to walk and run. The cushion is great but the fit isn’t. I’m a fan of the Ghost 16 fit. I would recommend getting the 16 over the 17.

Love them! Much better cushioning and comfort. Had developed my plantar fascia again and after getting this new version, it went away. Wish the had more colors in the 2E size.

Awesome shoe
Not quite as good as the Beast ! But the Beast 23, 24 don’t fit me like they use to ( hopefully this will change soon). In the meantime Ghost 17 has been excellent, just ordered 2 more pairs. FYI Beast 20 was the greatest shoe of all time. Would by 20 pairs if they were available (13 2E ) 😎
