tongue on shoes are very stiff and misshapen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] comfortable but the tongue on the shoes are very stiff and have a fold in them that cuts into your upper foot. Hoping breaking them in will help, but they should be packed with something inside the shoes so the tongue doesn't crinkle and then it's very hard to straighten out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All my tennis shoes are brooks and these are by far the most uncomfortable shoes I’ve ever put on my feet!!!!

Good shoe for my big, wide foot. I wore Dyads and this is the first acceptable Brooks replacement. The cushion is nice, but at times makes it feel less stable. I'm frustrated by the lack of colors in my size (13 4E). I don't want bright orange soles!

Purple Ghosts Pass the Eye Test
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I always choose the Ghosts because of comfort level, longevity, and how I have reduced injuries since switching to them. What makes this specific pair stand out is the color, though. The amount of positive comments I receive on the design and color appeal is like no pair I’ve ever had. Part of that is men’s Ghosts have never come in purple (our high school’s primary color. As a coach, these paired nicely with our athletic gear and they were a hit!

Ghosts have become too narrow
Unfortunately these have become too narrow for me. I’ve worn the ghosts since the 13, but I had to go to 2E for the ghost 16 and now even the 4E for the ghost 17s have become too narrow. I really love the ghosts and hope they go back to the wider box so I can keep wearing them!

Great improvement over Ghost 16
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cushioning is deeper compared to the 16. The stride is super comfortable and rolls well. The elongated and stiffer back makes it easier to put on the shoe, while less likely to fold over. The loop on the tongue also makes it easier to put on the shoe and makes it less likely to fold over.

Brooks is the best
I have run in only Brooks shoes for over 20 years, 15 marathons and innumerable walks. No need to change now.
