Huge Disappointment w/ terrible redesign
Huge Disappointment!!!! have been ordering the Ghost since the 11, and I will not order it again. The 17 was a full inch too long for my foot, even though I ordered my regular size. Other than the length being all wrong, the fit of the shoe was entirely different than past models. My feet hurt all day and I couldn’t wait to take them off. I am devastated that my “go to” shoe has been completely redesigned and has lost all of the comfort that made the Ghost famous.

Ghost 14 & 15 much better. Cut too low at ankles. Strings way too short. Not enough support. I returned them.

So disappointed
I have been wearing the Ghost shoe for years, I switched from Asics because the fit was so much better and the shoe was so comfortable. I am so disappointed with the shoe. The fit is comfortable and the toe box is wide enough for my foot but the difference in the drop from the 16 is killing my feet. I am a physical therapist assistant and on my feet all day and have never had an issue with any of the other Ghost's but I can know longer wear the 17's. I've never had plantar fasciitis but have developed it since wearing this shoe. Please put the drop back where it was, the shoe was awesome!

Great Runner, Great Colors
These shoes are comfortable, supportive and flexible. I was looking for a road runner for my arsenal and chose the BRIGHT pink versions. I love them!

Love these sneakers!
I absolutely love these new ghost 17 sneakers. They have more bounce and cushion than my previous ghost sneakers. I have been wearing the ghost line for many years, and I think that these are the most comfortable. I highly recommend them.

Daily running shoe
Rubs the top of my foot, below my great toe, & leaves a bruise after running several days in a row.

Ghost 17 Good Fit for My Narrow Width
Very comfortable. Narrow width fit me perfectly. Not good, for me, running on turf as sole catches and caused fall but great on other surfaces. Once the sole wears down some shoe should be good on turf.

Ghost 17 is very comfortable...I do not use for running, but walking....can't run any longer due to bad knee. I do recommend it for walking, do not have any knee or back issues with this.
