Ghost 17 Wide Running Shoe offers soft cushioning and extra room for smooth, supported miles

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"The wide fit makes all the difference—no more pressure on my toes or arch. The cushioning is super smooth underfoot, especially in the heel, and it holds up really well on longer efforts. A go-to daily trainer for sure."


With the Brooks Ghost 17 Wide Running Shoe, we get the same trusted comfort and performance of the original Ghost 17, now with an accommodating fit that gives our feet the extra space they need. Whether we have naturally wider feet or simply want more wiggle room, this version provides the plush feel and stability we count on for high-mileage training.


The updated cushioning in the heel and forefoot works with Brooks' DNA LOFT v2 midsole to create an effortlessly smooth ride. Combined with a structured engineered mesh upper and a 10mm drop for balanced transitions, the Ghost 17 Wide is ready to keep us comfortable from first mile to last.

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.
