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.

Here's what customers have to say

Here is the refined product review summary: The updated Brooks Ghost 17 running shoes have received a mixed response. Some users appreciate the increased cushioning and responsive ride, while others are disappointed by the narrower toe box, higher heel, and changes to the overall fit and comfort level. Several reviewers found the shoes to feel stiffer, less flexible, and less supportive compared to previous models, leading to issues like heel slippage and foot/leg pain. However, some users reported excellent cushioning and support, especially for everyday wear. The updated styling was also praised by some.

Perfect for longer runs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my Brooks Ghost 17 in pink! 💖 They’re incredibly comfortable right out of the box — soft cushioning, great support, and super smooth for both long runs and everyday wear. The fit feels secure without being tight, and the breathable upper keeps my feet cool even on longer runs. The color is gorgeous too — the pink adds such a fun, vibrant touch without being too flashy.

These have been a disappointment. I got blisters on the insides of my heels and all my previous ghost models have been great. I can’t wear these.

Meh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really trying to like this shoe. I’ve had multiple ghost versions all the way back from the 10. This one I feel like it’s digging into my ankle and when I run or walk, it just feels uncomfortable on the ankle. The cushion on the bottom is pretty good. The material overall does feel stiff and not as forgiving the depth of the tow box feels like there’s too much room, but the width of the tow box is pretty good. I am not 100% sold on this yet but I feel like it took me a while to break in the version 15.

Stylish and very roomy lengthwise.

Lightweight, stylish. Fit was less snug than other styles I’ve tried.

Perfect training shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing the ghost model for a decade as my go-to training shoe. They are perfect for my foot shape and running style. I have a neutral stride (no supination or pronation), a typical arch, and need a wider toe box. The ghost is a perfect match. I just upgraded to the 17 and I couldn’t be happier. Love this color too! Perfect for fall and winter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the most comfortable ghost I have purchased so far. I work long days. As a nurse I am on my feet non-stop and the ghost 17 have so much cushion I feel like I am walking on clouds. My feet never hurt and my leg pains are gone.

Color is great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color isn't offered in mens so we gave it a try to purchase through womens design. I found that this shoe fits my foot better in width as my feet are long and narrow. I will definitely be ordering more shoes in both men and women.

Please don’t buy this

Don’t buy this unless you love being uncomfortable and like the look of wearing a cardboard box on your feet (which would honestly be an improvement over the 17)

If it’s Opposite Day and you’re looking for a “great” shoe

I’ve been buying Ghost since 2009 - the Ghost 17 is one of the worst shoes I have ever tried on/walked in. The new and “improved” additions to this shoe are the downfall of this shoe. The amount of foam added makes the shoe uncomfortable, the material is stiff and lacking any and all padding, the new laces feel cheap and are impossible to tighten, and the back part of the shoe meant to support your ankle is entirely too short, stiff, and tight. If anyone knows where I can buy the 15 or any other model - please help a girl out.
