Brooks Men's Ghost Sneaker

I have purchased Ghosts for years--it is my go-to training shoe. After buying the 17 though I am very disappointed. The changes to the new Ghost made it very uncomfortable. The higher cut and firm material around the front of the ankle continually rubbed into my skin and caused it to bleed. I tried to make it work for me, but after three weeks of training in the Ghosts I had to give them up. The change in midsole drop from 12mm to 10mm did not provide the same base/support that I was accustomed to, leading to an injury on the arch and heel of my foot. I will not purchase new versions of Ghosts again if they do not return to their previous cut /fit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a reliable, great looking shoe for your runs and cross training needs, look no more! This shoe is supportive, noticeably light weight and is very comfortable for running, cross training at the gym and for a day out and about. I got the black on black color and love how they look. I’ve been using this shoe for about 3 weeks now and would recommend them. They run true to size. The heel height on this shoe is a bit higher than other running shoes I’ve used in the past, but it does not bother me and does not impact my run performance at all. Overall, I thought this shoe was great and can’t wait to keep using them!

*So far so good. *Fit seems good *Stability seems good; basic design of shoe in terms of linking uppers to soles seems better than most I have experienced in past. *Monitoring outsole wear closely; based on my usage, have probably consumed about 10% of design life of shoes based on mileage. *Are sockliners intended to be removable and replaceable on this shoe? *If I were redesigning shoe, would relook size of lacing holes in relation to cross-sectional size of laces -- when I return from a session under load, feet are naturally swollen and sweaty. Existing lacing setup on Ghost 17 makes loosening laces to remove shoes a challenge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great sneaker. I work on my feet in a hospital and my feet feel great after wearing these They have great padding and very comfortable. For the price you can't go wrong.

This is the best road trainer I have ever experienced from Brooks (and I have been running in Brooks for many years). Last year, I felt like I needed a little more cushion for the winter and I went with the Glycerin 21. It was a great shoe as well, but I always felt like it was a little much in the way of cushioning. This summer I returned to the Ghost. The Ghost 17 has more cushioning than the 16, but less than the Glycerin. It's like a Glycerin Lite. The perfect amount of cushion. The added cushioning in the forefoot is noticeable and was needed. Also, decreasing the drop to 10mm is a positive change. Highly recommend!
