Brooks Womens Ghost 17 Running Shoe Wide

This is the absolute worst shoe I have ever worn for walking because I literally can’t run in them. I purchased them at a local running shoe store. I was fitted in them. I brought up some concerns that were waived off. The shoe is too big on my foot. I have worn every Ghost since the 13’s and these are just awful. They feel too hard, too big and my heel slips out of the shoe no matter how tight I tie them. My foot is sliding around in the shoe. I’ve never had this happen to me before. I can’t return the shoes because I had them too long. It really makes me sad because my legs and knees really hurt after trying to make this shoe work for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wide feet so it is hard for me to find shoes that fit. These came in wide and fit my feet perfectly! My feet feel supported and every step is comfortable. Very great quality and well made shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Look my brooks. Wish they had more colors for xwide. But I never have to break them in. Just put them on and go. Feels like walking in a cloud.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this same shoe in another color and this shoe does not feel as cushiony as the other pair

Really comfortable and has great support. It is like firm mattress on my feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No cushion or comfortable at all. I prefer Ghost max

I echo many of the other comments on how disappointing this shoe is. I wear a narrow and there is such a limited amount of choices in shoes for me. The 15 and even the 16 were good for my narrow foot, but the 17 is horrible, I can barely wear them for more than 7 hours (work in an ED and on my feet all day). The others were great, but my heel slips and the toe box on the narrow is wide. Even my legs hurt after trying to wear these. I use to wear Adrenaline, but that has also changed. There are already so few choices for those who wear narrow shoes. I originally bought 2 pair of these as narrow go fast, but ended up sending the second pair back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wearing Ghosts for at least 10 years. I had been holding off on getting the 17's because of the reviews. But when they came on sale just as one of my 15's developed a hole I decided to go for it. But sadly the reviews provided true this time. These are providing me my typical Ghost fit or comfort. The back of the shoes rub unfortunately and are too high and stiff. I sized up a half size like usual. I've tried wearing for shorter periods to try and break them in but no luck. I've always been able to wear my Ghosts for 10 and 12 hour shifts right out of the box, but sadly not with these. Hopefully the 18's have a better fit.
