- Is the Ghost 17 GTX good for daily training?
- Yes. It is a neutral daily trainer built for steady road miles, with more cushioning than the Ghost 16. The waterproof upper makes it a good pick for wet or cold runs.
- How does it differ from the regular Ghost 17?
- The main difference is the Gore-Tex upper, which keeps water out but adds weight and warmth. The midsole and cushioning are the same as the standard Ghost 17.
- Does the Gore-Tex upper breathe well?
- It is less breathable than the mesh upper on the standard Ghost. It works well in rain and cold, but feet run warmer in hot weather.
- How does it compare with the Ghost 16?
- The Ghost 17 GTX has more cushioning in the heel and forefoot than the Ghost 16. The fit and neutral ride carry over, so fans of the line should feel at home.
- Is it true to size?
- Owners say it fits like earlier Ghost models, so most runners can take their usual Brooks size. Those between sizes may want to try both.
- What is it best for?
- Wet-weather daily runs, commuting and walking. It is not a race shoe; for speed work, lighter neutral trainers are a better fit.
