Is the Ghost 17 worth it?

Yes for neutral runners who want one dependable daily trainer. It is not the lightest or fastest shoe, but the cushioning and durability suit high weekly mileage.

How does the Ghost 17 compare with the Ghost 16?

The 17 keeps the same neutral DNA Loft v3 approach with small upper and fit refinements. Runners happy with the 16 have little reason to upgrade unless their pair is worn out.

Is the Ghost 17 good for overpronation?

No. It is a neutral shoe with no stability posting. Overpronators should look at Brooks' Adrenaline GTS line instead.

What is the drop and weight?

The Ghost 17 has a 12 mm heel-to-toe drop, matching earlier Ghost models. Weight is around 10 oz for a men's size 9, which is average for a cushioned trainer.

Does it fit true to size?

Most runners take their usual running-shoe size. The toe box is moderately roomy, so wide-footed runners may prefer the wide width.

When is the Ghost 17 cheapest?

Prices drop when Brooks releases the next Ghost and during seasonal sales. Watch for markdowns on older colorways rather than waiting for the current model to fall far.

Our take on the Brooks Women's Ghost 17

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a neutral daily trainer built for easy miles and long runs. It uses Brooks' DNA Loft v3 cushioning for soft landings with a stable, predictable ride. The engineered mesh upper is breathable and the shoe keeps a moderate weight for its cushioning. Pricing at major retailers typically sits near the middle of its recent range, so it is a fair buy at list price and a better one on sale.
