Brooks Women's Ghost 17 Gore-Tex Running Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear these shoes to the park on dewy mornings with my dog, and my feet stay perfectly dry. All other shoes fill with water immediately - but not these ones. Love them. Not sure about the white colorway for a water resistant shoe? Mine are definitely getting very muddy & grassy at times. Loved my last pair of blue ones. The black ones look like old people shoes, LOL, but other than that, they are perfect. After several months of daily wear in the rainy Pacific NW, I do re-spray them with some 3M water shield, which helps as they get more used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little stiffer then my regular Ghost 17s during the break in but over all just a wonderful as my Ghost 17 but my feet stay nice and dry while running in the rain!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes. I ordered a pair for both my husband and me four days before a 2 week trip to rainy Europe this month, hoping they would come in time. With Brooks' speedy shipping, they did! We walked all over a wet Germany and Amsterdam in them, and they did not disappoint. We love our Glycerins, but these were just as good. Based on other reviews, we sized up by a half size. They were perfect. We will be wearing them a lot this winter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits me well. Size 11. Easy to walk in. Improves my posture. Glad it’s water proof.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit of the Ghost 17 GTX is incredibly comfortable right out of the box. It has a snug, secure fit, with just the right amount of room in the toe box. The cushioning is so comfy without feeling overly soft. This shoe feels like it is pushing me forward with each step, which is nice. It feels stable and supportive, giving me the motivation to get moving. I feel like the design of the Brooks Ghost has a nice balance between athletic and stylish. I can definitely wear these shoes out for a walk or run as well as with a pair of jeans to go shopping. I like the clean white color of this shoe because it is not too flashy but still stylish. The Gore-Tex (GTX) is a super comfortable and flexible waterproof feature. It is breathable but still has great waterproof protection, making it ideal for those rainy days or puddles. The material feels durable but not stiff, so it is still amazingly comfortable. I love that my feet can stay dry and warm without overheating. The weatherproofing along with the comfort makes this shoe a great choice for unpredictable conditions. The cushioning is very comfortable and I love the way the shoe seems to propel me forward while I walk or run. It almost feels like cheating! I wouldn’t change anything about the Ghost 17 GTX!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Brooks Ghost 17 GTX in the white and light blue color, which just happen to be my favorite colors. I couldn’t be happier with the look and performance. Fit & Feel: The fit is spot on, snug in all the right places without feeling tight. The cushioning is exactly what you’d expect from Brooks: soft, responsive, and supportive. Whether I’m spending hours walking around a sweltering zoo or going for a run on the Greenway, my feet stay comfortable the entire time. No rubbing, no blisters, no hot spots — just all-day comfort. Design: The design is clean, stylish, and versatile. The white and light blue combo gives them a fresh, modern look that easily transitions from workout wear to casual outings. I’ve already had a few people ask where I got them! Fabric: The GTX material is breathable and lightweight, yet durable and water-resistant perfect for unpredictable summer weather or early morning runs when the ground is still wet. My feet stay dry without overheating, even on the hottest days. What I liked most / What I’d change: What I love most is the balance of comfort and performance, it’s rare to find a shoe that feels this good on both long walks and short runs. If I had to change one thing, I’d maybe add a little more arch support for those with higher arches, but that’s more of a personal preference.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "I'm like a human pogo stick! Look at this spring!" Literally my first words to my husband, 20 strides into the first run in my Ghost 17 GTXs. Over the last 5 weeks, these shoes have climbed over 15,000 vertical feet, covered nearly 100 miles, and kept me steady packing a toddler to Angels Landing and through the Narrows at Zion. I had zero issues breaking them in, and am still blown away by the cushion and rebound, especially given how light they are. I'm particular when it comes to aesthetics, and frequently sacrifice comfort for style. Love that these deliver both on fashion and function, and am honestly surprised at how well this light colorway held up through miles of water, dust, dirt, and mud. I wear a size 7 in most brands, but ordered a 7.5 on the advice of a friend and feel like it's been perfect. I feel like these breathe well even with the waterproof GORE-TEX upper, but did notice the heat start to build when we were in 100-degree+ conditions. If you live in an especially hot climate, I might stick with a mesh upper, but think these will be perfect for our fall, winter, and spring. I appreciated the stability and traction, especially as I recovered from a torn ligament in my right ankle. Overall impressed! Any chance you'll be releasing more colorways, Brooks? Please and thank you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the shoe so much and they make me able to run better while wearing them. The ghost 17 GTX felt a little weird the first time I wore them because I wasn’t used to the thick sole but I was happy to see they make me bounce and run faster. I have friends on my cross country team that I let borrow for warm ups and they loved them so much they made the switch too. This will be a favorite of mine.
