Description
The Ghost 17 is Brooks best-selling daily trainer, a shoe that became legend for reliability and comfort. 2025 update: stack height increased to 36.5mm heel / 26.5mm forefoot (10mm drop, was 12mm v16), completely revised midsole with nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 (softer and slightly more responsive than v2). Engineered double-jacquard mesh upper with 59 percent recycled materials, swallowtail Achilles tab to avoid pressure/rubbing. Weight 290g (US 9). RoadTack rubber outsole for durability and grip. Available in Wide and Extra-Wide widths. For hybrid athletes: the Ghost 17 is the go-to neutral daily trainer for those wanting no surprises. Immediate step-in comfort, stable and predictable ride, great for daily training and daily walking. Less reactive than Novablast 5 or Clifton 10 but more reliable long-term. 10mm drop favors heel strikers.

Generous yet responsive cushioning: perfect for daily miles and easy long runs. Still intact after 200 km. Price is a bit high, but justified.
