Fit and Feel: Classic Comfort Meets Modern Upgrades
The Ghost line has always been known for its out-of-the-box comfort, and both the Ghost 16 and Ghost 17 continue that legacy. From the first step, you’ll notice the same reliable feel that Ghost fans have come to love. The Ghost 17, in particular, offers a slightly more snug toe box and an updated upper design with double-jacquard air mesh and reinforced TPU eyelets. While the fit feels similar overall, the 17 offers a slightly more secure heel lockdown and a refined, performance-forward look.
Tested across a wide range of surfaces—including gravel, asphalt, stairs, and even beach paths—the Ghost 17 delivers a smooth, cushioned ride. Despite a gain in weight (0.6 oz for men, 0.5 oz for women), it feels well-balanced and grounded, with a neutral platform that supports most gait types. It’s not overly plush or bouncy, which many runners will appreciate for its natural feel and ability to handle daily mileage without gimmicks.
Technical Details: What’s New in the Brooks Ghost 17
The Ghost 17 features some key updates over the 16. Brooks added 3mm more DNA Loft v3 foam in the forefoot and 1mm more in the heel, giving runners an extra dose of softness underfoot without compromising the shoe’s neutral, responsive character. The heel-to-toe drop has been adjusted to 10mm (down from 12mm), and the stack height now measures 36mm in the heel and 26mm in the forefoot, offering better alignment for many runners. Additional updates include a raised heel collar for easier on/off and more secure fit, and flexible toe-off mechanics that keep the Ghost feeling fluid on hard surfaces.
Whether you prefer the proven performance of the Ghost 16 at a discounted price or want the latest updates in the Ghost 17, both models are now available at Confluence Running. With multiple widths, color options, and dependable cushioning, it’s no wonder the Brooks Ghost remains one of the top-selling neutral running shoes in the world.
