My new pair of Brooks Ghost 17 Women's Oyster/Apricot/Pink shoes are awesome. I have been wearing dark Brooks for at least the last five years . Styles have been limited because I take an EE. When this pair of Ghost 17 were advertised I was very excited. A new color, the expanded widths available and the special technology in the heel. After getting them I am not disappointed. There is a distinct cushion in the heel, the boxy toe allows lots of room for toes that need space, and the color is certainly lighter than what I was wearing. Even the shoe laces are just the right length.
