FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Ghost 17 is a neutral trainer. If you have severe flat feet that require heavy medial support, consult with a podiatrist to see if an aftermarket insole is necessary.

Can I use these for trail running?

While they perform well on light, gravel paths, they are designed for roads and lack the aggressive lug patterns needed for technical or muddy trails.

How many miles can I expect from these shoes?

Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 17 retain their optimal cushioning and structural integrity for approximately 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and weight.

Are these waterproof?

No, the upper is designed for maximum breathability, which means water can pass through the mesh material.

How should the shoe fit?

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot

Try adjusting your lacing technique, such as using a 'window lacing' pattern to relieve pressure on the midfoot.

Outsole collecting small debris or stones

Regularly inspect the tread after road runs and use a blunt tool to carefully remove any trapped pebbles or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning-to-weight ratio
  • Breathable material keeps feet cool
  • Smooth and fluid stride transitions
  • Durable outsole for consistent road performance

Cons

  • Not intended for technical trail running
  • Neutral support may not suit severe overpronators

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17, follow these guidelines:

  • Breaking In: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks before starting high-mileage runs to let the upper adapt to your foot shape.
  • Cleaning: Clean your trainers by hand using a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent. Avoid the washing machine, as the high heat and agitation can degrade the adhesive and foam properties.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Remove the sockliner to speed up the process and store in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
  • Rotation: To extend the life of the cushioning, rotate your shoes if you run daily, giving the foam at least 24 hours to recover its structure between sessions.
