Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a versatile, neutral daily trainer designed for runners of all abilities, from beginners to high-mileage athletes looking for consistent comfort. It delivers a plush, responsive ride through nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 foam and a refined, breathable upper that ensures a secure midfoot lockdown. While it excels at road running and daily mileage, some runners may find the 10mm drop less aggressive than dedicated speed-oriented racing flats.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 17 shoes waterproof?

No, they are designed with an engineered mesh upper for maximum breathability, which is not waterproof.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, the Ghost 17 is specifically designed for high weekly mileage and long-distance comfort.

What gait type is this shoe for?

The Ghost 17 is built for runners with a neutral gait pattern.

Do these shoes come in wide sizes?

Yes, the series offers multiple width options to ensure an enhanced fit for different foot shapes.

How do I know when to replace them?

We recommend replacing your running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, or sooner if you notice visible midsole compression or outer sole wear.

Is the Ghost 17 suitable for gym workouts?

While primarily a running shoe, its neutral support and comfortable cushioning make it suitable for general training and walking.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or hot spots

Adjust the lacing tension or try a different lacing technique to better secure the midfoot.

Rapid loss of traction

Check the rubber outsole for buildup of debris or mud; clean with a damp cloth.

Feeling of instability

Ensure you are using the correct width size; improper width can cause the foot to sit incorrectly on the midsole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptionally smooth and soft transitions
Nitrogen-infused foam improves energy return
Breathable upper material reduces overheating
Highly durable outsole for long-distance training
Consistent, reliable performance for daily use

Cons

Not intended for high-speed track racing
Weight profile is built for comfort, not minimalism
10mm drop may feel too traditional for some minimalist runners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17, follow these care guidelines. Break the shoes in by wearing them for short walks before committing to a long-distance run. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp the foam or damage the adhesive. Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the mesh upper after muddy runs to maintain breathability. For optimal performance, replace the shoes every 300 to 500 miles, as the cushioning properties of the midsole will gradually compress over time.
