FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Ghost 17 is a neutral running shoe. If you require significant arch support, you may consider using aftermarket orthotic insoles.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

Yes, they provide enough stability for general gym training, though they are primarily optimized for linear running movements.

How often should I replace my Ghost 17 shoes?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Are they waterproof?

No, the shoes prioritize breathability through perforations and are not designed to be waterproof.

What is the best way to clean the white colourway?

Spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, water, and mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that can yellow the white material.

Do these run true to size?

Most users find that the Brooks Ghost series runs true to standard athletic shoe sizing. Ensure you allow a thumb-width of space in the toe box.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot

Try using an alternative lacing pattern, such as a window lacing technique, to relieve pressure on the bridge.

Heel slippage during runs

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a runner's loop (lock lacing) for a tighter heel fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning with DNA Loft v3 foam
  • Highly breathable upper for temperature control
  • Reliable, consistent performance for daily training
  • Secure and adjustable lacing system
  • Durable build quality suitable for long-distance runs

Cons

  • Primarily designed for neutral runners
  • Not intended for technical trail or off-road conditions
  • Limited style variety compared to fashion-first sneakers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, lace the shoes snugly but not too tightly to maintain proper circulation. These trainers are compatible with standard running socks; ensure your socks are made of synthetic or wool blends to complement the breathable upper. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight.
