Full details
The Brooks Ghost 17 Trainers are designed for adult female runners looking for a reliable daily road training shoe that balances responsive cushioning with long-distance stability. Featuring the updated DNA LOFT v3 technology, these trainers provide a smooth, natural transition underfoot while maintaining a breathable fit; however, users should note that as a dedicated road shoe, they are not optimized for technical trail running or high-intensity lateral movement.

FAQs
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The Ghost series is known for a accommodating fit, but if you have notably wide feet, check for 'Wide' (D) versions specifically.
How many miles can I expect from the Ghost 17?
Most runners get between 300 to 500 miles, depending on running surface, weight, and gait.
Can I use these for HIIT workouts?
The Ghost 17 is designed for forward motion (running). It lacks the lateral stability required for HIIT or gym-based lateral movements.
Is the Ghost 17 waterproof?
No, it features a breathable engineered mesh upper, which is designed to let air through and is not waterproof.
Does the Ghost 17 offer arch support?
It is a neutral shoe, meaning it is designed for runners with neutral arches or those who do not require significant corrective posting.
How do I choose the right size?
Brooks trainers generally follow standard sizing; however, always measure your feet in the afternoon when they are slightly swollen for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing technique, such as using a 'window' lacing method to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
The mesh upper feels dirty
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud, then wipe with a damp cloth; never submerge the shoes completely.
Excessive wear on the outsole
Check your running gait to ensure you aren't dragging your feet, and rotate these with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers, avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can break down the adhesives and the integrity of the foam cushioning. Instead, remove the sock liners and air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. When fitting, ensure you have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise. For cleaning, wipe down the mesh and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
