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 marathon trainees. It provides a smooth, cushioned ride thanks to nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 foam and a refined, breathable engineered mesh upper that ensures a secure, comfortable fit. While it excels at daily road running and walking, runners requiring heavy stability or pronation control may find the neutral support profile insufficient for their specific needs.

FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 good for wide feet?

Yes, Brooks offers multiple width options for the Ghost series to accommodate different foot shapes.

Does this shoe provide stability for overpronation?

No, the Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe. If you require stability features for overpronation, you may need a different model.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Absolutely. The Ghost 17 is a highly durable daily trainer capable of handling the mileage required for marathon prep.

What is the weight difference between this and previous versions?

The Ghost 17 focuses on a refined fit and nitrogen-infused cushioning, generally maintaining the reliable lightweight feel fans expect.

Is the Ghost 17 suitable for gym workouts?

It is primarily designed for running and walking, but it can be used for light gym activities. For heavy weightlifting, a flatter, more stable shoe might be preferred.

How often should I replace my Ghost 17s?

It is recommended to replace them every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of insufficient arch support

Consider using a custom orthotic insole, but ensure the shoe remains comfortable after insertion.

Outsole collecting small debris

Use a dull tool or brush to remove stones or pebbles trapped in the segmented outsole grooves to maintain grip.

Upper feeling too tight

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a window-lacing technique to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe, ensure it matches your natural foot strike by checking your gait. For the best fit, replace your old running shoes every 300 to 500 miles to maintain the structural integrity of the DNA Loft v3 foam.

To clean your Ghost 17s:

  1. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush.
  2. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  3. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources.
  4. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning performance.
