FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for trail running?
These trainers are specifically designed for road running. While they perform well on packed dirt paths, they lack the aggressive tread needed for technical, muddy, or loose trails.
How do I determine my size?
It is recommended to use the standard UK sizing guide. Consider leaving a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box to accommodate foot expansion.
Can I machine wash my Brooks Ghost 17s?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the performance of the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning. Use a damp cloth for spot cleaning instead.
What is the primary benefit of DNA LOFT v3?
DNA LOFT v3 provides a lighter, more responsive, and softer cushion compared to previous versions, leading to smoother transitions.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles depending on your running surface and biomechanics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points during runs
Adjust the lacing tension across the midfoot to allow for more natural foot swelling during exercise.
Accumulated dirt in mesh
Allow mud or debris to dry completely, then gently tap the outsoles together and use a soft-bristled brush to clear the mesh pores.
Sensation of reduced cushioning
Ensure the shoe is fully dry after use; moisture can temporarily affect the responsiveness of the foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Always ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot profile to avoid pressure points. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after your run and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid using a washing machine or dryer as high heat can compromise the cushioning materials. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
