Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 17 is designed for adult female runners seeking a balance of comfort and responsiveness, making it an ideal daily trainer for both casual joggers and distance enthusiasts. The primary benefit is the enhanced, nitrogen-infused cushioning that provides a soft landing while maintaining a lightweight feel during transitions; however, potential users should note that as a neutral trainer, it may lack the specific stability features required by those with severe overpronation.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost 17 is a neutral trainer. If you have flat feet that require significant medial support, you may need a custom orthotic insert to achieve the desired stability.
How do I know if the Ghost 17 fits correctly?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during movement.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand wash your shoes. The heat and agitation of a machine can damage the midsole adhesives and structural integrity of the upper.
Is the Ghost 17 good for trail running?
The Ghost 17 is primarily designed for road and treadmill use. Its outsole may not provide the necessary traction or rock protection for technical off-road trails.
How often should I replace my Ghost 17s?
Generally, running shoes lose their structural integrity and cushioning properties between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing technique to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure points over the bridge of the foot.
Rapid wear on the outsole
Ensure you are rotating your running shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between runs; avoid wearing them for non-running activities like gardening or heavy labor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ghost 17, it is recommended to allow the shoes to air dry naturally after runs in wet conditions. Avoid placing them in direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the foam cushioning. If cleaning is required, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth with mild soap for the upper. Ensure you check your sizing regularly, as feet can swell during exercise; selecting the correct UK size is vital for preventing blisters or pressure points.
