Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 17 is designed for neutral runners seeking a reliable, versatile daily trainer that balances comfort with performance. It is perfect for those logging daily miles or training for long distances, offering a smooth and stable ride thanks to its updated nitrogen-infused cushioning. While it excels in durability and consistent feel, users who prefer a minimal or zero-drop shoe may find its 10 mm heel-to-toe drop more substantial than their typical preferences.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for high-arched feet?
Yes, its neutral construction and accommodating fit work well for most neutral runners, including those with high arches.
How many miles can I expect from the Ghost 17?
Generally, you can expect between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait.
Does this shoe have a wide fit option?
The Ghost series is available in various widths, though stock varies by retailer and specific regional releases.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the Ghost 17 features a removable sockliner, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics comfortably.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The standard Ghost 17 is designed for breathability, so it is not waterproof, though the material dries relatively quickly.
What is the primary difference between the Ghost 16 and 17?
The Ghost 17 features updated DNA Loft v3 nitrogen-infused foam for a more responsive and lighter feel compared to previous versions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on top of the foot
Try skipping the eyelet where the pressure is felt or switch to a parallel lacing technique to reduce midfoot tension.
Heel slipping while running
Use a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing method to create a more secure fit around the ankle collar.
Foam feeling firm in cold weather
Allow the shoes to sit in a room-temperature environment before your run; nitrogen-infused foam can temporarily stiffen in extreme cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Brooks Ghost 17, ensure the lacing system is adjusted to accommodate your specific foot volume without creating pressure points. These trainers are strictly designed for road or smooth path running; using them on rugged trails may degrade the outsole faster than intended. To clean your shoes, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and wash by hand using a mild soap and cold water. Never put your running shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can compromise the foam technology and the adhesive bonds. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
