FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for marathon training?

Yes, the Ghost 17 is a popular choice for marathon training due to its durable cushioning and comfort over long distances.

Does this shoe provide stability for overpronation?

No, the Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe. It is designed for runners who do not overpronate and do not require additional medial support.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While intended for running, they are stable enough for light gym work, though they are not specialized for heavy lifting or lateral movement drills.

How often should I replace the Ghost 17?

Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 17 should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

No, the engineered mesh is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Upper material feels too tight across the top of the foot

Try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to reduce pressure on the bridge of the foot.

Feeling discomfort in the arch area

Ensure you are using the correct size; if discomfort persists, consider using an aftermarket neutral insole for better volume management.

Outsole loses traction on slick surfaces

While durable, the rubber can collect debris. Use a stiff brush to clear the outsole grooves to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17, start by selecting the correct fit; Brooks offers various widths to accommodate different foot shapes. Ensure the lacing is snug across the midfoot without restricting circulation.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after runs. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains.
Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the midsole foam.
Rotation: For best results, rotate these with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between runs.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
