Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 17 trainers are designed for adult runners who prioritize a smooth, consistent ride during daily road training and long-distance runs. Featuring the signature DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, these shoes offer a responsive feel that balances softness with stability; however, users seeking a highly minimalist or trail-specific racer may find the structured cushioning and road-focused sole less suitable for technical off-road terrain.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 17 good for flat feet?
The Ghost 17 is a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent cushion, those with severe overpronation or flat feet may require a stability-specific shoe.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost 17 is designed as a reliable high-mileage trainer, making it a great candidate for marathon prep.
How do I know when to replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, or sooner if you notice visible midsole compression or reduced support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for breathability and will not repel water effectively in heavy rain.
Can I put these in the dryer?
Absolutely not. High heat from a dryer will destroy the structure of the shoe and compromise the responsiveness of the DNA LOFT v3 foam.
Are these suitable for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and treadmill work, the high-stack cushion may feel less stable for heavy weightlifting where a firm, flat base is preferred.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight across the bridge of the foot, and consider if your gait requires a specific type of arch support that differs from neutral shoes.
Mesh upper is holding onto odors
Remove the insoles after every run to air them out separately, and use a shoe-specific deodorizing spray to manage moisture build-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers last, begin by ensuring you have selected your correct UK size. During your first few runs, allow the upper material to adapt to your foot shape through natural tension. For care, avoid machine washing or drying the shoes, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning foam. Instead, if the shoes become muddy or dirty, use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh. Always air-dry your shoes at room temperature, keeping them away from direct sunlight or heaters, which can warp the materials over time. Replace your trainers every 300-500 miles to maintain the integrity of the cushioning system.
