FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Brooks Ghost 17 offers neutral support. Runners with flat feet may find them comfortable, but if you require significant overpronation support, you may want to consult with a podiatrist.

How often should I replace my Ghost 17s?

Generally, running shoes lose their structural integrity and cushioning properties between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and gait.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While excellent for running, their high cushioning profile may not be as stable as specialized training shoes for heavy lifting or lateral movement drills.

How do I clean the engineered mesh?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, then gently wipe with a cloth dampened with cool water and mild detergent. Air dry naturally.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Ghost 17 is designed for maximum breathability. While they handle light moisture, they are not intended to keep feet dry in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot

Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelets where the pressure occurs, or loosening the laces slightly across the midfoot.

Slippage in the heel area

Use a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return from DNA LOFT v3 foam
  • Highly breathable mesh reduces overheating
  • Smooth ride transition for natural gait cycles
  • Versatile design suitable for daily training

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme off-road or trail terrain
  • Design focuses more on comfort than aggressive speed
  • Requires proper sizing for optimal foot engagement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers provide the best experience, start by wearing them on short, indoor walks to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape. When sizing, ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for natural foot swelling during runs. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can break down the adhesives and foam properties. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the insoles become saturated with sweat, remove them and allow them to air dry in a cool, shaded place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which could warp the material.
