Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 17 is a neutral running trainer designed for daily training, offering a refined balance of soft cushioning and reliable stability for runners of all levels. While it provides an incredibly smooth heel-to-toe transition and improved comfort in the forefoot, runners looking for an ultra-responsive race-day shoe may find the focus on plush comfort slightly less aggressive than specialized speed models.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 17 a stability shoe?
No, it is classified as a neutral trainer designed for runners who do not require extra arch support for overpronation.
How do I know my size in Brooks?
Brooks generally follows standard UK sizing. We recommend measuring your foot size in the afternoon, as feet tend to swell throughout the day.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost 17 is highly regarded as a daily trainer capable of handling the high mileage associated with marathon preparation.
How often should I replace them?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the standard Ghost 17 upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping or heel lift
Try using the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Dirt accumulation on the upper
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to spot clean the upper; do not submerge the shoes in water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure you have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Because the Ghost 17 features an engineered upper, it will naturally contour to your foot shape over the first few miles. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with mild soap and a soft brush, and let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the cushioning foam.
