Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a premier neutral daily trainer designed for runners of all abilities who prioritize consistent comfort and durability on road surfaces. It serves as an excellent workhorse for everything from recovery runs to long-distance mileage, featuring the updated nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 foam for a plush, responsive feel. While it excels in versatility, runners who require high-level stability or motion control features for overpronation may find the neutral support profile insufficient for their specific needs.

FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 a stability shoe?

No, the Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe designed for runners who do not require extra arch support or motion control features.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, many runners use the Ghost series for long-distance training due to its high level of cushioning and durability.

How does the drop differ from older models?

The Ghost 17 features a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop, which has been refined to offer a smoother transition compared to previous versions.

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The Ghost 17 is available in multiple width options, including wide fits, to accommodate different foot shapes comfortably.

How often should I replace the Ghost 17?

It is generally recommended to replace your running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and intensity.

What is DNA Loft v3?

DNA Loft v3 is Brooks' premium midsole technology that is nitrogen-infused, creating a lighter, softer, and more responsive cushion.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort in the arch area

Ensure you are using the correct width sizing and consider replacing the factory insole with an aftermarket orthotic if needed.

Heel slipping while running

Utilize the 'runner's loop' lacing technique through the top eyelet to create a tighter, more secure heel lockdown.

Exterior mesh appearing dirty or stained

Gently scrub the affected area with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not submerge the shoes in water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Brooks Ghost 17, ensure the initial fit is snug but allows for a thumb's width of space in the toe box. When lacing, use the extra eyelet (the 'runner's loop') if you experience heel slippage. For care, avoid putting these shoes in the washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the integrity of the foam and glue. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry away from direct sunlight. Replace the shoes every 300 to 500 miles, as the structural integrity of the midsole foam will naturally compress over time, reducing its protective cushioning properties.
