FAQs

Is the Ghost 17 good for flat feet?

The Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe, meaning it provides support through its balanced geometry rather than a rigid medial post. It is suitable for flat feet if you do not require clinical-grade overpronation control.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash running shoes as it can break down the adhesives and degrade the midsole foam technology.

How many miles do these shoes typically last?

Most runners can expect between 300 to 500 miles, depending on body weight, running surface, and gait mechanics.

Are these suitable for trail running?

While durable enough for hard-packed, groomed trails, the outsole is optimized for road surfaces and may lack sufficient grip for technical or muddy terrain.

Does this shoe come in wide widths?

Yes, Brooks typically offers the Ghost series in multiple widths; check your specific vendor availability.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points across the top of the foot

Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as window lacing, to relieve tension over the bridge of the foot.

Early signs of outsole wear

Check your running form for excessive dragging or heel-striking; ensure the shoes are being used primarily on road surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for long-distance training
  • Breathable engineered mesh upper prevents overheating
  • Consistent and smooth transition through the gait cycle
  • Highly durable outsole suitable for daily road running

Cons

  • Not intended for speed-focused racing or track performance
  • Standard width fit may feel snug for those with wider feet
  • Traditional design lacks the propulsion features of carbon-plated shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your Brooks Ghost 17, begin by properly lacing the shoes to match your foot shape—use the top eyelet for a 'runner's lock' if you experience heel slip. These shoes are compatible with standard and custom orthotics if you need to swap out the factory insole.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth after runs.
  2. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to air dry naturally.
  3. Avoid placing shoes in a clothes dryer, as the heat can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning.
  4. Rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the midsole foam to recover its shape between uses.
