Full details
The Brooks Ghost Amp is a versatile, high-performance trainer designed for adult male runners who need a reliable shoe that transitions effortlessly from daily recovery runs to higher-intensity training sessions.

While it excels in comfort and lightweight construction, its specific performance geometry may require a brief adjustment period for those transitioning from high-drop, maximalist footwear.

FAQs
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Ghost Amp?
The Brooks Ghost Amp features a 6mm drop.
Can I use these for marathon racing?
Yes, their lightweight construction and responsive cushioning make them suitable for racing, provided the 6mm drop suits your personal running mechanics.
How should I clean the white sections of the shoe?
Use a soft brush and a mixture of water and mild dish soap. Gently scrub the soiled areas and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Ghost Amp is specifically designed for asphalt and road use; the tread pattern may not provide sufficient grip on loose or technical trail surfaces.
Why is the weight of the shoe significant?
At 255.1 grams, the lightweight design helps reduce muscle fatigue during longer runs and improves your ability to increase turnover during speed sessions.
What is the purpose of nitrogen-injected DNA HYPE?
Nitrogen-injection creates a foam structure with increased energy return, making the ride feel more responsive and 'bouncy' compared to standard EVA foam.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs
Try using the runner's loop (also known as the heel lock) lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Feeling too much pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust the laces to a 'window lacing' or 'parallel lacing' style to relieve pressure points over the bridge of the foot.
Early wear on the outsole
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on asphalt or track surfaces and avoid high-abrasion surfaces like gravel or rocky trails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost Amp trainers, proper fit and maintenance are essential. When first trying on the shoes, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean your trainers by hand using warm water, a mild soap, and a soft brush or cloth. Do not place them in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can degrade the advanced foam cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can warp the midsole materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and colour fading.
