Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a versatile daily trainer designed for runners of all abilities who prioritize comfort, consistency, and a smooth ride on road surfaces. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 foam, this shoe provides soft, responsive cushioning that performs well during both short daily training runs and long-distance efforts. While it offers excellent durability and a reliable neutral fit, users should note that the updated 10 mm heel-to-toe drop is specifically engineered to favor stride fluidity over high-performance speed work.

FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 good for wide feet?

Yes, Brooks offers various width options in the Ghost series to accommodate different foot shapes for enhanced comfort.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Absolutely. The Ghost 17 is well-regarded for its durability and cushioning, making it a popular choice for high-mileage marathon training.

Are these shoes suitable for trails?

The Ghost 17 is designed specifically for road and pavement. While they may handle light, packed dirt paths, they are not intended for technical trail running.

How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 17s?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

What is the weight of the Ghost 17?

The weight can vary by size, but it is built to remain lightweight for efficient daily training.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your shoes, as this can damage the cushioning materials and glues; hand cleaning with mild soap and water is preferred.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure or pain on the top of the foot

Loosen the laces across the affected area and consider using a lacing technique like 'window lacing' to relieve pressure.

Slippage in the heel during runs

Use the extra top eyelet to create a runner's loop (heel lock) for a more secure fit.

Foam feeling flat or less responsive

Check if the midsole has been exposed to extreme temperatures or high moisture for prolonged periods; rotate your shoes to allow the foam to decompress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17, start by properly adjusting the lace tension to match your foot shape; ensure it is snug across the midfoot without restricting circulation. The shoes are designed to be compatible with neutral gait patterns, but if you wear custom orthotic insoles, you can remove the factory-fitted liners to accommodate them.

Care instructions are straightforward: keep the shoes clean by wiping them with a damp cloth after particularly dusty runs. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using high-heat drying methods like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the foam's integrity and compromise the adhesive bonds. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with paper towels to draw out moisture in a well-ventilated area.
