FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for wide feet?

Yes, Brooks offers multiple width options to accommodate different foot volumes and shapes.

Does this shoe provide stability for overpronation?

No, the Ghost 17 is designed for neutral runners. If you need stability features, you may want to explore other Brooks models.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While excellent for treadmill running and cardio, the cushioning may be too soft for heavy weightlifting or lateral-movement-heavy training.

What is the weight of the Ghost 17?

Weight varies by size, but it is engineered to be lightweight enough for high-mileage daily training.

How long should these shoes last?

Under normal running conditions, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles before the cushioning properties start to degrade.

Troubleshooting

Foot slippage inside the shoe

Try a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to better secure the heel area.

Feeling of excess heat/sweat

Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic socks rather than cotton, which traps moisture.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

Check if the midsole has reached its mileage limit, typically between 300 to 500 miles, indicating it is time for a replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17, begin by properly lacing the shoes to secure the midfoot without restricting circulation. The shoes are fully compatible with custom orthotics if you require specific arch support. To maintain the integrity of the foam and outsole:

Wipe away excess mud or debris after outdoor runs using a soft, damp cloth.
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole foam.
Avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes can break down the adhesives and structural components of the upper.
Consider rotating between two pairs of shoes if you run daily, allowing the foam 24-48 hours to fully decompress.
