FAQs

Is the Ghost 17 suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, the Ghost 17 is specifically engineered for high-mileage training and provides excellent cushioning for long runs.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While excellent for walking and treadmill running, they are primarily road-running shoes and may lack the lateral stability needed for heavy weightlifting.

Does this model offer arch support?

The Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe, meaning it provides standard cushioning rather than corrective arch support for overpronation.

How long should a pair of Ghost 17s last?

Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 17 last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Is the mesh upper waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh is designed for maximum breathability, meaning it will allow water to pass through if running in heavy rain.

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash your Brooks shoes, as this can break down the adhesives and the integrity of the foam.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot

Try adjusting your lacing pattern. A 'window' lacing technique can relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.

Excessive heel slippage

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe for a 'runner's loop' or heel lock to secure the collar firmly against your ankle.

Rapid outsole wear

Check your running gait for heavy heel-dragging; if this occurs, consider a gait analysis to ensure the Ghost's neutral support is the right match for your biomechanics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your Brooks Ghost 17, start by ensuring you are wearing the correct size; the shoe features a neutral support build that accommodates most foot shapes, but it is available in multiple widths if you require more room in the toe box.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Remove the insoles and laces to wash separately.
  • Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area. Do not place shoes in a dryer, as high heat can damage the DNA LOFT v3 foam and glue bonding.
  • Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material degradation.
