FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Ghost 17 is optimized for roads and paved paths. While it can handle light gravel, it is not designed for technical trail terrain.
How long should these trainers last?
Typically, daily trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the DNA LOFT v3 foam. Use a damp cloth and mild soap for cleaning.
Is this a stability shoe?
The Ghost 17 is classified as a neutral trainer. It provides stable support but does not feature specific corrective elements for severe overpronation.
How does DNA LOFT v3 differ from previous versions?
The v3 version is designed to be lighter and more responsive, providing a higher energy return while maintaining the soft, plush feel associated with the Ghost series.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight or restricted
Try adjusting the lacing technique, such as using the eyelet furthest up the shoe to create a runner's loop for better heel lock, or loosen the lower laces.
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure the shoe has had at least 24 hours to recover and decompress the cushioning foam between sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your Brooks Ghost 17, ensure you have selected the correct size (UK 7.5 for this variant). Upon arrival, check that the laces are adjusted to provide a secure lockdown without cutting off circulation. For maintenance, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can break down the foam and adhesive. Instead, clean the shoes by wiping them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the structural integrity of the upper and sole.
