FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe. If you have mild flat feet without excessive overpronation, they may work, but those needing stability shoes should consult a gait analysis specialist.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, the Ghost 17 is specifically designed to handle high weekly mileage and long runs with consistent cushioning.

How often should I replace the Ghost 17?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Is the Ghost 17 waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.

Do these come in different widths?

Yes, Brooks offers multiple width options for the Ghost series to ensure an optimal fit for various foot shapes.

What is the weight of the shoe?

While specific weights vary by size, the Ghost 17 is engineered to feel light and natural throughout the gait cycle.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Try an alternative lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.

Premature wear on the outsole

Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on road or pavement surfaces; usage on rough trails or abrasive surfaces will accelerate rubber wear.

Slipping in the heel

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' for a more secure lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17, follow these guidelines:

Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for 10-20 miles of light use to let the upper adapt to your foot shape.
Sizing: These shoes are true to size, but always ensure your toe box allows for natural splay. Consider sizing up half a size if you frequently run long distances where feet tend to swell.
Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the DNA Loft foam and glue bonds.
Air Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the integrity of the cushioning materials.
