FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for a marathon?

Yes, the Ghost 17 is built with durable, responsive cushioning, making it an excellent choice for long-distance training and marathon racing for many runners.

How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 17?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on.

Are these neutral shoes?

Yes, the Ghost series is designed as a neutral trainer, providing balanced cushioning without intrusive stability features.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your shoes, as this can damage the foam and adhesives. Use hand cleaning methods instead.

Do they provide good arch support?

The Ghost 17 provides moderate, natural arch support, which works well for most neutral runners.

Are the laces replaceable?

Yes, the laces are standard length and can be replaced with any standard athletic lace if they become worn.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure or hot spots on the top of the foot

Adjust the lacing style to skip the eyelets causing pressure, or loosen the tension across the mid-foot.

Heel slipping while running

Try using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar against the heel.

Foam feels firmer than expected

New foam often requires a short break-in period of 20-30 miles to reach optimal cushioning properties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-level cushioning with responsive DNA Loft v3 technology
  • Excellent breathability due to strategic upper perforations
  • Versatile design suitable for varied distances and daily training
  • Reliable lace system for a secure, tailored fit

Cons

  • Primarily designed for road running, may lack traction on technical trails
  • The breathable mesh may allow water ingress in wet conditions
  • Requires proper sizing check as fit can vary slightly between models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

  1. Fit Check: Ensure the lace fastening provides a secure fit without restricting circulation. The mid-foot should feel snug while the toe box remains roomy.
  2. Compatibility: These shoes are optimized for road surfaces and paved tracks. They are not intended for heavy-duty trail use.
  3. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after runs. If they become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  4. Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Never place running shoes in a tumble dryer or near a direct heat source like a radiator, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
