Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a premium neutral trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize comfort and reliable performance during daily road training. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, this shoe delivers a smooth, fluid stride that excels on asphalt surfaces. While it provides exceptional stability and energy return for long-distance efforts, users should note that its design is specifically optimized for neutral mechanics, making it less suitable for those requiring significant overpronation support.

Material stiffness

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning-to-weight ratio
  • Highly breathable upper material
  • Smooth transition for neutral runners
  • Durable design suitable for daily asphalt training
  • Responsive energy return from nitrogen-infused foam

Cons

  • Not intended for technical trail running
  • Lacks specific stability features for severe overpronation
  • Primary focus is on road surfaces rather than versatility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17, proper fit and maintenance are essential. When you first receive the shoes, ensure there is roughly a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand wash using mild soap and a soft brush.
  • Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can break down the DNA LOFT v3 foam.
  • Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.
  • If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying.
