Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a versatile, neutral daily trainer designed for runners and walkers seeking a reliable balance of cushioning and stability. Featuring the updated nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 midsole, this shoe provides a plush, responsive ride that excels during high-mileage training or everyday movement. While it offers exceptional comfort and durability for most users, those requiring high-level motion control or stability support for severe overpronation may find the neutral design less suitable for their specific needs.

FAQs

Is the Ghost 17 a stability shoe?

No, the Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe designed for runners who do not require extra medial support for overpronation.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, the durability and cushioning of the DNA Loft v3 foam make the Ghost 17 a popular choice for high-mileage marathon training.

How do I know if I need a wide fit?

If you experience pressure or rubbing along the sides of your feet or at the base of your toes, consider one of the wider fit options available.

How long should these shoes last?

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

Is the upper machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash your shoes as it can damage the glue and performance materials; clean by hand using mild soap and water.

Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?

Yes, the Ghost 17 features a removable sock liner that can be replaced with most custom orthotic inserts.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Adjust the laces using a window lacing technique or loosen the tension over the midfoot to reduce pressure points.

The shoe feels slippery on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole grooves are clear of trapped small stones or debris, as buildup can affect the rubber's natural grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Plush, soft cushioning suitable for long-distance runs
  • Highly breathable upper material keeps feet cool
  • Durable outsole provides reliable traction on pavement
  • Certified for diabetic use and APMA approved

Cons

  • Neutral platform is not designed for significant overpronation
  • May feel too soft for runners who prefer a firm, ground-feel shoe
  • Limited to road and light pavement use rather than technical trails

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17, start by ensuring you have the correct size for your gait; the shoe is available in multiple widths to accommodate different foot volumes. When first using the shoes, allow for a brief break-in period of 15–20 miles for the materials to adapt to your stride. To care for the shoes, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after wet or muddy runs. If the shoes become soaked, remove the sock liners and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture in a well-ventilated area; never dry them in direct heat or near radiators, as this can damage the midsole foam properties.
