Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a versatile, neutral-support running shoe designed for adult runners who prioritize consistent comfort during daily training and long-distance efforts. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 foam, it provides a plush and responsive ride that helps maintain fluidity mile after mile. While it excels as a reliable daily trainer, runners requiring significant stability for overpronation may find the neutral support profile insufficient for their specific needs.

FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 a stability shoe?

No, the Ghost 17 is classified as a neutral shoe designed for runners who do not overpronate.

Can I use these for walking?

Yes, the cushioning and smooth transition make them an excellent choice for long-distance walking as well as running.

How long should these shoes last?

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

Does this model come in wide widths?

Yes, Brooks offers multiple width options for the Ghost series to accommodate different foot shapes.

How does the drop compare to previous models?

The Ghost 17 features a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop, which is designed to provide a smoother transition than earlier versions.

What is DNA Loft v3?

It is a nitrogen-infused cushioning material that is lighter, softer, and more responsive than standard EVA foam.

Troubleshooting

Heel slippage while running

Try using the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique with the additional eyelet at the top of the shoe to tighten the heel fit.

Pressure points on the top of the foot

Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets and skip the eyelet directly over the pressure point to reduce tension.

Outsole losing traction

Check if the tread is clogged with debris or mud; clean the outsole with water and a stiff brush to restore traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptionally soft and responsive cushioning
Improved breathability from updated mesh design
Durable outsole suitable for high-mileage road training
Consistent and reliable fit across various foot shapes
Lightweight feel despite the plush foam

Cons

Not suitable for runners needing significant arch support or stability control
Limited to neutral gait biomechanics
May require a break-in period for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost 17, start by adjusting the lacing to match your midfoot volume; do not overtighten, as this can restrict natural foot swelling during runs. The shoes are fully compatible with most standard orthotic inserts if you require additional arch support.

For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the integrity of the nitrogen-infused foam. Instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the longevity of the materials.
