Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 17 is designed for adult female runners seeking a reliable, cushioned daily trainer that balances comfort with performance. Featuring the advanced DNA Loft v3 foam, this shoe excels at providing soft, responsive landings and smooth heel-to-toe transitions, making it an excellent choice for both recovery jogs and high-mileage training sessions. While the shoe offers exceptional breathability thanks to its updated upper perforations, users should note that as a neutral trainer, it lacks the specialized stability features required by those with severe overpronation.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Ghost 17 good for wide feet?
The Ghost 17 provides a standard athletic fit; if you typically require extra room, ensure you check for specific wide-width availability.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the DNA Loft v3 cushioning is specifically designed to provide the lasting support required for high-mileage marathon training.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Is the Ghost 17 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 17 is categorized as a neutral running shoe, meaning it does not feature post-stabilization for severe overpronation.
Are they suitable for gym workouts?
While optimized for running, their stable base makes them suitable for cross-training activities like treadmill work or general weight training.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as the window lacing technique, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Excessive movement inside the shoe
Re-tighten the laces using a runner's loop (heel lock) to secure the ankle collar more firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, secure the laces with a standard knot, ensuring the tongue is centered to prevent friction against the top of the foot. These shoes are compatible with various neutral insoles if you require specific arch support. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying. Instead, spot clean with mild soap and a soft brush. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with paper to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can damage the foam's integrity.
