FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the Brooks Ghost series is known for its accommodating fit, and the Ghost 17 is available in multiple width options to cater to various foot shapes.

Can I use these shoes for walking?

Absolutely. The cushioning and neutral support of the Ghost 17 make it an excellent choice for walking and everyday standing activities.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Ghost 17?

The Brooks Ghost 17 features a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop, designed to encourage a smooth and fluid stride.

How many miles can I expect to get out of these shoes?

Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait mechanics.

Is this a stability shoe?

No, the Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe, meaning it is designed for runners who do not require specific arch support or corrective features for overpronation.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is highly recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the foam and glue.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure or rubbing on the midfoot

Try adjusting your lacing pattern using the top eyelet to create a 'runner's loop' for a more secure, customized fit.

Outsole collecting gravel or debris

Periodically inspect the segmented outsole treads after runs and clear any wedged small stones with a blunt tool to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Brooks Ghost 17, ensure you select the correct size for your foot shape—Brooks offers multiple width options for those needing extra room. When you first receive the shoes, lace them comfortably to allow the upper mesh to contour to your midfoot. To clean, wipe away excess dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for stains; never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp.
