Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a versatile, high-performance running trainer designed for adult male runners seeking a reliable daily driver that balances soft cushioning with a responsive ride. By utilizing the advanced DNA Loft v3 foam, this shoe provides exceptional comfort for both short training sessions and demanding long-distance efforts, though runners with specific overpronation needs may find it lacks dedicated stability features. Its refined upper design and strategic perforations ensure consistent airflow, making it a dependable choice for those prioritizing durability and a smooth, natural transition on the road.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Ghost 17 is a neutral running shoe. While it works for many, those with severe flat feet or stability requirements may want to pair them with an aftermarket supportive insole.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While primarily designed for running, the stable platform of the Ghost 17 makes them quite capable for light gym work, though they are not designed for heavy powerlifting.

How long should a pair of Ghost 17s last?

Generally, running shoes lose their optimal cushioning properties between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and individual gait.

Does this shoe come in different widths?

Brooks often produces the Ghost series in multiple widths. Please check the specific product availability for wide or narrow sizing options.

Is the Ghost 17 waterproof?

No, the Ghost 17 is designed for maximum breathability and does not feature waterproof membranes.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping or instability during corners.

Ensure the laces are tightened specifically at the midfoot and consider using the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique.

Foot feels too tight during long runs.

Ensure you are using thin performance socks to allow for minor foot swelling that naturally occurs over distance.

Accumulated dirt in the perforations.

Use a soft-bristled brush once the dirt has dried to gently flick debris out of the ventilation holes.

  • Versatile design suitable for various running speeds and distances

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your Brooks Ghost 17, start by loosening the laces fully and re-tying them while the foot is inside to achieve a personalized fit. If you use custom orthotics, the factory-fitted insoles are removable, allowing you to easily substitute them for your preferred inserts.

For care, it is best to avoid washing the shoes in a machine or using harsh detergents. Instead, spot clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked during a run, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with crumpled paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture, then let them air dry in a cool, well-ventilated space. Avoid placing them near heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the foam properties.
