Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is designed for adult female runners and walkers who prioritize a neutral, cushioned ride for their daily fitness routines. This shoe excels by offering a soft, nitrogen-infused experience that enhances comfort through increased heel and forefoot cushioning compared to its predecessor. While it provides an exceptionally smooth transition for road running, potential users should note that its specialized design is primarily optimized for paved surfaces rather than technical trails.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

At 9.0oz, it is a relatively lightweight trainer that balances protection and speed.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slippage in the heel

Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lace' technique using the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system.

Midsole feeling stiff initially

The nitrogen-infused foam requires a short break-in period; walk in them for 10-15 miles to allow the foam to adapt to your stride.

  • Lightweight build at just 9.0oz
  • Highly breathable upper material
  • Certified CarbonNeutral product

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that the shoe size matches your current needs, as runner feet can expand over long distances. The Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe, making it compatible with various foot shapes that do not require specific pronation control inserts.

Care Instructions:

  1. Do not machine wash or dry.
  2. Clean the outer air mesh with a soft brush and mild soap and water.
  3. Remove the sock liner to air dry if the shoes get wet internally.
  4. Avoid leaving them in direct high heat or inside a hot car, as this can degrade the nitrogen-infused midsole foam.
