Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a premier neutral daily trainer designed for runners of all abilities, ranging from beginners to marathon enthusiasts, who seek a consistent and reliable ride. Its key benefit lies in the nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 midsole, which provides a plush, responsive cushioning system for road running and high-mileage training. While this shoe offers exceptional durability and comfort, users should note that its neutral support design is specifically tailored for those who do not require extra stability features for overpronation.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure across the midfoot

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to 'window lacing' to alleviate pressure on the top of the foot.

Premature wear on the outsole

Ensure you are using the shoe primarily on roads or paths, as gravel or rough terrain will accelerate rubber degradation.

Slipping in the heel

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the collar to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Brooks Ghost 17 remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:

Sizing: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during runs.
Lacing: Use the eyelets to customize your lockdown, especially if you have a narrower heel.
Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid putting them in the washing machine, as high heat and agitation can degrade the midsole foam and adhesives.
Drying: Air dry only. Remove the insoles to speed up the process and avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
