FAQs
Is the Ghost 17 suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the DNA Loft v3 foam is designed to provide long-lasting comfort and impact protection, making it ideal for high-mileage training.
Does this shoe provide stability for overpronation?
The Ghost 17 is categorized as a neutral trainer, meaning it is designed for runners with neutral arches or those who do not require significant medial support.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 17 are recommended for replacement every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand clean your shoes to prevent damage to the upper materials and the integrity of the foam midsole.
What is the best way to dry the shoes if they get wet?
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels. Let them air dry in a well-ventilated room, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try skipping the eyelets where the pressure is felt or switch to a window-lacing technique to relieve tension.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper
Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with water and mild detergent to gently scrub the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Brooks Ghost 17, start by properly adjusting the laces to accommodate your foot volume without creating pressure points. The shoe is designed for standard road surfaces and is compatible with most aftermarket orthotics if additional arch support is required. For maintenance, avoid machine washing or drying the shoes, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, and air dry in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If the shoes become wet inside, stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
