Full details

Are the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for trail running?

How do I clean my Brooks Ghost 17 trainers?
Clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush. Air dry them completely away from heat sources. Avoid machine washing or drying.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Ghost 17?
The heel-to-toe drop for the Brooks Ghost 17 is 10mm.
What type of runner is the Ghost 17 best for?
The Ghost 17 is best for neutral runners seeking balanced cushioning for daily road running, long distances, and recovery runs.
How much do the Brooks Ghost 17 weigh?
The women's Brooks Ghost 17 weighs approximately 255.1 grams.
Can I use these shoes for walking?
Yes, the comfortable cushioning and stable platform make the Ghost 17 suitable for walking as well as running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them, ensuring the heel is securely locked down. Consider trying a different lacing technique.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
While the DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can decrease with extensive mileage. Ensure you are not exceeding the typical lifespan for running shoes (300-500 miles). Clean the shoes to ensure no debris is affecting the feel.
Discomfort during runs.
Ensure the size and width are correct. Minor break-in may be required for new shoes. If persistent discomfort occurs, it might indicate an incompatibility with your gait or foot type. Consult with a running specialist.
