FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 a neutral or stability shoe?

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe, designed for runners who do not require extra corrective support for overpronation.

Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?

Yes, they are suitable for general gym use, treadmill runs, and walking, though they are specifically optimized for road running.

How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 17s?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

What is the benefit of the nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3?

The nitrogen infusion process allows for a softer, more lightweight foam that provides better energy return and durability.

Does the Ghost 17 come in wide widths?

Yes, Brooks offers the Ghost series in various width options to ensure a proper fit for different foot shapes.

Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, the Ghost 17 is widely considered an excellent choice for long-distance training due to its cushioning and supportive build.

Troubleshooting

Heel slipping while running

Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.

Upper mesh feels tight across the top of the foot

Adjust the lacing pattern to 'window lacing' or parallel lacing to relieve pressure on the top of the midfoot.

Excessive wear on the outsole after short mileage

Check your running surface; ensure you are primarily on roads or paths rather than abrasive surfaces, and check for signs of uneven gait which may require a professional gait analysis.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17s, proper care is essential. Upon first use, ensure the laces are snug but not restrictive to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise. The neutral profile makes them compatible with most standard orthotic inserts if you require additional arch support. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the upper using mild soap and water; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive. Always allow the shoes to air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.
