FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for overpronation?
No, the Ghost Amp is a neutral shoe and does not contain stability technology designed to correct overpronation.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, their durable build makes them well-suited for the high mileage required during marathon training cycles.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and individual wear patterns.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these are standard road trainers and are not constructed with waterproof or water-resistant membranes.
How should I clean the outsole?
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove pebbles and debris trapped in the tread, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Are these suitable for gym use?
While primarily for running, their stable, neutral base makes them acceptable for general gym work, though they are not specialized weightlifting shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during exercise; ensure you are tying your laces with enough room for expansion or consider a thinner sock.
Slipping on loose gravel
The Ghost Amp is a road shoe. If your route includes loose terrain, adjust your speed to maintain control or stick to paved paths.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost Amp lasts as long as possible, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Allow for a few short runs to let the materials adapt to your foot shape before attempting long-distance sessions.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If the shoes become very muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the foam density.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent premature breakdown of the midsole compounds.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between runs.
