Full details
The Brooks Ghost Amp is a high-performance trainer engineered for adult male runners who demand a blend of energizing responsiveness and cushioned comfort. Ideal for both daily mileage and speed-focused sessions, it features advanced nitrogen-infused cushioning and specialized forefoot technology to provide a propulsive feel. While these trainers excel at promoting a natural stride, runners accustomed to extreme stability support may find the focus on lightweight speed a different experience compared to traditional motion-control footwear.

FAQs
What is the heel-to-toe offset for this shoe?
The Brooks Ghost Amp features a 6mm heel-to-toe offset, which is designed to encourage a more natural foot strike.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the DNA HYPE cushioning and lightweight design make these suitable for high-mileage training.
Are these suitable for trail running?
These are primarily designed as road trainers. While they can handle light, flat paths, they lack the aggressive lugs required for technical trails.
How should I clean the knit upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt, then use a damp cloth with mild soap for any stains. Never put them in the washing machine or dryer.
Is the Ghost Amp designed for overpronators?
The Ghost Amp is designed for neutral runners. If you require significant stability or motion control, you may want to consult a specialist to see if this shoe meets your specific biomechanical needs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the midfoot
Adjust the tension of the laces. The gusseted tongue and lockdown system are designed for a snug fit, so you may need to loosen them slightly to accommodate your foot volume.
Upper mesh feels hot during long runs
Ensure you are using lightweight, moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than thick cotton socks to allow the knit upper's ventilation to work correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost Amp trainers, follow these guidelines:
Setup:
- Ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks to complement the snug fit provided by the gusseted tongue.
- Tighten laces starting from the bottom eyelets moving upwards to utilize the midfoot lockdown system effectively.
Compatibility:
- These trainers are designed for neutral runners looking for a propulsive, responsive ride.
- They are suitable for most road and treadmill surfaces.
Care:
- Clean by gently scrubbing with a soft brush and mild soap; avoid high-heat drying or direct sunlight, which can damage the midsole foam.
- Air dry at room temperature to preserve the integrity of the knit upper and cushioning materials.
