Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize smooth transitions and sustained comfort during daily training. Featuring Brooks' signature DNA Loft v3 foam technology, it offers a plush, responsive feel that helps mitigate impact. While these trainers excel at providing a consistent, reliable ride for various distances, they are specifically optimized for road running and may lack the aggressive lug depth required for technical trail terrain.

FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 a stability shoe?

No, the Ghost 17 is categorized as a neutral running shoe, designed for runners who do not require extra arch support or medial posting.

Can I use these for trail running?

These shoes are designed primarily for roads and light paths. They do not have the deep lug depth necessary for traction on technical or slippery trails.

How long should these shoes last?

Typically, these trainers provide optimal cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait style.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.

What is the drop of the Ghost 17?

The Ghost 17 maintains a traditional offset, which encourages a smooth transition for most runners.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Loosen the laces across the midfoot or try a different lacing pattern, such as the 'window' lacing method to relieve pressure points.

Heel slipping during runs

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock for a more secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption with DNA Loft v3
  • Highly breathable upper for temperature management
  • Reliable and consistent platform for neutral runners
  • Versatile design suitable for daily training

Cons

  • Not suitable for deep mud or technical trails
  • Limited colorway options compared to some performance rivals
  • Traditional lacing may require adjustment for some foot widths

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you have a thumbs-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
  2. Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform 2-3 short runs to allow the foam and upper to contour to your foot.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the DNA Loft v3 foam structure.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the midsole material.
