Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Ensure you are wearing appropriate technical socks and consider lacing adjustments to alleviate pressure on the top of the foot.
Reduced cushioning responsiveness
Ensure the outsoles are free of debris or lodged gravel which can interfere with the shoe's natural flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Brooks Ghost Amp, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Breaking In: While designed for comfort, take your first few runs at a moderate pace to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Surface Compatibility: Stick to asphalt, track, or flat concrete surfaces to maintain the integrity of the outsole.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the DNA HYPE nitrogen-injected components.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Direct sunlight or extreme heat sources (like radiators) can warp the cushioning materials.
