Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 17 is designed for adult runners who prioritize consistent comfort and reliable performance during daily training or long-distance efforts. Featuring advanced nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 foam, it provides a balanced, responsive ride that caters to a wide range of foot strikes. While it excels in cushioning and durability, runners seeking a highly specialized racing shoe for maximum speed may find its focus on comfort over weight-shaving slightly limiting.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 17 good for flat feet?
The Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe. While many runners with flat feet prefer neutral cushioning, consult a specialist to determine if you require additional arch support or stability features.
How many miles can I expect from these shoes?
Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, weight, and gait mechanics.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and walking, the cushioning is optimized for forward motion. They are suitable for light gym use but may lack the lateral stability required for heavy lifting or high-intensity side-to-side agility drills.
Is the sizing true to size?
Brooks generally fits true to size. If you plan on wearing thick running socks, some runners prefer to size up by a half size to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Ghost 17 features a removable insole, making it compatible with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels sliding inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle more firmly.
Foam feels stiff in cold temperatures
This is common with many EVA-based foams; perform a short warm-up walk to allow the cushioning to warm up and regain its intended flexibility.
Accumulated dirt in the upper perforations
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris once the shoes have fully dried after a run.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional cushioning with DNA Loft v3 technology
- Highly breathable upper design for temperature management
- Versatile performance suitable for both daily runs and distance
- Consistent and smooth ride quality
Cons
- Focuses on comfort rather than being an ultra-lightweight racing flat
- May feel less responsive than carbon-plated speed shoes
- Style is utility-focused rather than fashion-forward
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 17 shoes last through their intended mileage, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter walks or easy runs for the first few days to allow the upper to adapt to your foot.
- Lacing: Use the eyelets effectively to adjust tension across the midfoot for a secure lockdown that doesn't restrict circulation.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Never put your running shoes in the washing machine or dryer, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue.
- Storage: Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp materials.
