Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a reliable, high-cushion shoe for daily training and long-distance runs. These trainers provide a smooth, comfortable ride thanks to integrated foam technology, though runners preferring a lightweight racing flat may find the plush cushioning slightly bulkier than expected.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Ghost 17 offers neutral support and cushioning. If you have specific arch concerns, consult a gait specialist to see if an additional insole is required.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While primarily for running, their stable base makes them suitable for moderate gym activities, though they are not designed for heavy lateral movement sports.

How should I store them?

Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the foam and upper materials from drying out or discoloring.

Does the size reflect standard UK sizing?

Yes, these are sized according to standard UK adult female sizing. If you wear thick performance socks, you may consider a half-size larger than your casual footwear.

Are the laces replaceable?

Yes, you can replace the provided laces with any standard athletic shoelace if you need a different length or tension profile.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points around the midfoot.

Adjust your lacing pattern. Using a 'runner's loop' or skipping the eyelet that causes pressure can often alleviate discomfort.

Upper mesh appearing dusty or slightly stained.

Gently clean the mesh using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a solution of water and mild detergent, then blot with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers, consider these guidelines:

  • Break-in Period: While these shoes are comfortable out of the box, perform a few short walks before committing to a long-distance run.
  • Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each run. For a deeper clean, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge in water or use a washing machine.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the foam integrity.
  • Replacement: Generally, replace these trainers every 300 to 500 miles depending on your running surface and gait patterns to ensure the cushioning remains effective.
