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.
