Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 17 is designed for adult runners who prioritize consistent comfort and reliability for daily road training and long-distance runs. Its key benefit lies in the responsive DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which ensures smooth transitions with every step. While the shoe offers exceptional stability and breathability, users should note that it is specifically engineered for road surfaces, meaning it may lack the aggressive traction required for technical trail running.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Ghost 17 is a popular choice for marathon training and racing due to its long-lasting cushioning and stability.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The Ghost 17 is designed as a neutral trainer, providing balanced support suitable for most arch types.
How many miles should I expect from these trainers?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 17 provide optimal performance for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for road running, the cushioning is optimized for forward motion; for high-intensity lateral gym work, you might prefer a more stable training-specific shoe.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to gently clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is the Ghost 17 waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for breathability and will not repel water; avoid running through deep puddles if you want to keep your feet dry.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure or discomfort at the midfoot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet over the pressure point, to adjust the tension across the arch.
Upper mesh collecting debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently sweep off dust and dirt after every run to prevent particles from working into the fabric fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers, verify the fit before your first long run to avoid potential hot spots; a thumb's width of space at the toe is recommended. For maintenance, remove loose dirt after each run using a soft brush. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and cushioning properties. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
