Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking enhanced comfort on the road. They offer exceptional softness due to nitrogen-infused cushioning and a breathable yet structured fit from the air mesh upper. A potential consideration is their specific focus on neutral road running, which may not suit all terrains or running styles.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for trail running?

No, the Brooks Ghost 17 is specifically designed for road running. Its outsole and cushioning are optimized for paved surfaces and may not provide adequate grip or durability on trails.

What does 'Neutral Ride' mean?

A 'Neutral Ride' indicates that the shoe is designed for runners who have a neutral foot strike and do not require additional support for overpronation or supination. It allows for a natural motion of the foot.

How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 17 trainers?

Most running shoes, including the Ghost 17, are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (500-800 kilometers) or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support.

Can I wear these shoes for walking?

Yes, the comfortable cushioning makes them suitable for walking, though their primary design and features are optimized for running.

How does the nitrogen-infused cushioning differ from traditional foam?

Nitrogen-infused cushioning typically offers a softer, more responsive feel with enhanced durability compared to traditional EVA foams. It aims to provide a plush yet energetic ride.

What is the heel-to-toe drop, and is it suitable for everyone?

The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm. This is a moderate drop and is generally suitable for many runners. However, runners accustomed to lower or zero-drop shoes might need a transition period.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces or consider using thinner socks. If the issue persists, the width or shape may not be suitable for your foot.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

Cushioning can degrade over time with extensive use. If the shoes have high mileage, consider replacing them. Ensure the midsole is clean and free from debris.

Discomfort during runs

Break in the shoes gradually. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation. Ensure the shoe's intended use (road running, neutral ride) matches your running style and terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear running shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for short distances initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and fit.

Compatibility: The Brooks Ghost 17 is designed for neutral runners and is best suited for road running surfaces. It is compatible with most standard athletic socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
